One of my two smart feeders (the newest) was bumping and having problems putting
the feed to my cats. After a lot of time, I went up online and found a Reddit
post
that had very valuable information.
Some users had good luck removing the rubber bands from the spinning part of the
feeder, but the user Set-Condition-5 wrote the following:
Team, while removing the rubber guards helped, it turned out our jamming
problem was caused by the screw that connects the white main gear you see when
you remove the top housing ( the half with the food) to the motor being
completely loose. If you remove the small white cap on the gear you can access
the screw and tighten. This stops the gear from raising up which was causing our
jamming.
This screw is this one (click on the image to get a color one ;)):
Greetings everyone!
A couple of weeks ago I got a Sony HitBit 10p from a mechanical keyboard
enthusiast from the University, a great guy :). He know where to leave MSX
things. There was a particular issue: There was no power supply. After changing
one power supply for a Sony HB-T7 I thought
that it would not be much of a problem. And actually it was not!
I found a tutorial in spanish on how to do this with a phone charger.
As you can see in the video, what he does is to use a soldering point below the
switch connector to solder a 5v input.
Hellllooooo everyone!
I’m alive, again. Maki asked me to make a blog post about how we changed the MSX
HitBit T7 japanese power supply unit (from now on PSU) for a more modern and european one. So, let’s do
this.
Update (2020-05-29): Victor Muñoz tutorial
Victor Muñoz followed this post (plus the discussion we have had on email) and
did this mod. He has shared with me a PDF containing the tutorial he has made.
So check this for additional notes and photos so it’s clearer.
Hey!
Recently I bought a broken 75P just for fun (and well, it was cheap :)). It had a video problem which, after reading a couple of msx.org posts (Hit-bit With Broken Graphics and 75P black screen mainly), I believed it was a problem of VRAM as Grauw pointed.
That was a clever way to debug it. Watching how Basic characters are output, you can see which bit is broken in the ASCII chart. Why can you point to which bank is failing if a bit fails?
