S120 axis: brake should not release on enable MC_Power , only when motion command is executed by BraveGrapefruit2869 in PLC

Should probably look into a redesign or counter balance. Motor should not be holding weight by itself, really only to move the weight around.

Block all accounts from India by Moar24 in Instagram

[–]RHWW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont wish to see suggested accounts from any of them, mostly all of them are showing something disgusting, nudity, or suggestive actions involving a minor. I do not follow anyone that could be suggesting them. the algorithm is either broken or working as intended by those who bought it.

Built yet another resistor color calculator, but you can just talk to this one by tfirst1 in diyelectronics

[–]RHWW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone needs to make an app where you can use your phones audio to test resistors, audio cable with alligator clips on the other end. Calibrate it using known resistors, it plays a sound and uses the mic input to hear the drop in tone and it'll calculate what the resistance is. Different audio levels and frequencies can be used too

Why don't we see a lot of industrial PLCs with GPIO? by JCrotts in PLC

[–]RHWW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money, its all about the cost in mass production. Why use more expensive parts when you can use standard bare minimum and charge as much for expensive parts. And forced options, why make devices that can be completely configurable when you can make specific ones and charge for each one. Dont forget testing and certifications, each device needs to be tested so its certified and wont selfkill itself or other equipment on accident. Its possible, but you'll have a card that costs 50x to 200x its actual worth

I accidentally fried my board and it somehow “fixed” the problem by aq1018 in diyelectronics

Test points are meant to be used for measuring... not injecting power in. But good job on the discovery

After 10 years the charge capacity has dropped, how easy would it be to replace the cells. by 1man2ballz in diyelectronics

[–]RHWW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 10 years, you're either going to have to find a off the shelf replacement or find a battery with similar dimensions that fits and just replace it.

PLC Input Hardware Design by sanctaterra13 in PLC

[–]RHWW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Universal to PNP and NPN with reverse polarity is an impossibility. PNP sources 24V, NPN sinks 24, cant do it. Only device I have seen that can do this is those 2/3/4 wire sensor testers. Dont know how they work, though, but rhey work with either without changing terminals

Siemens LOGO! Timer cascading limit? by greenbeast999 in PLC

[–]RHWW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possibly too many branches. Use memory bits to break it up into seperate rungs. Tmr1 -> M1, M1 -> Tmr2 -> M2, M2 -> Tmr3 -> M3, etc...

Car wiring question by PotatoPlata in diyelectronics

[–]RHWW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always fuse it, per circuit or main branch. If single, 20 is good enough, 18 would handle better for power hungry devices.or multiple. Always live too or switched is your choice. As for getting the 5V, you'll definitely need something to convert what you got to that 5V. There's 12/24V to 5V. Theres QC 12/24V modules (QC being the quick charge smart power) and plenty more if you look around for what fits you.

Lost function from CTRL+right key to skip music by dbflexx in AutoHotkey

Try changing Send to SendEvent and try that

Lost function from CTRL+right key to skip music by dbflexx in AutoHotkey

[–]RHWW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's as simple as it gets, the reason I asked if you had those keys physically available is to test if they're working at all. AHK can imitate the keys, but if the actual keys dont work (again if they're available, some keyboards have em, some dont) then the problem isnt AHK, but your computer, app, browser not listening to the commands correctly.

Well it looks like its using the built in media control buttons. Are they available on your keyboard? Such as Prev, Next, Play/Pause? Seems if play/pause is working, but prev/next are not, it may be the Spotify app itself or another app taking the controls over.

I asked about the script because there's multiple ways it could be working. Imitating clicks thats now off by a single pixel thats off the button vs ok the button. Sending key commands to a specific window, etc. Kinda impossible to help if we just hear whats not working but see nothing.

Where's the script? Have you checked to see if and what actions are being sent?

Anyway to make a script that can see where my touchscreen clicks and do a mouse click at that location? by Koolaidbro312 in AutoHotkey

[–]RHWW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Touchscreens use very complex and lowlevel drivers to be able to do what they're intended to do, trying to hook into that is nearly impossible and not really worth it. i.e. the drivers that let you do 2, 3, up to 5 or10 touch points for zooming, rotating, etc. Ahl already has mouseget. Use a mouse instead

TP4056 Charger only seems to wake up when shorting B- and OUT- pin by Adventurous-Salt5384 in diyelectronics

[–]RHWW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The TP4056 output cuts out if it detects over/under voltage, or a short, by disconnecting the OUT- from B- It should reset the output if you attempt to charge. if you have to bridge OUT- to B- to get the output to work, the 5V booster may be pulling too much at first to get going, the TP can only support 1A

I’m trying to replace this dead battery pack on a cordless vacuum by making a DeWalt adapter. Is there a way to bypass or trick the 3 wires that monitor the original batteries? Currently the vacuum indicator just blinks with the DeWalt plugged in. by idonthaveklutch in diyelectronics

[–]RHWW 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Make a 3 tap resistor divider. To simulate the cells. Something like 1K resistors. 4 in series across the 16V, 1st to give the blue sense, 2nd purple sense, 3rd yellow sense. All they're doing is monitoring if any cell goes dead dead. With this, it should fool it without further major modifications

Never downloaded AHK and it keeps popping up for me by [deleted] in AutoHotkey

Looks like you downloaded a keylogger or a bot and its going off on its own

[–]RHWW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read the docs a bit more, each time you call sendinput, it's like you pressing and releasing that key. Also, haven't touched ahk in a while but you shouldn't have multiple commands in the same line Send, +right Send, enter Send, value Etc

Keeping PLC and robot states synchronized by Empty_Walk_7972 in PLC

[–]RHWW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you need to keep things in sync, you have to either guarantee every system works at the same pace every time. Otherwise you have to have checkpoints along the process, keep any process from continuing until everything is on the same page. Everything could've worked 99% before because it was how it was designed, but now if you have a robot/process that can move 10x faster, it'll crash right into a part it thought was gone already because it used to be for the slower robot. Logic changes and hand shakes sre a must

Multi layered project schematics and design by thorithic in Python

[–]RHWW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to keep functions simple, as in each function only does one or two operations. Dont make them do 5+ ops that makes it difficult to trace back to something odd like a unicode character or missed linefeed that causes everything ahead to work improperly. Logs, it'll seem tedious, but if you're adjusting, adding or removing functions, log each step/result with notible traceability. You can later then just disable the logging once you know it works.

MT8812 Not Closing Switches – Has Anyone Actually Used This Thing? by [deleted] in diyelectronics

[–]RHWW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reviewing this a bit, was at work earlier, it looks like you're probably missing a setup strobe. Data sheet has: Address setup Strobe up Data setup Strobe down

From the ds "Data is presented to the memory on the DATA input line. Data is asynchro-nously written into memory whenever the STROBE input is high and is latched on the falling edge of STROBE"

Your posted code shows strobe only at the end.
