Anyone ever found uses for these motors found in cd/dvd drives and disk readers? I`ve managed to find purpose for the steppers and regular dc ones but the cd spinning bldcs seem useless, I see no way of attaching anything to them

So I inherrited a house from my grandfather. The tile floors are from the 50s and falling apart. I want to put in plywood flooring and paint it myself. Sorta like this. The floor underneath is concrete. I realize I gotta put a subfloor. How thin can I make it? Also how thick or thin should I make the floor itself. I live in socal and ive seen it in houses before here and they've never had any problems.

I'm replacing a broken hinge in my laptop. The brass nuts on the screw are what gripped to the plastic of the lid, but they almost all sheared off.
I have hot glue and superglue at my disposal to reattach the brass bits to the plastic, which is better in terms of torsion resistance (so it won't just snap off while I put the screw back in) and ability to bond metal to plastic?

Ex laptop field tech here, that is basically one of the most mechanically stressed components in the entire device, I have seen dozens of broken backshells and attempts to repair them, none held for more than 10 cycles. Plastic cement would be the best option, it melts the facing surfaces and cures them together, but again, it will be a short term fix. Go buy a backshell off ebay for $20 and save yourself the hassle.

Why do you think I posted it here and not /ohm/? Remember- I work backwards. I buy the tools, then I take shit apart and break it, then I learn a little bit, and then I have a 50/50 chance of fixing it the next time.

12V-3A has lots of mosfets and those coils in there, 5V-0.5A doesn’t. Cable signal booster has all sorts of those little windings too.

Trying to wrap my head around a coulumb. I keep going back to the water analogy because I’m great with physical-tangible stuff but it takes me a minute to understand stuff I can’t see. This is why I went into mechanical engineering (and subsequently gave up on it because too many nerds).

How hard is it to change oil in a car?
I've never done it, always paid to have it done. I have a new car and don't want to fuck it up by doing my own oil change, but it doesn't seem that hard to do. My one concern is that I won't tighten the drain plug enough and it'll fall out, all the oil will drain out, and engine will seize.
How hard do you tighten your drain plug? What do you use?

I want to build table-harness contraption that can support a laptop and some dj hardware. Nothing too serious, at most 15-20 pounds of gear.

Right now I essentially have a solid plank of wood doing the job. It's extremely sturdy but also extremely heavy. Not ideal for wandering convention spaces all day.

What can I do to make a better version of it? I've considered just drilling a bunch of the wood out but that would compromise strength.

I've also considered getting some balsa or plywood and reinforcing it with wood on the bottom.

My biggest limitation is I have a power drill. Nothing more. No saws, no planes, nothing. I can't afford them either.

If I can't improve the design additively, so be it, I'll deal. But if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

you need a torque wrench my friend.
very simple job great to start with if you want to keep your car running yourself. if you don't have a lift or pit then get some ramps ideally unless you are confident enough no to get crushed under a car on jack stands. don't just leave it on the jack you need stands. some guys put the wheel under i think thats retarded but to each his own, i'm fat enough it would hit me before the wheel.
do you have a service manual? you should get whatever your equivalent of a haynes manual is, or if you can get a pirate copy of the actual software the dealership uses thats fucking awesome....

to answer your question how tight depends on exactly what car.

dont forget to change the oil filter when you change the oil! when you are done turn the engine on and let it idel a few seconds, watch for the oil light going out as it should and any puddles forming under the car.

real important top tip: when you are refilling and checking the dipstick don't rely on the dipstick level when the car is jacked up at the front!!!

top is brown green black brown brown -> 1 5 0 0 ? possibly 4 is red so 15k if thats what you have

bottom two are interesting because they are obviously similar and actually one way could be
red red black black -> 220
and the other way could be
brown black black brown -> 1000 (1K)

i'll take a punt and say middle looks more red on the left but the picture is shit

>how do u know what direction to read a resister at?
4 band is hard because the precision is often brown, 3 band is easier because its usually gold which is very unusual colour for the first three bands. normally you identify them by looking at the bag they come in when you order them and file them away in the correct place and don't fucking muddle them up. thats how you know.

Depends on the car. Gm uses lead thread plugs and strip out randomly. Worst case scenario you drive to the dealer with the vin number and get a new plug.
Get the car hot before you change the oil and loosen all the sludge. Change the oil over a blanket or water heater box. Replace the filter too. Sometimes that’s the hardest part. I have 4 old trucks and oil change all the time. Don’t worry about overtightening a new plug. 3/8 ratchet is fine. I clean it, drive it around 5 miles and recheck it.

It’s easy, but it’s not really worth the effort if you’re trying to save money. The shops offering $20-$30 oil changes are losing money on them so they can sell you other shit while you’re in there.

You don’t need a torque wrench if you aren’t retarded, but considering you can buy them at Harbor Freight for <$15, it’s not a bad thing to have. And depends on the car. My car is easy as hell since I don’t even need to jack it up to get to the drain plug and filter. When I do my mom’s Jeep, it’s kind of a pain because there are these skid panels under the engine so you need to jack the thing up and get all the way under there to reach the drain plug. And you need to lean into the engine bay to get the filter and then the oil goes down this oil water slide contraption to drain and it always drips off the side somewhere.

Anyway it’s a good place to start working on cars and it feels good to do something yourself and know it was done right. And you can get good synthetic oil for the same price you would pay for basic stuff at the Jiffy Muffler.

Pic related is all you need besides oil+filter if you can get to the stuff without a jack. Newports are critical to the operation so don’t forget to buy a pack from AutoZone.

regular insurance might cover that, since it is surgery. If it is medically necessary. you have a few days to sign up for obamacare. Monday morning bright and early, I'd look at the plans available. Call the companies, and find out if an infected molar qualifies.

If you are literally too poor to afford Obamacare ( and remember there are MASSIVE fucking subsidies for low income, so don't be freaked out by prices ) look up medicaid options.

Last result is go to ER when it gets horrible and you are probably going to die of blood poisoning or something. Run up $20,000 bill you'll never pay, but at least you are a live.

I didn't mean to discourage you - you should definitely try it. open an account, list a few things, see what happens. selling online is a learning experience, and it's weird when you find a niche. like maybe what sells well isn't what you think. And you'll try new things, and some will work, and some won't. Keep shipping in mind, etsy fees, etc. maybe take a few to local antique / craft shops and see if you can sell there on commission.

to get those kind of prices you need to be selling to tourists or some shit. like in your little shack downtown or whatever.

Do some competative research - see what sells online, and see what can make you different.

For example - I see a lot of these rustic things - but I don't see any "cutesy girl" horseshoe stuff. lots of girls LOVE fucking horses. that might be an area to check out - pay a bit for advertising ( mom is the target here as well ).

No, it's appreciated. Shipping would be a pain and Etsy takes 5%. I didn't know they were being sold for $6+/- on Etsy, so that's good info. I'd be better off consigning them locally or finding a sales avenue.

I've spent a lot of clinical hours in the ER. If you aren't dying, they'll give you a Novocaine soaked cotton ball and tell you to follow up with a dentist.
I suggest getting fish antibiotics, then get good and liquored up with a friend with piers, or tie a string around it and slam a door.

Planning to make a doghouse out of plywood, 2x2's, & 2x4s (as soon as I nut up & buy the wood). Anyone have any advice? I've never done a project like this before. Playing with the idea of insulating the walls but I dont know if its overkill; it rarely gets below 30F in my area.

i would insulate it. it'll keep the temp inside it a few degrees warmer, it'll be a touch more comfortable for the dog. but depending on the breed, if you have a husky or a malamute, fuck the insulation those motherfuckers love to sleep in snow lol. pick up a book on "How To Build A Garage" and essentially copy the same idea but smaller. tons of youtube videos on that kinda stuff, probably even for doghouses specifically. http://gen.lib.rus.ec for books

If the studs are 3-1/2" and the insulation is marked R-13 or R-15, you've got all you can get.
Forcing R-19 or R-21 in there won't improve it because part of the R factor is based on density / depth of cavity.

I'm gonna venture a guess. If standing directly on the north pole, east and west are no longer applicable directions and no matter where the wind is coming from (for example from china's direction vs Americas direction) it is always coming from the south... Opposite for the south pole.

Oh for sure. Does the flashlight have a USB port to recharge it? And if you do a “Protected” cell, make sure it will fit in the light because they are normally a tiny bit larger than the unprotected cells. If there is no USB port on the flashlight, I think you may want “Protected” cells assuming they fit. And in that case you would also need to buy a battery charger, or be an idiot like me and charge the battery with a hacked up cell phone charger.

Never owned one of those Zebralights. The one flashlight I own that is made to only use 18650 batteries has a USB charging port and came with a battery installed so all I have to do is plug in the Micro USB cable. And the other lights I have can accept 3x AAAs or 1x 18650, but I have to take the batteries out to recharge them. They’re unprotected which means on those lights I have to make sure I don’t run the batteries too low (this kills Li-Ions) and then I have to check the voltage as I charge them.

Not that guy but think of a guitar string. When tuning the guitar all you're actually doing is tightening or loosening the string. Tighter makes a higher pitch, looser makes a deeper pitch. Human ears aren't that great at hearing a pitch correctly so maybe that anon knows of an app for it, I imagine guitar tuner is a thing.
From there, just get them all at the same pitch and you've got uniformly tight cables or whatever.

You may have to pry in several places around the cap to keep it coming up somewhat straight.
Once it's up, a screwdriver removes the screw holding the handle on.
Pull up and wiggle the handle to remove it.
If you can't get it off by just pulling, you may need a faucet handle puller.

Then if you want to just more fast when the BPM goes up use a mic and try and filter the BPM.
If you want to represent the song progression use a USB cable (or some other way of interfacing with the Arduino).
Have some code transmit the song length to the Arduino (for example a python script sending an integer via serial connection).
Calculate how fast the servo with the watchface needs to move and use the inbuilt crystal timer functions. They are not perfect but for something like songs they will be almost perfect.

If you have patterns and cloth, just look up some basic sewing skills and cut them.
If you don't have patterns make your own, apart from the hair and facial features those are rather basic shapes.
I'm not too sure if that's what you are asking, I've never seen those. If not just ignore this.

how do you deal with a part-time contractor boss ducking paying you? there's a guy i work with who i do some basic shit for every once in a while, and he'll pay me at the end of the week consistently when there's more work to be done. but when the work gets light and he won't need me for a while, he'll do the "i'll pay you next time we meet up" and then no calls for a month or so.

well he needs me this week and no mention of the lapsed payment. the first time it happened, i let it go because he didn't owe me much. this time, it's a week worth of work that he was going to give me, but seems to have forgotten.

Ask him for it a few times. If he doesn't pay in a month or 2 swipe some power tools of equal value and hide them NOT AT YOUR HOUSE and let him know he can have them back the second you get paid.

Dont be a dick and take anything sentimental like his grandfathers hammer or some shit.

And nothing that will cause him to go umder or take a loss on the job.

You need to know your devices current consumption under maximum load and how long you would like it to run between charges. You then plug that into C = xT, where C is amp hours, x is device draw, and T is time in hours.

C = 400mA x 12 = 4.8Ah required to run for 12 hours.

There's also shit like discharge depth ( most batteries don't like going below 20% capacity) and discharge rate (most batteries don't like having massive load all the time) to consider, see https://www.powerstream.com/battery-capacity-calculations.htm, come visit us in /ohm/ if you need help.

If the bearing spins freely, you're probably not doing anything wrong.
Pine is soft (unless old heartwood yellow pine) and just the pressure rolling across it may leave a mark.
If you're going the 'right' direction, the router will pull itself toward the work adding to the pressure you're giving.

Gee, generally handles are hand-sized, sp not more than a few inches in length and a few inches in depth. It is for a very specific application, but the general idea is to lift/carry an object that is roughly 30 lbs. I have 300 such objects which need 2 handles per object, so 600 handles total. The handles need to attach to the sides of this rectangular object and cannot protrude to the sides, only vertically up, as in the image. I have designed such a handle, but I would rather find an off-the-shelf item, rather than having a local machine shop make these handles. My searches on the internet and McMaster have only returned cabinet-like handles, or handles that have an attachment perpendicular to the direction of pull.

I've done some screen with frame replacements before, now I wanted to learn how to do it without the frame since in many models it's faster.
What should I use? B7000 glue? 3M tape? Something else? It needs to be
-strong
-possible to remove (if another screen gets destroyed)
-preferably as water resistant as original screen (it wasn't waterproof before, just splash resistant as every screen out there, I'm wandering if 3M tape won't be worse then glue when it comes to this).
I'm asking since my friend went to repair shop, they used the wrong thing and his screen started to detach, so I'm not 100% comfortable to go with B7000 as all those YT pajeets as it seems that repair shops don't know their shit.

The problem with these motors is that over the years of iteration and optimization, they have been fine tuned to one purpose.

Which is a longwinded way of saying that unless you want to build a CD drive, you're probably better of throwing them in the scrap bin.

I know this isn't o but I'm going to be doing the repairs my self if anything, I've got a mid 2000's beater that runs okay but rumbles at higher speed but only while accelerating. Rumbling is proportional to the speed of acceleration, slowly speeding up produces almost no shaking but flooring it makes some noise. I don't plan to keep the car forever but I'll spend some to keep it going for another few years, where should I begin ?

Why exactly does he put the resistor in there again?

And that’s kinda what I figured, you wouldn’t need too many Li-Ions to jump it once or twice. Some of these little 500CCA+ battery jumper packs are fucking tiny. Get some good cells with a high discharge current, hook it up for 30sec, and I bet you could get going with half a dozen 18650s. My 50cc scoot could probably get going on 3-4 cells.

It looks like AC input on left side. The coil windings are inductors to filter out high frequencies (noise) and pass through low frequencies (~120v 60Hz AC). Next is the BIG capacitor, probably to ground which serves to filter more high frequencies (noise) out of the AC power signal. Then the clean high voltage AC goes into the big yellow Transformer, and is reduced to a lower AC voltage. The mosfets next to the transformer then take the low voltage AC signal and rectify it into DC. Finally, the smaller capacitors at the end continue to filter out high frequency noise and provide a small storage of DC power effectively smoothing out fluctuations of power from the transformer/rectifier combo.

As to where to touch, depending on voltage, typically your lower voltage DC after the mosfets should hurt the least.

And ol’ Beppu is right. You’re useless.

If anybody actually knows the answer to this very basic and dumb question, then once again, what was the purpose of the resistor versus just measuring the current without it?

>what was the purpose of the resistor versus just measuring the current without it?

It's ok to use a multimeter to measure amps, but sooner or later you blow the fuse. If you use a series resistor and measure the voltage, there is no fuse involved, you just have to select a low enough resistor so that it does not affect your circuit but has a large enough voltage to read accurately.

think about ohm's law until it is second nature: V = I x R

This. I don't even consider buying pre glued shit for turning, I always glue up my own stock. If someone gives me something that's been glued already, I'll cut it apart and glue it back together myself. Not taking any chances when you've got wood spinning at a few thousand rpm.

I bought an LED bulb for my fridge, wanted to eliminate the old incandescent one in there, assumed it heats up the inside and draws more power, wasting even more electricity.

The replacement was a breeze, BUT the LED stays lit even when I close the door, though it does get a lot more dim when I do.

Am I right assuming that the socket is just receiving some bleeding current for whatever reason and probably was doing so before, it just wasn't enough to light up the incandescent bulb visibly (since it needs a lot more to start glowing)?

If so, that would mean the LED isn't wasting "extra" power with the door closed and is still saving power in total, but that raises another stupid question from me. Isn't it dangerous or harmful for the bulb? After all, it's effectively dimming a led light, which all of them, unless you pay a lot extra, say you can't do (not suitable for dimmers and all that).

Those pipes were connected at one time.
It's 1-1/2" pvc drain tubing (assuming it's under the kitchen sink)
The nuts loosen from the T part so the tubing can slide into the fitting.
When they are completely apart as in your pic you'll need to remove the nut where they are separated and slide it onto the tube. When you remove the nut you'll find a compression washer (a beveled plastic ring) under the nut. Place the compression nut on the tubing after placing the nut on the tubing. The beveled edge goes toward the T fitting.
Loosen all the other nuts below that one 1/4 turn so they will allow the assembly to flex. It needs to flex all the way back to the wall. Cradle all of it in your hand while sliding the T back onto the tube that's out. Tighten all the nuts firmly and you should be okay.

Don't forget to check for leaks after you finish.

The idea is that stray voltage can damage electronics. If you have the ground clamp right next to where you're welding, it shouldn't be a problem. If that's not practical, or you want to be cautious, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. Disconnecting the ground terminal wouldn't help, but it wouldn't hurt. Also, avoid TIG with a high-frequency start or arc stabilization, which can do weird things.

Check your owner's manual for the oil weight (IE 5W30) your engine needs and google what kind of oil filter you need. Oil is half as expensive on Amazon as AutoZone. Drain old oil out into catch can, torque drain plug to spec (google your car's oil drain torque, and learn to use torque wrench). Take old oil filter out, put new filter in, add new oil. Done.

As others mentioned, it's more cost effective to get the cavemen at the oil change shop to do it for $25, but those assholes always come back and tell you to spend $900 fixing Bullshit A you didn't ask them to fix, or Bullshit B that's "preventative maintenance". Plus, you have the added perk of actually being under you car and looking at things yourself.

cleaning and sanding is fine, just don't leave soap residue. If there is any bare metal I'd prime it with oil or alkyd based primer, both of which can be top-coated with latex paint.

and as always, if it's white paint, a shot of black will help it cover, even if the door looks fine already.

Already asked on the "new" thread but didn't get a response so might as well ask here too.
I need a zhu zhu pet's microcontroller for a personal project. I found a zhu zhu pet breakdown article on Nuts & Volts, but it seems to be a different model than mine - there was no speaker, there were buttons on the front and back of the body and the blob of acrylic was much thinner. The article insisted it's an IC under that acrylic but when I melted it down last night I just found a ruined COB.
Is the blob in this picture hiding an IC? Is it even possible to know at a glance?
If he guy was lying and didn't remove the IC himself and all zhu zhus have COBs, is there a way to remove and repurpose them anyway?

Also here's the article in case that's relevant:

what is a COB? I've always read that the black blobs cover ICs but I've never heard of someone digging one out to use on another project, but you might be able to.

Circuit On Board. I just read about them yesterday, so I'm still really new to the idea but I guess it uses the blob as a lid instead of just as a hiding place, so popping it open kills it.
I ordered some bulk zhu zhus online last night. Mine was a first-gen, maybe the newer ones have a real IC though I'm not sure why they'd make that change since I'm pretty sure COBs are cheaper and safer from removal.

Also dogs are weird. I bet if I put a car in my mean old chihuahua's favorite toy she'd just panic and hide. Ah well.

Disregard this post, I'm stupid.
The COB contains an IC, just not in its usual packaging. If I want to steal a COB, I'll have to cut the whole chunk of chip out and solder tiny wires to the pins sticking out from underneath the thing, which sounds like hell. I'm gonna try anyway because I've got nothing else going on but god damn.
