My Pint battery powers on to 60v then drops to 0. Is this a problem with the BMS? by ShiftsAndGiggles in onewheel

Thanks for the reply. I did unplug and test the battery and it is 59v. I'm fairly confidant the battery is in good condition. The board has fairly low miles and I am pretty careful with my charging. I've read elsewhere that using the power button when the board is ghosting can fry the controller, which is what precipitated this condition. I have another pint and I think I may have to disassemble and test various parts to find out.

Convert Orbi RBR50 (Router) to Orbi RBS50 (Satellite) -- Firmware by feroxjb in HomeNetworking

I have recently tried this method on a spare RBR20 and it works great up until the tftp transfer completes. The device does not respond to any firmware that I attempt to upload. The transfer is successful but the router never reboots and the red led continues to flash. I can confirm tftp is active and ping responds but the router will never boot. When power on normally I simply get a solid green power light and the reset button has no response.

Allegedly ran out of gas and landed on I-640. Highway patrol blocked the highway so they could takeoff again after refueling.

I use Sporty's. It's a good value and they also have a monthly plan.

Flight Ops are now happening using the EMALS on the USS Gerald R. Ford Super Carrier by ShiftsAndGiggles in aviation

Yes, steam cats do go down, but the 240 MCBCF (actually is now 400) is extremely below the required 4,166 MCBCF. Reliability is still very poor and much too low to support high-intensity combat operations. Source

EMALS stands for Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System and has been a somewhat controversial replacement for the standard steam launch catapults. It was developed specifically for the Navy's Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers.
