Retro Tech & Electronics | ESP32 Automated Irrigation Control System Project - PART 5 - System Demonstration @retrotechandelectronics | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Now in Part 5 we take a moment to demonstrate the functionality of the systems it currently exists with all current hardware and software installed. The system is first factory defaulted to start the demonstration from the very beginning. A good portion of the UI has been written though not completed. Also the rain sensor is not yet added to the project. A GPIO limitation will cause some changes in the next chapter.

We continue into part five with some of the cosmetic work, beginning with the prep and painting of the handle ends so that they can be re-installed into the cabinet. This gives pause and time to reflect on how far things have come since the beginning of the project. With that, everything is placed back into the cabinet and screwed back in. The top caps for the handle are snapped back in and everything receives and inspection.
This starts the disassembly of the speaker cabinet for repairs and restoration. This will need a lot of work. Much water damage, pieces missing that will require research as well. Chunks of corners are gone and a deep cleaning will be required before anything else.
Having cut back a section of inside material, repairs begin throughout the amp from easiest to hardest. Most sections roughed up upon completion to match the patina around the affected area. Corners were built back up with putty first.
On the inside there will need to be repairs to the bottom that has been rotted out by water damage. A clear glue will be soaked into the wood and let to settle overnight to turn it back into plywood and then knocked down flat again and filled with wood putty. The second sanding with the putty preps it for stain and polyurethane.
The cabinet handle end prep work is done the same way as the one for the amp cabinet. Once completed the handle is re-introduced to the speaker cabinet.
We did a visit to Hobby Lobby to find material for the sides and ended up with a 3in elastic belt to do the job and it came out perfect. Having been given a picture of the original setup I was able to replicate it.
One piece of speaker cable is chewed up in the 1st two feet so it was simply removed as to not cause issues later. With that the back of the cabinet was replaced and the Tolex received a final treatment.
The remaining belt material is glued to the backstops to protect the amp, the Amplifier then reinserted into the cabinet to see how it fits. Everything looks really nice. Cable management wasnt too bad either.
At this point I turn the Amp over to the wife for testing. sadly there were issues. Though the Amp itself ran great, troubleshooting shows that the speakers within the cabinet have issues. This proved to be conclusive and we proceeded with a demo of the amp using a different speaker and relegated the cabinet speaker repair to the next unscheduled video, part 6.
