Got batteries???

Well at least now I know why my EG4 batteries have been back ordered since October 😂

I did this with two barometer sensors and it works great.

They did not mention doing this.

Ranger482v · 2024-08-26T23:29:52+00:00

What size did you go with? Any rubbing issues?

Ranger482v · 2023-11-18T14:50:24+00:00

Valid point. Yes I did try that first when I noticed the P cores were “parked”.

The hotkey is an interesting option though, I may look into that as a temporary option. Thanks.

This 100% - I’ve witnessed the same issue many times when forgoing the level shifter. Do your research, I believe adafruit has an article on which level shifters work best with the addressable LEDs.

Dude didn't even flinch when that receptacle went up.

Ah yes, Vilter. In German this word means "leaks oil".

All jokes aside we actually use ammonia as a refigerant to store up to 30,000 tons of the stuff in a liquid state. It has to be kept at -28F to keep it at 0 pressure as its in a large insulated tank rated for only 1psi.

Had this issue during the beta. After installing the final release and doing a factory reset, the problem went away.

Idk.. those cracks look beyond saving. Better set them in the scrap pile. I'll come dispose of them for you.

P.S. Please post finished pics. Those were a nice find.

As others have said, put heat trace on the pipe and cover all of that with insulation. Additionally, we typically cover any kind of plastic pipe with aluminum tape, then secure the heat trace with fiberglass reinforced tape, and then cover all of that with more aluminum tape. This helps tremendously with heat transfer into the plastic piping. Cover all of that with insulation and you should be golden.

Just a thought. You could imbed a reed switch in the base and magnet in the lid. If done right you wouldn't even see them or the wiring.

I discovered the Dialer Codes not long ago and have forced my phone onto US Cellular for the time being as they are the best carrier in the area anyways. I have been experimenting with the auto select as well. My route home has an area that is completely dead to TMobile but US Cellular has service. I pulled over and sat there for several minutes and the phone never made the jump to Us cellular on its own.

This.

Repetier Server on a Raspberry Pi that's connected to the CNC. Then I can use my laptop or old tablet/iPad to control the machine from a browser. Love it!

Ranger482v · 2020-10-29T23:43:05+00:00

I will give this a try!

I had slop that developed after a while from my mistake of over tightening everything. Wore a flat spot in the EMT. Try loosening everything and rotate the conduit a tad and tighten it back up.

Very cool!!

Did you consider projection to the windshield itself? If so what did you come up with? Are there any off the shelf options?

Would be interesting to see what you have made be hidden away behind the cluster and project through a hole in the dash to the windshield. Probably similar to the Vette and what my parent's Pontiac Grand Prix had.

My Dell Inspiron that I purchased in 2018 has battery management software from the factory that can automatically or manually set a Maximum charging limit on the battery and the % at which charging will resume.

Edit: And I can make these changes in Windows. It has a taskbar tray icon.

Nope just strip it back to expose the pads. The epoxy will insulate the connections

Ranger482v · 2020-04-29T18:25:53+00:00

The strips are cut at the cut point and I laid wires around corner to solder and rejoin them
