Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I'm pretty surethats how I broke it. I factory reset it 9 times INA row then the factory reset button stopped working.

A reset sometimes needs the button held depressed for a while, 10-30 seconds.

Tangentially related: we've got an electric sit/stand desk that sometimes needs the controller resetting, but the only way to do so is to unplug it and wait for the capacitors to discharge, which takes at least 12 hours or so. I wonder if I can just add a push button and a resistor... 30 seconds is annoying, but would be a huge upgrade from can't-move-desk-until-tomorrow...

Crickey 12 hours, that’s interesting as residual current would normally be drawn after power removed. Depending on the voltage on the capacitor a resistor would discharge it. Make sure it’s not pulling too much discharge current if you try that.
