Queen of InsomniaI forgot to take my anxiety med yesterday. This was a big mistake. I use a pill minder so I don't miss a dose, because missing a dose completely messes with my brain in ways that make me unable to do much. Even walking can be a challenge because it makes me super dizzy. I am sad I wasted a weekend day on this nonsense. I'm also thankful for my sis and BIL for taking care of me and my dog. Now we'll see if I can get some sleep and reset things for tomorrow. <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/medication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#medication</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#anxiety</a> <a href="https://newsie.social/tags/oops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#oops</a>

C.I just cost myself several very puzzling hours over the course of a few days, because I forgot the first rule of debugging electronic circuits.It's the connector.It's always the connector.I'd been having trouble getting some of my guitar effects modules to work correctly - older ones that I knew worked were giving me issues, and newly-made ones didn't pass any signal back through to the one they were connected to. I spent lots of time tracing through circuits trying to find where the signal was disappearing, and then trying to figure out *why* it was disappearing there. It wasn't until I happened to scope one of the wires in a cable at one end, followed by the other end, and found the signal disappeared somewhere in between...It turns out some male-male JST XH cables I made were faulty - but not because of me. I'd bought premade pigtails, and just added another connector to the other end of the wires. Checking these more carefully, I found that 3 of the 6 I had made had one or more wires that weren't connected properly.Taking them apart, it became clear why. Whoever set up the crimping machine when making those pigtails didn't do it right. A bunch of the wire crimps had the wire inserted way too far into the contact before it was crimped - so the wings that are supposed to make contact with the stripped portion of the wire were actually just closed on insulation. No contact at all.Reminder to future me: check the connectors first!<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#electronics</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/hobby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hobby</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/oops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#oops</a>
