Thanks Judy

That's right Jimmy!

Thank you Judy!

No this only works if the drive is present at boot. Thanks.

@@ShotokuTech I have been sitting for weeks now trying to make it work whenever I plug the USB in. When I run everything manual it works great, but no service or any other method works to automate it.

@@sniper69er1 I just did a quick search and found this: www.instructables.com/Mounting-a-USB-Thumb-Drive-with-the-Raspberry-Pi/

Thanks Judy!

The story keeps on going, Judy. Thanks.

WiFi will consume more power. The idea would be to have a second Meshtastic node with you to track this device. The range of LoRa is far more than Bluetooth and WiFi. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bITVg6qfhb6Yh9E

Thanks JImmy! I like flashy things!

Thanks Judy!

You're welcome! Best wishes!

Thanks Judy!

It worked in this video and 7 others. kzbin.info/aero/PLVPBipeObwMOMnK3GHJVEZej2SqPsGD5P So I am 100% sure it works. Thanks. Best wishes.

​@@ShotokuTech Ok let me rephrase, it doesn't work. I tried following your exact example but was a little concerned about the fact that you were connecting the LED pin (a source for a mosfet) to a logic pin on a micro controller, and sure enough nothing happened when I powered up the device. Then I connected the LED pin to a net with enough power to drive multiple LED and, not shockingly, it worked. It's clearly possible that it CAN work but driving the LED (backlight) pin of a TFT display directly with a microcontroller's logic pin can lead to several potential issues: 1. Excessive Current Draw The LED backlight typically requires more current than a microcontroller's GPIO pin can safely supply. Most GPIO pins can provide only a small amount of current (usually around 20-40 mA), while the backlight might need significantly more, sometimes in the range of tens to hundreds of milliamps. If you attempt to drive the backlight directly from a GPIO pin, it could: Damage the Microcontroller: The excessive current draw can exceed the maximum current rating of the GPIO pin, potentially damaging the microcontroller. Cause Overheating: The microcontroller or the specific GPIO pin could overheat due to the excessive current, leading to malfunction or permanent damage. 2. Insufficient Brightness Even if the microcontroller doesn't get damaged, it may not be able to provide enough current to fully power the backlight, resulting in a dimly lit display or unstable operation (flickering). which btw, is kinda evident in your example. 3. Microcontroller Instability Attempting to drive a load that is too large can cause voltage drops or noise in the power supply line of the microcontroller, leading to unstable operation, resets, or erratic behavior of the microcontroller and other peripherals. Proper Approach: Connect the LED pin to the 5v rail on your esp32. The displays have a built in current limiting resistor (reference the schematics), so you don't need to worry about that. As mentioned, clearly it worked (for you at least) but it's incorrect and is likely putting undue strain on your microcontroller which can have adverse effects.

@@alkaline3mc Hello. I'm not sure I appreciate a lengthy comment that does not tell me something I don't already know. You can't drive high current devices from logic pins. I get that. I can't hold your hand if something you tried didn't work. That is the fun part of this hobby. Somewhere between the hardware and the code, your solution exists. Meanwhile, if you are going to be the wiring police of the internet I just found three instances where someone attached the backlight intensity pin to a GPIO. GPIO21: randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-tft-touchscreen-display-2-8-ili9341-arduino/ GPIO22: www.instructables.com/Play-Video-With-ESP32/ GPIO32: thesolaruniverse.wordpress.com/2021/03/01/esp32-wroom-32-and-ili9341-tft-display-an-interesting-match/ I wish you well policing the internet over ILI9341 wiring diagrams. Thanks and best wishes.

So Banana Pi is good Judy?

@@ShotokuTech Delicious

Cool, thanks!

ユリアさん、ありがとう。来てくれて嬉しいよ！🥰🚀

What antenna are you using for your window nodes?

@@ShotokuTech I'm in the UK so a 868mhz LoRa 3.0 dBi High Gain Antenna Omni-Directional Glass Fiber Indoor Outdoor LoRa Antenna SMA Interface Ultra Distance LoRaWAN Antenna

@@armisis I'm surprised that only goes a mile. I can see nodes a long way off and TRACEROUTE directly to the Mt Lemmon node that is 16 miles away. What is the transmit power that is allowed in the UK? Mine is set to 30.

@@ShotokuTech 868 Mhz variant (EUR) has a maximum TX power of 14 dBm or 25 mW

Thanks Judy! I like DJ mixing!

Thanks Judy!

Thanks Judy. Do you think AI should create content?

@@ShotokuTech I don't, but I can't stop it changing the world. AI has "stolen" many jobs from humans, but who can stop it? We're just ordinary people. They don't want to stop it, so they let us blame each other for losing jobs. ..

What should I print for you Judy?

@@ShotokuTech Candy

It records any HDMI 1080p connected to the input.

Thanks. I tried to answer your question. You may want an I2C Relay Driver for best results and power everything on the 5 volt line. Data stays at 3.3 volts. Best wishes.

@@ShotokuTech Thanks. Hopefully I can get everything working. Currently experimenting with an ESP-WROOM-32 embedded in an infosec conference badge I got 6 years ago and then largely forgot about. Backed up the (broken) firmware, flashed the latest stable release of micropython, and am trying to reverse engineer the LED controls.

@@k98killer Good luck. Best wishes.

Here is another video showing that I powered the board using the 3.3V pin. I used the M5Stack supplied ESP32 downloader that is pin for pin connection to that side of the Stamp. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYe2lHmgeLqhhq8si=vkUR_oSHhyTlcBF8

Me too Judy!

Thanks Jimmy! We won't go down easily!

Thanks Judy!

Because you asked, I switched it on at 5am this morning. It's 3pm now and the battery is at 65%, 3.85V.

:) Judy!

@@ShotokuTech

Thanks Judy. It was my own arrangement, I like it too. Thanks.

Cool! The Mesh has grown quickly sine I made the video. There are usually 30-40 nodes online in Tucson now. Best wishes!

Thanks! Best wishes.

You raise a lot of good points! Thanks. Best wishes.

Thanks Judy. It is!

Thanks Judy!

Thanks! Best wishes.

The assumption is there are one or more gateways is my understanding. Thanks.

@@ShotokuTech Thanks for your replay. So basically, this tracker will not track and locate without the gateways.

@@tracetrace-qv5ky Correct. The tracker only has LoRa, WiFi, BT. No connection to the internet. They are coming out with a Meshtastic version. That would be a less expensive gateway than this SenseCAP gateway. It would remove the need for internet altogether.

Thanks! Best wishes.

Thanks Judy!

That sounds like a new problem that is not in the scope of this video. If Hyper-V server is in an AD domain, the client most likely needs to be in the domain. Best wishes.

Yes! Thanks. It's in all the sketches. But I had my suspicions. Thanks for the information.

Thanks Judy. The payload failed. But the camera worked fine.

Hello. I am using RSYNC to copy volume to volume, not share to share. I have never used the recursive parameter. RSYNC just makes one volume the same as the other on an overall basis. Thanks.

Thank you for your comment. I agree that prompting is the act of intelligence, 100%! Whether you are asking CoPilot to draw you a picture or searching Bing for some powershell snippet, the prompt is what matters most. Yeah, for content creation, I don't think I will watch AI generated content. Thanks. Best wishes.

Thanks Judy! It was interesting.

Thanks Auriel! You definitely get it as a visual artist. I feel the same as someone who works to make videos that have a lot of thought behind them and convey something new for my audience to benefit from. AI just tramples all over that. AI should not be relied upon to create, only to refine. Let's amplify humanity!

I like technology. But we need to reserve the right to pull the plug on it with a moments notice! Thanks. Best wishes.
