A rgbw led light that works on a mesh protocol similar to WiFi

Pretty much enables me to switch the lights on when I enter my office via motion then when I sit down on the sofa, sensors within tell my server to switch on the AC if it's too hot turn on the tv and dim the lights and the RGB allows me to have visual notifications via flashing color if the fire alarm senses gas or smoke or if someone is has triggered a CCTV camera

Oh and here's one finished

not mine, the scroll wheel is broken but the encoder is fine so i use scroll from the other mouse, but since the size is different i need to put something so the scroll can sit right, so i use thick plastic as mounting

unless it de-laminated a little bit after getting cut up it almost looks like some sort of PE film that is folded up several times, I think so bc the cuts are uneven layer to layer. that's my final answer Regis. now to wait to hear back from the OP to see who's closer lol

If it looks like that it's probably folded up sweet wrappers in which case still a food container micropage has a long history of fixing things with sweetie wrappers on this thread.

I on the other hand live next door to China so can buy heat shrink by the sack extremely cheap. No need to ghetto cable insulation when it's so low cost and my wife won't let me eat sweets.

I use them as disposable eye protection when doing wood work, wrap it around your face and then put a headband on works a treat, And alot better clarity than my safety goggles as they normally get abused doing metal work.

So I just ordered this e-paper display and on my haste to buy a cheap one I neglected to look if it came with a touch panel.... Sadly not and the only people who stock them are banggood and I've contemplated flying to their head office in the past to beat the CEO to a bloody pulp with the doa tablet I bought from them they won't replace so I have to come up with another idea.

There's no way it's a purpose built panel and from what I can see it looks distinctively like a Samsung what do you cleaver folks think?

@ThaiTaffy looks like the front of my old Scamsung J2 Pro

Reminds me of the good old days when i did phone repairs, and bought broken galaxy S3/S4/S5 phones and replaced the glass on them

ThaiTaffy · Mar 12, 2022

The issue I've found is the ribbon cable seems to terminate at the top close to the speaker rather than the bottom next to the mic and I have no idea if that would make the touch panel work upside down.
I've done plenty of phone repairs over the years but I just did screwdriver repairs and have no idea of the specifics of touch panels.

Mussels · Mar 12, 2022

If the cables at the wrong end of the phone, you got the wrong part

ThaiTaffy · Mar 12, 2022

It's not for a phone it's a custom e-paper display I'm making

Rather quick demonstrations but: definitely easier to find a spot it can just sit in vs a bare fan. I'd assume it blows over more area as well, due to being placed farther away.

Oh how I miss my 990fx

So in my goodie bag from Jack ma today I got some of the parts for my wall panel seems the capacitive touch switches self calibrate which is cool and work through a 4mm printer scanner glass and a peice of thick artists paper not sure if I do the prints on paper will they last though(humidity and high UV) might find a peice of film and try that before I commit

FX platforms where amazing, if you had a higher end AM3+ board, and not a cheap-o or one with misconfigured VRM's as in they cant sustain a proper 125W CPU.

I owned a Crosshair Formula Z. Good for Quad Crossfire and CPU's with over 225W of TDP support. Basicly i was running a 8320 at 4.8Ghz with a 300Mhz FSB and DDR3 2400Mhz. It ran super solid.

I did see boards that coud'nt hold CPU's at stock clocks and would simply throttle. The VRM design was'nt within specification of what AMD recommended. Thats why you see even 30$ boards now still capable of running a high end 5950X and offers some room of overclocking while running at 110 degrees lol.

These FX boards can run warm yes; but as long as it does'nt throttle it's not really an issue. These are not open but closed caps as their life expectency is quite longer, even at higher temps.

Noel does a very interesting mod to an Amstrad CPC with a new stock parts build. A bit ghetto, but gets the job done.

No offense to Noel or the board maker intended, this is just an example of how things can happen sometimes and how one fixes those problems.
