#soldering — Public Fediverse posts

oh yeah, I certainly remember Nietszche arguing there's no objective truth in whether leaded or lead-free solder is better, or that he declared "God is dead" after seeing a person hand soldering BGA chip package :blobcatupsidedown:

🤦‍♂️ Oh no, another tech bro's poetic rant about hating #soldering. 🌪️ Apparently, soldering is the end of civilization and the grey smoke is its harbinger. 🙄 Maybe next time, just hire someone who doesn't have an existential crisis over a soldering iron. 🔧✨

Has anyone been able to integrate a home #DVS (specifically not #HRV) with #HomeAssistant? I wouldn't mind some wiring or #soldering on the thing, but I haven't found any bus decoder yet.

Alright new instance new #introduction time. I should really just copy this somewhere so I don't have to keep retyping it, given how much I move.

I'm #queer, and #polyamorous who's about 30 years old at the time of writing. I do tend to hop around fediverse instances, but I'd like to stop that at some point. I liked Friendica a lot, but my last 2 instances died very suddenly, and I decided against trying a third time. My more stationary account is @[email protected], which should be up indefinitely if I don't decide to stop giving omg.lol my money (unlikely, they deserve it!)

I'm a #gamer, and have been for as long as I can remember. I play #FinalFantasyXIV, #GuildWars2, and #WurmOnline for #MMORPG, and I rotate between a few different non MMOs. I tend to play a lot of #VisualNovel, #Mahjong on Riichi City (and hopefully some on FFXIV once cross-DC queues hit NA!), and a lot of #NSFW games. If you have any suggestions on those don't hesitate to DM me, I'm always looking for more!

For some technical hobbies, I'm into #3DPrinting, and I've dabbled in #Soldering to make my own #MechanicalKeyboard. Didn't design it, but I did put it together without a kit :D

Generally I'm very into #FOSS, and #HomeLab. I've also been a #Linux user since 2010. Over the years I've used several flavors of Ubuntu, Debian, EndeavourOS, Garuda Linux, Arch Linux, and currently a #Gentoo user. Also #Emacs is the best piece of software to ever be released.

I'm a #Writer, though I'm currently being very slow writing this novella. Hoping to turn it into a VN, but I can't draw to save my life, and it's real expensive to commission that many images. Might just do a light novel-style thing and throw an image in with each chapter.

For crafts I like #Knitting, and I can #Crochet though do that very infrequently because it hurts. I also do #TabletWeaving, though I'm fairly new at that.

That's just about everything! I do occasionally boost porn, and will probably post my own at some point. Images will be CW'd, text likely will not be, as it causes some distress figuring out what to CW

A few impressions of the #repair of my #Apple #PowerBook100 with lots of leaky caps. I had to open the HDD, too, to free the heads that were stuck in parking position. But now it boots again. I have to take a closer look at the LCD, though, the contrast is way too low and the potentiometer has no effect. Maybe the LA5316 is broken, or the leakage spread further than I noticed. I had to clean the side behind the caps in the picture, too. A replacement screen is no option, so I might have to abandon this project when I can't fix it. The #powersupply is beyond repair, and the battery is dead, too.

Zu meiner Überraschung gab es beim #libregraphicsmeeting 2026 einen #soldering Workshop https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2026/program/workshop_soldering/

Ich habe nur sehr wenig Erfahrung mit THT, hier kamen SMDs und ein sehr schön entworfenes PCB zum Einsatz. Das Ergebnis funktionierte auch dank der guten Tipps während des Workshops auf Anhieb. Erst später auf dem Foto habe ich ein paar Lötstellen entdeckt, die man hätte besser machen können.

Eine wirklich gute Idee und schöne Gestaltung von @nomis. Das hat großen Spaß gemacht! Danke :)

@tobozo I tried it. What a difference!

Now the RSSI is at around -40 to -42 and there are no send errors, send retries or send timeouts since I added the antenna.

Very cool 😎 as I can keep using these modules after all.

I also figured out how to get them fully running on CircuitPython.

This was my first time soldering after probably more than 20 years ...

I built a compact MIDI controller for my live set, based on OpenDeck and RaspberryPi Pico. And yes, there was a pizza oven involved!

I am amazed that a product sold and rated by a safety organization (USA UL) will list an electrical product rated a 15 amperes, 1,875 watts at 125 volts...but lists the maximum combined load for resistive lamps is 1,000 watts, and an electronic ballast load is 500 watts. I suspect they have not considered inductive loads for this device.

Now with more questions than answers, I open up one of these switching devices to look at the components and see if they have manufacturer's engineering data sheets that usually are more detailed and accurate.

So I open it up and this is definitely a defect condition IPC Level 1 soldering job. But the cube relay checks out, as they are a Taiwan company and did appropriate engineering testing and multiple certification listings. Oh well, I'll clean these up and put them into service.

How do I get the motivation to fix this laptop mainboard?

The only thing wrong with it is the charge ports, but the problem is 44 of the 48 pads across the 2 type c ports are missing. (don't ask me how, I don't know either, its used since it was the only replacement board I could afford)

I've been putting it off for a few months now, I know what must be done, I just am too intimidated.

Any tips for reframing this problem so i stop putting it off would be appreciated

Iode Android devices

Latest version

One Plus 13 with iode OS

I have to carefully check alternatives in OS for Android devices and hardware, which are promised and delivered by third parties. Reading back the sentence I can see that I also am influenced negatively by Alphabet

• third parties are good competitors of Alphabet on Android
• Android has a few good competitors to google in the form of:
• Fair Phone { which has slow hardware but is much easier to upgrade and maintain for YEARS}
• Graphene OS which is solid, robust but only supports Pixel phones due to it's safety standards in hardware## Graphene OS has partnered with Motorola who will produce high quality Androids so we'll have solid FAST alternative hard and software for Android
• I need new G4 Android phones URGENTLY which means the following

No new Graphene powered Android by Motorola

Retro Tech [REDACTED] Android due to fantasticly low price x1

Retro Tech [REDACTED] mid range Android because of very good price x1

• low price android has just 2GB ram and is used as a healthy yes / no GSM
• good priced low mid range android has 4GB ram and is used as a full device
• I only read of the iOde OS OnePlus 13 combo after I purchased the two above Androids
• OnePlus 13 phone is not easy to find new with vanilla Android!
• I can easily find OnePlus 15
• Even second hand OnePlus 13 costs too much in relation to my low budget
• The OnePlus top level series don't use microSD cards and have no analog audio output [a crime against all audio engineers like me]
• I move music by copying it to microSD cards for the phones since that is the fastest using my SBC Pi5 computing systems
• So I'm SOL after september with my phones too

however

• momentum forced me to get the simple alternatives
• no androids means no internet. ISP0 forces the sim cards with internet in a phone
• ISP0 gives way more internet bandwidth per EUR though

isp0 actively blocks portable and home routers with sim card capability

isp1 allows your own sim capable routers but gives way less bandwidth per EUR and is thus less atractive

both isp's blocked g2 devices in november 2K25

This meant the following

• replace all G2 devices in network
• cheapest available device G4 GSM is a whopping USD 40 until the [REDACTED] Androids were sold for USD 25
• significant ammount of G2 devices need to be replaced
• first two Androids were replaced because the power buttons along with the corresponding IC's needed replacement
• I detest surface mount soldering work {I have large hands due to my massively tall posture}
• I love only multilayered through the board soldering
• the parts for the two old androids are not in stock in my country
• the phones are too old to fix [three years]
• th parts and labour will cost to much since one phone is not even receiving security updates (thank you samsung, you arseholes)

Only options were the ones I chose

Note:

One Plus 13 may even be out of production, that means you can't buy it new anymore the year of manufacturing is 2024

Literally no one: –

Me: how about having some unnecessary #BGA #soldering practice in the shape of upgrading #RAM on a #Radxa 4B Plus from 2GB to 4GB? 🤣

Well that did not go as planned.

I used Samsung K4F6E3S4HMMGCJ 2GB RAM chips from #RaspberryPi 4B. With those Radxa would power on, but won't boot and won't go into recovery mode. Only Maskrom works but I wasn't able even to flash a firmware.

Originally it has two HYNIX H9HCNNN8KUMLHR-NME chips - I wonder what makes those different... 🤔

Was #soldering earlier with my open source PCB magnet clamps and a dodgy old tin. They are great for holding bigger bits.. like motors, but I often mount one to the side of the tin for holding wires for tinning. Considering buying some snazzier tins and selling some sets at some point! https://github.com/concretedog/magnet_pcb_clamps #making #tinkering #tools

Hello Fediverse friends.

This one is a bit embarrassing for me but I post my mistales as well as my wins.

A viewer sent me a Sega Game Gear as a parts-only donor. It had already been recapped, but it still wouldn’t power on.

Part 1 is teardown + diagnosis. I clean up old electrolyte, inspect the previous work, and start tracking the real fault. No miracle fix yet, but we do find a solid lead for Part 2? Maybe?

Watch: https://youtu.be/X4_mOQEw2ss

Thanks to @iFixit who very kindly sent me some new tools for the cabin.
