    Does the antenna only increase transmitting range or can it increase reception in regards to flipper zero and the CC1101 Wireless Module?

    The or an , antenna will only do its job for what it’s designed to do. Sorry, I have no idea about the flipper. But yes. The antenna recives and transmits. Would you care to elaborate?. Sorry, we don’t allow or contribute to hacking. It’s against the forum rules. Most hacking destroys your...

    Impact activated LEDs

    If the microphone module has sensitivity, that would be ideal for a drummer. Soft taps equals dimmer LEDs, while hard hits equals brighter LEDs. Martin

    Inductor detached from PCB

    Perhaps bad soldering from factory? Or lots of vibration which shook it off?. Too many variables. But I suggest you carefully check all solder joints as this is unusual but does happen. Or…the device is drawing lots of current and melted the solder?. Martin

    Inductor detached from PCB

    Inductors/coils come in various sizes. The ‘larger’ types are usually glued to the board and adjacent components. Some are left floating in the breeze and therefore break off. Show a picture of yours please, as I’m just guessing. Martin

    Cutting stick on LED strips

    Can you give a link to them?. If each LED is in parallel, then yes you can. But if series strings, then no. Martin

    Trail cam

    Perhaps you need to disassemble it more and give it a thorough cleaning. Martin

    Impact activated LEDs

    Interesting, I have a few of those mic modules. I might have a play. I haven’t found time yet to play with the arduino. Martin

    Biggest load of ignorant bull crap!. You certainly know how to start a fire amigo!. Obviously you watched the YouTube videos of ignorant people like yourself doing it all wrong. This is 120V mains you doughnut!. You can’t just cut it where you want!. Oh, those little things are bridge...

    DIY load for generator testing.

    I’ve ordered 4 tube heaters to see how it goes. Great idea BTW. I was hoping for somewhat of a portable device, so I’ve ordered the 2’ (24”) 120W tubes. I was also hoping to be able to utilise an old PC tower for the case. I’ll update when they arrive. And if they can be series/parallel, I’ll...

    Have you heard of Google? You’ll get everything you need to know and probably videos on it too. It amazes me how people find the forum to post questions without a little WWW search first. Then post your questions on the parts you don’t understand. Martin

    Short term battery backup circuit

    Try the yellow wire directly to the battery. It used to be illumination of the stereos lighting plus memory. The illumination should turn off when the ignition is turned off, and the cars lights.Therefore saving the battery. But a direct connection of the yellow may well help in keeping your...

    Short term battery backup circuit

    If it’s anything like my son’s (Chinese) facia stereo, it has a yellow accessory wire. It was necessary to wire that directly to the battery side rather than through the ignition side. Martin

    Making Custom-Length Xmas Lights from Existing Strand

    I think you’ll find hundreds on YouTube, but whether they are correct or even dangerous is another matter. Bigclive on YouTube has many videos pulling these sorts of things apart and drawing the schematic for them. Martin

    Making Custom-Length Xmas Lights from Existing Strand

    OTOH, if the string is really 120VAC, it would probably have some form of rectification. If these have a plug at both ends for connecting more strings, the forth wire is probably a direct feed through. That leaves three wires. 2 wires to a series string of LEDs and the third wire going from each...
