In free time I play games and going outside with a friend. Otherwise, I'm working and study.

Yeah the one I'm using is a plug-in power rated unbalanced condenser, so it's either I make a separate 5V powerbox, or (going off a post where someone put resistors in an XLR adapter) use 48V phantom power from the recorder and also figure out how to get the mic to balance

this kid asks the darnest requests ,_,

EDIT:




Well that's the gain thing settled actually ._. I'll rely on the recorder's gain.
(I'm still reading through everything you wrote ,_, thanks by the way!)

You're most welcome.

You rarely need to have a balanced connection unless you're doing long runs in an electrically noise environment (e.g. doing runs to front-of-house speakers bundled together and dressed alongside power cabling). If the mic is unbalanced, then trying to 'convert' it to a balanced connection is likely just going to add an unnecessary headache for no practical benefit.

Thank you for the insight.

Yes it was. Glad you're fully rested for now.

Congrats! Now do what @confusis just did!

We had a casual dress day at work today so naturally...

Congrats man!


Today, I am trying to distract myself from yesterday. Long story short, there is a divorce going on, I am trying to help those involved, and I don't think that I am doing a very good job of it. Right now, I am learning about PRUs, working on a TMK USB-USB Converter, and testing out streaming on Twitch.

Today I received a "GTX 1070 Mini ITX OC" from Amazon. When I opened the Gigabyte box inside a GT 730 greeted me.

Kinda pissed about this.

Haha oh man, that's awful.

I am so sorry. Thank goodness for Amazon's excellent return policy.

Upon closer inspection it looks like somebody took the time to take the barcode off a physical 1070 ITX card and stick it to this one. They also put the Gigabyte pcie and hdmi plastic dust covers onto the card.

At first I thought it was a prank by one AMD fanboy in Amazon.

But then again.. If I were that AMD fanboy, I'd have sent a Vega 56 instead of GT 730.

Or, even better, RX 580 with a letter "Future driver updates will make this card better than GTX 1070"



* disclaimer: I'm not a fanboy of both.

I think you should photoshop your potato into a sad face.

 

[cmyk78]

I don’t think I have the skills for that.

I essentially wrapped up a case design using FreeCad, not totally sold on my construction methods though so it's all subject to change. I'll have to start a thread and get some input It isn't explicitly for Project TEC though. On that front I did get to solder up a new board with the humidity sensor integrated.

Noice! If I may ask, how did you go about it? I forays into doing so with the Sheetmetal Workbench were disastrous to say the least.

Oh of course! I actually didn't use the sheet metal workbench, I instead used the part design/part workbenches to flesh out the design That let me export the 3d Object as an STL file, so now I'm setting up a render scene in Blender and seeing how well everything lines up. The current iteration is meant to be laser cut so I really ought have used the drafting workbench. I do think that I would like the design better if it were sheet metal based.
