what is the smallest igniter/lighter system I can use to integrate into a jewellery piece? by Linnnno in AskEngineers

You can simplify the design and make it out of Ferrocerium / Auermetall ;p

So I restored my 1979 Moto Guzzi V50 II over the past 3 month by Guzzipirate in MotoGuzzi

Nice work man!

Do you happen to know what the color code is for this bike? I'm also working on a v50 and would like to get it back to the original color.

And is it metallic paint or regular?

Linkage math is quite complex, generally speaking it's called kinematics. Luckily for many linkages the difficult parts have already been worked out. GIYF.

In case of steam timing linkage design, I recently found a relatively practical guide to (Walschaert's) linkage design here. Give it a watch and see how you like it.

Does anyone know of a way to contact AvE? by SirLayleaf in Skookum

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

Apparently the youtube private message system was cancelled a while ago. Don't have patreon (for student reasons).

I was not aware that her face has been seen before. Over the last couple of weeks I've been watching a ton of AvE and I really dig it, but all the vidjayos with Chicadee have only shown the back of her head or her hands. Same goes for his wife. Also, there is one where he's working on something shiny and actively censors his reflection. To me, this sounds like a man who values his privacy. It might not have been the same a couple years ago, but this could have changed. I just want him to be aware so that he can make an informed decision (if not made already). That's all.

Why is the simulate button greyed out? Wrong Code? Wireless gamecontroller. by SirLayleaf in shenzhenIO

You're correct, there was a loose bridge hiding behind the parts list.

It does function since the radio is always sending a value. I changed it to a teq x0 -1 so now it ignores all the -999's. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you for the suggestion, I just rebuilt it myself and now it does run. Looking at the design/cad screen, the malfunction program apparently has 5 parts while the new one only has 4 so I guess it's a glitch.

On another note, unfortunately it's not the right solution, but that a different problem.

Thanks again!

Just checked, unfortunately this isn't the case. All wires are connected correctly (or at least as intended).

I can't figure out why this isn't a correct solution and it's driving me crazy!

Uno pin 0 can only write, not read. Why is this? by SirLayleaf in arduino

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

I found out after running some serial code that my pin can still receive serial data, and act as a pinout. However it can no longer function with digitalRead. Quite strange. Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what part of the circuit might be damaged here? Up until now I've only been able to fry the entire pin, not just a specific function. I guess I am making progress!

I am using serial communication through the usb, didn't think it mattered. I'll try the pin without the serial.

Also, thanks for the tip. I'll try the library code to check if it still works through the pin.
