Put it back together, and just measure it that way. No math involved so shouldn't be that hard.

Else you can see where he usually sets the size to, measure the length. And then just convert from an circumference to diamater or radius, whatever you are looking fkr

    I think this is indeed where the confusion has maybe stemmed from?

    An device can just ask for USB 1 transfer speeds over the CC pins of an USB C cable, or data pins on USB2 cable (I don't know why you would, but it can). Usb is fully backwards comparable.

    Limiting the conductors to (I think 2 in the photo), you won't have the CC wires (or even data wires in this case) and thus are limited to the default speed of that wire combination.

    There is also nothing wrong with limiting the charging speed (this would also result in a less warm and thus more happy battery). But the question is if the charging speed is enough for your use case.

    Our battery pack packs run at 16W max charging rate, which is enough to keep streaming. But the battery level won't go up on standalone. Thus is a sacrifice we are willing to make to avoid buying a new powerbank stack

    I think you got some things mixed up maybe? There is a resistor in an USB C to USB C cables but, this tells the power supply the max rating of the cable so it can respect this. This has nothing to do if both device and adapter actually agree on a higher voltage to change to.

    Also my point was that most magnet connectors only carry 2, maybe 4 connections. Which is enough for power only (2) or USB 2 data (4-5 wires), but not enough for Power Delivery.

    It can and will still charge, just at a slower speed.

    Yhea it depends on what game, Factorio runs below 15W for me, and would work. But some games drain the battery a bit more on the Deck. You can also set a power limit, but this is quite sickening on the Frame.

    If you look at you decks light when charging, you can see that is yellow (slow charging) instead of white

    You require to have the CC pins (CC1 for left and CC2 for right) to be able to use power delivery, these are the data pins that the device and adapter communicate on for highering the supplied voltage (and using power delivery).

    I do not know what magic you use to get PD working on an USB 2 cable. So please share

    I've attached a photo of the pins of an somewhat higher end magnetic cable, showing these pins are not available on an magnetic USB C cable Photo of magnetic cable

    Note that the magnet connector limits you to USB 2.0, because it does not have enough pins. This limit the charging speed at total maximum 15W* (5V 3A). This is enough to keep you streaming (around 11W usage), but not enough for standalone (19W usage or so)

    *Not all chargers can go there, your usage may vary, and it might be lower

    Steam is to convenient. I've stopped with trying to get games for cheap anywhere else. Because it's too simple to have them inside our steam library. Updates and Saves files are synced too with steam.

    As long as they do what they have been doing, this deal will just go on. And they know it.

    Let's hope the plans after Gabe's passing (if he is indeed a mortal human) is the same.

    Asuming you ment 3 wires. if the last wire is white, cut the last wire. Otherwise, if there is more than one blue wire, cut the last blue wire. Otherwise, cut the last wire.

    An nozzle of my Snapmaker U1 failed with printing and the clog ended up breaking the frail temperature sensor.

    The spare about are expected to arrive within about a month (stock runners out, and I didn't had spare parts of these because they have never broken on my old printer).

    I moved the nozzle heater and sensor from head 2 (E1) to head 1,since the left head is like a master and you can't do without apparently. I set the min_temp of [extruder1] in the printer.cfg file super low. And now it can boot up again.

    The printer runs just fine on the other nozzles now, just can not do a nozzle offset calibration and such since that requires heating the nozzles. Meaning nozzle 1 has a wrong offset (but can be used on its own), nozzle 2 is completely out, and nozzle 3 and 4 can be used for multi material printing.

    It's current printing! So no time to waste. Let us engineer and print more, and enjoy the hobby

     

    I have been on the hunt for what exact shortcut the controller hides from us. But there is a steam menu (controllers, advance, show more, at the button) that shows them!

    Quickly want to change your volume? Try steam key + left joystick!

    Sadly you can not change anything here, altought the menu shows you you can, nothing will be saved after you leave a menu. (I'm not a fan to put the left mouse button on the right button)

    A few of them I manually found before written out, also for the people without images:

    hold A + R1 + Steam
    To use Puck wireless mode right

    hold A + L1 + Steam
    Start Puck wireless mode left

    hold B + R1 + Steam Start Bluetooth mode

    When on (solid white)

    Steam+Y Turn off quickly

    Hol steam (10s) Turn off

    Steam + left joystick up/down Change volume level

    R4 + R5 + L4 + L5 + Steam Backpack mode (ignore buttons until this combo is used again or USB)

    Steam + Right trackpad/joystick Mouse movement

    Steam + X On screen keyboard

    Steam + R1 Take screenshot

    Steam + Menu ALT+TAB

    Steam + D-pad right Enter key

     

    As many of you probably know, Google does not allow you to change the buttons of their chromecast remote. We don't use Netflix at all, but we use Jellyfin. I just though of it and tested it, but Home assistant allows you to track the chromecast and functionality replace one app with another. Making the button now open the jellyfin app

    I keep having my home assistant freese when I try and activate HAV, been debugging it but didn't found anything yet to solve it.

    Buttttt...

    What I did find is an easter egg in the source code. It's "HA" in morse code. If you put that into the main button on the device it activates something :)

     

    I've already added a LED strip below the kitchen to give some ambient and status lighting (ESP32 with WS2812B). And I also already had a power plug that measured the power (Athom smart plug V2). I've now also a simple door sensor (aqara zigbee). I drilled a hole in the neighbourinf cabinet and embedded some magnet, and placed the door sensor on the dishwasher door. Our dishwasher has the feature to auto open the door when it's done to air dry it.

    This all I now have put into a automation to calculate when the dishwasher is; Planned, Running, Finisched, and now emthied too!

    No more asking if the dishwasher is going to run tonight, or if its clean. It will tell you with the LED strip!
