Bauer 20V Power Tools Battery Interface
Thu, 12 Jun 2025 18:06:23 +0000

The TH terminal is an RTD-like connection with the charger for battery temp sensing was the answer I got. Makes sense. These are not old school batteries. Not even Ni-Cd. The headaches with ni CD batteries and their lazy ass voltage memory that seems to always become an emerging issue at the wrong time. Thank you for your attention, I expect this is as deep into battery hocus pocus helped with clarity.
Be well, good luck and opportunity watching your back.

Hyper Tough 20V MAX Power Tools Battery Interface
Fri, 30 May 2025 10:01:08 +0000

Confirmed that the 'T' terminal on the tool just expects a ~10K Ohm resistor to ground to enable one of the newer 20V Max tools (e.g. the 3" cutoff tool) to start. If the printed adapters don't include this and just connect the 18/20V power to the +/- pins, some tools won't work.

The low-end charger also just puts +21V to the charge pin and ground. No comms at all. The cheap charger just monitors current flow, and if there is more than a few mA, the LED changes to red to indicate charging. Charging/balancing is controlled in the battery.

Meshtastic Client Power Consumption
Tue, 06 May 2025 07:14:54 +0000

The 1200 mAh radio went into sleep mode, due to low battery. The last reading from another radio was around 8:52 PM with 20% battery power. So the 1200 mAh radio lasted just shy of 12 hours.

The 4000 mAh radio still has 80% power at 10:52 PM.

rsync with server on non-standard SSH port
Mon, 20 Jan 2025 23:29:03 +0000

Indeed,
I am writing this in January 2025. The proposed solution works - and it is still not in the rsync 3.1.3 -h.

Duralast Gold vs. Duralast
Sun, 05 Jan 2025 12:05:57 +0000

From the specification above, I really don't seem much of a difference. The Duralast Gold is heavier. Seems like the major difference is the shim material. The Duralast is RSR, which stands for Rubber Steel Rubber. The Duralast Gold is "multi-layer". Isn't RSR also multi-layer? From the photos, the Duralast Gold shim looks metal. So I'm not sure how it is multi-layer.

Maybe I need to pick up both set to compare the difference physically.

New Spanned Volume... The operation is not supported by the object
Tue, 10 Dec 2024 07:30:01 +0000

Ok. I read online that "Dynamic Disk" has been deprecated on Windows. Now, you have to use "Storage Spaces" in "Control Panel".

Microsoft could have put in that error message into "Disk Management". Jeez... I spent hours messing around in "Disk Management".

Charge Hart Batteries on Different Chargers
Mon, 02 Dec 2024 18:42:29 +0000

Hi Synthya,

It's not clear with "heart" batteries you are referring to. Are you talking about "Hart" batteries?

I think it would be more efficient if you attach some photos of different batteries you have, the chargers you have, and the power tools you have.

Meshtastic Tips & Tricks #1 - Using Spaces in Channel Names

First, save the channel without space(s) in its name. Then edit the channel again after it's saved. You'll find that the Meshtastic app allows you to add space(s) into the channel name as shown in the screen shot below.

Arlo Security Camera App Cannot Run on C23 Ultra SmartPhone. WTF!
Thu, 31 Oct 2024 23:31:28 +0000

I replaced my previous SmartPhone with a no-brand C23 Ultra 5G unlocked SmartPhone from Amazon. After I installed the Arlo security camera app and launched it, I got the following error:

"The Arlo Secure app cannot be run because we cannot confirm that your device meets Arlo security standards. This may be because your device is rooted, has an unlocked bootloader or is running a custom ROM."

WTF, Netgear!? I just want to see my security cam footage. Why does it matter what the Arlo app runs on?
