Is it time for a cup of tea? Or counciling?

Person gets home from Ikea with a new ceiling light thinking it will be an easy task to fit it. Left staring at 9 or more wires poking out of the ceiling.

3 core armored cables. Old colours Red Yellow Blue. New colours Brown Black Gray.

Is that a 400V Delta supply? Is it a switching circuit? Is it that a single phase circuit where the armor alone isn't enough for earthing so one core is being used as a CPC?

Then there are circuits with multiple switch control.
Old colours Red, Yellow, Blue, Black with red sleeve. +CPC
New colours Brown, Black, Gray, Blue with Brown sleeve. +CPC

Depending on the method used Brown, Red are often Live in. All the others are to do with switching / live return. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Oh yes switching circuits.
For switch drops it is common practice to use what would have been the neutral as the switched live return (black old standard, blue new standard) with a bit of coloured sleeving (red old standard, brown new standard) πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Are you lost yet?

So in buildings with mixed colour code systems you can get.

Red Live / L1 3 phase
Brown Live / L1 3 phase
Black Neutral
Blue Neutral
Yellow L2
Black L2
Blue L3
Gray L3

So those blue & the black wires you really need to be sure if there a live or a neutral πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Then you get old installations that have had new additions since the new colour codes came in. So there should be a warning label on the distribution board about mixed colour code systems. πŸ”₯

There is an older historical colour scheme that can still be found old installations in use.
Red Live (L1 in 3 phase systems)
Black Neutral
Yellow L2
Blue L3
Green Circuit protective conductor

Here we get on 230V single phase
Brown (live phase conductor. L1 in 3 phase systems)
Blue (neutral phase conductor)
Green/Yellow (circuit protective conductor)
3 phase 400V adds in addition
Black (live phase 2 conductor)
Gray (live phase 3 conductor)

The prompt jockeys seem to be creeping back into the feed.
There is a special button called Block that has just the wonderful effect on them.

WAH!
The LED is blinking on the microcontroller development board.
Thats another check box ticked in the move away from MS.
Now I can progress projects I'm working on.

Ditching MS for Linux. It's an odd feeling to actually be excited to use a computer again. Is does what I want it to do
I hadn't realised just how lothsome MS's products had become to use over the last 14 years, and MS seem to be hammering in the nails to the coffin with there new flagship Microslop

I still have a Sony Ericsson chat keyboard about somewhere... Thinking about it, it may be in for being partnered with an ESP32 to enable it as a Bluetooth keyboard.

I really need to get around to taking more pictures to use for #FursuitFriday.

Just things seem so busy and just when you think that your catching up with everything, something else pops up.

Ahh with a fresh set of eyes and a cup of coffee and Ardour memory limit is resolved.

It was just a thought as I had to resolve the same problem with pen/display alignment I was having. Not Windows.
Hopefully someone who knows the answer for Windows 11 sees your post.

figured out yet but then I can't see myself ever using 4Gb of RAM editing audio.

In all this has taken up less time than it would normally to install and set up Windows and Office. Also no forced updates so I can do a system backup before installing updates.

The alternative driver took a little bit of playing to get the pen position correctly mapped to the display.
The Beringer audio interface took a little fiddling with drivers and app settings to get working with Ardour. There is a 4Gb app memory limit that Ardour is notifying of that I haven't

So ditching Microsoft and running on Linux. No issues with installing Ubuntu on a modern HP laptop. Thunderbird Email, LibreOffice, krita all working and do what I need.
Setting up the huion kamvas 13 required fiddling with drivers. The wavcom one in Ubuntu didn't function correctly.

I have noticed over the last few days there has been an increase in content that hasn't been correctly labeled.
So I have also been swinging the bamboo stick of blocking about.

Yes there often sold by the pallet through auction. EAMA Group Auctions is one of the places they turn up on.
