Sounds like a specific bass frequency might be at the sweet spot of your transmitter to distort. Glad you got it sorted!

Sounds odd that its only the 1 song. My 2c is that perhaps that track (regardless of its obtained source) has a certain frequency in the mix that your transmitter has trouble reproducing and causes the distortion. As Tric suggested above, try to see if its coming from the Pi's output, or from...

Great progress already! Just a small word of caution on those grey enclosures that look like from Bunnings, they aren't always 100% waterproof around the lid seal, so keep that in mind if they are out in the yard and exposed to the elements.

Controversial, but I could not tell you the last time i picked up my soldering iron. I just twist the stripped bare wires together and seal with heatshrink, both on the individual cores and around the outer cable cover. Its easy to repair if required (not as often as you think) and it just works...

Howdy all. Just a quick little reminder to existing members but also to advise any new members to pop your display details on our map, it'll only take a minute and will be very helpful for others. This allows people to see where you are (you might have a neighbour 2 streets away who is just as...

I agree with NEL, if you're still unsure about how it all works, buying it all at once and trying to figure it out could be quite stressful. Your millage may vary, depends on how quickly you can learn and adapt. Whilst its a few years old now, I often recommend this video to new members who...

I've used Ray Wu exclusively for 10x years and cannot recall a water ingress issue with his connectors. Your mileage may vary.

The words China & standard are not often used in the same sentence. Like all things cheap and chearful in this hobby, it pays to test every wire. Every. Wire. Just because you've been told that the red wire = pin 2 (just a hypotheitcal example) doesn't mean that every pair of pigtails you have...

Nice thanks! I started doing this one myself but have not progressed very far so I'll end up using this and apply some tweaks of my own

I got a similar response when I asked chatgpt initially, but I started this thread to get other's real world experiences as I know many in the community are handy with networking. I appreciate everyone's input. I am leaning towards getting one of these and a PoE injector...

Well I have a wired connection inside the mancave so I can connect the outdoor AP point to this if that's what you're referring to yes. It sounds like the backyard has low coverage due to A) the old wifi Netgear router in the mancave is old and not great to begin with and B) the newer TP Link...

So I've been consulting my mate ChatGPT trying to make sense of some of the suggestions so far, and I was keen to get other's thoughts on this breakdown. Option 1 – TP-Link EAP650-Outdoor (Wired Only) Simple, cost-effective, reliable — perfect if you just want one outdoor AP now. [FTTP NBN]...

I have a RE500X extender in the front room which seems to work well for the house but as its not as strong out the front as I'd hoped. Would this work similar or better?

I'm pretty sure I've asked this in chat sometime in the last 12 months but I've forgotten the details already (there's been a bit going on at Evans Central the last 6 months!) plus I figure someone else may want to reference this thread in the future for thier own research. I'm looking for...

This has come up in conversation a few times over the last few years and the general consensus is that most members would love the opportunity to purchase some merch to wear/use with pride during the year and also help support the site, and I'm all for it. Product ideas, designing products...
