    I’m buying up vhs-c and hi8 camcorders and so many end user manuals have fucking schematics, parts lists, circuit diagrams, pcb layouts, timing charts, …

    I’m old enough to remember owning things but never really to the extent you could build a whole new one from scratch and I don’t think those days are coming back, especially with the voltages involved in EVs

      Inverters and drivers are so tightly integrated, it’s out of reach for hobbyist, you’d have to be a full on EE to build one.

        Yeah, Sell this shit to random people and there will be dead bodies and lawsuits.

        I love working on my car but a day will come very soon when I’ll need to love working on my bike instead.

        The high voltage stuff can stay out of my reach until I’m ready, but I at least want to be able to do a TPMS relearn and brake pad/rotor maintenance without needing to plug anything into the OBDII port.
