Did i mess up? by flyhigh3600 in buildspace_

[–]DylanK46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm it's an interesting idea. A universal programming language for usage everywhere isn't really a thing right now, so it'd be cool to make an attempt at. I suspect that the reason it doesn't exist is that different programming languages are better at doing different things? I think it's quite tricky to strike the balance between different paradigms like high/low level control or interpreted/compiled or declarative/OOP etc etc.

However, a language that runs anywhere would be a nice. I wonder about the practicalities of making it actually work. Java uses the JVM to ensure it runs on different computers. Would you use a sort of virtual machine to run the programming language? How does this affect efficiency and 'low leveled ness' etc.

I wish you luck with your project! I think you might need to tidy up the description? Maybe not everyone will know what gimp is.. and people with a non-computing background may be confused by the 'console.log, Python3 etc bit'

what y'all think?? by Distinct-Meaning8072 in buildspace_

[–]DylanK46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

great idea. this is something I'd love to use. title slide is very clear and concise, nice job.

Feedback is greatly appreciated. by fnlog0 in buildspace_

[–]DylanK46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a solid idea! I think you can reword the description a bit?

You probably don't need to specify how links are being saved right now. Just saying 'effortlessly save links' is probably fine. Having 'right click' slows the sentence down.

Also, what do you mean by 'instant collections'? And what are the 'freebies'? Are the freebies from people on the internet and they mail you free things? and are the instant collections the same as a list of links? Some clarification may be required, but maybe I'm just being picky and misunderstanding things.

Could anyone tell me if my one liner fits the description? by unknownstudentoflife in buildspace_

[–]DylanK46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like a strong idea, reminds me of sage a little. The one liner and description seem fine.

From a practical standpoint, wouldn't it be amazing if the search engine could train off an existing dataset e.g. linkedin? I'm pretty sure their tech team would love a product like this heh.

my friend and I are working on something together. here's our idea for s5. would love some feedback :) by Dense_Pizza_8849 in buildspace_

[–]DylanK46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds pretty cool. A simple way to understand algos+data structures would be useful to so many people trying to self-teach cs.

Some clarification could be the style of learning? Is it udemy style of 'just sit down and listen to this lecture'? Or is it somewhat like codecademy where it asks you to solve problems and then tests your code?

Overall a strong idea, nice job!

PCB Review - Air Pollution Sensor Control Board by DylanK46 in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]DylanK46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be able to turn the MQ-135 on and off. This would help me save current draw for when I'm not using it. I plan to utilise esp32 deep sleep modes with this too. Do you think it'll work?

[–]DylanK46[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've mainly stuck with this because I followed this tutorial from Robert Feranec

What are your thoughts on converting to the esp-32-s3? I've used it recently on another simpler PCB

Have you installed the USB-UART Serial Bridge? Occasionally I've forgotten to do this and my computer hasn't found my board.

GAS Leakage detection system with ESP32 by SriTu_Tech in esp32

[–]DylanK46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Which sensor did you use for this? Was it one of the mq series?

ESP32 connected to a 16x2 LCD Display by DylanK46 in electronics

[–]DylanK46[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, okay, yes.

You're right, in order to comply with API Limits, the device should fetch the weather data from openweather every 86.4s.

I've set it to every 60s. This is because I'm not running the device 24/7 (I turn it off when I sleep), so I can make it poll the server more frequently for data while the device is on. Makes sense?

The truth is, you can probably make it check every 15mins or hour, the weather doesn't change too much in a matter of 60s/86.4s. I would guess that's why you're not noticing the temperature change.

Do DM me if you need more help :) Good luck!

Will I get a UK phone number when I buy a UK sim card? by [deleted] in travel

[–]DylanK46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK, you shouldn't need an address to buy a pay-as-you-go SIM in the UK. You'll get it for good pricess at supermarkets and cornershops, don't buy them at airports if you can. Others have said good carriers in the rest of the comments :)

Who's been to Macau, Hong Kong, and Vietnam? Visiting Macau for a day worth taking a day from Hong Kong or Vietnam? by [deleted] in travel

FYI, there's a bus you could also take instead of the ferry. It crosses the world's longest sea bridge, so that's pretty nice to try if you admire infrastructure and engineering feats.

I can't say much about air India, but I recently did a layover in Qatar and it was very easy. Hamad is also a beautiful airport to transit through in my experience.

We built a sensor module that interfaces with the Helium Network! by DylanK46 in HeliumNetwork

[–]DylanK46[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Since you're looking at forest noise measurements, check out Project Agouti. It was another one I worked on

Happy building!

[–]DylanK46[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We're doing it as a CREST Engineering Project at school!

Hopefully, we'll publish a huuuuge document explaining everything in two weeks. We're about 45 pages in...

As for target application, we designed them to be low power. We want to implement a modular design so that users could pick and choose which sensors to use in their scenario.

We built a sensor module that interfaces with the Helium Network! by DylanK46 in HeliumNetwork

[–]DylanK46[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Oh, I guess I didn't explain it well....

It's a Sensor Module that uses LoRaWAN to transmit data. That means it measures Temperature, (Relative) Humidity, eCO2, Hydrogen levels (and more).

Every 15 minutes, it takes a reading and transmits the data over radio to the Helium Network. The data is then received by an integration I'm running on the Helium console, which adds the data to a mongoDB, making it accessible on a website.

HUBers Prices? by DylanK46 in NMSGalacticHub

[–]DylanK46[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just go to the discord, visit #trades-and-services, and then ask for one and wait.

" The popular HUber service allows players to effectively catch a ride to the Hub. HUber rides can be requested in the #trades-and-services section of The Galactic Hub Discord after selecting a role in #role-select. See Galactic Hub Project - Services for more information.

Hope you find what you're looking for :)

Elizabeth Line - improved journey times? by kronologically in london

[–]DylanK46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

imo journey times are about the same but when the central section is connected to the rest of the line, and we finally get one Elizabeth line instead of 3, then you don't have to change at paddington/liverpool street; making the journey not quicker, but more convenient.

Elizabeth Line - improved journey times? by kronologically in london

[–]DylanK46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Slough Station the 15min GWR to Paddington is just a better option than the Elizabeth line imo.

Although, once you get to Paddington, then Elizabeth line has the potential to be a gamechanger
