@konichiwakitty Does the hole look likes its part of the cable run? Wherever the cable comes out inside (probably next to the fuse board) would be my first guess. Also depending on the age the cavity wall might be as far as they got, or even wanted to get!

@davefarley77 Scarily that's the abbreviated version of what was said to me by an employer once.

@davefarley77 GIT? No, we use dropbox

[Oliver LC @oliverlclark]

@pinski1_ Hope you've got a non contact voltage detector (voltstick) to check that's dead!

[Oliver LC @oliverlclark]

@Jenny_Alto Could you use one with welded tabs instead?

[Oliver LC @oliverlclark]

@konichiwakitty Super awesome! Hope moving in and setting up goes smoothly

[Oliver LC @oliverlclark]

@Jenny_Alto You've mentioned elsewhere it is a Samsung phone. We've just figured out with a new samsung they might use the wireless charging coil as the NFC antenna. Try presenting the centre of the back of the phone to the reader. Completely unintuitive if that is the case

@sad_electronics Not quite, it's 4 alkaline batteries. Nominally 6v but new alkalines can be over that for a short time. If prefer not pre-regulate as if like to run down to the ldo dropout limit and use as much of the battery as possible. Was looking at dc-dc but iq is often way too high

[Oliver LC @oliverlclark]

@sad_electronics If only it had a higher vin this would be perfect for a work project. I need >6.5v which seems to limit my options. That ultra low dropout is amazing though!

@GregDavill I've seen engraving panels used for quite a good effect. They could be engraved on rotary CNC or laser cutter, some are really quite thin and I think one already has sticky back applied.

@tomfleet As far as I'm aware, the pink stuff (foam and bubblewrap mostly) is dissipative. It doesn't shield the device from static shock but it does avoid the device building up a charge itself.

@simon_nuttall Hats off to you for staying in the oven so long!

[Oliver LC @oliverlclark]

@simon_nuttall How long did you stay at the top? I'd swear the temperature difference is larger than that at the peak of that thing.

[Oliver LC @oliverlclark]

@tomfleet @lukeweston Tastes quite chemically on its own if memory serves correctly...

[Oliver LC @oliverlclark]

@CalMsLab @AislerHQ I haven't looked into the Pico w too much. What problem is this trying to solve? Too high quiescent current on regulator or a chip that doesn't sleep in a low enough state for your liking? I assume this will interrupt on of the voltage rails?

[Oliver LC @oliverlclark]

@gsuberland Oh I see! That makes sense. Assuming it isn't encrypted hopefully its a simple fix then

[Oliver LC @oliverlclark]

@tomfleet @tablatronix Let us know if you do end up going in for one. Might be able to share on shipping

[Oliver LC @oliverlclark]

@tablatronix This is far more tempting then it should be. If shipping to the UK is cheap enough or we can group the shipping too I'd be up for it

[Oliver LC @oliverlclark]

@pinski1_ Only 30 minutes? Doing well then!
