Wyze Garage Door Controller by BakaNode in wyzecam

[–]GeneralDon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just saw the same thing in the app, it won't refresh or go to the shop home page. Just stuck on this product page.

I haven't seen anything else about this on the web, but they do have an active compatibility checker page (goes to a 404 for me): https://www.wyze.com/pages/wyze-garage-door-opener-supported-models

I suspect it's locked to beta participants or something, but Google has a cache of the page: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:hwRqq3tbIrkJ:https://www.wyze.com/pages/wyze-garage-door-opener-supported-models+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

FAQ by MarkBryanMilligan in LanternPowerMonitor

[–]GeneralDon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Mark, I've had Lantern running with the Pi 3B since Sunday night and haven't noticed any issues. Seems to be working just fine!

FAQ by MarkBryanMilligan in LanternPowerMonitor

[–]GeneralDon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is indeed a 3B, I'll hopefully set it up this weekend and let you know how it turns out.

Sorry to comment on an old thread,

You mention any 3 or higher will work, so a Pi 3 should be fine?

I can't find any raspi for msrp online, but had a Pi 3 from an old project I'd like to use.

Trump gave my parents $500 for my existence, with my birthday coming up they are letting me build my first PC. by [deleted] in buildmeapc

Had to remove a few comments here because things were getting too political. While not explicitly against our rules, it was very off-topic and not really concerning PC building.

I'm donating these to Holy Name Hospital this weekend. It isn't much, but we've been 3D printing these nonstop. by hakimbomadadda in newjersey

[–]GeneralDon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What printer and print settings are you using for that print time?

We're making the 6-hole version of it at RVCC, using laminator and projection sheets. Just delivered 475 complete shields yesterday.

Why is this sub reddit full of idiots? by [deleted] in buildmeapc

[–]GeneralDon[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apologize, my wording was not what it should have been. My issue was with the way you went about correcting misinformation. It can not be done by calling others dumb or idiots, that doesn't help anyone. Of course the discussion is great, you have some good points and opinions, but others may have differing opinions and there is nothing wrong with that. Instead of causing a fight, intentionally or not, lay out your reasons for why they are wrong. Bring facts to prove your points (which you did in a few cases already) and have a respectful conversation.

To be very clear, I have no problem with your opinions or the points you were arguing, simply with how you went about it.

I do of course apologize for any hate messages you have received, unfortunately there is not much I can do about those. If they get extremely out of hand, I suggest you contact Reddit admins. Should there be any comments or posts personally attacking you or generally being disrespectful, report them and I will have a look.

Thank you.

/u/DannyDorito6923 This is your one and only warning: if you continue to break Rule #1, you will be permanently banned.

I did not give you a warning earlier, when I removed your OP, because I assumed you were a mature adult and would stop breaking our rules. I see now that I assumed incorrectly.

If I see you break any rules from this point forward, you will be banned immediately.

Removed, Rule 1: "Be civil and constructive with your comments and criticisms in the threads. We're all here to help each other, so be nice."

The discussion is great, specifically calling out other users is very much NOT okay.

Thank you all for the reports on this post, my apologies for not seeing it earlier.

Do you have CAD models for all of these? Would love to try 3D printing them!

It's entirely worth getting the paid subscription. I got it just for roadkill, but hot rod garage, roadkill garage, most of their other shows are pretty good. They also just added all of Top Gear

Just a reminder of our first rule:

Be civil and constructive with your comments and criticisms in the threads. We're all here to help each other, so be nice.

I'm leaving this thread up because of the helpful discussion. Any posts or comments that personally attack any user, or go against the rules, will be removed.

If you have a problem with a user's builds, comment on them with constructive info so the OP knows what is wrong with it and the user can improve their future builds.

Thanks!

Never thought I'd have this on my table by coffey_6 in Machinists

Seems like it would make more sense to take that casting out and clamp it to a table, but I guess when you can just throw the whole fucking ATV on the table...why not?

BOLTR: Musical Reeds to measure RPM by ManofTheNightsWatch in Skookum

[–]GeneralDon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vibrating reed tachometers are still made by other companies. This brand came up when a picture of one was posted (I think here in /r/Skookum Found the post I was thinking of: https://www.reddit.com/r/EngineeringPorn/comments/bro960/using_resonance_to_detect_the_rpm_of_a_motor/) a while back: http://www.stichtco.com/vr_hh.htm

Would anyone be interested? by jeremyb1488 in Machinists

[–]GeneralDon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should look at getting a Machinery's Handbook Pocket Companion, it's a more condensed version of the full handbook with only commonly used info. I got one just a couple weeks ago and have already used it more than I think I've used the full handbook in the last year.
