Uh that is unfortunate :/ battery protection circuits do not usually care about capacity directly, but just about max currents (which is usually related to capacity), so… unless you need a lot of current, get a 2A limiter and you should be good.

Try not to short anything else, like the battery terminals though! It may weld stuff into a continuous short and start a fire.

Keep a sand bucket nearby, just in case :)

That looks like a battery protection PCB, yeah. It usually does three things:

• over voltage protection
• undervoltage protection
• overcurrent protection
• reverse polarity protection

Bypassing it would be a bad idea, but it’s also pretty rare they fail. Maybe it’s just in undervoltage protection mode. Try to hook up your variable power supply with 4.2V and a 50-100mA current limit to the battery tabs (check polarity!) and see if the cell takes current. Above 3.6V the battery protection should lift and you should see voltage on the battery output terminals.

By the way take a look at dockform for docker deploys, it’s something I’m keeping an eye on since I use sops to encrypt secrets.

Last I heard he was in the space-time continuum, and may or may not be missing a couch…

Back to classics: I’m listening to “The moon is a harsh mistress” by Heinlein. After that I’ll go back to the Terry Pratchett saga, which definitely scratches the Douglas Adams itch

I liked all books in the series, but found the ending a bit disappointing..

Man, getting accepted by Polaris was fun!

With displays like these, it’s either parallel or SPI. Try to find a chip in the kapton circuit, that is the actual display driver.

Try to find out the FPC pinout, there should be two pins for backlight, find out of there’s any GND, etc… my gut says this is some kind of SPI based controller, 24 pins is too little for a parallel one.

The “I know a little german” joke kills me every time :D

Wow, this looks really nice! I would pair it with a cool dungeon level underneath ☺️

I settled on OpenProvider.com (Netherlands). If you have lots of domains you can get reseller access and buy domains at no markup, basically.

The only annoying thing is that you need to add money to the account instead of simply paying for the domains.
