Usually these problems are caused by the throttle setting on the Tx not being low enough at switch-on. Can you increase throttle throw in the Tx programming to perhaps110%? (and ensure minimum trim at switch on) Could you try the ESC on a servo tester with a visual display of the timings? like this . so you can see (if it works) the point at which the esc thinks the throttle is set to idle. I doubt you have smoked the ESC, you don't normally want two different supplies to anything electronic but as they should both be pretty much the same value there is only a very small chance damage will occur.

How many minutes?......a few gazillion? 🙂

No... can't help as not built one but Pichler is a large German manufacturer and they do claim 'product responsibility' on their web site. https://pichler.de/?suche=fokker&seite=2 and https://pichler.de/?jtl_token=ae8e56e5b22173e7f365c87ded0974e0401e97cda2321bb738296186c4a4a928&sp_additional_mail=&suchausdruck=Albatros

Where is the fun in that though Phil? Considering the microwave was pumping out 800watts and the scanner showed only a very low signal (sort off) I don't think the shielding was doing a bad job... about the same as standing in front of your wifi router or having your mobile pressed up against the side of you head for hours at a time ( not that anybody on this illustrious forum would be doing such a thing!)🙂

The replacement part wasn't a 1:6th scale vickers was it? 🙂

Thats funny.. I posted a link to a short youtube video I made of my microwave leaking but it doesn't appear to be showing up here yet 10 views have been made???? Where did I post it I wonder? Here is the link youtube video

Very curious! Have you tried a different 9v battery?. Is it a primary 9v sort ie a duracell or similar or is it one of these li-ion 9v batteries? Perhaps, if it is one of the li-ion types, you have one which is actually 7.4v dressed up as a 9v with a dodgy boost regulator that is electrically noisy. 🤷‍♂️ I think the microwaves magnetron operates on 2.4GHz......

Electric Screwdriver, 22000 RPM 😵 Glad you got it fixed.

.........calling doctor...BEEP.... to the ...BEEP... stat! (the other side of the encounter!)

This popped up in my Youtube feed today. I'm sure some will find it interesting as a historical record of the crucial developments in radio signals during a dark period of history.

! reckon you will find a bog standard mabuchi 540 inside.....cheap as chips. If you decide to replace rather than repair I can recommend the Parkside one although it is a bit bigger than the minicraft one but the table is inclinable and it has speed control.

For me today it has manifested itself for the first time as slow to load pictures. The text normally appears instantly but the images take 5 -10 seconds. Just once had the 'server down' message, and just now a - 500 Internal Server Error nginx

I'm afraid I have a much lower opinion of the importance of 'security updates' than most seem to. Are we really living in a virtual world where there are teams of Russian hackers queuing up to steal your machine uptime to mine bitcoin? I don't think so. In my opinion your Windows 10 installation will be perfectly useable for years to come, in just the same way that there are still lots of Win7 users out there. I would just keep passwords off the internal HDD ( keep them on a flash drive) and let Windows defender do its thing (or in your case BT/EE.) TPM2 is short for Trusted Platform Module and is an encryption standard for your computers boot sector firmware, its mission is to protect the boot process to prevent a malicious piece of software called a 'rootkit' from being installed during boot. Secure boot is just the option in your machines bios to enable TPM. The processor not being supported is just Microsoft trying to increase its potential user base. Wasn't there recently an announcement about Microsoft relaxing its TPM requirement for Win11?

Hi Peter, I think I would be looking at some form of ESP32 running a sketch employing the Accelstepper library. There is a sample sketch called ProportionalControl in the examples from that library that would make a good starting point. ``` // ProportionalControl.pde // -*- mode: C++ -*- // // Make a single stepper follow the analog value read from a pot or whatever // The stepper will move at a constant speed to each newly set posiiton, // depending on the value of the pot. // // Copyright (C) 2012 Mike McCauley // $Id: ProportionalControl.pde,v 1.1 2011/01/05 01:51:01 mikem Exp mikem $ #include <AccelStepper.h> // Define a stepper and the pins it will use AccelStepper stepper; // Defaults to AccelStepper::FULL4WIRE (4 pins) on 2, 3, 4, 5 // This defines the analog input pin for reading the control voltage // Tested with a 10k linear pot between 5v and GND #define ANALOG_IN A0 void setup() { stepper.setMaxSpeed(1000); } void loop() { // Read new position int analog_in = analogRead(ANALOG_IN); stepper.moveTo(analog_in); stepper.setSpeed(100); stepper.runSpeedToPosition(); } ``` A NEMA17 is a hefty motor and a TB6600 is a hefty driver to drive a throttle! What vehicle is this for? Anyhow, wiring is pretty simple Just add the pot wiper to A0, maybe add a 5V buck regulator to drive the ESP from the main power line .....

I'm sorry you took it that way, it was not written with a negative connotation. fanboy (plural fanboys) (fandom slang, often derogatory) A male fan who is obsessive about a particular subject (especially, something or someone in popular entertainment media). If I had meant it to be derogatory I would have placed a derogatory adjective in front of the noun. anyhoo.........
