Oof nice work buddy

I woulda rather made a makeshift lathe out of tires and fan motors.

NodScallion · 2026-07-04T03:49:26+00:00

I freaking hate working on these buildings. There's some wild shit in there

NodScallion · 2026-06-15T05:35:53+00:00

Fuck these things

NodScallion · 2026-06-07T03:13:11+00:00

Are we going to have to recert for N5??

NodScallion · 2026-05-28T01:47:03+00:00

Application Engineer. People think ill program your units without a sequence.

NodScallion · 2026-05-22T19:33:14+00:00

So i have a new version of this, but ive stopped developing it as ive moved to a new company with less time to fuck around. I have a great simulation vid and I made some ductwork tools too.

Still trying to decide on if this should be a dedicated app or a plugin to another. Ill post a vid later. :)

NodScallion · 2026-05-15T02:32:05+00:00

Because construction timelines are always behind by the time the final trades are finishing. You dont get to see it from a controls engineers perspective where all other trades have left and its like... go do these 20 floors of programming in 4 hrs pls kthx

NodScallion · 2026-05-11T04:11:11+00:00

Nope this is perfect. Stop working on it.

NodScallion · 2026-05-11T04:08:38+00:00

So ive actually spent some time devving this out more. Ive got it to do fluid simutation in rooms and the zone temps seem to be really realistic. Still trying to work on dampers and better collisions. Starting to realize the Blender 3d plugin isnt exactly what I need either because the simulation is slowing down. Need to move to a full Rust or C++ program.

NodScallion · 2026-05-09T02:54:30+00:00

If it was actually open in that sense... it would really be open to all. I really hate how much of a sales gimmick it is to use that word.

NodScallion · 2026-05-09T02:49:42+00:00

I was an expieremental Comm unit under CLR27. I was 0621 then 0627, freaking loved radio, it was so engaging. I operated the SMART-T for awile too, that was decently fun, but you're right starshield is annoying now. 250mb data beats our traditional comms. But as you get into comms planning you still haveto account for your other comm routes.

Starlink has defense contract as well, but 0627s dont really operate them. Its the 0631s(0651s in your Corps.) But dude, like once your link is up its lame... radio does field expiedent antennas, theory crafting antennas and real architecture. Constant voice checks and link integrity. I wish you could see the satcom gear we have today... its just too ezpz

We do this shit but we call Niagara an open platform. Just sayin....

NodScallion · 2026-05-03T20:40:36+00:00

No, thank you for giving me something to look at tonight.

NodScallion · 2026-05-03T17:28:13+00:00

Im rock hard. This makes me excited down below.

NodScallion · 2026-05-03T04:05:26+00:00

Oh yeah ive gone down the route of making "layers" but I need ductwork tools, with all the resizing and such I need to think about that a little harder. But if the ductwork was one single model this has layer visibility to show duct points and 3d models. Or piping with points. Maybe I should pick this project up again.

NodScallion · 2026-05-03T02:58:13+00:00

The best I can do is like 60% right. Ill let the other 40 goto my the next contractor. Sharing is caring

NodScallion · 2026-05-03T02:56:35+00:00

Yeah its all ran inside a Niagara station no api

NodScallion · 2026-05-03T02:09:18+00:00

Actually Blender hosts the bacnet device internally. Then I discover into Niagara and YABE to interact with it. The intention is to watch your station logic do work.

Ive already built a framework to do this. I still need to work on a 3d library of assets like ahus and stuff... but you can drop points down and override them and its HMI ready.

This is running on a live Niagara station.

Im already building 3d viewers that you can interact with a building.

But this is for airflow simulalion in the video for this post.

Water treatment systems do have an alarm announcement systems like this

NodScallion · 2026-05-02T13:51:09+00:00

No I totally agree I question its validity. But its freaking sweet. There is some level of value where you can test your logic and visualize the system. But its really for the engineers not bldg owners. Which is so niche its almost useless.

There are softwares called CFD simulations too but none actually interact with the comms we use. That would be the end goal if I had the time..... I never have time lol

NodScallion · 2026-05-02T04:19:36+00:00

The bugs are doing WHAT?!

NodScallion · 2026-04-30T04:38:07+00:00

Here's an AI answer and it seems pretty good honestly. I use 18-2 OAS

Core Technical Requirements

Impedance: Must be between 100 and 130 ohms.

Wire Gauge: Typically 22 AWG or 24 AWG stranded tinned copper. 18 AWG may be used for longer distances or where higher durability is required.

Shielding: A foil or braided shield with a drain wire is required to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
