although not a mill or lathe etc... as its a cnc setup I thought here would be best place to post just purchased this little chap, not sure what I'm going to do with it. but it was so cheap, why not...

i thought £50 for a door bell was a lot ;) open to door bell recommendations LOL

They cost me £50... For a f**king door bell

i have a complete empty cat5 cable, i put 3x separate cat5 cables in. would the distance be an issue for low voltage going to the speaker?

this is a serious post before anything thinks different ;) so we have a bliss wireless doorbell which has two receivers. when at the end of my garden in my workshop i cant hear the bell (as im not the house) and its signal doesnt reach to the end of the garden. could anyone come up with a...

so many great youtube vids on this

you cant beat buying new tools, if you use them just once or not.

just been speaking to this seller about buying this machine. 15 station atc, single phase, 1000mm by 850mm working area. think it has a 30000rpm spindle, ticks all my boxes. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CNC-Milling-Machine-Datron-M3/362418722251?hash=item5461d6d5cb:g:wO4AAOSwuMRbfF0t

I struggle to manage a f**king BTHH

pfff seems like a lot of faff. my main hub is a bthh6 then I have two separate tp-link routers.

Thanks I shall Google. I assume this is doable on all wireless routers?

so... when you go into say a big office complex they have multiple wireless routes around the building so the whole building has wifi coverage. but you only enter the password once and from then on your phone will just switch between them all so you have coverage. how would you do this at home...

Um standard lens, can't remember off the top of my head

my brain isn't wired that way sadly :( ill stick to cnc machines. what I was getting at was cos it wasn't taught at school I wasn't interested in it. its only of recent years its become of huge interest, I just wish I had time among all my other hobbies to add electronics

my dragons den idea - PM discussions only sorry ;) I hear what your saying, I suppose it depends how fun the project is really. ive no idea if you will find it exciting? I hated school, didn't do home work or study, my best grade was a D. I just wanted to leave and get a job, so that's what I did.

this forum is full of very interesting and intelligent people, if anyone needs a good electronics project just drop me a PM ;)

I love electronics, the things you can do these days are amazing. the things people do are amazing. sadly I know f**k all about electronics and coding :( when I was at school electronics and coding wasn't a thing, it was do you want to be a fireman, policeman or doctor when you leave school...

sounds same as mine my house was built in 1973, so its properly built from brick ;) got a HH6 and coverage is shocking.

i like sausages

some unbelievable home machining, just love s**t like this I cannot wait to get my workshop sorted and get machining again

£15 for a brand new key, is it worth trying to repair a broken one?

no I purchased brand new ones

keys are fully coded, so everything works.

agreed, £25 is nothing to have two keys programmed properly

renotech chelsmford on wed i took two new uprogrammed keys to them and they coded them for £25 for the pair. great service got my blank keys here https://www.fobfix.com/collections/renault

can I hi-jack a little. so ive got a brand new BT HH and ive ran a cat5 cable to my workshop. I need something to go on the workshop end to provide internet. I used to use an old BT HH 4, but are there any better solutions out there?

if the crimp doesnt work, add some solder to the top of the connector where the wire comes in.

i wouldnt have bothered with crimper, those ends/connectors are so small i normally find the wire just slides out once crimped. a drop of solder normally does the job just perfect. but seriously if you have the new battery already, cut the old wires off the battery, cut as close to battery as...

were i up and running in my workshop i have a load, i could send you a couple, but they are pack away somewhere in my garage. no idea where they are without emptying my whole garage. they are standard connetors, RS do them. other option cut the old wires and just join new wires to old wires...
