Disconnecting the Lectron Vortex from a Super Charger
Car's are not my Focus, but after running into this problem myself, I thought I would publish something that may be helpful to others. If you are looking for channels about EVs, my channel probably isn't for you. But if you find this video helpful, please like and leave a comment.
If your Lectron Vortex is stuck on a super charge NACS cable, worry not, you can release it. It is going to require some force. While still connected to your car, grab the NACS handle and apply a bit of pressure as though you were trying to plug it in further to your car. While doing that, fully press the NACS release lever on the adapter, then start pulling the NACS adapter out.
I did find for me that after enough connect/disconnect cycles, the effort needed to remove the cable became more reasonable.
Earlier versions of this adapter allowed the NACS cable to be released to easily (in some cases even if not pressing the release lever). I think Lectron might have over-corrected with this one. I've found some others that have abandoned their adapter because they could not remove it. This is far too pricy to leave behind.

Building OpenSSL with VS 2022 for Java Card
มุมมอง 26หลายเดือนก่อน
To build for JavaCard, you need to have a 32-bit installation of OpenSSL and it's libraries. In this video, I compile OpenSSL with the necessary arguments using Microsoft Visual Studio 2022. This is a video in a series. For the full playlist, see th-cam.com/play/PLPVxL7x8hA1P8GoBXCSPGRwBoTchRFvWH.html blog.j2i.net youtube.com/@UCW550eUtV_tVQ1h6131AipA j2inet Sometimes I play video...
Introduction to Java Card Development
มุมมอง 27หลายเดือนก่อน
This is the first video for a play list that I am developing on Java Card development. For the hardware that I'll be using, you can find a listing on my blog. For the full playlist, see th-cam.com/play/PLPVxL7x8hA1P8GoBXCSPGRwBoTchRFvWH.html This is being developed over time. The first videos were uploaded in June 2024. Check back over time after then as newer videos are added to the playlist. ...
My Eclipse Experience | j2i.net

Did all of you that were in a place that could see the eclipse get a chance to observe it? Though I wasn't in an area that could observe totality, I made the most of what I had. Using an old camera and an old telescope, I got a few shots. The next total eclipse for the USA won't be for another 20 years. In the mean time, I'll find some other uses for my solar viewing equipment. #eclipse #eclips...

The 2024 Eclipse for the USA will be 8 April. If you plan on trying to take pictures, there's a really cheap filter that you can use to reduce the intensity of the sun so that you can capture the eclipse. These phone filters are big enough to cover all of the lenses on many phones allowing you to be less precise with placement. At only 8.99 USD at the moment, you can get them from Amazon here (...

The adapters will also be useful for public stations when they go to J3400 connectors if driving a CCS1 vehicle. @Mikesele70 the adapter connects to the Tesla connector then plugs into the vehicle. For Rivian drivers as long as your payment method is up to date in the Rivian app thats tied to your vehicle you can roll up to any Tesla V3 NACS location and plugin and start charging. If your vehicle is on the current update the navigation can show you nearby Tesla V3/NACS superchargers, make sure you enable the Tesla filter when searching for chargers.
Very helpful, thank you!!!
Hi man, can i use this way for jetson nano?
Do you know how to install Speedify on this device ??
Huh, do they work? I own a Rivian that is approved to charge on NACS . I can see that these 2 are available, looking to see what one is better quality speed, you gave no information....
great and simple. Thank you.
Good tutorial, how about steering wheel? Gamepad will support it?
Yes sir! I appreciate your video. I’ve been looking for a video for this problem. It randomly popped up in my google news feed 😊. I had the same 20 minutes trying to disconnect but I didn’t keep it plugged in the charge port. The second time was easier but it sill took some effort to remove the cable but it was at least a minute or so. Also it’s important to know that for Ford Lighting’s the software must be updated to use the superchargers. Also there are superchargers that are allowed to use the nacs adapter so look for approve supercharger stations in the Tesla or ford pro app
Excellent Video 2024
wow thank you sooo much I tried this out cuz I just got mine stuck on my Tesla portable charger seeing if it would work...and I finally got it out after following your directions!!
Thanks!
keep going
Sadly only works from windows as the SSH extension is not provided for Linux.

Can I use orange pi on banana pi? They don't have any software I can find anymore
Mine eventually charged but trying to use it in 2024 is a pain. Can you help get it working smoothly again?
thanks, amazing video
I wonder if it'd be possible to use something like this to make a portable video recorder for old camcorders/video cameras to put them into use nowadays.
It is, that is exactly what I have been working to achieve the past couple months.
this Video is very usefull thanks
Pretty Neat! One of the better videos I’ve seen!
Hi Thats awesome! I was wondering if there would be a way to have midi signals sent to it and use it as a visual metronome... kind of feel like im a step closer but also have absolutely no idea still lol
Does it work on Raspberry Pi 5? Thanks. 👍
Did you get the camera working? I haven't seen any videos with the pi5 and hq camera.
I got it working last night. I'll try to make a short video tomorrow showing it.
Can I use the glasses as a filter for my phone camera
Yes
Though the ecliose is over, I'm responding. It is possible to use glasses, but with multilateral phones it may be more challenging to ensure all the lenses are covered. You also need to minimize the spacing between the phone's lens and the filter, or else you get reflections that interfere with picture quality.
Thanks dotnet works for me now, just one thing though. How do i run .exe files with dotnet because there was an exe file that i downloaded that said it needed dotnet to run.
what app are you using?
That was the Black Magic camera app.
you are a genious, thanks a lot
Since raspistill, raspivid series tools are removed by BULLSEYS, you need to use gstreamer tool to replace raspistill, raspivid etc.
One question. Do those panel instrument function natively with MFS2020? Or do you need to install any adicional drivers or software? Thanks
You have to install a driver. Otherwise I believe they just worked. I can double-check for you on Saturday on a clean system. Message be back if I forget, there is a lot going on!
it works fore every Plane even fore Ships so go fore it
great video. However, I read that the protection against excessive voltages is bypassed by supplying it via GPIO. How risky is supply via the GPIO pins?
Please keep doing obscure videos like this. There are many developers/programmers and just tech enthuiasts who seek this type of information. Nice work.
Someone sitting next to me has been telling me this. and now i am getting "I've been telling you so" from that person in response to your comment. lol. You provided evidence their statements to me were accurate. 😄
That's amazing!❤
And if you use an analog to HDMI converter you can digitalize your VHS tapes.
I have the same problem. It's really weird. I hope to find a way to make the stuff not sticky.
yeah, qll the solutions I find can be summarized as coating the item in something so that you cant come in contact with the sticky surface. It feels more like avoidance than actually solving the problem.
Hi, I cannot get the waveshare to work also.
I pretty sure from what your saying is one is staik and the other is Logitech but I’m pretty sure there not able to come together
Good 👍 I buying 1 today
Does urs connect automatically?
promo sm 💯
thanks so much better than server code.. save my life and time
unfortunately it won't work
I appreciate the content!
Sadly doesn't work on Pi Zero W: Arm V6 architecture not supported.
took a couple hard, long hours wondering why the hell it doesnt work to find out
Possibly too much draw for the psu?
This helped alot, thank u so much!
Nice video. Do you know which screen resolution has this screen?
320x240px
Thank you for the video. I enjoyed hearing your thought process and your drive to do things for the simple joy of experimenting and learning. Looking forward to more of this.
Thank You for a very useful video
Hey thanks been looking for some early uploaded vids and i was wondering is this compatible with xbox and what cable does it use Thanks
I doubt it is co oatible. But I'll give it a try. Will take a while to get it downloaded.
I just got my Raspberry pi so Idk what to type here 1:24
