I wanted to see if it was the bone sticking out or if it was my body adding padding to the area since I never went to get it fixed.

@XC-108

So, I’m debating NExT2 in P3 slot to see if it gets better range to my readers there than the one in P0

P3 with thinner skin than P0 I would expect a better read.
It would be difficult to quantify as it depends on your particular install.
I had my P0 installs done shallow, and my hands a pretty skinny so I dont really have the same struggles I see some people on here get.
But I’ve seen others with deep P0 installs and / or fat hands that I think a P1-P4 install would be to their benefit.

@XC-108

So, I’m debating NExT2 in P3 or a flexEM and flexNT in my wrist to get some better range

I’m a fanboy of the FlexNT and the performance of it.
I normally recommend it as the “Business card” implant, but equally, if you have a compatible reader, it is a great option.

With a FlexNT and FlexEM, You would have yourself a pretty awesome “FlexNExT” alternative

@XC-108

Sometimes it takes a few swipes

I have always found the swipe technique the most effective, starting just outside the reader and swiping through the perimiter perpendicular to the implant across the antenna on the perimiters

@XC-108

NExT2 in P3 or a flexEM and flexNT in my wrist to get some better range…or all three…hmmmmmm

If you can

@Biggs

I suck at electronics

looks like it works perfectly…aka
Doesnt suck

Nice work

@Biggs

relied heavily on Google, YouTube and GPT to figure out what wire goes where

Dont feel like you can’t ask here, It’s one of the main functions of the forum.

For some people, these things are new, for others they are trivial.
Next time somebody asks about an xAC, you’ll be able to contribute.

AND
if you were to write up a guide and add it to Projects
you could direct people who need help to it.
plus it will serve as a record for you if you ever needed to remove, reoair, replace, or repeat.

Thank You!

@Pilgrimsmaster

Yeah, feel like I should’ve. I’d never messed with COM or NO’s so I had to browse the pages a little, ask GPT etc. It’s small steps, but definitely taught myself some new stuff.

@Pilgrimsmaster

if you were to write up a guide and add it to Projects
you could direct people who need help to it.

Might sit down and try doing so tomorrow, if anything, like you said for my own documentation, if that’s all cool with how the forums are being used. Feel like my little project means nothing compared to some of the amazing projects people got going on. But! I’ll make that a lil tomorrow task then. ^^

Also probably just the hostile forums I’m used to from years ago… Y’all seem incredibly friendly and cool so far. Forgive my hesitation!

[Pilgrimsmaster]

@Biggs

Not at all.
You made a thing, it does exactly what you wanted, and there are likely other people you have just inspired to make their thing.

@Biggs

And don’t you fucking forget it!

[Jammyjellyfish]

I’d love a write up though, I have an NB I’d like to do this to!

[Biggs]

@Jammyjellyfish

I’d love a right up though, I have an NB I’d like to do this to!

Say less!

I wish I had a hard top, I’d love to add the functionality to my doors, but I live in an area where I rarely, if ever, lock my doors… That and I got taught from a very early stage of owning the car, don’t lock a soft top. Its either your roof and stuff or just your stuff. Which made sense.

I might’ve also locked my keys in the car shortly after I had installed the push to start. Keys laid on my chair. Staring at me. Laughing at me.

[Jammyjellyfish]

Same boat. Hard tops are stupid expensive. I also don’t have electronic locks so I’m willing to forgo the door locks lol

[Pilgrimsmaster]

@Jammyjellyfish

I also don’t have electronic locks

These are cheap, easy to install, and easy to add an xAC to

[Jammyjellyfish]

Hmm good to know. Probably when I have money for a hardtop

Yuppers! Exactly how I have to present to the Honeywells at the headquarters office. I start in the middle and slide up to get the read. I can usually get it in the first 3 tries.

[Pilgrimsmaster]

@XC-108

I start in the middle and slide up to get the read

Maybe try starting at the bottom (below the reader) and swipe up, so over the antenna twice, you will double your chances of a hit

in theory, one success every 1½ attempts.

Have you tried checking the duty cycle with a diagnostic tool?

a slower speed may also help (I imagine you have already tried this, but comments for the benefit of others reading this)

[Hamspiced]

Has any one done an xg3 in their wrist? @XC-108 was that you that had it in your wrist or is yours the back of your hand?

[Not]

@XEMON

I have xG3 in the inner wrist about 2 in back from the joint.

@Hamspiced looks like it was XEMON

[XC-108]

@Hamspiced

@XC-108 was that you that had it in your wrist or is yours the back of your hand?

Mine is in P1 Left.

Ooh! I’ll do that. I’ll let you know! Thanks.
As far as cycle goes, I have not checked, but I have found that slower movements produce better results when I don’t get the rare insta-read the moment I present.

@Not

Sure did
What you want to know?

[Hamspiced]

Was hoping someone did the opposite side of the wrist.

Was hoping that it isn’t too thick there to actually hold parts

[XEMON]

The transistor side is very shallow and works amazing, the resistor side is a tad deeper, and i really feel teh difference in strength for part holding.
It does sense better, i use them to know if AC solenoid are on or off (it can be hard to tell when its loud and everything buz on a factory floor, i used to carry a pen magnet for that, not i dont have to loose it anymore )
