Design & Windows logic improvements

Hello, Folks!

I found Kicad is very useful even I'm not professional electronic or something.

I think I'm middle beginner: I know how to use the main/basic things, but for previous version of me or new beginners the current design is not perfect.

I thinks many people love that design, but I want to reorganize and/or simplify that, at least Plugin manager(honestly I don't like this Apply button, why I can't just click Install 💀)

Maybe there are future plans to improvements by main team? If not maybe I can make fork or at least start it 😅

How to turn on baterryless server after shutdown?

Hello,

I have a PC server(arch linux server), but after electricity shutdowns my server cannot power on by self.

I not khow it is possible to set auto turn on after electricity is ready by linux OS; in UEFi of my PC I not found any options.

I really don't know how to, maybe I will develop a PCb to send "power button push" for a second.

P.S. To start PC I just push button for a second

Wellbeing improvement

Hello, I using build-in(as I know) Wellbeing settings on my Arch for few months. It is very useful and interesting stuff, but I have an ideas to improve it, but I not found any information about it.

Maybe it is gnome or something app?

My ideas:

  • option for force notification about relax(even if fullscreen is open)
  • stop Work time timer if PC and screen is not active(if I reached out of PC, settings still thinks I'm here, maybe controlling pixel on the screen)

My version: Linux 6.19.10-arch1-1. As I know it is new function(year or something).

Desoldering practice 💅

Just practiced to desoldering some SMD components(at least not THD, thanks gods).

However I noob in SMD, but I love it! Very fast, easy and beautiful soldering using hot air fan.

My DIY power supply

Now I can check small devices such as LEDs, relays and something!

I'm so proud of myself because it is works and nothing exploded!

Features: variable output voltage(0 to 15V) with graphical display. Used old laptop power supply(19V 2.3A).

P.S. schematic on the last photo

Hi everyone,

I pulled the spindle (arbor shaft) from my old 185 mm (≈7¼") circular saw. The internal thread for the blade bolt is completely messed up — it looks like someone welded or melted the inside, and the left-hand M8 bolt (M8×1.25 LH, standard for many circular saws) doesn't screw in at all.

I can't find an exact replacement spindle for this old model, and even if I do, they're ridiculously expensive (~20+ USD for a used one).

What’s the best way to repair this?

Thanks in advance!

Beginner here, welded this guy today, used 3.0mm rods, maybe 42 EU or E6010, amperage ~80-100A but very cheaper welder 💁🏻‍♂️

Before work of couse I polished both metals to blinking color

Am I used wrong technic or my welder cannot support requires amperage?

Albeit, I saw few videos and used zig-zag style and grindered metals after each walk
