I've just unfollowed a bucket load of folks. No offence; I'm following most of you on the Fedi or B*Sky anyway, and if you're not on either I'd love to see you there instead.

@WeAreRSGroup You wind the metal prongs apart until they span the contacts of a vehicle battery and the display shows the amount of current that flows through the calibrated metal ruler.

@_ArunPolice @sussex_police I see sx is on the Blue... social media site, but not monitored 24/7. Why not?

Many are leaving X for there, and others avoid the Meta-owned (FB / Insta / Freds) platforms for 'reasons'.

Will you please monitor all social platforms on which you operate.

@Stuho1mez @tynemouthsw I replaced all the components related to the charge pump, even rewinding the coil (it had toasty wiring), but it was unstable and blew a new set of lower RAM, so I gave up and fitted an SRAM board, the buck/boost for 12V and a Murata 3-pin drop-in switcher for the 5V regulator.

@Stuho1mez @tynemouthsw And in my case on an Issue 2 board, even the flippin' speaker. The 12V circuit was replaced with a buck/boost.

@WeAreRSGroup Forensic scientist or stage lighting.

I'm now an IT Services Manager/consultant, after a stint in Electronic Engineering then computer systems and networks.

I did do stage sound and lighting FX for local drama groups though.
