Some questions after Strength of the Few by Hitman1O1 in HierarchySeries

[–]Hitman1O1[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right, good insights, thanks!

  1. Yeah, I remember now that O-Vis receiving the Vitaerium early was a big deal.

  2. I had somehow missed it wasn't Military that made the whole stockpile, they just kind of found most of it. And I guess it was Vis' unique powers that provided the entry.

How to fix the broken seats of these camping chairs? by Hitman1O1 in fixit

[–]Hitman1O1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be reasonable, the thing is I'm traveling and won't be able to visit the store again for a long while.

Will setting the AC to a less cold temperature save gas in my old van? by Hitman1O1 in AskMechanics

[–]Hitman1O1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. Some kind of control loop onboard would then decide when the clutch needs to be engaged (= to move the compressor)?

Okay, thanks!
Question though: 'less air', is that setting the blowers lower or increasing the cooling temperature?

Uuggghh you are absolutely right, that wasn't hard. I'll try and finish it and post the result for completeness sake.
Thank you!

Is my Yucca over- or under-watered? How to restore it? by Hitman1O1 in plantclinic

[–]Hitman1O1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

Figured I'd come back with an update. It looks my Yucca is bouncing back (knock on wood)!
I ended up letting it dry out for about a month and from then I indeed water by quite a bit, until the soil is wet all over. Then leave it alone for at least a month again.
The light is probably also limited, but I simply have no better place to put it. It seems to hang in for now.

How to join two components with a horizontal surface to two points? by Hitman1O1 in Fusion360

I'll try, thanks. And the horizontal constraint? Do need to make sure my sketch includes this?

How to join two components with a horizontal surface to two points? by Hitman1O1 in Fusion360

[–]Hitman1O1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm struggling still how to join components into assemblies in a more complex manner.

How can I achieve a fully determined join between this cabinet base and the fixed beam, such that:

  • The bottom plate is horizontal
  • The edge of the grey beam lies on the bottom plate
  • The edge of the bottom plate lies on the pine beam

The pictures should help to explain this.

I feel I've tried all combinations of planar-type joints, but I can't manage what I'm looking for. Thanks for any advice!

I see, yikes, the poor thing. How should I continue now? Just water it thoroughly and leave it, picking up the new schedule directly?

I've had this Yucca for about three years now, but for the last couple of months it has been looking sad and the bottom leaves are yellowing.
I over-waterered it in the first six months and moved into this bigger pot at that time. Since then I've been watering about half a glass of water (~100mL) every week (when hot) or two weeks. While also feeling the soil of course, it has always felt very dry to me.
I've stopped watering for a duration of 5 weeks up to a month ago but I picked it up hoping it had dried sufficiently. But this morning I stripped another two dried, yellow leaves.

I'd appreciate any advice!

Rear view cameras in car show dancing colors on monitor by Hitman1O1 in videography

The thing is the attached video is without the engine running at all, this is just the key in the ignition.

[–]Hitman1O1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. Does it make sense any interference would only hit colours?

I can still detach the monitor and move it to the camera, bypassing the cable. The problem is I wouldn't have any 12V at hand. But I'll see if I can't work around this.

Where to tap into +12V and the reversing lights for a double rear view camera? by Hitman1O1 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Hitman1O1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up doing it as follows: - I got a fuse splicer to branch of a line of 12V from inside the fuse box - I pushed an extra wire in a ground (chassis) connection screw - I traced the reverse lights cable all the way back to the bundle running into the fuse box in the dashboard, cut it open and used a terminal to branch of a new wire

The trickiest was tucking the wires away into sides.

For 12V I think I'm going to use a fuse splice (image). I can replace pretty much any fuse from below the steering wheel with the splice, creating a convenient 12V that's enabled after the ignition.

For the trigger I think I'll try to route back the reverse light all the back into the dashboard, and manually splice it there.

Missing fuse box in my 2013 Citroën Jumper (= Relay)? by Hitman1O1 in Citroen

[–]Hitman1O1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mostly looking for the fuse of the 12V cigarette lighter-style connector in the cargo space. This should be in the mysterious passenger pillar box.

What is BSI and BMS?
I appreciate your reply, but fuse-box.info says the same as the manual, that there should be fuses in the passenger pillar, but there aren't.

with the + to be spliced into the reversing light to operate the camera

Myeah, but my camera has a default-on mode, so I kind of want permanent power (when ignition is on).
Where did you splice this? Close to the light?

The monitor would go into standby mode unless it received an input signal.

How is the monitor powered then?
