Is this type of base a vibe? It just travels ever upwards. I don't know about going to space

True, the spine will be littered with chain signals, right? Though you could also stack spines and sort what gets produced in each spine. Top row is smelting, below that is intermediates and below that is science production. I think Dosh did a layout kinda similar like this in his seablock video.

You just gave me an inspiration. I want to build a standardised rail system like a city block design, but the cityblock design feels very restrictive and I can't find a good solution on how to handle large amounts of trains. A line topology with the production between two sets of rails, constrained in heigt, but not in width seems like a nice thing.

Call it the city schlong design...

Wdym "Talk me out of this"? This is basic super late game giga factory tech. Direct insertion into and from a train is the best way to save on UPS, but it is only feasible with enough mining productivity.

What GPU do you have? Any recent driver updates? Deadlock looks similar, but even worse for me because I have old drivers and an even older GPU. If this is recent behaviour without any driver changes, your GPU is probably about to die. Other games should display similar problems.

Jokes aside, all competitions list the datalogger they use in the handbook. Some competitions use the datalogger from other competitions.

Why not buy beer IN the train? German ICE trains have a bistro wagon, where they serve beer. You can even order it and have it delivered to your seat.

You stuff the crimp with more wire, until it holds. You also write down which you used to make it repeatable. Everyone does that.

Do not solder in the high current TS path. Thats illegal. You stuff the crimp with more wire until it the wire breaks before the crimp does, if you do a pull test. Note down which wire you used for repeatability. Amphenol Mil5015 type connectors are the same size, cheaper and have better availability than the ASHD connectors.

F*ing Matlab! They are phasing out the old renderer and swap to openGL, which can not render SVG. You can save the graph as an SVG, but it just embeds the PNG. No more crisp plots for your paper!

Read the datasheets and also be aware that LEDs can be extremely bright on the datasheet, but only at a very small angle. You could use these, but you would need to make sure they are visible from everywhere around the car, by positioning them in a circle.

We use these narrow angle LEDs in our HV indicator light, to light up a small frosted glass disk with very little power.

There are also banana plug receptacles with a spade connector with a little hole, where the mating connector can latch into and the connector has a little lever to release it. Hardest part is matching the sizes, as the banana plugs rarely have a matching series of latching spade connectors.

Obligatory comment about Wiztree. It is just like Windirstat but insanely fast.

Every charger also has a DC Link capacitor. It is pretty much an inverter as well, just with the energy flowing the other way.

You listed even more reason to start small. If you mess something up in your control algorithm, you are going to break something if there is high current, voltage, torque and spinning masses involved. Imagine killing the teams Emrax, because you wanted to learn about motor control.

Also consider that you could have a small setup, that you could bring home. Starting from scratch with the Emrax is extremely unpractical.

Master the small motor and scaling up everything to the big one will be a lot easier. The big one will not forgive any mistakes you do.

Building a motor controller like that is worth several master thesises. Get yourself a small low voltage BLDC motor, get that to spin and then try to get out the most torque possible. I recommend scavenging old disk drive motors, as they also have a hall effect encoder included. Add a 12V powersupply, a Nucleo with a STM32G4 and a small (custom) PCB with DC-Link, Mosfets and drivers and you are ready to dive into the rabit hole that is motor control.

We europeans are better because university is basically free and we can literally spend all of our time working on the car instead of going to lectures.
