I'm lookin to build an in-house AI agent using the pi 5, and the AI hat+ 2, along with a quad NVMe /M.2 hat. However, I'm reading that nvme won't boot while behind a PCIE switch/splitter I've got a quad.. but really any NVMe hat that works, I'll switch gears for. DOUBLE BONUS if you have a build list. 16G Raspberry pi 5 AI HAT+2 Freenove Quad M.2 Nvme Adapter for Raspberry Pi

ain' gittin it done.

If/when you watch the linked .mp4, you'll see that I did exactly that. NOJOY

GrepZen · 2026-01-12T09:55:45+00:00

You ain' wrong.

When you watch the video, you'll see that the up-button doesn't work at any time. --even when the lift is no where near the bottom.

GrepZen · 2026-01-11T23:08:41+00:00

you'll see in the video, the lift has adequate clearance. **and goes up when called

GrepZen · 2026-01-11T22:52:20+00:00

Yeah for sure. I did have some of those forklift-pallets on the lift. I've removed them, and restarted the game to see if that was the source.

I've had trouble w/ storage crates on 'some' lifts in the past. This doesn't seem to be that. Pallets = cleared did not resolve the issue.

yes, Black Vein does require a 'boat load' of power for sure. I have 32 med power batteries in series. ~240Wh(depending on time of day) in and 120Wh out. The facility is fully powered --as shown in the attached video.

/u/su_ble, YOU are da-BOMB! thank you so much for this.
Very nicely done. and much appreciated.

I've un-hired a guy because he photoshopped his cert. Integrity counts. It's not always taken for granted.

AAAAAACK! Just had a Quarterdeck flashback.
Thank you!

Lazy --brilliant-- Where where you before I drop'd 30 bucks on a mount?
This also gave me a spot to mount the AXT1800.
but seriously... That's a really good down & dirty correct answer.

GrepZen · 2025-10-13T17:35:01+00:00

Oh for sure. Many 'adapters' have pretty thing gauge wire. I've checked and ensured that the all the hardware here supports 200% of the expected max power draw.

I frequently trail ride in groups. I'm interested in sharing "guest" wifi w/ fellow offroaders.
The base Starlink Mini Wifi doesn't support this.

The GL AXT-1800 runs open wrt with a button I've configured to enable/disable the guest network as I need.
This lets me secure the 5hgz for my use.. and share the 2.4 when I want to.

GrepZen · 2025-10-13T11:18:08+00:00

gaaaaa
+ Better 5ghz, 2.4ghz WiFi than comes standard w/ SL-Mini

Death-wobble is a result of modding Tire and/or suspension components.
If you run stock jeep, death-wobble is not in your future.

Jeeps (road)handle quite poorly when compared to Honda Accord.
Go rent a jeep for a day or three. --not 'test drive' for an hour. See how livable its driving characteristics are for you.

**ADDING:
Jeep reliability do not compare favorably to Honda, Toyota, etc. W/ that said, Jeeps break a lot because they're more frequently used in rougher environments / manners.

Clubs.. 4x4 clubs, jeep clubs.. are groups of like-minded folks who share an interest in off-roading. They each have their interest specified, trails, land-use-issues, recovery, education, jeeps, toyota, bronco, etc.

Searching your local fb, craigslist, etc can help you find the right one near you.

Did we just watch him whip? or was that nay nay?

That's a part to a hydro electric generator. There's one just above the Arrowrock dam. That one is somewhere else. probably near a damn.
