The Miami (PCB Vice)
I needed a new PCB Vice so jumped into Fusion 360 and thought I'd do a small video to show it off. Any feedback is much appreciated.
I've had a few requests so popped it on my web store, shipping is the killer but here it is :-)

    I ran into a similiar labelling problem while building a weather station. I ordered a BME280 which will do temperature, humidity and pressure. I ordered them from Amazon and they cam labeled with BME280/BMP280. When I got them I tried getting them to work on an ESP32 but could not get them to show humidity. I kept trying different scripts and one of the scripts detected the device and told me that I was using a BMP280. This sensor only does temperature and pressure. I ordered anohter set of sensors from a different supplier and this time I got BME280s. However, it's still labelled BME280/BMP280. I guess this is so they can design one PCB and configured it as they wish.

    @michaelward402 Před 8 měsíci

    With Solar panels you can have two different types of converters. A PCM and MPPT, whereas the latter, MPPT may be a good idea for a wind turbine, given the changing output from the turbine. This is ofc a DC converter so rectifying the turbine output and smoothing it with a large capacitors would take out some of this variance.

    Wanted to say thank you for these videos, they got me into Home assistant exactly for this temperature control feature (specially that commercial products have many limitations such as needing Hubs, only battery powered etc). It is really a shame about needing the "deep sleep" wire, this is some fine soldering I cannot do with my bad eyesight (also the ESP I have has some capacitors very close etc. I will see to feed it with a 5V charger and wall plug etc... )

    1:02 "Just a heads up, the battery you're pointing at is actually a Li-ion 18650, not a LiPo. LiPo batteries are thinner, flexible, and have higher energy density, while Li-ion 18650 batteries are cylinders with lower density. Li-ion 18650 batteries are commonly found in laptops, flashlights, and power banks, and are around 65mm long and 18mm in diameter. LiPo batteries are typically used in RC models, drones, and portable electronics, and come in various shapes and sizes depending on the application.

    @michaelloach9461 Před rokem

    Great vid, thanks Colin. I have also got a design off thingyverse But enlarged the blades by 50%. I will also design the motor housing using Fusion 360 (depending what motor I use). All I want to do is give a backup to the solar powered lights that we have. I think it just means that I have to solder the wires from the turbine to where the solar wires go onto the circuit board. Work in progress, lets wait & see. All the best....

    I have the big blue one and it's ok but it's too high off the bench when you're working on small and medium boards. Also it's mostly plastic so when you use hot air they melt. I use a cast aluminum " small press vise". Look that up online. It's very nice for small boards and hot air. Pretty good for desoldering connectors or soldering SMD components with hot air.
