sweafa,

could it be that the terrifying creeper in the background is Ken Whiteley? The one Raffi is singing with on that album?

sweafa,

then you have to go with one piece again

I need a new bench power supply

Hello, I did manage to kill my cheap-ish bench supply causing it to randomly output up to like 300% the set voltage when under load which did already kill one board. Probably I didn’t actively kill it but the chinesium did its job 🤷🏻‍♂️. It was a single output supply, when needed I hooked up additional buck- or...

sweafa,

i like those triple supplies from rigol. its much like the siglent you posted, but the 3rd channel is not fixed. its also fairly easy to script it with python. dp800 series.

  • sweafa,

    exactly. why is the board damaged? looks like water ingress

    sweafa,

    pressfit connections usually are very reliable. if there is a poor connection i would presume that the barrel of the via is broken and a new pressfit connector will not help. maybe putting solder in would help. did you already test for poor connections?

    sweafa,

    yes i think so, but u would have to make sure the solder will rise through the through-hole as mich as possible. maybe u can try to find the faulty pin with wiggling them separately

    Making a USB desk fan from spare CPU fan

    If I wanted to make a USB desk fan from a spare CPU fan (input: 12V, 0.15A), could I just solder a resistor to the positive lead of the USB wire? I plan on getting an adjustable voltage booster, but I was curious if this was possible. I think I would need a 13 ohm resistor for USB 3.0.

    sweafa,

    usually fans have a min start voltage. u can try if your fan starts at 5v and if the resulting RPM is ok for you, just solder it without any resistor on USB

    sweafa,

    ah well, then it doesn’t work proper with 5v unfortunately

    Can anyone here recommend a good, simple 12v low-voltage cutoff?

    I’ve been looking for a simple low-voltage cutoff circuit for a 12v SLA battery, but many of the ones I find have reviews saying that the protection circuit itself drains the battery slowly as well. Is this just inherent in the design, where it has to draw a little to measure the voltage, or are there low-voltage cutoffs that...

    sweafa,

    i would probably do some circuit with a TL431 and FETs, but this also drains some small amount of battery current.

    sweafa,

    i assume its measured under laboratory conditions, so it seems ok to me. TCXO, OCXO should usually be operated within their operating voltage range. depends on type. usually i would assume 1.8-3.3v, but who knows without datasheet?

    sweafa,

    How many pins does it have? I can’t see it properly in the image. Is it 4, 8 or 12 pins?

    sweafa,

    unfortunately i neither could find anything. richtek has some weird packages like this:

    https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/449d3b62-5d64-4ab9-9f3d-03f1d287523e.png

    or like this:

    https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/01dc314f-7a2d-4f9f-a7cb-060fd39a9ae6.png

    so i poked around their homepage. but could not find anything with that pinning. also FMM marking is not in their marking reference :(

    sweafa,

    diodes uses packages like this one: www.diodes.com/assets/…/V-QFN2030-12-Type-HE.pdf but cant find FMM marking there …

    sweafa,

    looks very similar to that: www.ti.com/product/TPS566235

    sweafa,

    it could be worth a try to contact diodes and ask which components use or have used in the past V-QFN2030-12 (Type HE) package

    Ultra-Fine Multimeter Probes

    I've been watching a couple of YouTube videos doing component-level repair. I've noticed some of them have super fine multimeter probes, often with insulation covering most of the length of the probe. I haven't found ones like this on my usual sites, but I'm not sure if I'm just missing something. Can anyone suggest some meter...

    sweafa,

    https://sensepeek.com/ do manufactur those nice PCBite SP10 probes. New improved series: SQ10 probes. They also have 500MHz Oscilloscope probes! They are awesome :D

    Then there are those small pincers: https://at.rs-online.com/web/p/klemmprufspitzen/0775704 Or very small pincers: https://www.sks-kontakt.de/de/test-measurement/produkte/produkt?nr=9741011 (digikey lists them as manufacturer Altech Corporation)
