Originally posted by Jesus Christ My mom met my dad at some gym and had sex, which is how I was born.
He never had a relationship with my mother and never made any effort to be in my life.
My mom, I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with her.
I was very very very miserable in school, the environment made me feel extremely stressed out and psychotic so a few months into the 5th grade I convinced my mom to let me drop out.
At the start she tried homeschooling me but I had no desire at all to force myself to study things I wasn't interested in so I went on 4chan and TOTSE instead.
I might very well be the only person in the whole world to have spent the amount of time I have on 4chan, so I take it very personally when people call me a newfag.
Damn.
Well, I like I said, I sincerely hope you find your way.
You had a rough start, and that sucks, but you seem to be making genuine progress regardless.
Despite what 95% of folks on here will say to ridicule or dissuade you from your current path, I commend it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2019-05-17 at 3:17 AM UTC in My Ultimate Goals (15-20 years later)As some of you may know, I am a digital hoarder. I have archived emails, notes, pictures, and so on, that I have been saving since I was in my teenage years (late 90's).
Well, one little treasure I just stumbled upon is a list of goals I set for myself many years ago...
======
My Ultimate Goals:
* Become an actor
* See the entire world
* Become a millionaire
* Become famous
* Have an huge house and nice car
* Give back to the world
* Try everything once
* Be in tip-top physical and mental condition
* Reach new spiritual levels
======
Fucking L-O-L.
I'm pretty much 0 for 9. -

Originally posted by vindicktive vinny i dont mean to insult you but if it never occured to you to deploy meters, be it of multiple functions or single functioned meters when it comes to testing IOs,
then i think you shouldnt be messing with electrical stuffs. its not so much as lack of knowledge but more of a lack of logical thoughts.
idk.
Everyone has to start somewhere.
You don't think I've heard some absolutely ridiculous programming or computer science questions before?
I prefer to encourage them learning more, rather than quitting altogether.
Of course, messing around with electricity has deeper potential repercussions... Electrical shock can be fatal.
But I can't imagine testing =<12 volt wires with a multimeter being all that fatal.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by aldra 2. Why do you need an arduino if you're planning on using a raspi anyway? You know the raspi has 2 rows of GPIOs right?
Damn, well I'll be... Shit.
I have an RPi 2 right next to me and checked inside the case, and bam, right there.
And I guess I don't need to solder or anything if I have those wire "sleeves" to attach raw wire to one of the GPIO pins.
It just so happens I just bought a pack of such cables (with the "sleeve" at one end).
I bought a whole bunch of electronics stuff that I figured I may or may not need.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by tee hee hee Are the uninvited still coming around? Maybe youre doing all this for nothin…
Yeah, but less and less.
The two security cams in the back, the chiming and other sounds that go off when anyone comes too close, etc, are all having an impact (tweakers, schizos, and criminals are all scared of cameras... And if they fall into more than one of the aforementioned categories, there is a compounding effect).
Also, I've been saying "no" more and more when I get phone calls or buzzes at my door.
That being said, the buzzes at the front door are still an absolute nuisance. I need a way to intercept them, and even silence them altogether.
I hate living in an old ass building without fancy video intercom and all that. I can't know who it is until I pick up the intercom handset.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2019-05-17 at 1:40 AM UTC in Anyone here experienced with Arduino, or at least electronic circuitry more generally?AN UPDATE ON CURRENT PROJECT STATUS...
So, I have been working on this whole thing in bits and pieces here and there, but the major rate limiting step was procuring all the supplies I would need. I've got like 95% of what I need, so I've started doing some really basic RPi GPIO wiring to get a feel for it. Aside from setting up an Arduino to light an LED (well over a year ago), I have essentially zero direct experience with this kind of stuff.
Today, I set up a fresh install of Raspbian on one of my Raspberry Pi's, and set up the "hello world" of electronics projects, a (python-controlled) LED.
I'm actually pretty giddy and excited over this because, like I said, it's all kinda new to me, so it's a confidence-bolstering sanity check to see the LED actually light up when I program it to.
The next step is to play around with the USB sound adapter I got for this.
I also have a couple different relay switches to experiment with.
But before I start tampering too much with the intercom's built in wires, I want to get one last thing: Some alliGAYtor clips. That way, instead of soldering and so on, I can essentially switch things back to the way they were originally if things go terribly, terribly awry.
I will update this thread when I've made some more substantial progress.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

And he has a creative aptitude towards it that is so much more valuable than a formal designation of expertise.
Also, he's good people all around.
