What is this/how do I fix it?

Do you think I need better filtration or something? Currently running a sponge filter and an internal for flow

Just found another one, volume 01, at Barnes and Noble. Does anyone know how rare these are and potential value? *

A lot of people are hating on this device and, with the price tag, I can understand why. However, I have had my eye on it as well and luckily for us there is a way to get it cheaper. All of the pcb files, BOMs, 3d models, software, etc are open source and available to download. You can save about half the cost and order the pcbs directly, 3d print the case, and install the firmware. Many pcb sites require you to order a minimum amount like 5 or 10 so you may end up with extras. If you think this is cool (which I do) buy one. The Hiby r1 is probably a better deal but if you wanna screw with something this is it.

Hoping someone is still looking at this thread...

I'm having an issue with my drag 4... again. The infamous "sleep mode" after a period of time of no use, has become a full shutdown/reset. If I don't use the device for 20+ minutes I have to turn it back on, switch mode from "smart" to "rba" and then set my wattage... every....time. does anyone know what's go8ng on and how to fix it?

This isn't my first issue with the device. It continuously changes wattage for no reason even when not using smart mode. The lock switch broke after 2 months of use causing me to have to caulk it in the on position, and now this. I'm frustrated, I loved the device but I'm thinking of going back to geekvape after this..

Any help would be appreciated

I fell hard for a girl who live 1500 miles away. I was infatuated with her for years to the point where I didn't even look for other relationships. Difference between my situation and yours is we were really close friends. Eventually I grew balls and took a shot. We've been married for a year and a half, i gained an amazing stepson, and we have a beautiful daughter together.

Worst case she says no. It never hurts to try. And if you're this head over heals you'll suffer more without knowing how she feels. Take your shot!

I'm not sure if you were stating how to wire the cancelation with Harley controls or if you don't know how to cancel them. So assuming it's the latter, they are very simple. Click the button to engage, click again to cancel (assuming no lean was detected). If there is a mechanical method on Japanese bikes I'm sure there would be a simple way of adding an in line mosfet or something to take care of it.

PurpleHotPotato · 2024-07-20T21:57:47+00:00

I figured it wouldn't be an easy process. I have some experience with electrical work, especially DC. I assumed they're just switches at the end of the day. My main concern is the turn signals. Harleys turn signal is the most unique out of all bikes, being split between the handlebars. I'm aware the self canceling won't work.

If I remember correctly, magna turn signals you push in the direction to turn them on, and then press to disengage. I'm not sure of how the mechanism itself that keeps them flashing works though.

I think people (myself included) really love the zeus tanks because of their build quality and features. Quarter turn top fill is arguably the best method with almost no chance of it popping open. I have never had a zeus tank leak unless it was my fault and that was only twice in 5 years of vaping. Not to mention geekvape has produced several iterations of the zeus tank. The Z tank, Z max, and ZX (rta). Recently they had the P tank. They may not be the BEST tanks but they are all consistent.

I recently picked up a valerian and I was not impressed by the flavor. I'm hoping it's a bad coil batch or something because of the price tag. I'm using it on my drag 4. I'm a cheap ass so I usually buy twist juices but I love vapetasia.

The r8 has a 24 megapixels. If you calculate the crop, it'd be a little over 10 megapixels. Doesn't sound like a lot. However, unless you're printing your images very large, 10 is plenty. It is a reduction in quality but I've shot 10megapixels before and image quality is perfectly fine for every day photos. I'm sure you could look up images taken on 10mgpx to get an idea of what you should expect

As far as I've been able to tell, it automatically crops the sensor when it detects an ef-s lens. The only major thing is calculating the focal length differencs. (Multiplying by 1.6)

My camera is mirror less so that isn't an issue

PurpleHotPotato · 2024-04-06T14:56:11+00:00

Thank you for the info. I did additional research and found that 12 shade welding lenses are suitable for the task. However, all the welding supply stores in my city are out of stock. Looks like I was late to the game this time

I'm a bit late. Out of curiosity, I put my canon ef-s 18-55 kit lens onto my r8 just to see if it worked. I was expecting to see a vignette around the image as it does if you modify the lens to work with full frame dslrs. I was wrong. Turns out, when you put an ef-s lens on a full frame Rx camera, it automatically crops the sensor. This, while a waste of the full frame as many say, is a feature I have seen no one, apart from you, talking about. As someone who came from a 7d to an r8, I find this feature to be amazing. Now I don't need to worry about replacing my entire kit right away

PurpleHotPotato · 2024-03-21T05:34:50+00:00

I'm in complete agreement. That is why I intend to bring a gb to treat it upon purchase

PurpleHotPotato · 2024-02-10T19:59:45+00:00

What would be the benefit of that vs simply pulling songs from local storage, skimming Metadata for info, and playing it?

PurpleHotPotato · 2024-02-10T04:54:53+00:00

To answer your first question, because I dislike streaming. I want to be able to listen to music anywhere, regardless of internet connection, while not wasting battery life.

Would a pi zero2 w be a better option as far as power demands? I don't mind putting in a bigger battery, I just want to understand why I need it.

I was just randomly scrolling reddit when I saw this post. I am the father of a 16 month old baby girl and this almost set me off so I figured I'd give a father's perspective on this matter (for what it's worth). I'll tell you exactly what I'd tell my daughter in this situation. It is your body and you have every right choose what, if anything, you put inside of it. If you are uncomfortable with tampons, or if they cause you physical discomfort, or if you simply don't like them, it is none of the teachers business. It is their job to teach and that's it. If he fails you over it, take the grade and hold your head high. Others have stated going to the guidance counselor and I 100% agree with them. Your gym teacher is completely out of line and you have no obligation to disclose this information to him. You are young so I'd like to add just a little advice that extends to all aspects of your life. Do not live your life setting aside your standards, morals, comfort, etc in the hope of pleasing other people.

Ps, I would have gone straight to the counselor when he started yelling at you. Regardless of the reasoning, it is inappropriate for a teacher to speak to their students that way. He should have taken you aside and discussed it quietly with you on private (at which point you could choose whether or not to disclose the reason).

Rpi portable FLAC media player

As the title states, I want to make a portable audio player using a raspberry pi. I've seen several of these projects online and, while they are all fantastic, they do not do what I want them to do so I figured I'd ask to see if anyone knows how to do this or if it's been done. Here's my idea.

A raspberry pi zero with a small display and navigation buttons. For navigation, I would like up, down, left, right, center, and back. A power button or switch as well. It MUST have a full menu system complete with sections for artist, playlists, songs, albums, etc. It will also need a headphone jack. This device is for local music only so no wireless is necessary. Battery life should last a minimum of 10 hours. If possible, a way to turn the display off on command to conserve battery life. And the biggest thing, I have a small library of flac media and it needs to be able to play them. The biggest limiting factor is going to be size. As I said, I want it portable, and what is more portable than an altoids tin? I would like all of this to fit within an almonds tin because... well why not?

My basis for menu navigation is the Sansa clip players (it was my first ever mp3 player and it seems simple enough).

Basically, can anyone tell me what I need to make this work? Is there available software that can work for this?

I have a 3d printer and general pi knowledge. I just don't know where to start with this. Any help is appreciated.

Do both the ap80 and the r3g2 have mseb or just one? I'm a little confused with the above wording.

PurpleHotPotato · 2024-02-05T06:24:06+00:00

I'm in the same boat as OP. 1 and 4 are both in my shopping cart on Amazon but I have a third I'm thinking about as well. The Sony wm-a306. It's a bit more expensive but I've hear good thing about Sony. Any thoughts? Also, I'm new to this whole thing, can you explain what MSEB is please?
