Hello! I'm Charles! I know a little bit about a lot of stuff, usually just enough to get myself into trouble. I break things regularly, but technology is pretty resilient and I'm usually able to reach my goals anyway. Come along with me as I explore new tools, interesting problems, and never EVER let "perfect" get in the way of "done".
Thermostat Build
I wanted to integrate my RV's air conditioner into the Home Assistant automation platform that I use for other things there. I had no idea what an adventure that would end up being.

Shuttle HOT-433 - Part #1 - Back From the Scrap Bin
Просмотров 33611 месяцев назад
This is part #1 of a video series where I attempt to restore a motherboard to working order. The board in question came from RePC. It had been stripped of all its removable components, had a botched RTC clock repair attempt, and was missing most of its identifying marks. It was sold to me for $5 as scrap. It was later identified as the Shuttle HOT-433, discussed hereon Vogons. www.vogons.org/vi...
If you've already burned yourself, you should definitely consider using a soldering aid. Other than that, great video and project!
that AMIBIOS is so charming! I love the GUI, looks like it's modeled after windows 3.1? That patterned background
The CD Rom player sounds like groan tube
I haven’t a clue what the goal is or most of what is going on. But I must say, not having seen a BIOS POST or menu prior to the later 90s/early 2000s and onward I am blown away by the BIOS on your machine. Basically it makes me think/understand that our “fancy” (often clunky) UEFI graphical BIOS menus are just getting us back to where we already were. Fun stuff!
I still remember the first time I saw that American Megatrends BIOS back in the days, I was totally blown away! You can use it with a mouse as well IIRC Why this style didn't stick before coming back as UEFI, we'll never know. Maybe it needed more ROM space and manufacturers were cheap
Sorry Charles, it looks like you didn't find one after all, just some parts. Keep looking! 😏
Check your Turbo switch setting/jumper. I came across some 486 motherboards that would disable external cache when turbo was not engaged
The best treatment of an error in process, ever! The workflow is maintained while acknowledging the error so viewers aren't left grinding their teeth that the mistake (seemingly) went unnoticed. Nicely done!
Don’t know how I discovered this guy but glad I did
Not sure who told you you're supposed to grind the tip of the solder pump into the board was, but they were wrong. also.. 600F or 600C are both incorrect temperatures. Unless the solder is specifically made for low-melt, or high temp, the optimal temp for reflowing, or removing tin-lead solder is 375F / 190C. if it's lead-free solder, you would ramp the temps up towards 450F / 230C (You'll need to adjust all temps UP to compensate for additional thermal mass on the board) Proceeds to put too much solder on each and every pin, then says "i have a sense for putting the right amount on" Hint: If your solder is balling up around the joint and pin, you're putting too much solder on it.
The Hakko gun used in the video literally goes no lower than 660°F
Also, over soldering/balling, while it can definitely be an issue, really isn't a problem unless you bridge. Really feels like "too much solder" is a lot like "too much thermal paste".
