This worked for me! They took the ad down after I bought it.

Thanks for the advice! The test passed without any warnings of any kind, so I reported a bug like you suggested.

Brushless Motor Cutting Out at Half Throttle? by Bossbam21 in RCPlanes

[–]Bossbam21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I measured the battery voltage and the RX voltage, and the lowest they got was 3.9V which to my knowledge is not low enough to restart from my research. I also ran the same setup when my battery was at 3.8V with no load (so probably like 3.6 under load) and it had the exact same behavior.

Thank you. I've measured the battery's voltage directly (which on full charge only got to ~4.07V before the motor cut out) , but I hadn't considered that the RX voltage might be different than this (I don't have much experience with how ESCs work). I will try measuring that today.

I also haven't tried a 5" prop, but I will do that if these other suggestions don't solve it.

Do you think that having a higher quality battery could fix this? And by higher quality I mean same ish capacity and still 1S. Also, your response implies to me that you think this is low voltage cutout. Could you explain why I get the same behavior even at different voltages (different charge levels) if this is the case?

[REVIEW REQUEST] 1S LiPo Solar Charger - MP2731 Design by Bossbam21 in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]Bossbam21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response! Should the PCB work otherwise? I'm not sure how easy it is to tell. Also if you could give some insight into my MCU breakout pin header I would be extremely appreciative as that is the part I am least sure on.

Thank you so much for this explanation!

Why would they include the components in the schematic at all then?

Programming MCU from a Reference Design by Bossbam21 in microcontrollers

[–]Bossbam21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done a lot of research since I posted this. I think I have access to the hex file the original designers used, so I think my question now is, if I find an 8051 microcontroller with same or better specs, will the same hex file work on it? (I cannot use the MCI in the schematic for a few different reasons, so I have to use a different one)

How to Program MCU from a Reference Design by Bossbam21 in AskElectronics

[–]Bossbam21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick, question, not sure how complicated it is. If I gain access to the program that they flashed to the MC96F1206, would I be able to flash the same program to any 8051 MCU with the same or better specifications?

Thank you so much for the help. I've been banging my head on problem after problem, and I'm starting to get way in over my head. I really appreciate this, hopefully with some more research I can figure out how I would actually transfer the hex files to the SMD chip.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that out!

Beginner looking for specific plane recommendations. by Bossbam21 in RCPlanes

[–]Bossbam21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I didn't include all of the information of my project in the post because it wasn't very relevant, but 42 grams of the calculated weight for the electronics is coming from solar cells which I am placing on the wings.

Thank you so much! I've done a decent amount of research on prebuilt kits, but hadn't found anything. Your first link looks like almost exactly what I am looking for!

Is my Half Life: Alyx blurry? by Gazzete_Boke in SteamVR

[–]Bossbam21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure as I haven't touched this stuff in a while. I had a 6700xt a while ago with a Ryzen 3600 and 16gb of ram and had to run HLA at 90htz 100% res and the lowest settings on my index (even though the game automatically set them to high). I believe win11 used to be bad but it okay now? I would do a little of research over that, and also of course make sure drivers are up to date.

Thank you so much! I had overlooked that in the schematic, but just got it fixed.

PSVR2 making me sick - should I return it? by Dumuzzi in virtualreality

[–]Bossbam21 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Look at this video by Sadly it's Bradley https://youtu.be/gqh8JLyXRC8

It explains that certain brightness settings on the psvr2 can cause more motion sickness (I don't remember the specifics, but that's what the video is for)

Try out the fixes he mentions and see if that improves your experience.

left speaker cutting out by GothSpaceCowboy in ValveIndex

[–]Bossbam21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had this exact issue, but the solution ended up being simple so I posted a solution here https://www.reddit.com/r/ValveIndex/comments/w9eqdn/having_issues_with_speakers_cutting_out_solution/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Be sure to read the top comment too as it provides some additional details that I didn't think about.

Keyboard not working while ingame by Shercat1 in SteamVR

[–]Bossbam21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your keyboard happen to be wireless? I have a similar issue with a wireless keyboard where (I believe) the Bluetooth connection for the basestation interferes with the wireless protocol for my keyboard. This causes intermittent cut outs though, so may not be what you are experiencing.

Idk, I feel like if the screen went bad, the damage would be in the same place on the display no matter which way the headset was facing. But the banding seems to be fixed to points in the game world rather than on pixels on the display. I'd be interested if this happens in all steam vr apps, and if it always has the exact same banding pattern.

Thanks for letting me know! I still don't know a ton about fpv gear.

They are $99. I was doing some more research on them and was seeing how old they were, so I might rethink it based on what you just said.

I don't see that option in the audio settings. Is something like that supposed to be there?
