  • #14 Replacing micro-usb on Raspberry Pi Zero W with USB-C

    I like having only one type of cable to power all my devices, so I'm slowly replacing most of micro-USBs with type C.

    The same procedure can be used on Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi Zero 2 w.

  • #11 Taking revenge on a scammer.

    I can't stand that these scammers take advantage of people who may be down on their luck. And since my internet service provider/email provider can't do anything about these scammers, I decided to do it myself.

    This simple script is costing the scammers some money every time it runs.

    I'm using VPN, so it should be difficult enough for them to trace these calls.

  • #10 UNreviews: Flir One Pro vs Seek CompactPRO thermal camera review and comparison.

    This is an honest review of both cameras and their usability.

    The video is not sponsored by either company.

    TL;DW: both cameras are mediocre. Seek is better suited for outdoor work, Flir is suited for indoors with lights on. Flir removed useful features from their app.

    I was actually shocked when the Flir agent openly admitted that they limited the video quality in the app on purpose!

  • #12 Update: Making USB-C deliver 5V

    After some googling and some testing I finally figured out that the lines CC1 and CC2 are shorted on these breakout boards. Severing the connection between them and adding two pull-down resistors makes it a usable 5V connector.

    You will also probably need 1206 size resistors for the reverse side: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AAAqGp

  • #9 Making USB-C deliver 5V

    UPDATE:

    I figured out the reason that one cable is not working: the usb-c connector I'm using has CC1 and CC2 lines shorted together, so you have to cut one of them off and solder its own resistor. Video update:
    https://youtu.be/_ZPFp-FdBVY

    TL;DW: cut the connection between CC1 and CC2, then add a separate 5.1k resistor to CC2.

    USB-C cables/devices are complicated. This was my attempt to simplify one aspect: how to get 5V from a usb-c cable.

    I bought these connectors on AliExpress. Out of the box they only work with USB A to USB C cables, so they require some modifications before you can use a pure USB type C cable with them.

  • #7 opolar duster teardown + microusb replacement

    This duster is very popular on Youtube and for a good reason - it's small, convenient and powerful. Here I'm doing a teardown and replacing the micro usb port with USB-C for charging.

    Caveat: it will only work with USB-A to USB-C cable since there is no pull-down resistor on the breakout board. In order for it to work with usb-c to usb-c cable you need to add 5.1k pull-down resistors on CC1 and CC2 lines.

  • #6 How to program ESP8266 board using a Raspberry Pi, Arduino or a USB adaptor.

    :::WARNING::: I just noticed I made a mistake in the connection diagram for Raspberry Pi. The 3v3 pin on the Pi should be on the top left, not 2nd from the top!

    This is a quick tutorial on programming the esp01s board using a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, USB-UART converter and a frog programmer. I've used the Blink example application (File → Examples → ESP8266 → Blink) for this tutorial.

  • #4 Cheap smart garage door opener with door sensor under $10 ($5 - $7): esp8266/ESP-01S.

    It will actually cost $5-7, you don't need a $35 Raspberry Pi or $15 Sonoff.

    Correction: the GP0 pin in the Blynk app should be 1 to 0 (instead of 0 to 1) since the relay is active low.

      2. #3 UNreviews: Uni-T UT120A pocket multimeter review and teardown

        Uni-Trend UT120A/B/C multimeters are very similar, with A being the cheapest, having least options, B has the capacitance measurement and C has capacitance + current.

        I didn't buy the B version since I already have a multimeter that can measure capacitance, and I find the need to measure it at most once every few months.
