    Digicabi dry cabinet

    Just to report back, the 3.6V AD/DC adapter works. As I stated, I drilled a hole on the plastic panel and attached the barrel socket, solder the wire to the stock PCB DC side so I can make use of the exiting electrolytic cap and safety cap, probably not needed as any voltage/current surge--like...

    Digicabi dry cabinet

    I see, I never took out the inside unit since changing PSU works, so I don't know the peltier spec. I want to keep PSU spec at least equal to stock cause we all know, they will use as low power as they can get to save cost. I use watt meter to check the current and wattage used when the unit is...

    Digicabi dry cabinet

    Yeah, I think more ampere should provide more power to the peltier unit to bring down the RH level faster. With my current 12V/2A adapter + buck converter with potentiometer, the case has brought down the RH level from 79% to 46% after ~20Hours@1 O'clock, and stay there. Anyway, many digi-cabi...

    Digicabi dry cabinet

    Thanks for the replied. I guess wire extension is the only way or I drill holes and connect traces on the back. As for the adapter, I don't think I would use 5V as its ~40% overvoltage, The stock converter stated 3.6V and 6W max output, The previous user might have use wrong voltage and...

    Digicabi dry cabinet

    My DB-036 digicabi bought in 2019 May just stop working. I remove the "PSU" casing to check if its dead, and it really is dead. The fuse is blown, all capacitors, polyester and electrolytic are out of spec. The bigger yellow polyester at AC side should be 0.1uf/275VAC but measure using 100Hz...

    anyone heard of DisplayLink?

    try connecting the second monitor first. you should see a mirror option as default, turning it off will make it become "Extended Desktop mode"--spanning. apple cinema display will require a crazy priced DVI to ADC Adapter. dont forget the mini/micro dvi or display port to DVI adapter.

    anyone heard of DisplayLink?

    why don't you get a new graphic card? just in case you never do multi-monitor before.

    how to read the numbers on lenses?

    I think the wikipedia on Focal Length should be able answer this question. or this site which explain in a more layman term: it is the distance from the lens to the film, when focused on a subject at infinity. the angle of view of a prime lens should be fixed. but in real world, it...

    'Live' view on a pro-spec'ed body: Yay or Nay?

    Articulated, like the Olympus E3, not tilting LCD on Sony A300/A350. but if you insist, i may call it a handicapped articulate LCD. back to subject, LV is good to have but not essential. but like AF, photographer might one day judge the camera with this feature and count them essential...

    Are the Canon 40D user happy with this gear?

    As said by the above, why change? I don't see why a need for casual user to switch camp, they both offer comparable feature, the rest are really user preference. is it because of the lack of built-in AF motor on D60? D80 and up have them; from preview of the new D90, it has clean high ISO...

    What monitor are you using?

    show off thread? Dell 2407WFP-HC and Sony G520. the Sony always present a more vibrant color, the black is simply...black. for image and video, Sony is hard to fault; for everything else, the Dell is good enough.
