Long story short: Need to do a reflowing of my PS3, don't have the money to pay someone to do a reballing and dont have the tools for it, checking a guide to do reflowing on a normal oven made me want to attempt this, rn all I need is a somewhat accurate oven thermometer but all the ones i checked that are under 20€ are useless for what i can see on the reviews.
The pinecil can read over 400ºC no problem, i wouldnt need more range than 100 to 300ºC, so, anyway i could hook up a thermocouple or something to the pinecil and check the temp in real time? As long as it's kind of accurate (+/-10ºC) it's all i need.
I know it uses a handle sensor and a tip sensor to calculate temp but if i can have the ambient temp kinda controlled for a short amount of time could it read accurately? if so what i'd need to do in order to achieve this? Any help is welcome!
Hi, was looking at Pinephone Pro vs. Librem 5. Seems PPP has better GPU. However Librem 5 has removable WWAN (mobile broadband) card via an m.2 slot? I don't need WWAN. I plan to establish connectivity only via USB.
I looked up these EC25 card awhile ago on alibaba. They seem to go $100 a piece. If the WWAN is soldiered on the PinePhone Pro board, is there any way I can get 5 to 10 of PPP void of the WWAN card, and at reduced cost?
As well if price is correct I'd gladly order 20 to 40 pieces without built in mic, camera too as well. What are my options?
My Quartz64 just arrived. Looks fine, I am currently waiting for some storage to boot it from as well as a SATA card for NAS.
In the mean time I wanted to fabricate (probably 3D Print) a case - but there is no open source case available and I could not find a 3D model (or technical drawings besides the connector layout) for the Quartz64 so I could design my own.
Does anyone have technical drawings or the 3D model of the board? Or is it maybe of the same dimensions as the RockPro?
I was fine up until a few days ago until I noticed that I wasn't receiving any sms messages even though I could download and upload using my sim card data.
I'm using the default phosh messaging applications and haven't really altered mobile connections in any way that could alter sms performance that I haven't already tried turning on/off in attempt of getting sms to work again.
Is this a problem with the messaging application, mmcli, lower level modem software, the physical modem, my service provider, or something else?
I can provide further information - this is all that seems immediately relevant after searching through other threads about similar issues.
Manjaro OS is booting and working remarkably well on Quartz64 model B. I can remember the early days of Pine64 and Rock64. It was a steep learning curve for developers and users. Improvements took eternity. As a desktop I find the system is very usable, albeit a bit slow in a graphics intensive browser.
Anyway I wanted to test bluetooth connectivity and performance. Both bluetooth devices were detected by Quartz and both connected to Manjaro/Quartz64. Unfortunately the sound is jittery and fragmented.
I recently bought a Pinephone Pro, and I've tried, without success, to work out where the software is to activate and operate the camera on the phone.
I've tried installing what I hoped might work from the Discover thing, but these seem to be for laptops. I have some clue about Linux, but I'm not an expert.
I've read threads from 2020 about the phone camera, and I assume they are out-of-date, so I'm at a loss as to even how to set up the basic things on the device, like privacy tools, and hardware like the camera. Can anyone point me to some quickstart guides please? I appreciate this might seem like a silly question, but I have to ask.
