Looking to get into basic/beginner IoT projects. My overall goal is to make my own Home Security system. Any projects, tips, or guidance would be amazing!
Youll want an mg996l to pull the string on your shotguns lever connected to an arduino. Then youll want a raspberry pi with facial recognition if it doesnt match you die.

>>2962353I will never live above an occupied garage because vehicles (not just BEV) are impressively flammable. My local fire chief lost his garage to an ICE car fire, which I found out when he arrived to put out my burning Suzuki which had an electrical fire I was not prepared (I rented part of a trailer and only had a little extinguisher) to extinguish. If you must do that consider installing a fire suppression system which is not difficult for a DIYer but it's still far wiser to separate home and vehicle storage so one cannot fratricide the other. You can connect them with an enclosed metal breezeway to avoid winter weather, and the garage itself can be steel instead of flammable wood as mine is. (I only add steel structures, each separated to prevent fratricide like the Air Force does muns storage.) The overall design pictured is fine but its wise to future proof before your inevitable age, physical decline and damage degrade your mobility. Build everything to make moving everything in and out easy and your entire life becomes much more comfy. Forethought is free. >>2963497>maybe if they were icy, but otherwise just don't be fatYou don't get to decide to be healthy and undamaged for life. It takes very little to fuck up mobility. Stairs WILL ensure at least one fall which further reduce mobility. Stairs should have a shallow pitch and strong railings sized for easy grabbing, but the really smart thing to do is build a ramp with suitable treads for winter/wet traction and have at least one winching point like a recessed D-ring placed where it cannot be a hazard. Rails should be strong enough to anchor rope pullers (Maasdam make nice ones) and gear like the small 12v Harbor Freight winches I use for horizontal pulling of heavy loads.I bought industrial mobile stairs to attach to my shipping container shop so I will never be forced to use a ladder. Multi-storey structures only make sense when coerced by owning a tiny lot.
>>2963502That's why I don't have anything like that in my home. It's for suckers
>>2963497I've been living in a house with 7 stairs to the main door, covered in tiles, for 35 years now.No casualties so far. There's like 3000 houses built like that in immediate vicinity of my house.I do agree that it's a design unnecessary if you live in the middle of nowhere and not in cramped suburbs. I still appreciate the ground floor being above the actual, floodable ground level.
cool ideas for slipping this o-ring into this shaft? i asked the suspension shop i got the rebuild kit from for tips and they said to use a hex key to guide the rest of the o-ring in and to have good luck, but it ain't working
>>2963425>there's no way I have the wrong model of rebuild kitjust because a mfg sends you a part with the correct number on the package doesnt mean its right part in reality t. mechanic back to the op cut a beer can up with a pair of scissors to get a rectangle of sheet metal. if your scissors are good there wont be much burr on the edges to worry about cutting the seal. wrap the sheet around the seal with it overlapping itself. put a hose clamp over it and gently crank everything down to the right diameter then push the seal ina piece of plastic works too
>>2963425then again you are a furfag anime poster
>>2963433I prefer plastic and have used that method several times. I also use extra plastic caulking gun nozzle sections cut to suit.
I can't quite follow what you're trying to do, but maybe castration pliers?
>>2963407>cool ideas for slipping this o-ring into this shaft?use an electrical tie to compress it and then slide it off the shaft once the o-ring is inside
These are the people I work with. They had a light. They broke it. They tried to add magnets. They drilled straight through all of the electronics. It won't turn on now. They're trying to charge it.
>>2963276Why did they add magnets? Why did they drill through it? If they don't kill themselves first then they'll probably kill you so enjoy your career, I guess. Wear a helmet?
>>2963283The light attached to things magnetically, they broke that part. So they tried to add magnets.

Last Threads: https://warosu.org/diy/?task=search2&search_username=artbyrobotTo begin: the project goal: I am working to make a series of humanoid robots. I am using a Biblical theme of naming the first 3 robots I make Adam, Eve, and Abel. The goal is for these robots to have human body inspired musculoskeletal systems, advanced AI, and that they look human and pass for human to a casual observer at least at a distance. They must be able to walk, talk, run, dance, do sports, do chores, manufacture products, and make more robots just like themselves if not even better. My aim is to build a single robot arm and head and then add sufficiently advanced AI to that arm and head to enable it to build the rest of its own body for me. This way I am delegating the work of building the majority of my first humanoid robot to that robot rather than doing that work myself - and this is to save me time.In a like manner, my goal with the AI is to code just enough AI that the AI can begin coding itself and this way I don't have to code most of the AI myself because it will self create itself. I liken this to building a seed and that seed growing into a tree because for me to code that tree would take too long for me and just creating the seed would then save me time.
>>2963261There's a difference between>I want it and I know I can get it because that's what I door>I want it and I'm willing to soldier through and make sacrificesand>I want it and I'll show everybodyYou can want it, but why should you get it if you don't have what it takes and you're not willing to humbly learn instead of pretending you're doing something meaningful

The fact you don't even know what you are looking at shows how ignorant you are of everything going on and how disqualified you are to make all these smug idiotic critiques.>unreadable mess that was his MS Paint power supply “schematic”shows how clueless you are and how you fail to read or understand anything going on in this thread - a fan made that in kicad and did so because he was able to read my ms paint schematic just fine because he's not retarded
>>2963285>The fact you don't even know what you are looking atnobody knows because you drew schematics in ms paint and every photo of this circuit makes it look like it was salvaged from a garbage dump
>>2963285>that's a lie I did not.why would the chatbot focus on low frequency aspect, then. It surely is a lie that you did not.>you just made that upit was a conditional statement based on the fact that your cyber buddy referenced audio. If your goal is to convince people you're truthful maybe you shouldn't delegate your public relations to a chatbot in the first place, lmao
>>2963453>why would the chatbot focus on low frequency aspectbecause a BLDC motor controller at its lower frequencies does not face the same ac impedence concerns that a high frequency device would and a lower current circuit like this also means less concerns about ac impedence. So once again stop lying and now you look ignorant even more nice job.
Hello Everyone,My wife and I have decided to build a village little by little every Christmas (only two homes so far). I was hoping people would have suggestions on what we should build besides the homes and carts we buy (hills, roads, lake/rivers, etc) so that it can look nice and, hopefully, be easy to store. If this belongs in a different board please let me know
This may not be 100% what you are looking for but there is a popular modeling youtuber called Nightshift who does a lot of diorama work you could check out, he obviously builds mostly battlefield stuff but most of the materials, tools, and techniques would be applicable to your project. The same would go for people interested in dollhouse making, model railroading, and even wargaming. Since you're on 4chinz you could look at the scale modeling general on /toy/, >>>11630462Insofar as materials you're going to want extruded plastic stock and sheets, balsa wood, insulation foam board, and Bondo. For tools, a razor knife and fine-toothed saws are key, as well as rasps. You might want to invest in an airbrush and hobby paints, trying to brush-paint a whole village would drive me crazy and rattlecans are going to be too much paint volume for miniatures. The biggest thing you'll run into is the relationship between your willingness to invest time and money and your tolerance for errors, inaccuracies, and shitty work. Quality work does not come fast or cheap.
>>2962673Seething
>>2961344>If this belongs in a different board please let me knowPinterest stuff
>>2961344growing up we had my O gauge train track screwed into a half sheet of plywood and for Christmas we would pull it out of the garage and put the tree stand in the middle of it then build a village around the tree skirt and the train tracks, then I would see if I could get the train to go fast enough to skip the tracks on a corner and crash into villager figurinesgood times, get a train
>>2961344If your base is not already very easy to lift I'd ensure you can hang the base and box the buildings in a divided box you can build to your preference. The easier your layout is to move and store the longer you'll enjoy it.Model railroaders have a vast variety of cook ways to make and mod things you can get ideas from.If you add a vertical back that permits more scenery and can make the assembly stiffer and box-like.
Why has construction gotten so shit over the past 20 years? Ever since the start of McMansions, it's gotten worse.What would you do if you were this young rocket scientist in this situation?

This is a Mexican tiktok trend, women posting videos in houses build on stone and drainages with tiled floors.Burger women see it on social media, copy it in meme wooden houses and get mold and ruined floors.Bravo.
>>296152320 ?Sit down OP... let me tell you a story. Here in England, I live in a house that parts of which are we think older than your country. Those were the bits built of (i shit you not) stone and 'cobb'. What is that? It's basically mud, straw cow shit and whatever else they had to hand - maybe the odd labourer too. My walls are about a meter thick and super, duper insulated. That part of the house is SOLID.Another part of the house was built in we think somewhere between the first and second world war. It was terrible. We're talking rotting wood from floor to waist height. A total write off. Multiple attempts had been made to stop rising damp over the last 30 years and all had been bodged.Then, there's the 80s extension. That was worse. Collapsed drain, so collapsed floor. Built over a fucking well. No drainage outside. Leaks down the walls. My point is, its not the last 20 years. It's been a steady decline for hundreds. We spent something like 100k on renovations, just to make it habitable. But also... dont be a retard, that's not how you mop.
>>2961774yesbut only when you average every aspect of a countryand it's a low bar
>>2961774Still better than whatever shithole you hail from... Unless you're one of those self-loathing Americans, then kindly fuck off somewhere else.

snowblower threadim thinking of buying one this year, live in a coastal area with heavy wet snowmy driveway is about 150 feet to the garage but since ive lived here ive just shoveled about 1/6th of it and kept the cars parked up front outsidei know nothing about them other than what im reading online im thinking a 300cc would be ideal maybe a toro, honda looks nice too but a bit $$
>>2961768Shoveling is annoying as hell with 12”+ of wet snow.Also what other anon said about the 2 stage snowblowers is true. I got a new 1-stage when I was still up north, and unless you had the perfect 2-3” of super fluffy snow, it was useless and I would drag out my ancient 2-stage and starter fluid that bitch until it ran. Got a new 2-stage and did not regret spending the extra like $300-$400 at all.
>>2961804I do have a solution for starting snowblowers with a gas press pump bulb & an electric starter that are problematic. Prime the snowblower with two full finger presses, then try and start...it won't start yet but WHILE it's cranking, press the bulb one more time...varoooom! The first two get some fuel moving through the system but don't seem to get into the carburator for the spark to take. If you go nuts on the bulb and then try and start it will flood the carb and nothing will happen until the gas evaporates. However, pressing the bulb while it's cranking gets it over the hump and lights up every single time. Saves ware on the starter. Oh and make sure your ON/OFF switch is set to ON, I've missed that before too in the dark... LOL.
>>2962093>the dreaded on/off switchYup, I’ve wasted some calories there too, why can’t they have a momentary kill switch like so many other gas engines so retards like myself don’t get frustrated?Oh and these Honda GX engines, the on-off switch is on the opposite side of the engine from where a right handed person would stand to pull the cord and adjust the choke and throttle so you don’t see it as you’re pulling and pulling. Those shifty japs!
My only criteria for a snow blower is that is two stage and made of metal.
I like my ego electric and it works in all but the worst blizzards. It's light and quick and I don't have to fuck with fuel and starting and shit. I wonder if they've improved since I've had it for seven years now. t. Coloradoan
How long does it take to get good at soldering. I've been at it all day and finished some wired for my car only to have solder flake off entirely.
>>2961819>How long does it take to get good at solderinghmmm... well I started when I was about 8 using a gun from the 60's. used that till it broke in the 80's. so for through hole? I would say about 1 week. for SMD? couple months.
>>2962142>realtek snibbety snabIt warms my heart that they have not changed their logo in decades. I hope they never change it.
I solder and crimp and then tape because I just know I'll fuck up at least two of those methods
>>2961819You need to be crimping. Soldering has no place in automotive wire harnesses. Do the job properly fggt.
>>2961819A day to a week. Correct tips, solder and flux make a huge difference. Like if you want to solder stainless steel you need some acidic flux or else it will never stick.
I am building a bed loft that will render the existence of this ceiling fan impractical. There'll be ~45" between the deck of the loft and the ceiling. Are there any good low-profile (less than ~6" depth) options to replace it with that don't have external moving parts but still have an internal fan to maintain some circulation up at the top of the room? Any other suggestions of neat fixtures that would suit the situation? Or should I just put in a little basic dome light and figure out something else for air circulation?

The door closer on the entry lobby door near my apartment allows the heavy glass and steel frame door to slam shut the last 8"-10" and it's pretty loud and annoyingMaintenance doesn't give a shit so I was wondering if I could adjust it myself?Can this be done and how does one do it?
>>2961035OP here with an update: I just adjusted the #2 screw on the door closer and now it closes properly without banging.Again, thanks man.
OP againWell since adjusting the door a problem.Apparently a large gust of wind slammed the door open and it shattered. It’s freezing our apartments.My neighbor ratted me out. Waiting for an eviction notice smdh
>>2961323OP returningI've barricade the door to my apartment with a broken (but still comfortable) La-Z-Boy.I'm well stocked with HotPockets and Mt.Dew.This is a day that will live in infamy.
>>2961323The door slammed open because you adjusted it? Or are they blaming you because they are assholes?Those doors are a fucking problem. Some people panic if the closer fails to close the door a single time (mah security). Others, like you, can't stand the constant banging noise. Fucking doors and their closers
>>2961323this happened to me in a hostel once with a window, 5-6 beds completely covered in glass
I've been renovating my house and have about half a ton of concrete deck footings I need to dispose of. The dumps in my country don't take them, which means I need to hire a service, and that's expensive and also annoying.My friend says he'll take them if I break them up into walnut-sized chunks. I'm slowly working through them with a sledgehammer and a metal spike.Any tips for doing it faster or easier?
>>2962693> throw them in the trashThis is what I did with concrete, construction waste and sod… it just took a while.Hide it in black trash bags.The other thing you can do is if you have another concrete project you want to do, just use the concrete chunks to infill the area and you’ll use less concrete. Concrete gets harder with age and that’s a great and valuable infill material. Just hose it down before fresh concrete to fill in the gaps.
>The dumps in my country don't take themit is a heavily recycled material they might have special designated spot for it. my local dump has a special road to get to the concrete asphalt disposal area. Might want to check with someone in the field.it is a crystal so heat might help breaking them in full sun, stacking them with the equivalent of a pea in-between could help. breaking them while buried will disperse the force both outward and down into the soil, so dig them out then break them.
>>2962567yeah...NO.I used one of those pieces of shit on a basement reno of a bookstore once.It lasted about half a day on 120 year old concrete. the dust went right into the the commutator and the brushes and everything were shot forever. Of course, this was in an enclosed area, and even though we used a Silo fan and 1' flexi-duct to vent it, the dust was still comparable to outside.Truly, those things are toys for weekend warriors to break after 1 use,(if that)If you are doing this outside, RENT and electric breaker.If it's more than a 10'x10' area, splash out on a pneumatic with a heavy duty tow behind compressor. Your neighbors might bitch at the loud noise, but it will only be for a day or 2.>>2962718This guy knows.Call the local cement companies and see if they will either take it or point you to who will.>>2962698Anon...Concrete has aggregate, cement does not, but is an ingredient of concrete.
>>2962565I had to get rid of a concrete walkway on my dad's place and we just set out a weekend and melted it. Sunk so far into the dirt you'd never know it'd been there.
>>2962565Just dig a hole and bury them.
