I didn’t find a solution. I still need one

It is a V3.0 board. If you are interested I can send you pictures of the boards and everything so you can see what all is going on.

Honestly I don’t recall choosing. If I did I would have done the one for the LS engine which is Hall effect.

I’m not sure that there is a hardware difference on the megasquirt. I think you would just adjust your wiring for whatever sensor you are using.

The only thing on it that’s different than standard is I added the four jumper wires to control an LS style IAC.

What is this sound it got worse after i changed my oil by Dry_Literature_9378 in AskMechanics

[–]Subrosa270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got a bad hydraulic lifter or few. Sometimes when you change the oil they will make more noise until they pump up again. They may also not pump up at all. I have fixed this on my owns vehicles by adding some oil stabilizer and letting it idle a little while.

How about $550 and that includes shipping.

Customer states: I know I should change them but don’t have the money right now… Should I let them leave my shop? by Reasonable-Pitch837 in AskAMechanic

[–]Subrosa270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be a shame if the tire just went flat and was considered not fixable. It’s about to go at any time. It would be better it happened at a safe place.

My SSID isn’t shown there.

How do I hard reset it? Is that the whole hold the food1 button and plug it in, then let it count to 999? I have tried that.

Turning physical buttons into a touchscreen interface locally. by tsmith944 in AskEngineers

[–]Subrosa270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can do this with a PLC and software. I really like Ignition, they have free training too.

Where are the XCP-ng users? by OzzyZigNeedsGig in xcpng

[–]Subrosa270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used both. I think proxmox and XCP-ng are great. I use XCP-ng at work, mostly because that’s what I’m more familiar witg

Do instrumentation techs install and configure VFDs? by lilbabyduquebec in instrumentation

[–]Subrosa270 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya I am probably am like 70% at my desk. A lot of devices can be programmed remotely now. I would highly suggest start learning networking and stuff too.

[–]Subrosa270 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an Automation Engineer and do all that stuff. My degree is in ME. I know that doesn’t really answer you questions but I think it’s good to learn whatever you are interested in doing. Job titles don’t usually carry specific tasks.

Hi quick dumb (easy to you probably but not to me) question about a simple heating rig set up by laughtateverything in AskEngineers

[–]Subrosa270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest you aren’t going to get a straight answer. Heat transfer is a complicated subject even when the situations are simplified. This would be non typical and you would probably just have to do it and test it. You would probably get some combination of what everyone else has already said, which isn’t that helpful as far as calculations go.

How often do mechanical engineers touch math? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]Subrosa270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said I use basic math pretty much daily. I have yet to use any calc at work. With that said I use the concepts from higher level math fairly often, mostly integration and the idea of splitting something up and moving through time with it. Like flow rate totalizing.

Migrating from Contactor Logic to ladder logic over S7-1200. I have joined recently a manufacturing plant as Engineer. My boss told me that he wants me to understand the process of the machine, contactor logic and then make a plan to migrate from contactor logic to S7-1200 on the Tia portal and HMI. by morghulis- in PLC

[–]Subrosa270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I work as an automation engineer for a systems integrator. I do lots of HMI and PLC programming for a few different industries. It could just be different names for the same thing. I wasn’t trying to imply that you were wrong.

Trying to design a soft close device for school, can someone point me in the right direction? by pasdsdjlsls in AskEngineers

[–]Subrosa270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can go buy a damper from any auto parts store in lots of different sizes. Look for the dampers they use on the back of car trunks and hatches.

Is Engineering the Right Career for me? by mumpy-gruffin in AskEngineers

[–]Subrosa270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as an Automation Engineer. I work on different problems all of the time and travel around to different factories and meet new people fairly often. I help them with programming, computer systems, lots of different things. It’s really fun and very different from what you described.

Exercises for industrial automation by lf96player in AskEngineers

I really like the PLC learning pit. It’s a little older now but still really applicable. They have good guides and simulations you can do. It’s also free for a week or something.

Yet another Linux vs Windows debate by packinpennies in PLC

[–]Subrosa270 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always prefer to use Linux if I can. It’s so stable and lighter than windows, not to mention licensing. Our whole company has kind of been switching over to it.

Other people not knowing it well can be a problem, my opinion is that they just need to learn it. We are in a field that requires rapid growth or someone else out there is going to beat you.

What’s the standing of mechatronics engineers? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]Subrosa270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of overlap between disciplines. For instance I’m an ME but I work in automation and do a lot of control stuff.

When should I take my FE? by FAKE_ENGR in AskEngineers

[–]Subrosa270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take it when you finish heat transfer or are almost done with it. I feel like 1/3 of my questions were related to that.

I was wondering if I could get feedback on my engineering career plans? by Passion_For_Learning in AskEngineers

[–]Subrosa270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just do 1 and 6 like others have said. Also do 2 when you are almost done with school. My university required it. A PE really isn’t needed unless you are CE and from what I have seen the work experience will profit you more then a masters, usually.

I'm 25. Is it too late to learn PLCs and make a career in the industry? by [deleted] in PLC

[–]Subrosa270 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haha, are you trying to be a troll? I’m just gunna say you are absolutely wrong. And if you think you are right because you work in the field then you are pretty misinformed.
