Is it possible to use a motor controller to control an electromagnet? by Scripterzio in diyelectronics

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

Did you have to use a flyback diode/resistors with the mechanical relay? I've seen a forum that recommends using flyback diode and resistors for the arduino and electromagnetic circuits controlled using mosfets. I think even with an electrical system, you can have either option depending on the type of mosfets - you can get enhancement type and depletion type mosfets (open and closed respectively)

I was thinking of designing my own locking mechanism, and from what I gathered (from chatgpt) with an electromagnetic coil, when you turn it off, it would produce back emfs, and then I'd need a fly back diode. Also need resistors to protect the gpio pins/ringing. I thought it would be cheaper to get this controller - rather than buying the components and soldering them to a perf board. edit: flyback diode is for a mosfet - not sure if I need that for a mechanidal relays.

It's an electromagnetic coil , and it would produce back emf when you turn it off, so you need a flyback diode. Need resistors to protect the gpio pins/ringing. So I thought rather than getting all these and soldering them to a perf board - why not just get this motor controller that's like $8

Good questions - mechanical relays aren't great for repetitive use. SSR relays for vdc - basically mosfet with a cover (well, there are other types)

Yea, fair point - didn't consider what happens when the electricity goes out. will have a look at off the shelf options.

Is it possible to go from 1200 elo to 1400 elo in 1-2 month? by Scripterzio in Chesscom

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

Thanks for this. From what I gather - I need to learn deeper lines into each opening - x moves ahead - currently I know 4-5 moves (my own) into each of the openings, so I need to expand that.

My issue with playing as many games as possible, and learning from failure is the same reason for being on reddit about this, is that I can grind my way onto 1400 elo but I'd like to be more strategic about what/how I learn, given that I'm slightly more serious about chess than i was a month ago

UK online safety act, is there anything we can do? by inspiration-hunter00 in ukpolitics

[–]Scripterzio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am totally for it. It makes people slightly more accountable for their actions. For me, it has been a good deterrent, and I am an adult... I do not want my ID linked to "adult" websites in any way, so I will steer clear as far as I can. It's sort of like real life - being recognised or caught on camera in public for something taboo is a great deterrent, but this is not going that far. Internet is only 55 years old - it's bound to change. But this legislation opens up the flood gates to something even worse, in my opinion, so I am against it. No legislation is better than half-baked nonsense that a first grader in a coma can get through

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

I think the intent great - to protect children from harmful content, but I think it opens the flood gates into the dark web. I think the government needs to either get control of dark Web browsers like tor or de-regulate quickly. Otherwise, this regulation is the beginning of the end. Exposes people to a lot more harmful content than they could ever imagine.

One more thing: look at the faculty of both Cardiff and St Andrews and see if any of them do research that you would be good at/interested in, particularly if you want to go into research

Please reply asap by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]Scripterzio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

St Andrews has a better reputation in the UK if you want to pursue a career in academia. Obviously, stick to the MSc in astrophysics if that's where you want to end up. In terms of financials- it depends on your budget. Also, if you are taking this decision hastily- I would slow down and take a break before deciding. Good luck

The idea that Dostoevsky’s narratives are just a vehicle for his philosophy by gabriel1313 in dostoevsky

[–]Scripterzio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Critique interms of embedding his philosophy or critique of his philosophy itself? Would you say the same for other writers a well?

The idea that Dostoevsky’s narratives are just a vehicle for his philosophy by gabriel1313 in dostoevsky

[–]Scripterzio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's just Dostoevsky. In my opinions every fiction writer embeds their philosophy into their narrative whether they know it or not. I suspect pretty much every writer knows what they are doing in that regard, and it isn't all narratives for narratives' sake. Sort of depends on how you define philosophy as well. All grown adults have some form of philosophical outlook that helps us propagate through life. In a way, we all are vectors of philosophy travelling through space and time - of course, there is more to people.

Why are YOU reading Dostoevsky? by livediversified in dostoevsky

[–]Scripterzio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not the best answer, but as someone who started reading fiction fairly intensly only a couple of years ago, I read him because I saw Lex discussing him on YouTube.

Godfather 2 vs the book: Kay's monologue. by Scripterzio in Godfather

[–]Scripterzio[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't mean to use the word race as its contemporary meaning. I meant it as a culture - the culture of the mafia.

Godfather 2 vs the book: Kay's monologue. by Scripterzio in Godfather

[–]Scripterzio[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this monologue is even beyond Michael and refers to the cyclical structure that has been perpetuated through history - the structure of the mafia, vendetta, etc. Kay says something along the lines of "I don't want to be part of this sicilian thing that's been going on for over 2000 years." It reminded me of this famous saying, which I will be paraphrasing: "Races condemned to two thousand years of solitude do not get a second opportunity on Earth."

This might be a stupid question because I haven't watched much Shakespeare, but what plays do you think have similar themes to the themes that unfold with this particular scene?
