    Sanding (Is) The Pits

    That should do. Even better if you can plug it up and run it for a few minutes. Give it a sniff for any burnt motor coils etc

    Sanding (Is) The Pits

    Yep. Random orbital will be more even with much less chance of a sanding pattern. With coarse grit, If you move part or the enclosure off the sanding surface, it's will immediately have more material. IMO, the only thing palm sanders are good at is removing a lot of material quickly in spaces a...

    Gold and/or silver spray paint that goes on smooth?

    I like to give my rattle cans a 15 minute spa first. Stick them in a pan or what not full of hot water and let the water continue to run into it at a dribble to keep the temp up. Be cautious if you have suor hot hot water though. Goes on smoother but also expells faster. Or, on a warm day, sit...

    Sanding (Is) The Pits

    You'll take the bulk off with course grit. That's why I use the sharpie. Similar to fret leveling. I know I've touched the entire surface with the course grit. Being perfectly flat doesn't matter a ton unless you are etching but even then, sanding gets you flat enough. Even on bigger boxes, just...

    Sanding (Is) The Pits

    I'm not sure wet sanding is "approved" for any electric orbital. Certainly not an issue for pneumatic. I just do it anyway. It's a Ryobi. Who cares. But, it takes very little water, at least w the Diablo discs. It seems like the mesh like to hold onto the droplets. I just have a spray bottle and...

    Sanding (Is) The Pits

    Ive noticed the same pitting on tayda boxes. SBP boxes seem better in that regard. They're cheaper too if you buy 25 iirc. A 6 inch random orbital sander is a better move than a palm sander imo. Swapping grits is going to be a lot quicker. I've had good luck with the Diablo SandDemon discs. They...

    Old SE-05 diodes?

    Looks to be a diode. They put the symbol on it and everything. Warm one up and see if its Vf changes much.

    MCU and RF module are both NRF5340. Do I need both or should I just use the RF module as MCU and RF Transmitter?

    I think your thinking of a kill switch. But a Neuro-kull switch would... Ooooohhhhhh.

    A new-production BBD, with added features!

    New circuits. You could modify an existing circuit, but you'd likely need to account for the clock and voltage so a new layout would 3b in order. Would be a mess to try bodge.
