I got an arduino kit a year ago for free on a raffle, it's an Arduino UNO with a bunch of components, it's been sitting inside my wardrobe for a year because i don't know what the fuck to do with it.Any sugestions on something cool i can make? I have a 3D printer as well.Doesn't need to have a practical purpose, it can be just for fun...
Piano buzzard
>>2972253You can make an arcade cabinet with one of those and run a bunch of emulators on it.
>>2972253sell it before people realize it is obsolete (bought by a big brand unlikely to find it commercially viable)or save for the next generations of troons to gawk over in a 'retro unboxing' 3d video
I went through a spell a few years ago when I was getting into flight simulator. You could make some control panels with them. I didn't have a 3d printer though so I made all the faceplates by hand. The throttle quadrant in the middle has slider pots with their levers sticking into a drilled hole in the dowels. It uses a joystick library so the game recognizes it as a controller. The other two panels require fsuipc and mobiflight to interface with the game. Really fun way to learn about this stuff. I've been wanting to rebuild them I've just been too busy with other things lately.
>>2972253so basically you write and upload a c program and it will do what you program it to doi use mine to drive analog dials.
or "whore stories" if you have any.butt mostly "deals gone bad" and how RE Agents fucked someone, or you, and how The Process generally sucks ass and should be fed into a wood chipper.I need these examples, and I figure this is best place even though not technically DIY, I'm doing a project that needs this info from mostly a DIY friendly perspective, not a Trophy Wife perspective.Thx in advance, when my Project's true nature reveals itself you will like it.Bascially, right now, I need examples to show a few people how the existing "Process" needs to mostly end and be replaced with new regime.
>>2975528Make them an offer. They can't refuse. :)I used to work on houses of well known billionaire.One house was next to his wife's BFF. It was obvious it wasn't on the market when they bought it. Rat nest in garage, dry rot behind bushes, rusty gutters, etc, in a multi-million 'hood.Some people are so rich they don't look at prices, even of historic McMansions in hot markets.Then you got the type that don't care if its currently for sale or not.Old owners moved into bigger fancy newer house across and couple houses down.But seriously, I guess I'd start by finding out WTF is in target house, and making them an offer about 20% over market and even say why. I'd do it yourself to avoid having an Agent do something dumb and creep them out.50% chance they are THINKING about selling, soon, and if they see you as their best shot and getting top price with no fuss they'd be nuts not to.

I’m putting together a tent sauna, but my current settup won’t go above 125F. It’s a Morzh tent, and I’m trying to reuse my US stove caribou 18 stove, but even though with the rocks the steam is nice, its heat is inadequate. It’s honestly inadequate for my 9x13ft canvas tent in the winter also, so I was wondering if any of you have ever used a larger hot tent stove in a sauna (like a winnerwell nomad stove). It looks like I might need to get two purposes built stoves, one for long steady burns in the tent, and another for fast intense burns in the sauna. Though obviously if I can avoid the added expense of a second stove it would be nice. Else, maybe some tips for getting a hotter fire? I’m just burning fir I cut last spring.
>>2971391My tent sauna only goes up to 85 F still gives me a good sweat though.
>>2971578a lot of effort to sit in a uncomfortably hot tent with other naked dudes
>>2974575forgot pic
>>2974950Demonic picture.
>>2971391Put a second larger tarp on top of the tent. Try to leave a little space between the two layers. Instant double walled insulation and it will hold heat a hell of a lot better.
Did he really deserve all the hate?
Trying to print “Benchy the Boat”. Can I get any pointers? It’s PLA filament
>>2970103Printer will work better if it's not on its side.
>>2973580Bambu glue is mostly to protect that PEI sheet, o that’s why you see idiots going PETG ruined my build plate I’m out $50! Posts because they don’t understand that if you print too hot and too close with even PLA you can damage that build sheet But nah it must be that those guys printing for over a decade can’t level a bed as good as a guy that bought his first Bambu a week ago!!!
>>2970350O kekola
>>2974685glue is for the smooth plate not textured one that op uses
>>2974643To be fair, if it's square tile the orientation doesn't matter much.
so there is this room is next to mine, and my dad welds and polishes metal in it. We polish metal all day long, and I recently bought bottled water, and after leaving it in my room for a day or two, it had a strange, metallic taste when I drank it again. Do you think it could be lead dust from what we were polishing?I also weld and polish, and lately I feel nauseous when I eat.
>>2974050
>>2974046Have you tried not being a wuss?
>>2974046you are your father's diy and your purpose is to die from lead polishing dust. there's nothing we can do about it, in fact we're impressed by his feat as fellow diy enthusiasts
>>2974046>lead dust from what we were polishinglol
>>2974046Im from a territory of former Yugoslavia, a place that decided to have its own engineering standards based on german, imperial russian and newly founded american standardsThe metalic shit one tastes is literal metal flakes on microscopic levels, they get injected into every human body and soul that walks thereThe standard obligation for such workers, mainly those that do precision grinding, was and still somewhat is, drink a glass or 2 of milk during break timeMilk has something in it that makes it easier for the human body to eject metal flakes troughout skin, asshole or breath, or all 3 at the same timeIm not talking normal store bought milk, im talking yeee oldeee amish type heavy milk, cow, goat, sheep, whatever2 glasses of milk and have your dad stop at 60 years of ageAfter that there are no guarantees
how nuts would I be to buy a POS like this?Never worked on any RV shit, but I'm an old carpenter and have done all my own auto-repair.I hear nothing but horror stories about new RVs, no matter how much they cost.or thishttps://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/rvs/d/milpitas-1995-coachman-rv/7909649068.html
They're total sacks of shit. Depending on the brand I'm sure you can get one that's mechanically reliable but the rest of it is pure garbage. Heard nothing but horror stories from owners. Coworker had three of them, two new and they all have the same problems some kind of way. Even worse some of them are made with no foresight for how certain stuff is layed out. One of his, shit tank is way in the back and is so close to the ground it got gouged by a curb backing it up and dropped however many gallons of piss all over the Walmart parking lot. Other two had a combo of bad roofs and bad floors from the water damage. All your accessories and appliances are going to be pretty low quality and if they're decent odds are good the manufacturer has managed to fuck up access and plumbing if they ever need repairs.>>2972833Box truck could work especially if it has double doors on the back and not a roll up. Seen a couple site offices built out of 55ft trailers that had a wall and regular door set behind the trailer door. Would be a fair bit of work to insulate and they command a price as work vehicles but that'd be how I'd do it.
OP here, thx guys.main prob with Box Truck is hopping in and out.they are build for backing up to 3' high dock, or lift gate, or long ramp. Side house door with steps could work.I think I'll look for box-van with walk through from box to cab, and maybe DIY a side door and steps.
OP here, how about this POS?my BIL used to drive for Fed Ex, maybe he'd be able to tell me if its a loser.https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/d/south-san-francisco-2001-international/7913459762.htmlI fig at least Fed Ex wont be buying garbage that leaks, etc.I did once test drive an old bread truck 4sp. Pretty much screaming at 55mph in 4th. Guy even told me, "That ain't the clutch slipping, that is just how they are geared".
>>2972306Do u think that satellite is still operational?
>>2975472Fucking hate assholes like that poster that spam all of their listings with keywords. Someone searches for a Honda Civic and that truck shows up in the results. Nice. If you buy the thing, kick him in the nuts before you drive off.
Bubba fills water meter hole with concrete to stop Water Co. from turning off woman's water. :)This guy has a whole bunch of similar Robin Hood type vids.
>>2972146Love this goofy xer hick
>>2972453on the internet no one can tell you are only pretending to be retarded. if you act/do retarded you are retarded.
>>2972453>take time to investigate this screenshot of this shitpost and reverse image search and watch this random YouTube channelMany people find better use of their time.
>>2972728like what? falling for retarded shit?
>>2972183He might be, but everyone knows someone just as dumb is this.
Who is the true king od the middle shelf?
>>2970993Bosch pro
>>2970980Ryobi and Bosch are the only name from that list that I own power tools from.Stanley I have a couple tape measures and an old set of screwdrivers.
>>2970980ryobi is bottom of the bottom shelf my dude
>>2973031>Adds another segment to its range>diy>pro>expertBosch used to be great but they went full jew in their crusade to get as much money as possible from their customers to compensate for the downfall brought upon them by the German loss of cheap eastern energy.
>>2970980Been using the same ryobi impact, drill, and circ saw since 2014. They look like shit, but i cant seem to kill them.All my batteries still work as well, but im using only 4ah batteries.Fucked up my jigsaw by "pushing" it. Had a stapler that the staple drawer always popped open and could not get the bitch to work right no matter what I tried.Brad nailer is fantastic.Rolling wetvac is super nice.Overall love ryobi.
A cordless 6.5" and corded 10.25" circular saw is the perfect, do-everything circular saw setup. Better than any 7.25" plus anything or those long 4.5" saws.
Go big or go home. Only one you need.
>>2969670>blade left, but you know I'm right
>>2969462>SidewidersThat's like a baby's toy!
>>2969462I kind of want a 10-1/4. I have 16-5/16 but I don't like hauling it out of the shop.

Solve an argument I'm having with my wife: Old bucket of paint, has been sitting for a few weeks. Is this mold, or paint separation?
There is mold but it's fine. It will get painted over.
Looks like separation if paint water-based & tinted. Can probably sat unused for a month or more. Take it back to where you got it and have them run it thru the shaker again.

>>2971514post wife for proper evaluation
>>2972925Can you repeat the question?
Hi /diy/, I'm in between jobs right now and lately I've been collecting broken appliances from the curb and checking the dumpsters around my local apartments too. I've taken apart a few microwaves and resold a couple working mini-fridges. It's not a ton of money but it keeps me busy. Any other scrap collectors?
>>2975279Neat. But who’s buying graphite (carbon)?
>>2975279Burning batteries and inhaling the toxic smoke isn’t “scrapping.”
>>2975312>New slang for burning batteries and inhaling the smoke>Scrapping
>>2975284i needed it for myself>>2975312didn't burn the whole thing just the partly crushed carbon rod in the center since i need it for a high temp application it defeats the purpose

Post all about /diy/ robotics, robowaifus, kits, hardware, careers, ideas, etc.
>>2974781you don't even belong in robotics thread, get off your high horse
>>2974782blah blah blahyou're boring me with your seething. nothing worthwhile to engage with.
>>2974689The idea I had in mind would be more to start with a new project altogether. Ditch the Roomba (or just keep it to actually clean the house), and then slowly build everything part by part (arms, legs, hand, etc.)Something as simple as the classic inverted pendulum problem seen in Control Theory textbooks seems like a good way to get started on thinking about how to keep an object upright. After mastering that, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch of the imagination to start thinking about how to implement that with two joints, and eventually work up to having a pair of fully functioning robotic legs that are capable of keeping a body upright while walking.I know that there have been many other people who've made humanoid robots in the past, but I still think it'd be fun to see somebody actually making a robot here on 4chan. And who knows? Maybe one of the gooners here on 4chan might eventually be able to fuel their dreams for robowaifus so they can actually quit their minimum wage jobs at warehouses or NEETing in their parents' basement and eventually work on robotic implants for children who had to undergo amputations or something of that sort.For me, any reason for learning and creating stuff is good, especially if it can eventually help improve people's lives.
>>2974854The robowaifu herself can improve people's lives for the better.
>>2973818cute!
Not all the time, but I keep getting random loads, especially whites, where the clothes come out the dryer with 1-2 splatters of small black spots. I have a top loader washer and a dryer. The dryer is starting to squeak during use. Could this be bearing grease? I don't think it's mold as I've left wet paper towels in the area and they don't get moldy after a day. If it is bearing grease, is it fixable or do I have to buy new units?
>>2971697Do you have a pic of the spots on your clothes?
>>2971717
>>2971775To add to this, I am 99% sure it's oil or grease blobs. I washed a large white sheet (as seen in the pic) and touched one of them and smudged it and it caused a line.
I have had this with my washing machine. Never did figure it out.
>>2971775those are lint knots/piles child, theyre just little knots of stray hair or loose threads that cling together during a cycle

>>2971300>I've got hives hard up against a brick wall>under a low hanging tree>multiple hives in rows with only enough space to stand between them for inspections. >The bees don't careThat's excellent news for me, thanks for your post. I exactly wanted to put a hive either under a low tree or against a wall. I'm going to start with one hive. I found a kit on amazon for about $150, do you think that's a good starter kit? If not, could you suggest one please? Thanks.
>>2971468I doubt you can get everything you need that cheaply. Pic related is the minimum amount of gear I'd recommend to start with. You'll want 2 boxes so you've got a spare ready to go when the bees need it. Would also recommend a full length suit instead of a head-only veil, until you know the temperament of your bees (they're all different) Also if your arm is like that pic you're going to have a hard time lifting a full box of honey frames that can weigh 75lbs...

I have barely had bees for a year. I'm worried about the colony getting too big and bothering the neighbors. My three stack is only about half full of comb but I wonder if I can make the colony smaller by removing some of the comb. Will the excess workers just fuck off?
