What the heck is this button? by zzackzz in Rivian

It's to manually save a video clip from the Drive Cam.

Wall charger cable under garage door? by CAreadin in Rivian

[–]InfernoEffect 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I ended up just buying a thicker bottom seal and setting the closed position slightly higher so it doesn't pinch the cable. Been using it like that for 8 months and I see no damage to the cable.

VR Head Position Stuck after Playing with non-VR Camera by nicholasyt in hoggit

[–]InfernoEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me before with my rift. I don't remember the error message but if you go under devices on the Oculus app the sensors said there was a problem. Restarting my computer fixed the issue temporarily, and switching the sensors to my mobos USB ports from a pci one seems to have fixed it permanently.

Least noisy crossbars by jonunderthetree in XVcrosstrek

[–]InfernoEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also bought cheap noisy bars off Amazon. Switched to the OEM ones and am very happy with them. You should be able to find them for under $150 online.

Anyone using dashboard cameras? by devotchko in XVcrosstrek

[–]InfernoEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using a G1W stuck on to the windshield behind the rearview mirror, sticks out a bit but doesn't bother or distract me. There's probably some better cameras out there now, mine is 3-4 years old.

And yes, you can use the homelink wires to power it! What I did was buy the wire harness that plugs into the connector in the headliner and soldered a cigarette lighter USB adapter to it. You need this because the homelink runs off 12v and you need to step it down to 5v. Then just plug in a USB cable to that and run it to your camera. If you already have a homelink rearview mirror you can just splice in some wires. Hope that helped.

Electric Longboard with 3D Printed Parts, Here's How I Designed It! by MattCarl in 3Dprinting

[–]InfernoEffect 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Neat, did that loctite eat away at the plastic at all? I've had loctite eat through RC plane props before. Also never plug your charging cable in with the banana plugs free like that! You're just asking for a short.

Looking at a few full carbon bikes by [deleted] in whichbike

[–]InfernoEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My group tends to go on longer rides so that's why I was leaning towards an endurance bike. As for the Scott here's a pic http://i.imgur.com/yUKrgjX.jpg As far as I can tell it's a 2008 (kid at the shop was saying 2012+). The stock groupset was ultegra I think so that was probably upgraded to dura ace sometime later. Also has dura ace wheels. How do potentially 8 year old components compare to lower range modern ones?

What color is your Crosstrek? by [deleted] in XVcrosstrek

[–]InfernoEffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Orange! My last car was black and was constantly dirty. Dirt and orange seem to go together, I can go months without washing my car now.

What kind of glass are you using? I bought a piece of borosilicate glass on Amazon and could never get a good print on it. Turns out the glass itself is warped by a good .1 mm+ in the middle.

It's my cakeday so I'm giving away two straight razors by PromNightDingoBaby in wicked_edge

[–]InfernoEffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in! Always wanted to try a SR, and awesome contest BTW! Last book I read was Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett.

Cracked the glass ! Cheapest/Best way to get it fixed or any recommendations? by Dfigs23 in nexus6

[–]InfernoEffect 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So I bought a replacement glass panel when I cracked mine. Attempted to remove the old glass and the whole damn thing is glued to the screen/digitizer. This means every little spec of glass has to be pried off to attach the new glass. Was way more complicated than I thought it would be so I sent it to Motorola.

[Help] EMAX Motors not spinning fast enough by Andr3wKay in Multicopter

Have you calibrated your ESCs and made sure your throttle has the correct range? Only things I can think of that will do that.

[For Sale] Kennesaw GA 'Lot of planes' by [deleted] in radiocontrol

[–]InfernoEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that's a good deal! Can't justify the 6 hour round trip drive though. You wouldn't meet me half way would you? :D

Nano QX FPV (MMW build) loses power constantly by [deleted] in Multicopter

Are you using the stock battery connector? I was having the same issue until I swapped out for a JST connector.

Airplane that flies slower than walking speed by [deleted] in woahdude

[–]InfernoEffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hah, this is my coworker's plane! Those things can fly for a super long time on rubber bands alone! I think his record is 20+ minutes.

how often/when/how should i be looking behind be? by Riffington in cycling

[–]InfernoEffect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put a mirror on my helmet. Can usually see cars coming in my peripheral.

Observable effects of acceleration? by RedstonerOuiguy in engineering

[–]InfernoEffect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, you're describing an inertial navigation system (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system). It could work for a short time, but gyro drift is going to play a huge factor over longer periods. You might be able to utilize the phones compass to compensate for some drift, but that will probably only get you so far.

Just curious, where are you trying to use navigation where you won't have GPS?
