  1. Best to have the installation inspected before diving in. Down at our favourite noodle shop it's fun to watch the lights go dim and fans wind down when Miss Good Cat gives her EV a 7kW shot. Unfortunately the 100A digital meter and street cables don't agree. ATTENTION! DO NOT SHOWER WHEN CAR IS CHARGING
  2. That's correct and has been discussed here before. An independent reference is required to determine potential power not being used.
  3. Our home back in Kefalonia has suffered several earthquake cracks. Where the crack passes through brick its best to cut back the render coat wire mesh over the crack and re-render. This will prevent hairline cracks reappearing along the crack line.
  4. Not sure of present day situation; but back in 2015 driving through China required a guide which was often shared by overlander groups to reduce cost. Example UK to Thailand route during this period.

  6. A02YYUW water resistant ultrasonic sensor uses simple UART communication. Can use Wi-Fi of ESPXX or similar, lots of info kicking around for these devices.
  7. Modern SMD electronic repair requires having the correct tools along with the skill and experience to use them. My BIL has taken a few ECU repairs in the past but would not wish to make a full time business out of it. Industrial power electronics takes up most of his bench time. A Google search reveals several ECU repair specialists around Thailand. There is no black magic or anything particularly special about automotive ECU's other than some components might be difficult or even impossible to source.
  8. ECU repairs are often successful even more so when there is little or no PCB damage. The same applies to many modules sitting on automotive bus. A simple $1 driver component could easily restore a faulty ECU to a level where it outlives the rest of the vehicle.
  9. Without dealer intervention, the easiest way to clone a dead ECU to donor ECU with identical part number is to move the memory chip which contains all unique data along with the all important immobiliser code. Do some research because ECU inspection and repair is available in Thailand even for rare modules. ECU's often fail around inexpensive driver components that interface the processor with the outside world so its worth paying for an inspection before seeking a replacement. One should also consider the repair shop has diagnosed the fault correctly and not fallen into some faulty ECU trap created by another module or external fault.
  10. I was surprised you did not use a fixing system from the start. Our work shed roof strings. 120mm brackets fixed to the low flat areas of the roof sheets. Compared to 80mm brackets we found the 120mm provide better air flow and access to connectors. Thick rubber gaskets and strengthening plates behind provide good reliable water seal.
  11. Chilled food processing environments often suffer excessive icing of cooling evaporators if not turned off during end of production wash down which is often done with steaming hot water. Its an extreme example yes, but demonstrates what can happen when conditions exceed normal. Modern inverter AC's monitor the evaporator coil temperature and will reduce output based on load, length of time running and fan speed. The anti icing parameters set in software would likely not handle unusual situations where room humidity is being held high. AC's equipped with humidity sensing can better avoid coil icing. If refrigerant levels are correct, filters clean, coil fins clear, fan clean and operating correctly, it is still possible for the evaporator to ice over if environmental conditions are outside those what the AC was designed to work with.
  12. New info for me also until the AI master heard me ask about PEA generators.
  13. Quite sure the wiping after use will keep black a fitting clean but unfortunately that's not everyone routine especially in a shower cubicle. Its not difficult to find people who are finding the fashionable and delicate black coatings difficult to keep clean.
