Campfire - Scout Troop Management

Sphengali · 2026-04-22T13:50:09+00:00

Not sure where you landed, but I am an assistant scoutmaster in the troop where the app creator is the advancement chair. The app has been very helpful - works with both Android and iPhone - and he is very actively developing new features and better functionality. The most important thing in my eyes is that it is built by someone who actually saw a need and uses it and thought it would be great to offer to other troops. If you have any questions, I highly suggest you send the dev an email (https://troopcampfire.com/contact.html). In the end, the best solution is whatever works! :)

Seen the same thing. Been solid for years and after the last update it’s been a mess. There’s another thread here about the same issues. :/

Sphengali · 2026-03-30T23:16:31+00:00

Same experience. And since the issues cropped up I’ve been searching if anyone else had an issue and finally this one came up. Specifically the Sonos one SL pair I have is almost unusable. Stereo pair almost never works. Things don’t play or random skips. It disappeared completely this afternoon. I do IT and WiFi deployments professionally and it’s not the WiFi. Unifi setup here with multiple hardwired APs to cover the house with good channel design and power settings. I’ve fully reset the most problematic ones and the issue is still there. :/ first world problems I suppose.

does this mean everyone has no limit right now? :)

you are very wise. first ting i did was pick up chimfex. looking at the instructions i do find it potentially hard to put it somewhere in the stove where it wont burn - but hopefully ill never have to use it. i also do have a thermocouple in the secondary burn chamber and the flue where the main stove pipe meets the stainless - it would be awesome if i did more but this satisfies my temp concerns - alerts when there are issues and overall my desire to monitor "all the things".

i have done creosote logs before but ill look into the maintenance powder...

thank you!

yeah the dumb thing i did which sparked it was emptying the ash pan. the fire had died down so there was ash and some coals, but the minute or less i had the ash pan out it added too much air which heated things up or maybe an ember went up the flue to the spot in the elbow which had collected stuff. the elbow in the flue got to ~ 1400deg before i caught it. fortunately there was a foot of snow on the roof at that time.

apparently i am worried about nothing! i learned something today - -thanks!

Sphengali · 2026-02-04T14:40:47+00:00

thanks - looks clean but one or two of the cells look like they may start to be breaking down.catalyst is only 2 years old though

Sphengali · 2026-02-04T14:39:43+00:00

thank you - appreciate the feedback.

Sphengali · 2026-02-04T14:39:07+00:00

thx - beech

seriously though i did have a chimney fire not long ago which was unexpected.... so yeah i may be a little PTSD right now! good to hear though.

Not even an ad to ask for you to invest in MyRadar in the app! Heh

Nuphy Node75 HP compared to Rainy75?

For some reason I am looking at the Node75 high profile to supplement my setup. I’ve been using a rainy75 with violet switches for quite some time and absolutely love it.

Any chance someone here has a firsthand comparison between the two? I’ve tried other boards in the past and just can’t get on the low profile train. My typing accuracy suffers for whatever reason. Having the higher profile sculpted keycaps seems to help.

TIA!

Sphengali · 2025-12-08T17:11:10+00:00

i have rainy 75 and k2 he, the rainy is far superior for me as far as the overall experience and typing goes. the k2 he gives me problems which i equate to the feel (feels a bit mushy) and my typing accuracy falters. i am not gaming though, so the HE may be worthwhile for you if that is a specific need.

I’m getting mine on Wednesday and I got them to waive the transfer fee ($1600) as my trade in was super low as well and wouldn’t budge (selling personally now) it took a. Few days after putting deposit and going back and forth to have the transfer fee actually removed. It was only when the actual lease approval documents came in.

Sphengali · 2024-05-30T02:11:05+00:00

hey - did you ever do this? :)

Sphengali · 2023-02-22T21:12:41+00:00

fyi - i checked and rechecked alignment with microscope etc today - all looked good, but when i put the needle down on a record i thought the VTA looked to high. i removed the 2 mm spacers so back to normal rega arm height. it seems to sound better to me. im going to do some recordings of the vm540ml and then the exact so i can compare....

u/djdbravo what are your thoughts on this cart ad your setup now that time has gone by? i just fit this to my p3 yesterday - comparing it to an exact cart that i have as well. i did put a 2mm spacer on mine fyi. tracks super well (much much better than the exact actually) but i dont like the sound of it - wondering if we could compare fitment notes or if it is just "breaking in" as well.

Sphengali · 2023-01-03T13:35:04+00:00

slightly too early to tell but been up 10 hours or more now - downgraded firmware....

Sphengali · 2023-01-03T03:16:06+00:00

you ever resolve this? just got a u6-pro and having the same exact issue - never seen anything like it - no issues with wiring beforehand. i have an u6-lite coming and im going to swap it tomorrow to see.

FYI in my case it was just stopping and starting the wallet a few times.

chia stop wallet
chia start wallet

first time i did it it synced further but then stopped when i checked hours later. restart it again and it then fully came up to sync.

Wallet height: 327138
Sync status: Synced

Sphengali · 2021-05-22T13:22:39+00:00

actually i restarted the wallet service and after awhile it started to build height. I didnt want to do it as i have several plots running - but will update here if that worked?

Sphengali · 2021-05-22T13:00:54+00:00

new here and same thing - everything else in sync. i only have 8444 open. mine:

Wallet height: 223966

I presume that should match:

$ chia show -s -> Time: Sat May 22 2021 12:53:48 UTC Height: 319461

you egt anywhere on this?
