    Modifying a $4 Chinese 600w Boost Converter for External Control

    Just a quick article so this knowledge isn’t lost. This is specifically for the “white version” pictured but it should work for any one of these that uses an XL7005A as a startup(?) regulator. The board calls itself SZBT08CCCV. There is a smaller version that does not feature the same layout so don’t get that…

  • Magic LCD 8 Ball for Tech Support

    Magic LCD 8 Ball for Tech Support

    This is going to be a quick write-up because I don’t expect anyone to do this the exact same way I did. The 8-Ball was meant to be a quick shitpost project to prove to myself that I can still do projects just for fun and not try to constantly monetize my hobby. All of…

  • A Tale of 2 Chillers

    A Tale of 2 Chillers

    Sometimes, keeping your laser cool will cost you more than the laser itself. For the uninitiated, the K40 is a laser cutter that can be purchased for less than $400US.

  • Notes on Running EZMaster on Unraid

    This is just going to be a quick guide on getting EnGenius EZMaster running on unraid. This should also work for KVM or Proxmox or whatever. The first step is to get the OVA file from EnGenius. This isn’t hard, you just need an email adress and a fake name. https://www.engeniustech.com/download-ezmaster-oracle-virtual-box.htmlThey emailed me a link…

  • More Laser=More Printer

    More Laser=More Printer

    So on my previous posts about PCB making and toner transfer, I mentioned that some printers simply do not work well with this method. My Laserjet P2015 is one of those printers. It’s been a workhorse for over a decade but it simply won’t dump enough toner onto the page no matter what the settings…
