What random stuff is Alley Cat up to today?

I'm Alley Cat, just a regular cat who loves collecting cameras, then trying to figure out how to justify having them. This channel isn't about getting tons of likes or subscribers. It's more like a personal reminder for me to make the most out of my cameras and to show you the unnoticed beauty around us.

What I'm really into is capturing the little moments and hidden spots that we usually miss - like a quiet corner in a busy city, the gentle sounds in a forest, the beauty of tiny waterfalls, or the untold stories in buildings both old and new. It's all about real, unfiltered life moments.

I'm here to share these little slices of life with you, hoping they spark something in you to go after what you love, be it DIY stuff, adventures, or just everyday stories. And hey, if you drop a friendly comment, it honestly means the world to me - even more than likes or subscribes. So, come along and let's explore and discover together!

Hello Alley Cat. Your case designs are brilliant. Do you have a link for the little wrench you use at 2:25 ? Thanks.

Here is the one in the video: a.co/d/4l6wTz1 But they have a wrench version which is better for this stuff, I just couldn't find it at the moment: a.co/d/cKzKE0d They also have a set with both and a pouch that's good for EDC: a.co/d/3agEwoN

@@randomalleycat I’ve researched more and seems like pressing the user button for 5 seconds turns off the Heltec, so switch might not be needed. So far I’ve added physical switch between battery and terminal for every v3 I’ve own. Again, very nice design, thank you for it.

Great design, and thanks for sharing. Where did you get the right angle antenna connector? Mine is straight that doesn't fit with the 3000mah battery.

There's a link to it on the Printables page, but you can use the 2000mAh with the straight connector.

which battery is that? I can't find the right JST plug
@randomalleycat
@randomalleycat Месяц назад
Check the Printables page linked in the description, there is a link to the batteries I used. Technically it's not a JST connector because the 1.25 pitch JST connectors have a latch, it's actually a generic connector based on the Molex PicoBlade. We all just call it JST because that's the most common brand of these style connectors.

@randomalleycat
@randomalleycat Месяц назад
I like the RAK antenna, but if you don’t have one sitting around already, usually you get the heat shrink coil antenna in the kit with a Heltec unless you got the SMA. Of course you could always use the SMA version or the case! Unfortunately I don’t have the equipment or expertise to do a legitimate comparison test, but I think it’s better to just go with what you have or is easiest to acquire in this situation.

In the summer of 1982, the ad agency I recently joined (Clark & Associates) was tasked to save the fledgling Waterworld at Cal Expo. The TV commercials I produced, directed, and edited energized the people of Sacramento, Stockton, and Modesto, making the park a success. The excellent cameraman was Steve Lombardi from KXTL TV40. I edited the spots off-line in my office on a JVC 3/4" video system, and then finished the spots at TV40's online video editing suite.

I snagged a T-deck with a HGLRC GPS module. I got my wires correctly soldered, but get "No sats" pretty much always. Red light is on for a bit but eventually goes off and only blue remains. Can't understand what is going on.
@randomalleycat
@randomalleycat Месяц назад
If you're sure that your wires are connected properly, you also want to make sure that GPS mode is enabled in the settings, and then just leave it powered on in a place that you know gets a good signal, outside if you can, and you might need to restart it after a while as well. If you join my discord, you can get some more help pretty quickly as well.
