  1. Hello Guys I want to know what are your picks for routers in 2018. I recently need to ditch my current ISP router and wanted to know really whats out there. After a bit of research I still came back undesired. I am looking for a few things. This Router Needs to work Well with my Plex server Primarily. Has to be PPPoE compatible Prefer Wireless AC Has to have manageable design for utilities like Port Forwarding. No Price Range but cost effective. Gig connections. After A while of searching I came up with the Linksys WRT1900ACS: Good Overall Asus AC2900: Hits what I need but on the fence about it. Let me know your thoughts!!
  2. Thank you so much you have been a great help !!
  3. this is exactly what I was looking for thank you !!
  4. Neither what I am trying to do is make a really long password like 50 letters and when i plug my usb in it will automatically fill the password text box that I will be using to gain access to the webcite
  5. Hi guys so Ill explain what I am Trying to do. What I am trying to do is make a flash drive when plugged in it puts a line of text. What I am mainly trying to do and some people may be against this is trying to make a USB when plugged in imports a password that I set. I want to try and do this with as little interruption as possible meaning nothing is displayed on screen it's just plug it in and boom theirs your really long password. I dont know how I should go about coding this I found very little information so if someone could point me in any direction that would be greatly appreciated. If this is in the wrong topic forgive me I am sorry i dint really fins anything that directly related to what I am trying to do.
  6. Hello! I am starting to piece together a computer repair business focusing solely on house calls. I wanted to know what I should include in my kit or if anyone here does PC repair as a buisness waht do you include? Should I take Assortments or ram? Blank HD? A Flash with OS on them ? Laptop Power Cables ? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated
  7. i ended up daisy chaining 2 and making 2 separate runs
  8. As far as power there are many many options one that might work for you is making them run off a like 12v lipo battery that can discharge enough amps this way you dont have to tap into your cars power and risk draining your battery
  9. Hello guys I have been working on this project that can use ws2812 led strips to sync to audio in real time of the audio that is on the computer. that has been inspired from this youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PgFK85fIHM. Any ways a number of problems have occurred along with me being way more component knowledgeable than coding it would seem I have reached a standstill. Here are some of the problems I have run into when multiple strips are added the effect when audio is played is limited to the first strip when it detects audio it only triggers the effect on a portion of the first strip roughly about 20-80 leds after 3 strips are connected and the value in the code is changed to 900 (300leds per 5m roll) it will not respond to any of the strips and will not turn on even though i am sure there is no hardware issues as far as power supply (currently using a rigged 250w power supply) Possible fixes I think that for the strips since the effect of the strips is directly connected to the computers volume that maybe if I was to purchase an amp that this would correlate to the effect being larger across all the strips. I have 4 5m strips of these leds im going to hang around my room so i was thinking if i hard wire them into a breadboard and then share the Data pin across all other leds I could make it think that there is only one 300 led strip. The downside to this would mean that when placed around the room the start and end points per each strip would not carry over the fade effect from the last strip. not to mention i would have to run wire to each pin (GRN,POW,DATA) per each strip back to the breadboard (total of 12 individual wire runs) without putting holes in the walls. I did not make ANY of this code and merely copy pasta it to the arduino where I only changed the led amount. #include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h> #define PIN 6 #define lightCount 600 // Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip // Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid) // Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed: // NEO_RGB Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream // NEO_GRB Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream // NEO_HZ400 400 KHz bitstream (e.g. FLORA pixels) // NEO_KHZ800 800 KHz bitstream (e.g. High Density LED strip) Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(600, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800); //fadeThickness = 0; // CHANGE THICKNESS (0-10) int vol = 0; float total = 0; int fadeCol = 0; int val[25]; int volLast = 0; int fadeAmt = 0; int counter = 0; void setup() { strip.begin(); strip.show(); // Initialize all pixels to 'off' //Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { fadeCol = 0; total = 0; for (int i = 0; i < 80; i++){ counter = 0; do{ vol = analogRead(A0); counter = counter + 1; if (counter > 500){ rainbowCycle(10); } }while (vol == 0); total = total + vol; } vol = total / 80; // Serial.println(vol); vol = map(vol,20,255,0,20); if (volLast > vol) { vol = volLast - 4; } volLast = vol; fadeAmt = 0; // Serial.print(vol); for (int i = 0; i<25;i++){ if (i < vol){ strip.setPixelColor((i+25), strip.Color(0,255,0)); strip.setPixelColor((25-i), strip.Color(0,255,0)); } else if (i < (vol + 8)) { strip.setPixelColor((i+25), strip.Color(255,0,0)); strip.setPixelColor((25-i), strip.Color(255,0,0)); } else { strip.setPixelColor((i+25), strip.Color(0,0,255)); strip.setPixelColor((25-i), strip.Color(0,0,255)); } } strip.show(); } void rainbowCycle(uint8_t wait) { uint16_t i, j; for(j=0; j<256*5; j++) { // 5 cycles of all colors on wheel for(i=0; i< strip.numPixels(); i++) { strip.setPixelColor(i, Wheel(((i * 256 / strip.numPixels()) + j) & 255)); } strip.show(); delay(wait); vol = analogRead(A0); if (vol> 10) { return; } } } uint32_t Wheel(byte WheelPos) { WheelPos = 255 - WheelPos; if(WheelPos < 85) { return strip.Color(255 - WheelPos * 3, 0, WheelPos * 3); } else if(WheelPos < 170) { WheelPos -= 85; return strip.Color(0, WheelPos * 3, 255 - WheelPos * 3); } else { WheelPos -= 170; return strip.Color(WheelPos * 3, 255 - WheelPos * 3, 0); } } ANY help would Greatly I mean GREATLY be appreciated spent way to much time and effort on this
  10. Hi guys as some of you may know I have been working on an led project using ws2812 led strips and there connector is hard to come by. I wanted to know what wire i can use that will be able to supply 12v the wire is fairly small flat/round preferably fit into one of the sotter less bread boards since that is what i am using now.
  11. Thank you for taking the extra time to go out of your way to give me such a descriptive response. I look forward to doing this now and the challenges that await me. I realize that im not only fighting direct competition in my area but also HUGE companies that offer pre-built pc's.
  12. im not seeing anything on that its just the affiliate program and the new student program
  13. http://www.newegg.com/HelpInfo/NeweggStudentTerms.aspx is this it ?
