Ubquiti M3/M5 remote reset fix
These radios are know to be flakey when powered via a real POE switch with 24v converters. Removing this diode fixes the issue.

The second revision, 2024-05-12 of the board. I discovered an error in the datasheet of the MAX3185 where it has pin 16 and 13 swapped. Other than this, it works as intended. I will have to respin the PCB and try again in another week 🙁

Why loads on unused multicoupler/wilkinson divider ports are so very important.
Просмотров 269Год назад
It’s common for me to see these ports left unterminated at many locations. This is a quick demo with a vna snowing how this effects the input return loss. If you’re using a precision matched pre amplifier, leaving them unterminated will negatively affect performance.
Transfer switch for parallel generators
Просмотров 2 тыс.Год назад
This shows a novel way to parallel two predator 9500 inverter generators safely and connect to load via a service rated whole house transfer switch. Note this will not work with other non inverter generators as they cannot self synchronize.
Why a 208/240v UPS doesn’t give 120v
Просмотров 361Год назад
Recently I bought a new UPS (an APC SRT6KXLT) to run my computer and routers off 240v rather than 120v. Initially some probing with a voltmeter showed 120v between ground and both outputs. As this made no sense, I researched it and found out why. The ups battery negative is tied to its neutral internally, and this causes some strange reference voltages when using typical US residential split ph...
