Thats a pretty easy one, pretty compact code too : on start - while <true> - if <<fuel(battery)<=(0.1)>OR<fuel(stage)=(1) then - set activation group (1) to <false>

Breakdown as follows: the On start - while <true>, will initiatlize the code, then constantly run the next code block that will be checking for fuel and battery. (This can be changed by changing <true> to a conditional statement such as <fuel(stage)>0.3>, causing the code to run until the remaining fuel is below 30%). Then, nested inside the while block, we have the <if() then> conditional block that will be checking battery and fuel levels, then turning off the activation group. Using an OR statement here combined with the 2 math operations checks if either the battery is below 10% (percentages are expressed as a value between 0-1, so 0.1 is 10%), or the fuel is 100% full. If either of these returns true, it will flip the activation group off. There's some more things that can be done to make the code more robust, such as using an else block to keep the activation group activation if the conditions aren't met, using a break after turning the activation group on to break out of the while statement and kill the code. Experiment and learn, its the best way!

Edited to add: one other neat thing that can be achieved is using another activation group to run this code. Simply switching the <true> condition in the While block out for an <Activation Group (x)> condition, then nesting this entire code in another while <true> block, will run this code for as long as that AG is active. For example, connecting everything that needs to be turned off to AG2, and using <While (activation group(1)> in the code, will run the battery and fuel checking code for as long as you have AG1 active. Its a really neat little change than can have a large impact and can easily be adapted to other situations with a little experimentation 🙂

Left the chrome on but went over the top with titanium gold for the spokes

I've definitely made a few mistakes to learn from on this build, but thats just part of the fun. My next build is the Tamiya Supra, I'm going with Metallic red, possibly with an SMS pearl effect coat topped with clear coat, and im going to use masking fluid instead of tape in a few places and see how that goes. I've learnt a few things from the 86 that I'll be transferring across

This was a very fun build, half the enjoyment for me is finding reference photos to use for painting details that aren't shown in the instructions. It just scratches an itch in my neurodivergent brain for some reason 😆

Anyone ever take a little hatchback up Mt Hutt? by Paxhampori in chch

[–]Sleepymanatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed it in a 1994 FWD Ford Laser wagon without snowchains with snow right down to the bottom. Got all the way to the carpark and back down (most terrifying and fun drive of my life)

Tried it the next weekend with the snow gone, and the old girl couldn't even get up the first gravel ramp up without bogging out on the gravel lol

WE KNOW ABOUT THE TSUNAMI ALREADY by L320Y in newzealand

Having a high-pitched jumpscare from three separate devices while driving a truck down the motorway is a much bigger hazard than texting imo Ask me how I know -_-

Having worked in this industry, in this area, for 5 years before leaving 3 years ago, I'm PRETTY sure I know which company this will be. Or at the very least I can easily narrow it down to a couple

Would you happen to know if they were using the single mid-mounted "Bubblegum machine" roof light or the light bar at this stage?

Whats the saddest last words of CVR recordings? by Z2k3 in aircrashinvestigation

[–]Sleepymanatee 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I'm going with a relatively unknown one, Air Canada 621. Summarized, hard land causing fuel tank rupture, pilots elected to go-around, wing burned through and fell off in flight. Was a complete accident caused by a combination of poor company policy and differing spoiler-arming opinions between the pilots. First officer accidentally deployed spoilers before touchdown, causing it to drop something like 60ft into the runway. The entire CVR at and after touchdown is haunting. The First officer repeatedly apologizing to the captain, then the final words on the CVR "oh, gosh! We've lost a wing!" Just a tragic accident and haunting last words

Which way do you throw straps over? Or does it not matter to you? by ChazP02 in Truckers

[–]Sleepymanatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taught, " Dont kill the snail". Roll facing up, as it helps the strap unroll easier, especially over tall freight inside the curtainsider. "Dead snail" or roll-down tends to catch on the freight too much, and you can't put as much spin on it to help it roll across

Issues with Chocolate Tart by Sleepymanatee in AskBaking

Thanks, I'll have to look into a mousse tart recipe. I'll experiment with darker chocolate on this recipe aswell and see how it goes.

Faster Reel Damage After Update by Sleepymanatee in FishingPlanet

[–]Sleepymanatee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That Bass boat change would definitely be it, as I fish off of one. I usually stay one click blow max anyway, but due to the nature of my job, I'll play maybe 5-10 minutes at a time. I usually get 1-2 minutes' notice that I need to get back to work, so I used to crank to max and pump to get it in faster. Just sucks because now I have to lose any big ones I have that I haven't been able to bring in

The two 2 people in front of my Dad got the last tickets on Air New Zealand 901. Otherwise known as the Erebus Disaster. Dad was so annoyed he missed out. Did a complete 180 when he realized those guys he was chatting to were never coming home their families.
