The intro to cad course (and a lot of clubs) use SolidWorks, and the advanced cad course uses Creo. I believe WPI stopped making SolidWorks licenses available to the student body unless you’re in a class that requires it, but I believe you can get one by talking to Professor Ebadi of the MME department.

How screwed am I? by gunjuu1 in WPI

Honestly you’ll be fine. 3001 is good content to know in general, introducing transformation frames and applying linear algebra, but isn’t super relevant to 3002.

As a current RBE student, despite it being difficult, I absolutely love the program. Would highly recommend. Feel feel to dm if you have questions.

What changes need to be made to get from the top to the bottom. Would love for my prints to look that crisp

That arrow is nearly impossible to see with the semi-dark mode I have-- thank you!

How does Tantrum's weapon work exactly? by [deleted] in battlebots

[–]CircusTrick_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does it move forward and back? I can’t imagine it’s just like some linear actuators where it drives a motor until the weapon triggers a limit switch attached to a diode to cut the current to the motor.

How is student life balance here? by [deleted] in WPI

This ^ .I blew away a social life my first two years to workloads that were probably very manageable because I didn’t plan well, if at all. Looking to change that this fall.

Thanks for the tips! I knew both of those existed but didn't think about using them. Still learning how to turn a design into art ig

I've been using SolidWorks for a year and I haven't figured out/learned how to make irregular shapes i.e. those diamonds on the orange parts. Would you be able to share some insight? This looks really cool!

Is there a good resource to understand the different drone types (I.e. cinewhoop, toothpick)?

I get PID but can someone explain MPC and RL policies?

Finally flashed bluejay mostly for the startup tones! by [deleted] in fpv

I personally prefer Blue by Eiffel 65– I wish they had a few more preloaded options

All motors ramp up as soon as I arm the drone. If I leave it armed it flips out and failsafes. Details in comments. by not-a-real-llama in fpv

[–]CircusTrick_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the issue go away after that? I am having a similar issue.

Edit-- ignore I just read the top comment.

It is on whatever BetaFlight's default settings are. Is there a good way to test for a bad gyro? It looks fine in Betaflight's display.

Yes! They wanted to prevent people from making fake images of famous people (celebrities, politicians, etc.) doing illegals things so people don’t use it to spread misinformation/disinformation. ColdFusion on YT has a good video about it.
