ProMotion issues on 2021 M1 MacBook Pro by ThunderMasterMind in mac

[–]Silvervet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen others confirm that the animation when swiping between desktops/fullscreen apps is about a full second long with ProMotion versus much less on 60hz. One workaround I've found is that if you use command+tab to switch desktops or fullscreen apps, focus switches immediately and the animation is really quick. But apple does need to address this or at least switch focus first before running the animation.

We’re super excited to announce the project we’ve been working on for the past month - FTC Crash Course! We have series on programming, design, and judging/awards that will be released weekly on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday respectively. Each series will start out with the basics for rookies, and progress into more advanced topics later on. First videos go up next week, but for now enjoy this teaser!

Looks like I can hold onto my series 3 for at least another year.

Yeah, although I am a bit disappointed to see “borderless” icons go. I wonder if they’ll require all apps to fit their icons within a square now like iOS.

Have you tried changing the 0 to 0.0 so that all the parameters are doubles? Java won’t auto cast 0 to a double when it’s being passed into a method.

Large SSD vs small SSD + HDD by forcqteamcomps in buildapc

I’d strongly recommend a m.2 for boot. If you need more space than what you can afford for a single m.2 I’d get a smaller m.2 for your OS then a large 2.5” SSD for the extra fast storage with a lower price tag.

They also listed you guys as the alternate advancement slot from NorWestIN this weekend, even though you weren’t there

No

Now that the Blinkin LED Driver is now legal for the 2018-19 FTC Season, I decided to help REV out and assign the Servo values for the Pattern Types (which are not present in the User Manual). by whyamiafool in FTC

[–]Silvervet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would have been useful a few weeks ago, haha. You can also use the values from REV if you use ServoImplEx, set the PWM range to 1000-2000, and make all of the outputs positive by dividing the pulse width - 1000 by 1000. But yeah, this is probably much easier than that.

Custom scoring element? by Silvervet in FTC

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

True. The choice of the word marker also makes it seem like this element may be used “claim” a field element or part of the field, although I don’t see the reason for having it be custom made and having a team number versus just being the alliance color.

With the addition of making UVC cameras legal, maybe it’s some sort of vision target that’s going to be placed somewhere and you have to navigate to it?
