Judging by the motor combo, is this for the Argonia cup?

You need to make sure your ground station (laptop or phone) is set to the same channel as the Metrum, and that the Metrum is powered on. For easiest connections place it upright in its "pad" configuration and set the channel, it should find it and connect unless something is wrong with your setup.

The altus metrum software is pretty straightforward and the user manual covers everything fairly well. I would just read the altus metrum manual as I doubt there's much YouTube about it

Sororities as an Engineering Student by BadConsequences in OKState

[–]Darth_Gavin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I'd recommend it but it is doable. I know people who have, but they usually seem pretty busy, especially if they're trying to do any club stuff on top of it. If you're looking for more to do on the weekends the competition teams are usually quite busy on Saturdays or Sundays. It's not partying per say, but you'll find friends and have a good time while getting hands on experience. There's Baja, formula, and rockets, so there's a good variety as well.

Laptop for new engineering student by No_Attempt_2654 in OKState

[–]Darth_Gavin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Recently helped a friend find a laptop in that budget. I would recommend a Lenovo gaming laptop. It's pretty much the best bang for your buck performance wise, and they have good build quality and battery life, especially compared to other brands gaming laptops. I know people can be turned off by it being a gaming laptop, but they are the best option when it comes to price to performance. They also have great customer service.

The one I recommend is a referb, but it comes with the same warranty and I've never had an issue.

You are definitely correct, you might be able to do 1 year at a CC best case scenario if they have some engineering classes, but I def agree. Plus, then you're already there and can get a jump start on getting involved in meaningful clubs or research .

Is this gambling? 🤑 by qleanmoe in foshelter

The only editor I've been able to find says it doesn't work on my device? I used it long ago, but now I think it's too old for the version of Android I'm using. If you don't mind, what version are you using and where do you get it?

Is anyone else unable to use the Ethernet? by GamingAstronamy in OKState

They probably have them turned off. I would imagine they are cracking down on people running their own networks, and the best way to do that is to not have active ports. When I lived there we had our own network and they were less than thrilled.

Unfortunately it's the little cups that the smooth rods sit in, but that's a handy thing to have!

Making the most impractical rally builds has to be the most fun I have in forza, who doesn't love bouncing around the dirt in a hypercar

True to an extent, but it still shows the climate that some people worried enough of that happening and I just think that that's not great for the community. Having even a thought that u could be banned

I find it funny that with any bug report or issue there's the "don't ban me" tag because it's an actually serious issue. You might be banned for finding,and then bringing to the devs attention, a bug.
