  1. Hello Everybody, I recently updated my motherboard/cpu on my PC. Prior to this, my Xbox controllers had a stable bluetooth connection and never ran issues into disconnecting. However, I am now experiencing the issue. Searching online, I found out that it could be a variety of things. This included updating drivers, which I have since done, as well as uninstalling NVIDIA G-Force, which I have also done. The main thing to check was the controller's firmware which was also updated. I have also forgotten the controllers using device manager and reconnected. Still, I am having the same unstable connection. I never ran an issue like this prior to the motherboard changes so I know that the controllers are totally fine. The PC is in the exact same location, in the exact same case. I have absolutely no clue what is going on. Any suggestions?
  2. Hello everybody, thank you for your responses. I tried it with just one 8-pin and it seems fine! I'll be testing it for a bit before I do anything but if it's stable then its fine! I put my PC together outside the case first and it seems good. Time to move it in! Thank you all
  3. Hello everybody, I recently purchased the GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS ULTRA LGA 1200 motherboard and Intel i5 11600k along with other stuff like ram etc. I am upgrading from a fairly old machine but my PSU is still great (EVGA 700 80+ Gold). My motherboard requires two 8-pin connectors to even turn on (per Gigabyte documentation). However, my PSU only has one 8-pin connector. Is there anyway to still run this machine or should I switch out my PSU or motherboard. If I should switch them out, which would you guys suggest I switch? The motherboard or the PSU.
  4. So recently I was asked to program a Redboard in an effort to make a thermal sensor and have it record data onto a microSD card. I have connected the shield onto the RedBoard and have verified the code using the Arduino software. Here is the whole code: // include the SD library: #include <SPI.h> #include <SD.h> // set up variables using the SD utility library functions: Sd2Card card; SdVolume volume; SdFile root; const int chipSelect = 4; void setup() { // Open serial communications and wait for port to open: Serial.begin(9600); while (!Serial) { ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only } Serial.print("\nInitializing SD card..."); // we'll use the initialization code from the utility libraries // since we're just testing if the card is working! if(!card.init(SPI_HALF_SPEED, chipSelect)){ Serial.println("initialization failed...Things to check:"); Serial.println("* is a card inserted?"); Serial.println("* is your wiring correct?"); Serial.println("* did you change the chipSelect pin to match your shield or module?"); return; } else { Serial.println("witing is correct and a card is present."); } // print the type of card Serial.print("\nCard type: "); switch (card.type()) { case SD_CARD_TYPE_SD1: Serial.println("SD1"); break; case SD_CARD_TYPE_SD2: Serial.println("SD2"); break; case SD_CARD_TYPE_SDHC: Serial.println("SDHC"); break; default : Serial.println("Unknown"); } // Now we will try to open the 'volume'/'partition' - it should be FAT16 or FAT32 if(!volume.init(card)) { Serial.println("Could not find FAT16/FAT32 partition. \nMake sure you've formatted the card"); return; } // print the type and size of the first FAT-typ volume uint32_t volumesize; Serial.print("\nVolume type is FAT"); Serial.println(volume.fatType(), DEC); Serial.println() ; volumesize = volume.blocksPerCluster(); // clusters are collections of blocks volumesize *= volume.clusterCount(); // we'll have a lot of clusters volumesize *= 512; // SD card blocks are always 512 bytes Serial.print("Volume size (bytes): "); Serial.println(volumesize); Serial.print("Volume size (Kbytes): "); volumesize /= 1024; Serial.println(volumesize); Serial.print("Volume size (Mbytes): "); volumesize /= 1024; Serial.println(volumesize); Serial.println("\nFiles found on the card (name, date and size in bytes): "); root.openRoot(volume); // list all files in the card with date and size root.ls(LS_R | LS_DATE | LS_SIZE); } void loop() { } However by the time I look at the serial monitor i get the message: Initializing SD card...initialization failed...Things to check: * is a card inserted? * is your wiring correct? * did you change the chipSelect pin to match your shield or module? Please help, I am new to coding and programming in general so I am not sure what is happening and assuming that it might be a hardware issue.
  5. So I want to purchase a laptop that'll last me through college and my final year of high school. I have since narrowed it down to either the dell xps 13 2015 or the macbook pro 2015. I prefer a Windows laptop since my minor in college will be software engineering and so it'd be easier. However, I would also like a macbook because I don't have to be constantly worried about viruses as much. (Yes I know macs can still get viruses but it's not as common). I'm wondering what you guys think? Are there any other laptops you guys recommend?
  6. I've been trying to but CM isn't allowing me even if I choose the "don't update CM recovery" (which replaces twrp with the CM recovery)
  7. I have been able to work it (was using an older version of osx) but I haven't been able to remove CM Recovery do you happen to know how to?
  8. So I want to install oxygen os on my opo. However, when I run any command with ./adb, I get the message "Illegal instruction: 4" not sure why it's happening but can somebody help me with it? and what does that even mean? FYI I'm using a mac that's running osx lion and how can I install it?
  9. So I recently updated to Oxygen OS since I prefer the close to stock android experience. However, I'm not receiving any of the Oxygen updates or any of the Lollipop updates that have been pushed. Does anybody else have the same problem? How can I fix it? And if I can't how can I switch to cm12s instead?
  10. I also tried to download the iso onto the mac and then transfer it over but it only lets me burn it onto a dvd drive
  11. It lets me download the tool only. SO i tried it but my computer isn't letting me run it. When trying to open it it says to restart the computer which I've done 3 times already to no avail. Rufus isn't reading my USB either so...
  12. okay sounds good I'll try it out right now (Worried about the serial number thought)
