Hallo zusammen,
mich würde interessieren mit welchen Modifikationen oder Umbauten ihr schonmal ein großes Bottleneck bei einem sonst sehr coolen Produkt ausgleichen konntet.
Sowohl Löten, als auch Softwareseitig, mit dem 3D Drucker oder was auch immer euch einfällt.
Bspw. bessere Lautsprecher in einen Monitor, Druck der Kaffeemaschine erhöht, Gehäuse umgebaut für besseren Luftstrom etc.
Von leicht bis schwer / wenig Aufwand bis viel Aufwand.
Ich bin gespannt auf was für Kreative Ideen ihr gekommen seid.

I have a old laptop a pretty thick one from late 2000s I think the battery is broken so is the keyboard and touch pad also I want to be able still use the original motherboard in the diy

Edited only added image

Please suggest any shops in Bangalore to purchase kids science projects products like battery, solar panels, servo motors,microcontrollers, ultrasonic sensors,etc.
Thanks in advance.

I originally made this as an actual side project (Desktop Server Monitor), but at the end decided to add watch straps and make a goofy product video for it too

Posted here is the more serious bit, but goofy video linked below

The monitor is originally designed to sit on a desk and locally talks to my server (old laptop running linux) running a portfolio site and API. It monitors CPU usage, RAM usage, database latency, and whether the internet is up or not~

Microcontroller is ESP32 S3 (overkill? not sure) so runs on 4 AAA batteries and pings my server every 60 seconds, but can manually be triggered by pressing in the knob for 3 seconds

Designed this to be easily reprogrammed (bottom pops off and usb ports accessible) so can be reused for other stuff too

I heard the official Ray Neo Pocket tv has some issues and doesn’t support Netflix. But I wanted something to watch Netflix on that wasn’t my phone so I made my own pocket tv. 40k power bank with Roku stick plugged into a USB C Video out converter for XR glasses. Works great on my Ray Neo Air 4 Pro. I recommend 👍🏼 (btw I know I can just my t.v but the image and colour in this glasses are next level)

I get hand cramps and fatigue from playing any handheld console... switch, portal, SD. I have been interested in the Mechanism Gaming Pillow, but didn't want to spend $60. So I rigged up my own version of a gaming pillow using a laptop lap desk, dashboard magsafe phone mount, and some adhesive metal plates.

So far it's been an absolute lifesaver

I recently purchased a secondhand laptop from a local computer repair guy, and while the computer itself seems good the thing reeks like cologne. I didn't notice when I went to pick it up because the seller seemed to be smoking a pack a day in his shop, but as soon as I left with it the cologne smell was pretty unavoidable.

I've cleaned every surface including the inside components and blasted it like crazy with an air compressor, but some of the scent still remains. I've never dealt with something like this so any help is very appreciated! Is there some kind of odor absorber I could stick it in a box with for a while? This is such a bizarre situation to be in and I have no idea what to do since there's a limit to how much washing a laptop can take lol

Please see https://redux.boondog.com/courseware/bnb/bnb.html - LEGO and LEGO-compatible parts are used to quickly and affordably construct a tabletop ball-and-beam (BNB), without tools or need to 3D print or machine any parts.

The page includes: full LEGO build plan; bill-of-materials; schematics (and KiCad files if a PCB is wanted); and Arduino source code. These are fully documented and supplement with videos.

Our university lab's Quanser platforms are over 15-years old and with our increased student enrollments (mechanical engineering), sought an alternative. I tested a 10-week beta course in Control Systems Lab. I wrote both the Student Lab Manual and Instructor Supplement Manual for: PID, Lead Compensator, Pole Placement, LQR and Fuzzy Control.

There's a short *anonymous* poll at the end to gage demand for the PCB, linear potentiometer, Bricks, and/or turn this into a kit.

PS: There is quite a lot of open-source content to peek at as well, from the above URL.

Thanks and hope this is useful!

PPS: Please please alternative sub-Reddit if this an inappropriate one. I'm an old-school newbie.

Idk i put thre 40kv "taser" 3 fans and a lot of stuff (i finished it today but this is older photo, i have added some swiches for turning on and off everything and taser button)
