05:46 AM rifraf: neatest servo controller ever
12:45 PM rue_mohr: heh, but where does the power go in?
12:46 PM rue_mohr: but that IS cute!
01:53 PM aandrew: rifraf: that link doesn't come up for me
01:54 PM rue_mohr: small aliexpress board
01:54 PM aandrew: https://ibb.co/cSGybQ1B
01:54 PM rue_mohr: the pcb is basically the size of a pot
01:54 PM rue_mohr: 3 pins for - + signal for a servo
01:55 PM rue_mohr: but you would need to make a harness that injects power
01:55 PM aandrew: it's weird, the site momentarily shows me what looks like 3 encoders then jumps to the 404
01:56 PM rue_mohr: try an online web browser or stand by
01:56 PM rue_mohr: trying to... post... an image...
01:56 PM aandrew: ... online web browser?
01:57 PM aandrew: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801430030238.html looks a little like that but without the knob, and 3 of them
01:57 PM rue_mohr: yea, online web browsers are a thing, you can just google them up
01:57 PM rue_mohr: http://media.ruemohr.org/images/foo.jpg
01:58 PM rue_mohr: that took some work
01:58 PM aandrew: I assume you just parallel the power with a y adapter?
01:59 PM rue_mohr: the online web browsers can take todays protocol-trend-for-a-day and render it for you in whatever browser your using
01:59 PM aandrew: interesting
01:59 PM rue_mohr: yea, but it doesn't look like it comes with that injector harness
02:00 PM rue_mohr: because if your web browser is more than 24 hours old, its not compatible with the new websites
02:00 PM rue_mohr: 2048 bit encryption and all
02:01 PM aandrew: lol it's not *that* bad
02:01 PM aandrew: hm does the same with safari too
02:02 PM aandrew: let me try proxying it through canada
02:03 PM aandrew: yeah it has something to do with shipping to us - when I change it to ship to canada it comes up just fine
