Pls help I can't into electronics
The terminal should test @ 12V
Set it to the 'V' setting with the straight line above the V (DC direct voltage)
Make sure the red and black leads go to Low Voltage and COM
Though polarity doesn't matter much here; the absolute value should read somewhere in the range of 12.0V +/- 0.5 or so
amidointhisright
Yup
Nice Harbour Freight centech meter 😃 I approve
Eh? That's a $2 Chinkmeter.
I know, 'cause I have one.
Or free
It works
I only use it to check for continuity and sometimes voltages, so it certainly does the trick.
How just put the two leads into the screw terminal going to the extruder
And see what the voltage reads
12.5V
Well
how viable are chinese solar cells?
Guess that wasn't the problem them ffs
@myuutsu last time i checked they were world leader on the manufacturing and marketing them ?
Series of solar panels together
far as i know the process is quite toxic ***
no no no
Combine many together
ahh
Try to go for 2A+
for china stuff.. err i think the company name was Suntech/solartech or something
For bonus make sure the psu is also outputting 12V and if not calibrate it
then there was some taiwanese company named neo solar power
But yeah time to open a case to get a replacement extruder head
@shadowedROM ye I opened a ticket at Gb
So it needs to be in parallel
For 5V, whatever A
I'd like to be able to charge some power banks in emergency
like this, but not so much
cheaper probly to get somekind of basic kit
15-30w
and get charge controller for it to input that current
