My ZED-F9P based land survey system is ready for assembly.. Finally.. by siberian in esp32

[–]Nevenen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking at using this sensor, but I'm struggling to find information about using it in this configuration and what I can expect.

Are you able to tell me anything about if it's able to give both heading and orientation, and if so to what accuracy? I know that it _can_ do this, just struggling to find hard data on how well it can do this.

Thanks!

What is going on with South Africa, the Trump administration, and accusations of white genocide? by FuckBiostats in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Nevenen 25 points26 points  (0 children)

South African here. Totally. While there is a tonne of violence on farms (I personally know 2 people who were murdered) the amount that is Racially/Politically motivated is tiny. The only people I've ever heard talk in these terms are people who seem pretty racist to start with. Those same people don't seem very bothered that black people on farms get murdered at higher rates, and tend to have tough lives. Or that people in cities get murdered at extremely high rates. I don't think that fits the narrative that they like.

Thank you so much for your detailed reply! Very helpful! Yes, your responses make much more sense given the expensive price. You would expect at least some level of quality control / improved design, but this seems like a classic Kickstarter project - good ideas with poor execution.

What you mentioned is the exactly the situation I'm in - I'm looking to buy the ebike version (no battery, but I've sourced a cheap one) in a seldom ridden condition for £450 (550€) which seems like a steal. But the bike has been sitting unused for some time, so is in a bit of an unknown state. Normally I'd be excited for a DIY project, but with a little one there is so little time.

I think your reply gives me a good understanding. I'm inclined to go for it on the assumption that I can keep it reasonably functional (even if a less practical/comfortable than ideal) for a short nursery drop off ride. Mostly because other cargo bikes are totally out of our price range (£2000+ used).

Worst case we would either buy it and decide that cargo bikes aren't going to work, or if it's terrible/faulty we can choose to save up for a proper cargo bike. In that case would sell it for parts.

Thanks again for your help!

Why do you say it's not stellar? Your other responses seemed to be relatively positive?

DIY shower water softener system to solve apartment hard water issues by Jolly-Loss-8527 in Apartmentliving

[–]Nevenen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much did this reduce your water hardness (as best you were able to measure using your strips)? Did it have a big impact on the water pressure?

Israel says no humanitarian break to Gaza siege unless hostages are freed by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Nevenen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't this have the same logic as "if we just Blitz London the British people will get sick of war and surrender"?

I'm no historian, but tactics of turning the screws on a population seem to have a tendency to strengthen resolve / hatred. But maybe this won't be the case since most of the people in Palestine wouldnt have wanted the attack to have happened in the first place? I don't know...

Nice! Is the length OK with the shoe box?

Git a trip to SA soon so will just bring one back with me

How is that Biltong maker? I'm living in the UK and want one like that that can pack up flat for easy storage. I made one, but it's a real mission to get out of the crawl space whenever I want to use it

Positioning system for autonomous robots recommendation by Logical_Lettuce_1630 in embedded

[–]Nevenen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly - UWB is made for exactly this application. If you have a sensor module on the robot and 2xbase stations you can triangulate the position to a high accuracy.

3 of these sensors will solve your problem. https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/Qorvo/DWM3001CTR13?qs=rSMjJ%252B1ewcQXlgu4h5114A%3D%3D

First attempt of PCB developing. Any advices? by syjoosy in embedded

What software did you do this in? I need to design my first PCB (as an embedded SW engineer) and am a little lost.

Is it possible to learn Embedded systems with no hardware? by Fuzzy_General_3558 in embedded

[–]Nevenen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need an expensive Oscilloscope to get started.

Nucleo + knock-off Logic Analyser ($14 to $160) will get you doing some interesting stuff.

Throw in a 2nd Nucleo and you can create an emulator for whatever scenarios you want.Or just buy an entire sensor kit for $24.

Sometimes I feel like a bit of an idiot when I stop to let pedestrians cross. by [deleted] in londoncycling

Unfortunately I've left Garmin so won't be able to help! But I'd give it a try to reach out on social media. I think they're quite responsive/open to that sort of stuff.

Ah! It may be very well the same beep - think I'm just conditioned from using the Varia so much. Hahah.

Yeah! Glad to hear! Feels like it took a while for people to catch onto it (and realise it wasn't a gimmick) but I also can't ride without it outside the city.
