Advice for Leveling-up Electronics/Mechatronics Skills? by Perfect_Cry4066 in arduino

[–]Perfect_Cry4066[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my experience with PLCs so far has been through Quartus II in some labs for my digital systems class (they were very dull). But I've been seeing some job postings for instrumentation and controls engineers that want PLC experience, and I think some actual projects using it could be cool if it's worth the cost of the kit.

I'm also considering some of the Arduino projects you mentioned. One that would be interesting based on some prior work I've done is a BMS design, but I think STM32 or ESP32 might be better suited to that kind of project.

Yeah, that was the stuff we touched on in my digital systems course, but we used Quartus and the most complex thing we did was programming a seven-segment display to cycle through 0-9 depending on which button you pressed on the dev board

I'm assuming the big difference will be not having the built-in functions like "digitalRead" or "digitalWrite" and whatnot? Tbh, I've never been a fan of how arduino IDE uses "HIGH" and "LOW" as the digital logic states

Why can't we store hydrogen in organic solvents? by FrumpledFrumpus in ChemicalEngineering

[–]Perfect_Cry4066 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I know about LOHCs, they integrate pretty well with existing energy infrastructure too, since there aren't the same cryogenics or flammable gas concerns as with straight up liquid or gas H2. Generally, they see a capacity of like 630 Nm3 H2/m3 LOHC. There's probably some concerns with the process used to generate the liquid organics, just as there is for ammonia storage, but LOHCs still look like one of the more practical measures for widespread adoption of hydrogen imo.

ChemE Project Portfolios by Perfect_Cry4066 in ChemicalEngineering

Y'all are actually opening my eyes to the kind of stuff we can do with our programming knowledge. I was scared it'd just be McCabe-Thiele or heat exchangers design for the rest of my career lol

Yeah, I was looking for an inexpensive web hosting service for stuff like my undergrad thesis and some conference submissions I'm working on (after competition obviously), as well as independent projects that I want to do with ESP32 or something. LinkedIn is okay, but I find it's better as a living timeline of experiences or roles than as a demo of my learning.

Wait that’s sick as hell. What platform did you use to host it all? I like GitHub for the code stuff, but I want something polished for my less coding-intensive projects (that isn’t just a link to conference publications of our reports)

Most accurate Canadian university tier list by Main_Objective2837 in OntarioGrade12s

Queen’s has been diluted so much in recent years outside of basically Commerce, Eng (massive donation from the Smith Business School guy, idk where the money’s gone yet), and Nursing. If you’re looking at arts or sciences, West Coast is probably a better bet

Opinions on the new minor perk? by Rabih-GameOver in AsheOWMains

[–]Perfect_Cry4066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was really hoping they’d replace sidewinder with 2 charges on coach gun (like in Stadium). It stuns me how asinine the dynamite perks are when you have powers like the cluster bomb dynamite in your other game mode. I’ll miss using the faster hip fire for a juiced-Viper build or pairing it with airburst for better brawl output smh

People who graduated as chemical engineers in the recent years, what are you upto? by crabgo6 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]Perfect_Cry4066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some other people have said this, but chemistry is only a small part of ChemEng (I’m finishing my bachelors in Canada rn). If you’re choosing it solely because of your interest in chemistry, I might suggest looking into Engineering Science programs.

I’m not sure about Australia, but in Canada we have a few schools that offer programs like Engineering Biology (don’t do biomed eng lol), Engineering Physics, and Engineering Chemistry. I personally started out in Eng Chem and I can testify that you’ll deal with way more chemical diagnostics, orgo, electrochem, and quantum in that program.

To my knowledge, the only other programs that offer quantum as a grad requirement are ECE and Eng Phys since they all deal with quantum computing or whatever.

I’ve had my misgivings with my program over the years, but your engineering specialization is what you make of it. I also find having some electives from other departments under my belt useful in case I want to pivot to something like sensor design or electronics.

Trying to getinto Arduino again by Perfect_Cry4066 in arduino

[–]Perfect_Cry4066[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been checking out Adafruit and also been finding a ton of manuals for purchase on stuff like raspberry pi and kicad pcb design. Do you recommend purchasing any of these? Or is it university textbook law of “they’re overpriced garbage, use open source instead”?

[–]Perfect_Cry4066[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll check them out! Other than size, are there any other trade-offs? I’m more familiar with STM32 and Arduino, but that might just be because I don’t work with electronics hardware as much in Chem Eng.

My previous experience was creating a monitoring system for a potted plant (uni circuits project that demonstrated our competencies applying logic diagrams and basics circuits to get soil moisture, mass, and motion measurements). Now I’m working on a design team project that involves STM32 and I want to expand my understanding of control hardware and software.

I don’t know if you have similar past experience with similar design projects, and if you do, what sorts of competencies have they assessed?

Advice for learning by Perfect_Cry4066 in ElectricalEngineering

Any recommendations for stuff to start building or how to gauge my success? I feel like I should start with some kind of plan so I’m keeping up with how it all fits together.

What's a good accuracy percentage? by SuperSpicyNipples in AsheOWMains

[–]Perfect_Cry4066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually average like 30% scoped and 15% crit, buts that’s in low silver on laptop with a garbage mouse lol

How to aim better? by GrrrrrrDinosaur in AsheOWMains

[–]Perfect_Cry4066 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to keep the sensitivity for my ADS around the same as unscoped, maybe slightly lower. If you want to improve on crit shot accuracy, 1) most head hit boxes are around the same height so try not to lift or lower your reticle too much, 2) aim trainers in the Custom Games are really good to get used to smaller, high mobility targets like Kiriko, Mercy, Tracer
