Blasphemy. And then he becomes a tube rapist right on camera. Some people have no shame. :palm: --- End quote --- If he owns it it's his right to run over it with a steam roller if he wishes. :P You might think the guy knows not what he's doing however if you check his profile he's suitably qualified and experienced to make decisions about any HW in his ownership. --- End quote --- Can I run over him with a steam roller? :-DD Seriously, yes....he has every right to do with the equipment as he pleases. I often make that same decision. Fix it or junk it? But my "junk it" is almost always after there's an attempt to fix it. And certainly not something as pristine as that hp was. |

They must have taken their medication after that, as the next model I saw was back to staid old beige or blue. |

Oh well, back to the drawing board, as it were... --- End quote --- Can you redesign so the pot is part of a divider network, easing the need for that absolute value and stability? :-// mnem :-/O --- End quote --- Hang on, I'll just give Sony a call. *imaginary phone conversation* Apparently Sony won't redesign the PS4 controller to make it easier to mod them with superior parts. Said something about not letting people make their equipment more durable as it'll dent their revenue stream... I'll just keep dosing mine with WD40 every few months. --- End quote --- If you're going to bother modding, why would you ever use a pot? Once you get your hands on a Hall-effect gimbal you'll never go back. I doubt you'll want to go aftermarket/other brands, so the popular one already HE-equipped prolly won't interest you: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QJN8ZD9 Myself, I have a harem of the best controller ever made, so pretty much a non-issue until they're so worn out they fall apart: the 2nd gen XBox360 controller. Of course, no stoopit touchpad, so not user-friendly for you on PS4. :-// EDIT: That said; the pot in most gimbals is just a voltage divider, so unless it's using one of the "speshul" 40-60° resistor tracks like some RC transmitters, you should be able to replace a 500Ω pot with a more common 1KΩ pot with very little trouble. Cheers, mnem :-/O |

Well, I finally got one! The fabled true 50ohm 1% Tektronix '012-0482-00' coax cable for my SG503. ;D Courtesy of a seller in Kyiv, Ukraine (Yep, apparently the Ukraine postal service is making a point of still running!) Found it for the cheapest price I've seen so far (but still too much, considering it's just a coax cable...), and still new in bag! :D |
