I see with Jellyfin people can make their own streaming service in their home with TV shows and movies they have on a hard drive, SD card, or thumb drive.

But what I’m looking to do, (and hopefully maybe this is already done, so I can just learn about it) but is to plug something that looks like a fire stick or a raspberry pie into my TV through the HDMI port, and just play Contant I have on an SD card or thumb drive. Just think. “ no Wi-Fi, this guy has a TV, but lives in a cabin with no streaming.”

I know I could probably plug a thumb, drive into the TV, and click through 1000 things and pick a file.

But what I would really like, is to turn on the TV, and have it look like a Netflix, Hulu, prime, streaming service type appearance, but everything just comes from a thumb drive I have.

Does this exist? Anyone have any advice for me? Thank you in advance. Also, this is my first Reddit post so if I did something wrong I’m new here lol.

I needed a few extra dollars to add to make my limit on "TEMU" to get a discount and now I have 5 - 256MB USB drives. I've saved my bitlocker info for one of my laptops on one of them, but I was wondering what else I could do with the rest of them... I found a few small OS's that might fit on them, but meh, what else is there? Any ideas welcome, thanks. I didn't even check how much memory they had.... I just saw a dollar or two purchase that met the limit so I could get the discount and I just threw it in my cart lol ah well.

Hi! I found this old laptop fan and want to make it spin using a battery, but I don't know which is the positive or negative power cable. (I want to power it with a 9V battery.) So, guy please help.

guys,

Please help as i want to do a lil diy (destroy it yourself) mods on my Gogoro and if you know some, will appreciate any contribution

Hi! I'm interested in capturing UVA light (315nm - 400nm) but as far as I know a phone camera is set up to only allow light in the range of 380nm to 700nm. The hardware should be able to capture a wider range but the software is limiting. Even if it can't capture the full range of light, how do I go about this?
Thank you <3

Looking for 240V 30A Relay for controlling power to a well pump 600+ ft away. Home Assistant or Alexa compatible ideal. Something like this but with Long range Yolink reach, any ideas?

Or, is it possible to attach a low power yolink relay

I am a freshman in high school without a job so no expensive stuff and I'm using Arduino for coding and the microcontroller. currently I'm on spring break and don't have access to stuff such as speakers for testing

My plan is to use an Arduino uno (already have) some speakers and some other stuff to make a (semi) portable speaker. (hopefully) I will have a usb-c cable that both charges your phone and pulls audio and a regular aux port for (you know) aux cords. I also want it to be powered via usb but that's kind of extra. A potentiometer to act as a volume slider or knob if I use something similar to this it needn't be ran to the Arduino just to the circuit, if i end up with a standard 3 legged one, I need to bring it to the Arduino and write code to change the speaker outputs accordingly. The actual structure doesn't matter just the (thing?).

So far i have an aux cord having both channels read, put on the serial monitor and returned to a (hypothetical) speaker via pwm pins, The reason for this is because I want a pot as a volume knob, but to do that for both channels i would need two independently controlled pots

updates later but any suggestions are welcome

I just discovered watchX (smart watch platform meant to teach coding) after one too many ideas on how to modify my smart watch and no coding experience. I was excited about this opportunity, but then, of course, I found out watchX is dead.

Is there still at least an underground community that keeps it alive? I’d love to bounce ideas and questions off of at least somebody.

If not, is there an alternative to watchX with a larger community I could use to learn these skills from?

Thanks!!!

I don't know if this is the right subreddit or not but I've been trying to set up my oculus rift to be wireless, it has two cables, HDMI 1.3 and a USB 3.0 cable, but here is the problem, the USB supply's the power and data, I can give it power by using my 27,000 MAH battery pack with a AC outlet and plug in my USB hub that is ac powered, then plug in my oculus rift USB 3.0 to the hub, but the hub needs a USB connection to my pc to send and receive data. I can not find out how to make nore where to buy a USB to USB wireless system, now the HDMI I'm fine on for that I have a HDMI transmitter and receiver but for some reason there is no USB to USB, what should I do?

Model: QN75Q7FAMFXZA

Wondering if there is a cheap route. If the box actually does anything or if I can get away with just a cable

Hi All,

I've got a perplexing problem while attaching a light to a Bosch e-bike motor.

The bike is limited to an 18w current output at 12v; if the light exceeds this threshold it shuts down the system entirely.

The selected light operates from 6-12v and has a maximum output of 36w.

Most constant current regulators that I've found (like DROK DC-DC buck converter) regulate current by lowering the voltage- this has an unintended impact of lowering the output voltage to 6v while maintaining the maximum amperage and then a sudden fall-off once it drops below 6v.

Is there a device that can be installed inline that essentially clamps the output current to 18w?

Thanks in advance!
