@viocaia
@viocaia 2 дня назад
You see those 4 contacts inside the case, or better 4 contacts on the vacuum itself, those are for the switch and for supplying the extra motor for rotary brushes. So you can touch with the ammeter those for switch and the motor should start.I'll do short about soon. As for the internal resistance for 18650 I found until 40milliohms are ok, they say like 20 to 80 will be ok...I rather found more than 60 to be ''tired'' not so good for power applications but still good for lighter or arduino…stuffs like that. Here we need current , so I suggest my configuration it's need.

Thank you for sharing this! Could you share for how long have you had these panels? Normally they are covered with 2 years warranty! Have you tried replacing them? Did you raise a complain to the manufacturer? I am asking, because I will probably buy the same, due to lack of other models in my area! Thanks
@viocaia
@viocaia 5 дней назад
I bought this from a local provider. They replaced the ruined instantly without asking me to send the bad ones. Eventually I realized they replaced those from their own stock and the factory didn't make any effort to solve the situation. It was a clear malfunction on the factory ensemble line, as long as three of the panels had exactly the same problem.
@YigalBZ
@YigalBZ 7 дней назад
I purchased the device - the 5V output. At first it looked well with my Arduino project: the battery is well charged, and the arduino project is working well under load, both when connected to external power (through the LX-LCBST) and when the external power is removed, so the battery is providing the power. However, there is a strange thing: When power is connected, I can turn on and off the arduino project, with no issue. When I turn the device off, without external power connected, the Arduino will not power up. Any idea?
@viocaia
@viocaia 7 дней назад
Interesting...probably the Arduino input/load it's a high resistance value that the module doesn't see like a load, and it's not turning on the boost converter from stand by...try to add a 1-10 K in parallel with the power input

In fact, for subs doesn't matter if it's stereo or sum, I use it in mono anyway. If you don't sum, any channel will do the job. For the gain, there is no standard level let's say, it's up to you and your ears. Usually the power amplifiers have a clip LED, so take care not to see that too often...so use common sense.

In fact i did not understand what you are trying to measure, you should use different approach, two interconnected splitters with equal cables with known length and loss, one acting as splitter and another as combiner could tell you more. While taking measurements in both directions if you disconnect one of the cables, the left open ports should be terminated. Ofcourse results should be devided by two, or better use some complex realtime maths, if your VNA support it.

Telefoanele nu detecteaza chargerul meu mppt 75/15. Chestia e ca chargerul decupleaza LOAD abia la 6V primiti de la baterie (in loc de 10) deci poate ca e defect, proaspat cumparat :(

'I don't have the charger anymore, so I can't test again. It's very possible in your case to have a clone. There are some looking identical. Original post in Romanian: ''It didn't work for me. They probably made some changes so that you can still buy cables from them and bluetooth adapters also from them... I tried on two phones, even with Rx to Tx and vice versa. The phones do not detect my mppt 75/15 charger. The thing is that the charger disconnects LOAD only at 6V received from the battery (instead of 10), so maybe it's defective, just bought :(..

From my stage experience, more than 40 years, I found balanced matters for long, but really long cables. For connections like few meters doesn't really matter. I prefer to use one of the hot wires to ground for better shielding. Of course, for having a three wires microphone cable. Let's say a classic cable, with metallic mesh and white and red hots...finally, balanced maters when there are long distances...tens of meters at least.
