Sorry tipsee - I sold the project on im afraid....hit a roadblock....then came into a little money and the diy build just didnt make sense any more. I sold the supercharger and all the gear to a rex racer crew - no idea what they did with it.

I don't think so - I came into some money and bought a much better car with huge turbos on it and sold the project parts on to a track racer - I'm not aware if they continued on with the project. I certainly hope so.

Fantastic!! Well done - money saved and landfill averted :D

Great - glad you saved your appliance from landfill for a while longer :) keep em ticking :)

Sadly not - i started a business , made some money and bought a much nicer car with twin turbos already fitted…. The project and all parts was sold on to another rx8 owner but not sure what happened to it all. Kinda sad would’ve like to follow it through but life’s like that sometimes

Yes the 30 degree wedge comes in the box :)

Great! Well done - keep it ticking :D

Ooof that ‘s OG - I was born in 79…..started about 8 years old so 87 for me - second wind of popping I think. Nobody in my Uk town was a popper I had to work it all out from the movies!

@@StuffAboutStuff ☀️ you're super great at it and sure enjoyed seeing the skills and thank for sharing with all of the world . Peace beloved brother keep shining.

Thank you nearly there :D

@@StuffAboutStuff how's your supercharger project?

@@777MAV well the engine started to die and I ended up with a bit more money floating about but less time - so I decided to trade up instead - I got my boost - twin turbos :D

I sold the build on I'm afraid - I managed to get a significant vehicle upgrade and the project just didnt make sense from a value perspectrive at that point. When I sold it on that included the Pettit pulley - you might want to ask Ryan @ Ryan Rotary Performance as they used to mill out upgraded pulleys etc. That was where I got my pulley (it was his last one), but he might have come across a blown build or two since and might have some spare parts?

Thank you - not really - everything is another project for me - but there’s more detail on my hackaday page. Always interested in new projects :D

Also - checkout the phatfingaz project - its the next logical step for the buttons with RGB backlighting which worked really well - that was only a midi controller (bigger version of midi fighter with full size buttons) - and with RGB you can have cool different modes - one of them was a transport contorl for pause play rec stop and mute/unmute of multiple channels etc. Honestly the next step for any drum machine or MPC type product is an RGB backlit MPC pad PCB with neopixels in it. That being modular and usable in any arduino based project while being compatible with genuine MPC pads and membranes. I'm surprised noone has done it yet.....

I don’t think so it’s just a relay extender - the thermostat handles the app and cloud connectivity

@@StuffAboutStuff Awesome. Thanks for chiming in.

I’ve literally never tried that….might give it a try - I don’t generally use the doors because I use tablets and they stick in the compartment

@@StuffAboutStuff Wiping dry the compartment will stop tablets or detergent sticking. Any cheap dishwasher powder or liquid can be used in the prewash, along with your normal tablet or pod in the main basin (for full-sized loads on normal cycles, _not_ quick washes). I'm thinking of buying the Miele-brand powder soon (it can be used in *any* make of dishwasher) as it's got so many good reviews and none negative. Can use that in both and not bother with tablets. Yeah, using both the prewash and main wash basins is said to greatly to improve cleaning according to this RUclips video: ruclips.net/video/_rBO8neWw04/видео.html

I’m sorry - that but was so fiddly I couldn’t get the camera into position and do it at the same time :-/ I have a head camera now so I’ll just use that on similar projects so I find not miss anything - sorry

The new extension kits do say they support opentherm yes - never tried it

Great ! Glad it’s helped you! Repair don’t recycle :D

If you mean can the button control a smart plug? Absolutely. If you mean can you adapt the integrated button on a smart plug? No I don’t think so; with that unit you’re looking a 230v board so the principle would probably work but I would use a smart button to do that - wireless, battery powered and the switch can control the smart plug without messing with 230v

No I’m afraid not; I had proven the concept and since it was such a massive undertaking of code I’ve not really had the juice for it. I’d be happy to share my code to here but it would need updating. I know that the synth features and effects available are significantly more advanced now - like reverb and such.

Hi Thomas, the engine began to fail and I ended up buying a better car (still love rx8s - but moved on). Once it became a full rebuild as well, and my car budget increased it just didn’t make sense to complete. I sold all the parts on to a race hobbyist with an rx8 - not sure what happened there. Hopefully the charger has been breathing some fun into a wankel somewhere :)

Yes it absolutely was - it was pain cleaning it out of all the taps

Hi Albert Well the engine was basically dead and my fortunes turned for the better and the project just didn’t make sense anymore - I now have 400HP and twin turbos without grazing a knuckle :) The project was sold on to a racing enthusiast - not sure where it’s gone from there.

Hi Kyle No I’ve sold my rx8 now - the supercharger project was sold on to another rx8 owner; my engine started to fail and needed a rebuild and foot problems mean I had to get an auto so continuing the supercharger project didn’t make any sense. On the plus side I now have a Maserati with 2 turbos so….it’s all good. Would have loved to finish it though :D

@@StuffAboutStuff congrats on the upgrade man! If you have a twin turbo Maserati you must be doing sometning right!

Well it didn’t work out too well for me….hope you’ve done ok :D

I get the prospect mining idea provided you are paying less for your electricity than you are getting in coin, but If they're not profitable why don't you just buy them? I mined raptoreum for a bit but I was making a 5% profit so it was just chewing through electricity.....I guess there's an argument for supporting the networks... If I'm not making a 20% margin I'm buying instead of mining....I have ETC, SHIB, BTC, BCH, DOGE, TON, RVN, RTM, im not solely hedging ETH its just the most solid value proposition right now I'm running the new lolminer now so I've got the same ETH hash but now I get TON from the GPU core while its idle....no down side - great feature. :D

@@StuffAboutStuff I mine so I can avoid KYC. Even if I want to do P2P for purchases, its around a 15% tax for that. Ill stop mining if its a severe drop in profits, or scale back hashrate and increase efficiency.

I know but Recent interview suggested the POS has drifted back to November / December - lots of profit to be made until then on ETH…in for a penny :D

@@StuffAboutStuff i will rather mine when difficulty is low for rvn ergo and etc as compare to when difficulty will be sky high in coming months or quarter

@@roselovely105 yes I turned my rig to RVN and TON for a couple of weeks each to spread my bets and I already have investments in ETC….I’m gonna look into flux but I heard the pool rewards come stronger if you mine for longer and that means committing for longer….need to mine for a few months …

@@StuffAboutStuff While I hope you're right about the delays, the fact that no one is talking about such huge news, it's probably not true. It's probably safe to plan to stop mining eth in June and be pleasantly surprised if its extended. I would hate to see you get burned worse than necessary.

@@zachishot17 yeah it’s not a problem - thanks for your concern - I don’t gamble on things I can’t afford to lose. That’s why I don’t have a lambo! Or a bankruptcy :D There’s other coins and they will grow - but with electricity costs rising mining is going to make less sense if the market doesn’t turn back….

Yeah definitely late - the 6700XTs are ok 46Mh for 110w isn’t too shabby - you have to go for a dedicated mining gpu to significantly improve on that - but I decided I wanted gaming gpus I can re-use or re-sell. If I wanted dedicated mining hardware I would just order an ASIC…. 580 is going to be heading in the wrong direction after POS on ETH though - not really profitable on RVN already….their days are numbered in rigs unless you’re prospecting sh17coin s… But to be fair - it’s not like I have a lot of choice - finding retail priced cards was not easy….there’s a bunch popping up now but back in November they were hens teeth!! I’m going to plough on and push through and see what happens….currently running a 50% profit margin despite the dip so while it’s profitable I’ll keep going….

Yeah! That 3090 continues to be an adventure - I made space and put a fan on the back to help the ram cool - I’ve also changed the pads now but still some form of power throttling (not currently saying heat throttling - it’s power throttling). Next stop is a bios flash - then if that doesn’t work I’ll be resorting to water cooling…..I’m resigned to just using it in my desktop rig now….I’m lucky if I get 80 mH and it’s horribly inefficient in throttling mode so I’m better off gaming with it and getting a couple more Amd 6700xt to compensate.

Did you get yours working with opentherm? I think this extension kit is what's needed

@@simong5911 Hi Simon, my engineer decided not to run it on opentherm. I am not sure why but I would have needed the extention kit to do so.

@@Ultimagtr650 apparently I’m told the boiler has to be modulating, also I’m finding some installers are not familiar with the wiring so they stick with relay on/off.

@@sguk06 Yes the boiler can and must be set to opentherm if you want to use it that way.

EBay would you believe. How on earth they built and shipped that much metal for the price is beyond me

4:00 ish - my water softener had burst and little polybeads had blocked the inlet pipe by the sink. Didn’t even need to touch the dishwasher :)

The problem with all of those types of solution is that they are not friends of hue - so you lose HomeKit and Siri functionality (at least).

@@StuffAboutStuff Actually, Samotech is one of the few that is exposed to and compatible with HomeKit and has the HomeKit integration via the Hue bridge 👍 It’s compatibility includes: Hue Bridge Apple HomeKit All the Amazon Echo Zigbee Hubs SmartThings deCONZ Raspberry

Long since discontinued now unfortunately - it was bought from adafruit originally. I would absolutely recommend a capacitive touchscreen these days. I’m using an M5Stack core2 on my latest project and with the m5 button library it’s rather impressive.....

@@StuffAboutStuff Thanks dude!
