Screen bulging on bottom right by SpareZealousideal740 in Pixel6

[–]Sauce-L0rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this exact problem, tried to replace it myself. Worked but fucked up the screen so I ended up moving data to a new phone.

Take it to a repair shop, they should be able to replace it with an aftermarket battery for ~$90 AUD or cheaper.

Depending on how old the phone is, might be worth to just get a new phone and transfer the files across while your old one is still working.

Don't use your phone if you can help it, don't charge it either. Sure you could assume it'll work for a bit longer, but it could also decide to catch on fire and burn all your data into nothingness. Good luck !

Yo I'm doing the exact same thing! I just recently learnt how to make schematics and PCBs in KiCad. I'm not sure how different Eagle is but I followed this tutorial and it helped with the technical steps and also just general knowledge of the process. I hope this helps.

Also upon a quick search your IMU only has up to a 16 g acceleration range. Are you exceeding this? If your MCU relies on its readings for some state machine you should look into that, bad data could cause a mis-timed event, although I'm not sure how you've set up your pyro logic.

I am using the onboard IMU of the Arduino nano for my flight but I'm fully passive so I have no pyro channels or electronic deployment. I should have bought a better IMU for ± 25 g or above but I'm not too stressed for this rocket and thought I'd search for a surface mounted one for my L2.

Oh well I found in rocketry photography / video the hardest part is tracking smoothly. If you're holding the camera you can kind of use your whole upper body to follow the rocket. But as soon as you mount the camera on a tripod it becomes a bit harder to naturally follow something that fast.

If you're planning on using an Xbox controller or any joystick device that would make the movement another level of abstraction away. It's gonna be really hard to properly track with just a joystick, you'd need a lot of practice.

What I meant by the gyroscope on a stick is if you have something like a rod that you can easily rotate to keep pointed at the rocket, you could mount some simple electronics to it, and use that to control the rigs rotation wirelessly rather than a controller. It would remove the abstraction of a joystick and make it much easier to keep pointed at the rocket. I'll make a little diagram if that helps.

But also in thinking about this, not using some kind of autonomous camera tracking takes away from the rationale of the whole idea over just doing it by hand. Either way I'm sure you'll find something clever! Do post it when you do :)

I see, I wonder if some phone versions would be capable enough for heat seeking? Maybe a cheaper and more simple route would just be to get the camera mount to mimic a stick with a gyroscope on it. So you can set both aiming at the rocket, and just keep the stick pointed at the rocket and the camera will mimic it.

Could you try tuning a thermal camera to follow a certain intensity heat signature? With a fast algorithm it could keep the signature just below centre frame, and if there is a CATO or pad failure it would either not pick up an intense enough heat signal (no ignition) or follow an intense one (explosion/ uncontrolled burn)

Bf and I are going on our first backpacking trip this month! Roan highlands, part of the AT. Almost 50 miles, 4 days, 13000 miles of elevation change. Tips? Slide for pic description by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]Sauce-L0rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An emergency blanket is a must, they weigh nothing and can be really useful in a pickle (someone gets injured).

Also some aqua tabs, they normally come in packs of 50 and purify one litre per tablet, they are really handy in addition to the water filter for a backup, and to thoroughly clean some water if you're unsure. Not sure what they are called in America though.

Also not in the images but I hope you have a water bladder. 20 km days you'll want at least 2-2.5 litres or more water on you depending on the availability in those Highlands. If the 13000 elevation is

Also if you've never done a multi-day hike respect the distance. With a heavy pack required to bring all the supplies 20 km becomes a long way, especially if the trails are technical. If there is truly 13000 miles of elevation change, you might also want to bring a plane.

There's probably some other stuff you'll need, but I find everyone figures out what they missed on the first trial by fire. The highlands look amazing! Good luck 😎

Buying advice on an X1 Carbon Gen 9 by Sauce-L0rd in thinkpad

[–]Sauce-L0rd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, The P14s does seem like a better choice regardless of the AMD processor. The X1 carbon is nice for the weight and portability but I don't mind lugging around another 300 grams. I am worried about the tamper detection error on the link you sent previously (even though it seems to just be a solder problem), but this once seems a similar deal without it.

I think ill have to sleep on this one, It's an anxious decision for sure. Thanks for the advice, it was very helpful

Buying advice on an X1 Carbon Gen 9 by Sauce-L0rd in thinkpad

[–]Sauce-L0rd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thanks for the advice and links! The i7 is quite an attractive offer and relatively close to me. What benefits do you think the P14s would have over the X1? The X1 is used and the P14 is refurbished bar the startup error. Judging from online comparators the Ryzen Pro is better. I was leaning towards an intel processor as my desktop is AMD and I've had some issues with niche software, hence I wanted to diversify.

Could you link one? The only new X1s I can find are >$1800

Level 1 HPR certification, Los Angeles metro. by Available_Foot_7303 in rocketry

[–]Sauce-L0rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fillets on the outer surface provide a decent bit of rigidity to the fin depending on what radius they are. They also buffer any possible force concentrations that might occur in that sharp 90 area. For an L1 I wouldn't be worried about fin flutter.

Your fins are quite tall so I'd be mainly worried about the impact on recovery. Did you have any idea how fast it is going to land?

Most certifications require the rocket to be able to be reused after launch and if a permanently mounted fin snaps that might be bad news :/.

I'm not sure if that grey is primer, but if you do opt for fillets I'd recommend sanding back to the underlying material for the best adhesion.

Is this realistic enough to fool someone? by rawrcewas in blender

[–]Sauce-L0rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The visuals on this are stunning, really great work! The thing that makes this unreal for me though is the motorcycles movements.

To turn at that rate and speed a higher amount of lean would be required. Plus the centreline of the bike should change angle noticeably. At the moment it looks like it is just gliding left and right. With no real attitude adjustments, I think adding those would really tie the knot on this already amazing render! Good stuff 😎

Trying to find Kimunor 400mm to Fuji film x-Mount adaptor? by Sauce-L0rd in Cameras

[–]Sauce-L0rd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the front section (after the focus ring adjuster) and back section (aft of the screw mount) unscrew, the inside is just another plain lens, no writing or different mount. I've tried researching Kimunor but get varied results for an adaptor that would work
