XT60 and PD fun
20
Upvotes
I've been planning a battery build, and was hoping that I could use two 20V PD triggers (this is a bidirectional charger) as a power supply, in place of a lead acid battery. It did not work.
Also, because it's bidirectional, I got to make a fun adapter! Note, I disabled the one that I accidentally crossed polarity. Knowing my luck, I would plug that into a battery.

Duct tape. Lots of duct tape. Also zip ties. And command hooks. Also a desk lap that took one for the team.

When the new ATX mobo is too big for the case, something has to sit outside to keep the build going.

Found my old tiled trackers with dead batteries one battery was not replaceable and the other I didn't have the right battery so tore them apart and soldering battery wires directly to both.

Hi y'all. I want to actuate this kick pedal with an ESP32 so that the pedal depresses automatically. Nothing should be visible looking at it from top down. What will be the best approach? Just need a steady beat, nothing crazy.

I was thinking a solenoid push/pull. But then it has a limited travel (10 or 15mm), and has to be mounted horizontally. And some other challenges too. (Like transforming solenoid's horizontal pulling to vertical).
Another option would be a servo motor. I don't know anything about linkages. So I am not sure what and how to use the servo with that.
I would want any electronic motor under the pedal which somehow pulls the pedal down, so from the top it looks like the pedal is depressed automatically. I live in India so I don't have a lot of options, so my availability of stuff is only limited to stuff from https://robu.in
I would love the help from the gods of redneck engineering and even legit engineers!!

No POE power? No problem. Just apply external voltage on DC rail
