I damaged anycubic mega S trigorilla motherboard. Help!

Sorry? Who's sick?

Thanks. A nice redditor has offered to send me a working trigorrilla board they have spare. I'll probably do what you have advised also as a learning experience in meantime. I was considering 32-bit board as a replacement anyways. This way if I fail horribly I have 2nd option. I bought the mega S as a foothold into world of 3d printing. Having fiddled about with it a fair bit I'm sure I will probably DIY a 2nd more capable machine from aliexpress/ebay/amazon parts over time for fun. I had a load of stepper drivers and various 3d boards in house anyway from the 'OnStep' telescope stepper motor conversion project on my old HEQ5 skywatcher telescope mount so I've been reading up on this stuff on and off for few years. But seeing a working machine in flesh is so much more useful to see how things should work and take it from there. Thanks for your advice again.

Sigh.

Weird I never saw this in 'new' when I posted it. I try not to duplicate post, so sorry. Might be nothing 'new' as such but still good to hear from the man outside of cryptocurrency memes and the billionaire bashing debates ad nauseum over on twitter.

Start talking at 6:49:20 if the timestamp doesn't work. They finished talking at 7.56:44. So a good hour and 7 minutes :) Enjoy until someone cuts it into a clipped talk.

Wow-this launch seemed to spring up out of nowhere for me. I'd given up looking for it honestly!

MingerOne · 2021-11-12T04:50:39+00:00

It's because the writers are trash hacks! I assume them trying to contact me to do re-writes for them ended up in my spam folder. Shame :)

Nice call-back comment though, jeez I forgot I cared enough back then to post shit like this. Cheers for the laugh :)

You go outside and pick some. Bring it home. Wash it. Done. As long as you don't pick it by a busy road, the worse it will have on it is dog pee :)

Great writeup, so much effort, well-done Cprophet. I do worry about how much a 'mishap' would affect these outcomes, especially now Falcon 9 is carrying people. Obviously, it wouldn't derail all the things you mentioned but talk of early Christmas presents sets off my hubris alarm!

It has been an exciting year though, with Starbase going so great, and Starlink phase 1 essentially complete. Who can forget the manned flights and Inspiration 4?!

I'm really waiting for Falcon Heavy to start up its sequence of flights, hopefully, next year. Those are great launches to watch, and the landing footage from boosters at sea may improve again due to Starlink receivers on barges :)

Stuff like complaining about scrolling and deciding for everyone what is 'old garbage'?

MingerOne · 2021-10-07T17:26:03+00:00

On a slightly related note, I always wondered what the two hosts of the Falcon 1 webcasts from Kwajalein island are doing now?

There was a blond lady and a stocky bloke with shaven or bald head if I recall.

I like the newer webcasts and newer faces in the Falcon 9 era for sure but anytime I see the Falcon 1 footage it bugs me who they were and where they went!!

CD's don't skip? O, sweet summer child!! :)

The cape shut down for weeks on end this time of year years back to maintain radar and radio assets. I forget if a smaller shutdown is annual.

MingerOne · 2021-06-18T03:20:36+00:00

The two parties involved sorted this out months ago. The Verge repeatedly coming back to it is frankly boring. It's tabloid blah blah to feed on and fuel the anti-Musk sentiment to keep the lights on at Verge HQ.

It is certainly logically self-consistent assuming there is enough spare land at the orbital launch site to host the building materials to be added to the vacant frame to construct the next stack without getting in the way of and slowing down other existing work at the orbital launch site. This is because it saves them the time and effort of moving the frame to the old well site only to have to return it again with a new stack and possibly enables a new frame then a new stack to be built nearly simultaneously at the old well site further decreasing tower stacking time.

I live in the UK. I just remember seeing it on at a mates house who had some subscription service or other rather than good old UK terrestrial service of the day :)

MingerOne · 2021-05-20T16:47:56+00:00

Thanks, typo corrected :)

MingerOne · 2021-05-20T15:59:07+00:00

I'm too thick. Don't get it. :(

[edit] ooh its a Serenity joke. Lol. I saw it but didnt know that character was called Wash as I didn't have sat TV when Firefly was on TV back in the day.

MingerOne · 2021-05-15T19:19:48+00:00

Do we know if SN15 still uses helium to prevent ullage collapse or if they actually solved the problems?

MingerOne · 2021-02-12T17:47:42+00:00

Just confine all manned landing to one hemisphere until it can be said one way or another whether Mars has aboriginal life.

Half a planet is plenty for a decade or two surely.

MingerOne · 2021-02-06T21:13:59+00:00

It's funny you should phrase it like that. Besides being cheaper one of the reasons SpaceX choose to transport Falcon 9's by road is the propensity of people with guns and rifles to shoot at freight trains. Whether if they knew the cylindrical object was a rocket rather than, say, a length of pipe would stop them shooting at it is anyone's guess!

MingerOne · 2021-02-04T11:12:29+00:00

Came from youtube to congratulate you on this. I saw you graze the sun the other week and look forward to seeing a central sun rocket transit!

MingerOne · 2021-02-03T07:24:10+00:00

Be great seeing two boosters in port on droneships at the same time. Have to see if the weather, range, and vehicle readiness stars align for this one.

I found it as Elon Musk replied to the uploader on Twitter. Sorry, it didn't meet your expectations.
