Unboxing Installing sample code (using Windows) on my long awaited Udoo Key !
Hey Everyone,
After waiting forever, I finally got my Udoo Key and installed some sample code using Windows on the ESP32 and RP2040.
I ran into some issues doing this, but I hope this video helps others with getting code onto their Udoo Key.
Let me know if you want me to do a video on how I figured out the issues I found when trying to get code on the Udoo Key or if you would like to see a video of anything else relating to toe Udoo Key.

Hey TH-cam, I recently got a Panasonic DC-S5 due its amazing video capabilities. I filmed quick video with my kitty @stellsbellscat.

Replacing the cam chain sprocket bolt seal on a Honda S2000 !
มุมมอง 5472 ปีที่แล้ว
Hey TH-cam, If the engine on your S2000 is leaking oil around the bolt on the timing chain cover, the seal on that bolt is more than likely worn and needs to replaced. Luckily, the seal only costs a couple of dollars and takes less than half an hour to replace. Be careful however, because if this bolt is backed out too much, then the timing chain cover is more than likely going to have to come ...

Turned out it was caused by Microsoft updates and solved by their updates too. The only downside I would say is that its a tad heavy and not portable at all unless you want a sore shoulder.

    Hi there. I have an opportunity to get a 16gb (as you know NOT upgradable) version of this laptop with a 5850u cpu. I am considering making it my main driver, and would like to occasionally use it to create content in Da Vinchi or Adobe Premiere Pro, at 1080 res only. Your video suggests that this X13 performs adequately in content creation. You mentioned that you had two test units at your avail, one with 16gb, the other with 32gb or RAM. Which version did you use on your benchmarks? If you did use the 32gb version, do you recall if your tests/rendering relied on >16gb or ram? Also, was your Da Vinchi test for 1080 or 4k content? Knowing the above would help me decide to buy the 16gb, 5850u version or not. I can get it for $500 with two years of warranty - great price point, if it can do 1080 video creation at a reasonable speed. Thanks in Advance Cheers - B.

    Replacing the entire ribbon cable is NOT the way to go. I just tried to do so and one end of the ribbon cable is soldered onto another electrical component on the side of the camera by the battery compartment. I have never seen a ribbon cable soldered onto something else. I am not very experienced with soldering and could not fully reach that part of the camera without removing the main board behind the panel so I decided not to try to desolder old ribbon cable. Honeslty if anyone wants to replace their shutter button I would say its easier to just try to solder it straight off the old ribbon cable and replace it their.

    Running the iron at a hotter temperature to minimize how much the cells heat up sounds counter-intuitive to many, but it’s absolutely true for digital temperature-controlled soldering irons which maintain a set temperature by measuring at the tip and turning the heat on and off. Soldering pros know that your tip instantly loses whatever heat it had when it touches a significantly larger thermal mass… like a nickel strip and battery terminal with fresh solder. This means that the iron will need to recover and restore its tip to the set temperature by turning on the heat. It will turn off again as soon as the internals of the tip reach the target temp but it will instantly lose that heat before the interface temps at the surface get hot enough, so your solder will still refuse to flow. That’s because it is still sinking heat into the high thermal mass you are trying to solder. It will detect this drop each time and continue cycling the heating element until the combined thermal mass of the battery, nickel strip, and iron tip are all heat-soaked. While this is happening, everything down the line slowlys heat up much more than it needed to. You want the largest tip you have pre-loaded with as much solder as it will hold so that you have as much thermal mass as possible pre-heated before you ever touch the battery. A higher temperature means it can maintain a high enough temperature for the solder to flow before the heat drops too much. It takes time to heat up the rest, so as long as you are in and out fast enough it results in a lower temperature at the heat-sensitive parts. Of course, you still want to limit temps as much as possible above what you need to pull this off. I would not recommend soldering with a traditional thermocouple-type DTC iron. The newer cartridge types with the heating element built into the tip have much better thermal recovery to get away with using lower temperatures on high thermal masses. Something like the TS80/TS100 or a clone that takes Hakko T12 or JBC tips would be perfect and affordable. Despite this, I’m still rocking an old T18 clone (old type) so I use a cheap battery spot welder. ;)
