All the time. Why have a home lab if you aren’t going to fuck things up? :)

Better it happens in the home lab than at work!!

Nah, the investors don't see it as a benefit to your growth to pay people you don't have to

5V will be pulled directly from 5V supply

The chip you are concerned about getting warm I believe is your 3.3V regulator.

I would ensure your transistor has some resistors to ensure you are not drawing more current than required from the 3.3V supply

If that is all good then I will remind you of a few things

1. The board you have is a clone (I use them... but they can be dubious)
2. The ESP8266 requires a certain amount of current to run which will cause the chip in question to generate heat all on its own
3. The chip in question appears to be an LDO which will mean going from 5v to 3.3v is done by turning the excess voltage into heat.

I couldn't find an exact Datasheet but I am led to believe that the chip is a clone of this

And here is a wiki entry incase you are curious about Voltage Regulators and the such

Oh yeah, he isn't weird... but what about that sofasexual?

Weird traitors

What a bunch of fucking entitled weirdos

Its amazing what a good camera + good lens + good film can do

Digitization results can also be pretty good if you have well preserved negatives

That said, beyond that statement I can't answer much more.

Do you! You look awesome! Anyone who can't accept it can go piss up a rope

You see Konami slot machines all over Vegas... and a big Konami building as you go down the runway after landing too... (but none if this is particularly new)

I don't read the article as an attack on building high performing bikes.

Just about manufacturers giving a better idea of what a bicycle or wheel set can stand up to by including some maximum supported weight information that is not just available in a manual (which most people don't see until post-sale)

We can pretty easily infer the weight of an overall build down to how much the spokes weigh before buying... why can't we be given more information about what a rim or frame can stand up to with regards to weight?

Old school YouTubers started and sold Maker Studios. I think ShayCarl, Lisa Nova and Kassam G are some that were part of that.

Fuck man, I will hug me some strangers if they are offering. Who doesn’t love some strange?

He was retweeting Andy Ngo and Proud boys.

We don't know what is said behind closed doors but publicly (until around 1/6/2020) Lunduke's twitter was relatively unhinged (pretty much what you would expect from a far right winger)

Sucks because I don't read the shit he writes or mess with the projects he puts out these days.

He is weird

WLED its built to work with ESP8266 / ESP32 So I recommend just getting an ESP8266; its the older and cheaper of the two at $15 for 5 (clone)

I was asking about RGB strip because using WLED effectively means you will be using one of some sort. I don't think I would build it the same way but if I wanted to solve the problem with LED Strips I would get this

This strip is nice because it has cutlines after every LED (some strips have the cut lines at every 3) If you are comfortable soldering you can cut the LEDs apart and use wire to connect them together to get things from house to house

That could be an awesome solution to OPs biggest challenge

I use WLED a lot with strip lights and things and it works great

If you do WLED you should have no need for a bread board. Just get an ESP8266 with male headers and a nice(ish) 12V power supply that can run your strip. From Arduino to LED strip you only need to connect the data pin and ensure 12V PSU ground and 5V PSU ground are connected.

I am leaving the hiding of wires out because I have no clue.

I am curious as to what strip you are planning to use as you will need to (at least from my perspective) hack it apart and extend it with wires to get it nice.

(I advocate for RGB LEDs even though you only need warm white; the stupid stuff you can do with RGB on top of it having warm white is worth it)

I've been wanting to build a similar thing to take on trails.

Please share your progress!

Google does a lot of standards breaking things.

Like allowing a link on Google Apps Marketplace to open a new window (like popup) with POST instead of GET. (This pretty much ensures that buying an app will fail for browsers that follow the spec)
