I am a retired computer programmer. I wrote a popular hotel reservation package called ImagInn back in the 90's. I got my start in computers with an Apple II. I later on got very interested in UNIX development. I also wrote a popular game called Clone Invader.
My hobbies, I love computers and radio controlled aircraft. I flew helicopters for many years starting in the mid 1970's, built a Heathkit Pack 17 radio and eventually started flying fixed wing. My primary interest today is sailplanes. I fly several 3.5 meter models like the Pulsar and Grafas Maxi. I use OpenTX with FRSky and RadioMaster.

A big thank you from Arizona. Mine was headed for the landfill.
Why can't we buy testers with a load?
That's the mystery question I would love to know too!! It's cheap enough for the manufacturer to add a resister into that circuit but for some odd reason they don't.
Hi Gary. Thank you for the awesome clock. I am facing little issue. I am from India. And my time zone is +5:30. So what do I enter. I tried entering 5.3 In serial monitor it is showing ntp time 30min behind my time. How do I fix this. More over there is no wether info showing in the monitor. It says no wether info found Also please help if this will work with P4 led matrix. What changes do i need to make to make it work with P4 board
The library I use NTPClient does support time zones with 30 minute adjustments. What you need to do is manually edit the NTPClientLib.cpp, line 100. (_minutesOffset = minutes;). Try changing that to _minutesOffset = 30; Then recompile. Someone else had mentioned that to me and I believe he said it worked. The P4 board question, I am not a hardware guy. That code was Harry's, I'm not sure how or what the differences are with these LED boards.
@@GaryQuiring Thank you Gary for your suggestion, i did the changes with the NTPClientLib.cpp line 100 and now it looks like it is ok, however i am not able to get any wether updates for the location i privided kindly help to fix this 20:57:31.675 -> 20:57:31.675 -> 20:57:32.117 -> Weather: Unable to retrieve JSON data 20:57:37.884 -> Writing config file .... 20:57:37.943 -> Finished writing config 20:57:38.014 -> ���y�Setup begin 20:57:39.362 -> Trying WiFi Connect:George_2876 20:57:39.400 -> .........success! 20:57:43.533 -> IP Address is: 192.168.1.3 20:57:43.698 -> Reading data from: api.open-meteo.com 20:57:43.891 -> HTTP/1.1 200 OK 20:57:43.891 -> Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2024 15:27:45 GMT 20:57:43.953 -> Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 20:57:44.005 -> Transfer-Encoding: chunked 20:57:44.026 -> Connection: close 20:57:44.026 -> 20:57:44.026 -> 215 20:57:44.026 -> 20:57:44.513 -> TimeZone for NTP.Begin:+5.3 20:57:44.545 -> Got NTP time: 00:00:00 00/00/1970 20:57:46.052 -> Time Sync error: NTP server not reachable 20:57:58.997 -> Got NTP time: 00:00:00 01/01/1970 20:57:59.228 -> Got NTP time: 20:58:00 14/07/2024 20:57:59.544 -> 24h Sync Enabled 21:00:30.830 -> Reading data from: api.open-meteo.com 21:00:31.387 -> HTTP/1.1 200 OK 21:00:31.387 -> Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2024 15:30:32 GMT 21:00:31.387 -> Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 21:00:31.387 -> Transfer-Encoding: chunked 21:00:31.387 -> Connection: close 21:00:31.387 -> 21:00:31.387 -> 215 21:00:31.387 ->
Well done!
Audio is on, encryption is off, and the Google Home app shows "loading" forever...
Yeah it no longer works, Google is constantly changing/breaking things.
Thanks for doing this video. I have probably replaced about 5 out of 12 fixtures in the last 14 years and they are hard to find now. Going to start doing this instead.
Hi Gary Quiring, is it possible to add a DTH11 temperature sensor? to see the temperature in the house.
It's probably doable, there is a library for the DTH11 sensor. D3 is not being used on this project so the sensor could be hooked up to it. The problem is where to display that additional data. It would have to flip/flop between the internet weather data and the in-house data on the display and some sort of indicator would have to show what data it's displaying - indoor or internet.
@@GaryQuiring switched with the weather on the Internet, and the letter C served as an indicator, it was possible without it
Hi Gary, I’ve tried repeatedly to set a failsafe on my GR-18L with gyro, can you outline your process for receiver failsafe? Do I need to upgrade the firmware?
It's mentioned at 12:24 minutes into the video that you have to let the RX be on for 30 or so seconds and then set it to Receiver. Firmware versions should be the most current and also your multi-module needs to be current firmware.
@@GaryQuiring thanks mate
Great video. I spent 3 hours on line looking for a new rotary switch. I'm going to check the safety switch to see if that's the problem and go from there.Thanks very much.
I have the same model (OLED65C9PUA) with only 1800 hours and there are dead pixels on all 4 edges. I only just noticed it recently. It not as bad as yours, but I guess it's only a matter of time.
Since making the video I learned the number of hours used is apparently not the main cause of the dead pixels. It's more related to the age of the panel on or off. Since making the video I have noticed dead pixels along the top edge. Amazon had a great deal on the 77C3 for $1724 so I bought it. My 65" is now in the bedroom which gets zero use. It will be interesting to see if the dead pixels increase even without using it. I will turn it on after a few months and see what it looks like.
thanks, now my servos are setting from analog to digital!
Thanks so much! My Genesis worked just like yours. Thank you!
Tos bad one
Excellent video. Exactly as pictured. Igniter works great now. Thanks very much!
Thank you for publishing this morphing clock. You have removed a few setbacks and fine-tuned it to a perfect clock. Thank you for your time and efforts.❤❤
Witam. Ech...... Tv LG C2 55' oled evo 4x dead black piksel ......😢
Can we make this clock with max7219 dot matrix, without weather. I need time, am:pm, day, date, month, year
These are covered under the lifetime warranty and Weber would have sent you new ones for free.
There is no lifetime warranty on the burner tubes, it's 10 years. My grill is 12 years old. Have you actually tried to use their warranty, it takes numerous calls and is very frustrating. Not worth the hassle. www.bbb.org/us/il/palatine/profile/bbq-supplies/weber-stephen-products-llc-0654-14008294
Yes mine I over 10 years old. Just called yesterday. Sent a picture of the flame color and they are sending me new ones. They are also sending new triangular shaped covers all at no cost. Burners, grate, and the lid and bottom half are all covered in the lifetime warranty. Gave them the serial number and that’s all they needed. Was very easy process.
Awesome! Is there a way to DIY a bigger screen and run off the same board?
The resolution would be an issue, it would get pixelated. If they open sourced the code then we could build a bigger one.
There hasn't been a reliable technology since CRT tv in this industry. Most LCD TVs have a life of 2-4 years before they start to produce panel issues. It's rare of find a 5+ year old LCD TV without any problems. In contrast, CRT TVs can easily run 20+ years with minor maintenance and repairs.
I have a 12 yr old Visio LCD TV and a 16yr old Panasonic plasma with no issues.
Thank you very much! The calibration was unclear and thus I was stuck! Great Video!
Still not working for me 😢😢
Would this correct difficulty entering destination address?
I'm not sure what you asking? Is it an address you cannot find with the current map or do you have issues overall entering any address?
@@GaryQuiring While trying to enter either Alpha or numeric entries after passing beyond state and city, most of thekeyboard grays out
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Ordered the same parts from Amazon, was able to remove the set screws thanks to a little WD-40, and replace WITHOUT taking the whole grille apart!! Whole operation took just about 20 minutes.... Thanks again!
I bought the same graupner tx years ago thinking i was upgrading to a quality bit of gear. So many things bothered me about that radio and it certainly was not a quality bit of gear. Getting my planes back in order and i cannot comprehend how much they want for receivers... My worst RC buy... I see Radiomaster is the new thing and i can see why.
Same here, in the early years when it first came out it was a decent deal at Tower Hobbies with the coupons and Super Saver club. Then Graupner got crazy with their over-priced hardware and lack of support/fixing bugs, most of us cleared out to something else. I still use their receiver with the RadioMaster, it's stable.
This is a great video on replacing the Weber Genesis igniter. Hope I run across Gary on some other DIY project I encounter.
Amazing thanks very much for the great help!!!
I`m hear just to replace the battery but am now prepared when the time comes when this will be needed.Thanks for including the deflectors in the post,super helpful so I ordered them in the package deal that also included flavorizer bars.This grill was gifted to me by my sister so I`m quite sure they've never been replaced.Looking forward to seeing the performance improving.Nice job on the video too.
My 55” C1 has now done this and I’ve only had it for 2 years and it dosnt even have 1000 hours on it yet. All around the edge of the screen black dots and I paid 2k for the tv unreal. I was thinking of dropping OLED if this is what the pixels are going to do freaking die like this I mine as well go with a QLED and take advantage of the brighter colours. I have a 8 year old Vizio set it’s LED 1080p still works flawlessly no dead pixels. But my 2k dollar tv I’ve had less then 3 years is failing.
The misconception is many think it's related to how many hours you use the OLED, it's not. It's the overall age of the panel, on or off. I am also very disappointed I spent so much $$ on this TV to have it start failing so quickly.
With my unit, it wouldnt turn on after being on holiday for a week so I stuck it on a radiator to warm up, I plugged it in when it got to over 20 degrees centigrade. From this information is it possible to diagnose what fault it has? I'd like to get it sold on and get a newer unit...
I would try the resistor fixes. If you are handy soldering it's an easy job.
@@GaryQuiring will do that, thanks Gary
Fuck google
So glad you made this vid. These trimmers are best I’ve ever owned. Now we can make em last forever
Thanks, I also love this trimmer. No more waiting at the local barber.
Thinking of doing the same thing; but wondering if just moving the switches physically and resoldering to the wires already in place wouldn't have worked also? Thanks for the tip on the plugs from Amazon.
Awesome project. Hardest part was waiting for the slow rowboat to arrive from China with the panels. Everything worked straight out of the box, now to make more permanent connections and display enclosure... Thanks for all of your hard work on this! BTW total draw for panel and ESP8266 running totals 160-190mA @5V (depending on brightness setting).
That's good to know, I thought it would draw a lot more power.
Very helpful, thank you😊
Procuren no usar un cargador de alta carga "se me acaba de quemar xD"
If you have registered your Weber grill then you can contact their customer service and they will replace the parts free if the grill is less than 10 years old.
Great video! We were able to replace the burners on our Genesis grill following your demonstration.
Fantasic!! Did you have issues with the screws holding down the burners?
@@GaryQuiring Ours were in better shape than yours luckily and came off with a socket.
good video very helpful thank you.
how do you use images from your saved gallery though?
Service robbe 53001
Best video on this category. Thanks!! How has this replacement part lasted? Any issues vs buying over priced part??
It's still working great. I won't buy weber branded replacements any longer. The aftermarket parts are much cheaper and in many cases better quality. I replaced my burner tubes about a month ago with stainless versions, big savings. I made a video for that too.
Hi Gary, looking at the wiring diagram you have here on the back of the display you have yellow labeled as esp, should that be labeled as out?
Hi Andy, you are correct, when I made the change the for the D3 wire I screwed up. Here is the updated wiring imgur.com/a/OsXNWu2
very nice 👍👍
How to see the ip address if you change the watch face
Thank you. Saved me at least half an hour. New tube from Amazon (quilimetal with screws) lit up perfectly real quick.
How did the case hold up?
It's as good as the day I bought it. That Plasti-dip is the key, it keeps the foam stiff. I don't think Home Depot has that case in stock anymore but Harbor Freight has the Apache case on sale occasionally for $25.
Have you tried installing WiFi into the Thecus 5550's mSata connector?
No
