@user-lt9tx6ob8n It is the 2nd Gen Video Doorbell. If you ask because have one and you want to set it up with a new router but can't find the QR code on the back of the device, as instructed by the Ring website, I had the same issue, no QR code on mine. I had to call Ring customer services and they enabled it. Took 2 minutes.

Hi, unfortunately, I never made a schematic of the electrics, only what you can see in Part 2 I think. I have since upgraded my electronics to a Wondom amplifier with thier funcional cables pack. My power supply is now from a laptop style power brick. I no longer use the battery pack. Good luck with the build. It is very satisfying to play your music through a self built speaker.

It was possibly here [link below] but I did post a similar comment on several other videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5i0fmR9bJKaps0si=lcJ2SO-bR6bp4HFe

Indeed, it says that in the discription

The antenna outer shield will need to be connected to a ground on the controller circuit board unfortunately. You could solder a small insulated wire from the antenna shield to the battery negative where it is soldered to the circuit board.

how many dbi?

Dana Black Thank you

yes u can

did you do the project?

Thank you for the feedback. Yes I added the extra features And I made it slightly bigger than the DIYperks version as I wanted a challenge and to broaden my knowledge. Yes you are correct it is very heavy possibly close to 20 kg so not portable at all. I don’t think even the lighter DIYperks version could be considered portable in the true sense of the word only in the fact that it is battery-powered. Mine has the batteries removed now they are being used on other projects and I’m powering it with an old laptop power supply.

black flame : Hi, I can’t share the link from my AliExpress app but go to AliExpress.com and search ‘Battery Bank 18650’, there are a lot of listings for these around £0.88 each. I just priced 6 up at £9.28 delivered, assuming you are in the UK. You may find them on eBay too. Good luck with your build

@@PaulNurse1 Another question. In your build, you had used a dc jack to charge your batteries. How did you connect it And how long do the batteries last?

James Grimm : Hi, that’s a headscratcher for sure. Have you used the same components as in my build as I can’t imagine a wiring scenario that would replicate this issue in the potentiometer that I used. My potentiometer is an on/off and volume and has no functionality for balance control. Is it possible you are using a balance control potentiometer instead of a volume control.

I had the same problem. It all cleared up when I connected the two "ground" pins of the potentiometer with a v. short wire. I thought the two ground pins were connected within the potentiometer but they were not. If you have the potentiometer sitting on a table in front of you with the volume adjustment knob facing up and the pins facing towards you the pin on the left of each gang (set of three pins) is the "ground" or neutral. The other two pins in the top set are the "in" from the BT module and the "out" to the AMP for one side speaker. The lower gang is for the other side. The "ground" or neutral wire comes from the BT module and makes a connection to BOTH "ground" pins and to the "ground in" on the AMP. The bottom two pins on the potentiometer are of course for switching off the whole system when you turn the nob all the way down.

hughesie27 Motion alerts can be set on a timer if you don’t want to be disturbed or even muted. I do get a lot of alerts but I don’t mind them as I know nothing has been missed and I rarely go to the recording unless I have reason to. Most alerts are me coming and going.

But how did you make so the potentiometer was also a switch, did you wire the power input through the bottom two prongs, if so does it matter which is positive and which is negative?

Hi, Thank you for the feedback. I hope this helps so yes the potentiometer I used had a built-in switch on the bottom two contacts. I used this to switch the negative from the battery power supply to the BMS which when off completely eliminated any power draw.

Paul Nurse, just to be sure. You soldered the negative wire from the battery supply to the first contact of the potentiometer and then went from the other contact to the amp/transformer?

So when the switch is off, it stops the power draw.

Almost correct. The negative wire would normally go from the battery pack to the BMS (battery management circuit board) but I routed it through the switch so there would be no current draw when off. The amplifier takes its power from the BMS so if you put the switch wire on the BMS to the amplifier wire there would be a current drain at the BMS.

Hi thanks for the comment and yes it’s on it’s way. I’ve just done a two small test casts of the concrete, the latest with a black pigment with black basalt aggregate but I’m not entirely happy with the initial finish. But it’s on its way I’ve bought all the components so there’s no going back.

Hi, yes I was flying using my phone and it was just reaching the limits of its Wi-Fi range. I’m unsure how much further I would have had control using the controller but of course it’s out of sight by then. The mods to this great little drone are so cheap and easy to do I would encourage anyone to do it. Have fun and thanks for commenting.

My guess would be yes it should bind. I had two defective Snaptain drones fly away on me and both times the company sent me a new drone and transmitter. I now have 3 transmitters and they all bind and work with the 1 drone.

Jihadi John ... Indeed, as stated in the description - thanks to Matt from DIYPerks for the inspiration
