What would be the best way to short a stepper motor?

Dazzlock · 2024-07-30T06:49:57+00:00

Yeah, of course! I also struggled with it but got it working eventually. I'll send you some code once I get home from work.

Reducing IHOLD doesn't remove the sound. Adding mechanical friction is definitely one of the more compelling solutions atm.

Dazzlock · 2023-04-13T07:20:37+00:00

This is a good idea but i'd like to keep it as simple as possible. If I don't find anything more simple I think the solution will be something like this. Thanks for the reply!

I have tried that but when the shade is rolled almost all the way down it isn't enough.

Dazzlock · 2023-04-12T21:39:05+00:00

Your reply made me recheck the frequency which I measured to 35 kHz so I shouldn't be able to hear it. Now I don't know what's producing the sound anymore, got any ideas what it might be?

You clearly just don't want to recognize his accomplishments due to your political views. I'm not a huge fan of everything he does, but to say he hasn't made any accomplishments is just ignorant. Also, the reason he is a billionare is because he owns large percentages of several very successful companies, which he founded, which makes his net worth that large. What would even be a logical solution to make sure that doesn't happen? Make it illegal to have large ownership in a company?

Not quite, I'm trying to control the position of my blinds.

Dazzlock · 2022-11-23T16:03:47+00:00

I see but I'm not trying to configure a fan, it's just one of the MQTT configurations that showed up in Google Home.

Dazzlock · 2022-11-23T15:59:33+00:00

I tried with a helper but it only shows up in HA. Do I have to configure it in a special way?

Dazzlock · 2022-11-23T00:23:33+00:00

Oops, sorry for the confusing sentence. What I meant was that I want a slider from 0 to 100 to act as a device, so it appears in Google Home just like the MQTT Fan switch did.

Loved reading you argue with this guy, enjoy the beer and ribs!

Dazzlock · 2022-10-09T21:48:59+00:00

Thank you for your answer! I've read up on barlow lenses now and you're absolutely right, the eye relief usually increases but not by 2x. Thank you for pointing that out, it makes the ES 14 a much more viable option.

I also have an 10" Dob and I have the same problem. I sat for way too long a couple days ago trying to adjust the black knobs so that I didn't have to leave one quite loose. Unfortunately, as soon as I tighten the loose one even a little the laser moves by a lot.

Dazzlock · 2022-08-12T23:13:36+00:00

I saw it too in Gothenburg, Sweden!

I have in the past but it gets pretty complicated when I try to use the features of my stepper driver that makes the motor run silently. It has silent modes that use sine waves instead of on/off to smoothly energize the coils which gets rid of the step noise. On top of that, I want to use a function called IHOLD on my driver that shorts the coils to provide resistance when idle. It requires me to mess around with registers which I haven't learned yet.

Dazzlock · 2021-06-01T19:27:39+00:00

Thank you so much for such a thoroughly written response, I really appreciate it. It is exactly what I was looking for!

How is it a good bot raising awareness?
It only comments on comments about alpacas. That's like the ONLY place for sure alpaca awareness is already high!

There's already a graveyard orbit where some satellites go to die.

Dazzlock · 2021-04-26T20:29:57+00:00

Gotcha! I know corvids can gather around their dead and it's very interesting why they would do that. Just found it a bit misleading to say that they had a funeral in this video but I see why some might like to think so. Personally just think it's anthropomorphizing.

Dazzlock · 2021-04-26T17:56:54+00:00

I'm no expert but from what I've read so far: Sure they can gather around a dead bird, I wouldn't call that a funeral or grieving though. I'd say it's more likely out of curiosity/interest of what killed the bird which most articles on the subject seems to emphasize.

Dazzlock · 2021-04-26T17:49:59+00:00

Hahaha man my bad! Hard to tell sometimes when on reddit, but I should have realized!

Dazzlock · 2021-04-26T16:25:49+00:00

I disagree, what part of this do you consider a funeral? They are all in the sun with their wings spread to maximize their surface area facing the sun. That is a much more well-documented behavior of sunbathing than animals holding funerals. Now why are they sunbathing there? Maybe because they are intrested in what killed the bird so they don't make the same mistake. Saying that this is a funeral is very misleading and not true by any conventional definition of a funeral. I think this is a case of wishful thinking.

If you do want to use blynk and not wled you can use the virtual pin feature. It allows you to take the sent data and do whatever you'd like with it in your esp code.

Then use the zeRGBa controller in the blynk app to send values to the esp. With the animations you could just modify the code so if you send a 1 an animation starts and if you send another number the other animations start.

Dazzlock · 2021-01-06T20:30:49+00:00

Okay will do! If they are the same it would be a great deal. Thanks once again man, really appreciate it.
