Working on the new eParrot 2018 button mold 1.png (146.1 kB. Kneaded the glob a bit more with the additional corn starch and shaped it into a ball. Totally about 2 minutes.Īdded some corn starch to the table top then scraped the glob from the plastic bag. The YouTube directions suggest to work quickly as it tends to set up rapidly.Īdded a couple of drops of vegetable oil to help keep the mass pliable and massaged some more. Squeezed some into a plastic bag and added a generous amount of corn starch and kneaded that together for a minute or so. So off to the market today to buy a tube of clear silicone since mine has long since become a solid. Sure would like for the buttons to be something more durable and flexible like rubber or silicone.ĭon't have the equipment to vulcanize rubber but silicone seems easy enough. Temporarily shifted my focus to the push buttons. Next will be supplying a tube from the boiler to the eParrot's new sensor. So actually attaching the pressure sensor to the eParrot is very simple.

I found a bit of wire insulation to temporarily act as the pressure tube for the sensor and the boiler alarm was quickly activated when I blew into the tube. Pressed 'Select' for a long second and the display value was set to '0', saved to memory, alarm stopped, and 'Healthy 0 dPa' was displayed.

I then hooked up the sensor and after another power cycle (reset) the boiler displayed 281 dPa and gave the alarm sound. Working on the new eParrot 2018 3 no sensor_and_floating.png (194.25 kB. The Boiler screen, when selected, continued to display from about 29 to 57 dPa but gave no alarm. I then power cycled the parrot and received no alarm. Working on the new eParrot 2018 2 zero out.png (189.75 kB. The range seemed to be from about 29 to 57 dPa. I pressed the 'Select' button and that disabled/reset the alarm and stored '0' to the memory (instead of whatever was displayed on the screen - I think it was 55 dPa but that number would change every second or so. Working on the new eParrot 2018 1 fault.png (190.94 kB. I got an alarm and flashing screen 'Boiler'. 5v, GND and Input.Īlso, the pressure disabling jumper needs to be removed from the PCB.įirst off, I removed the jumper but did not connect the sensor and then powered up the parrot. Seems easy enough, just hook up the three wires.

Using the inexpensive (and quite small) MPXV7002DP breakout board (about $10 USD?). Working on the Boiler Pressure Sensor alarm today.
