I have 2 displays, 1 is a TV and one is a projector, and I have a separate room where I'd like to have either a touchscreen or just a normal monitor to control everything from.

Does anyone know of any existing software I could use or any documentation for making this myself?

The system needs to be able to take in multiple inputs and have 2 outputs. The software should allow me to have both displays on, just one display on or none. Either display should be able to show different sources such as a Chromecast on one and a Nintendo switch on the other, or show the same thing if both are on.

If I were to make this myself it would preferably run on a raspberry pi for space and power efficiency.

Are there any consumer grade thought identification components available for purchase? (Like the one in mindfield) There is nothing like it I can find on amazon. I need it for an idea I had for a project

hey ya'll, I just picked up a 30 pin B&W zeppelin air. I was wondering if there would be any problems perusing the idea of re using the 30pin to power a modern style magsafe phone charger, to add some functionality. Does the 30pin make enough power, anyway? Is there a good source out there for high quality 30 pin female adapters for diy? Let me know if you can think of any issues!

i have this laptop motherboard i want to turn into a handheld I can power it over USB c . I have laptop batteries (not for this board) I could harvest cells from but I still have no idea how to charge them, but I think I could use a step-up module. it needs 15w up

Ciao a tutti, sto pensando di costruire una console portatile utilizzando un Raspberry Pi 5 (8 GB di RAM). L’idea sarebbe di farla simile a una Steam Deck o a una Rog Ally, con schermo integrato e magari dei mini-controller direttamente nella scocca, ma lasciando accessibili anche le porte USB per collegare altre periferiche (controller, tastiera, ecc.).

Chiedo ai più esperti:

1. È una cosa fattibile secondo voi?
2. Che hardware mi consigliate di usare? Tipo schermo, batteria, mini-controller, (scheda madre, se il raspberry non va bene), ecc.
3. Suggerimenti su come ottimizzare le prestazioni e su quali sistemi operativi o emulatori utilizzare?

Voglio qualcosa che sia bello da vedere, funzionale e possibilmente non un forno portatile. Se avete consigli o esperienze simili, sono tutto orecchi!

Anybody know of an existing manufactured 2POS Blade to C7 cable? I'm working on a project for work and would need a lot of them for a long term solution. I know it's not exactly a DIY question but I figured if anyone would know, it would be this group. Sorry if it's against the rules but I ask because I respect y'all so much!

Hallo zusammen,

Ich habe in den letzten Monaten an einem spannenden Projekt gearbeitet und einen DIY-Elektrolyseur entwickelt, der zu einem großen Teil aus 3D-gedruckten Teilen besteht. Perfekt für alle, die sich für erneuerbare Energien oder DIY-Projekte interessieren!

Die Anleitung enthält:

• Einen detaillierten Bauplan mit einfachen Schritten
• Materiallisten und Hinweise zur Beschaffung
• Einen kleinen Theorieteil, falls du tiefer in die Wissenschaft eintauchen möchtest

Das Beste daran: Ich habe alles als kostenlose PDF-Anleitung zusammengestellt, damit ihr das Projekt einfach nachbauen könnt.

Warum ich das teile?
Ich glaube fest daran, dass wir alle einen Beitrag zur Förderung von sauberer Energie leisten können – und manchmal fängt das bei einem kleinen Projekt in der eigenen Werkstatt an. 🔋🌱

Falls ihr Fragen zum Bau habt, lasst es mich gerne wissen! Ich freue mich auf euer Feedback und bin gespannt, ob jemand das Projekt ausprobiert. 💡

PS: Fotos von euren fertigen Elektrolyseuren wären der Hammer! 🚀

I'm looking to build an led display similar to the one in the post linked below. I needs to be transparent so that I can see through it and slightly flexible so that it can be attached to the inside of a helmet visor. Does anybody have any suggestions on where to start or where I could buy the necessary stuff?

i am planning on building a 3d printer enclosure. and i want to have some fans and a filter. and i want to control the fans via a "Semper Autostyle 4X Fan Controller" but i dont know how to power it can i use a usb to molex cable or do i have to use something else.

I tried posting a picture but the post got removed. Not sure why.

I have a jax jox interactive studio home gym. The company went out of business. I can use the weights still but I can no longer use the touch screen to login for work outs. I was wondering what the heck can I do with the 43" widescreen touch screen.

My first thoughts were a touch screen custom arcade cabinet, a home calander/smart home hub, or a touch screen media PC.

I can post pictures of the unit and the connections/ IO if needed.

Hi, trying to fix my mom's kitchen cabinet. I need to buy another one of these hinges as it broke.

This is a lift up mechanism for the top counters.

I found the whole thing online, produced by this chinese company. I have contacted them, but no reply, also i only need the hinge as the rest of the mechanism is fine.

I tried google lens but couldn't find this specific hinge. Are you aware of what model/producer it is, or any other I could use?
Thanks, cheers.

Why is everything so expensive

Hello everyone,

I already own a PC (i7-13700KF, 3080, Z690..), and I have these "old" parts that have been sitting idle for quite a while:

• Z270E
• i5-7500
• GTX 1050Ti 😭

(I can get the remaining PSU, RAM - how much?, and SSD/HDD elsewhere, if needed)

Does anyone have any cool ideas on how I can repurpose them at home? I thought about setting up some kind of server or storage solution, but I'm not sure if that would be a waste given the components. Or is there any way I can make some side money off of it? (Apart from selling, which I find challenging since they are quite old and have been heavily used)

Thank you all in advance! 😁

Hi,

because I want to do a little more sport in the new year, I was looking for a fitness device. I came across a device that generates resistance using a piston.

The weight generated by the piston is supposed to behave exactly the same as if you were training with a classic device with weight plates. So to speak, there should be resistance when you compress the piston and when you release it, the piston should also return a force that also corresponds to the weight.

It can simulate several weight resistance values, which are independent of speed and linear over the entire compression and expansion process.

Now I am looking for a piston like that so that I can use my manual skills to build a similar device for my garage.

My problem is that I can't find out what kind of piston it is. I have looked at hydraulic pistons and pneumatic ones, and neither has the required features.

Here is a link to the fitness machine and its pistons as resistance:

THE INVISIBLE WEIGHT | EISENHORN

The website advertises an innovative and patented system, but in the end the whole system should be based on a piston, shouldn't it?

Does anyone know what kind of piston I would need to use to build something like this myself?

I have an idea but don't know much a about it but is there a way to setup a USB or PS2 keyboard to play music through a 555timer?

I have alot of keyboards and some chips and i think this would be a cool project.

I'm not making anything rn so schematics would be great and helpful.
