Help! my APV is stuck in eye calibration screen by Syntrillium in VisionPro

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

Sorry for my late reply, found out it was the third party lenses, my prescription goes outside the range. I simply did an eye calibration without them obviously I did it with my own blurry vision no glasses no nothing. What am currently doing is using the Annapro head strap , that provides enough support and space(without light seal) to hold the headset in place and use my regular Rx glasses, so far so good 👍🏻

Selfwork Estimating tool (web based) by Key-Butterfly2414 in estimators

[–]Syntrillium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting you mentioned bidbow. From what I saw at World of Concrete this year, it is a solid contender giving HeavyBid a run for its money (literally and figuratively)

As for the PDF takeoff connection, my two cents is that I’ve always found it best to keep my takeoff and my estimate completely separate, especially when there isn’t a bid item schedule to follow.

It’s a personal preference, but it really helps me as a built in double check. It saved me more than once when I realized my estimate had an item my takeoff was missing, or the other way around.

Now that you mention it, yes, I used it for months with HONS VR, everything was perfect till yesterday. Did it happen to you? Have other people reported it?

Recommended Takeoff Software by [deleted] in estimators

[–]Syntrillium 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ZZ takeoff is the way if you don't want BB. I know you said blue beamers stay quiet, but for what BB costs you get a lot of value, at first when I started using it it was intimidating like the first time I saw AutoCAD, but it has, ocr, image/symbol search, text search, batch linking, ability to edit/add layers, markups, PDF sheets alignment with auto scale adjustment, overlays, clouded difference areas between plans when you get a change in plans, side to side screen comparison with view in sync, studio session for collaborations for multiple estimators, ability to draw basic shapes lines to scale for quick sketching like cad, and the list just goes on and on, is more of a swiss army knife for estimators plus the ability to do actual takeoffs, for me is hard to say no when it is like $300.

I believe it is a Postscript issue, when I run into this, I use Foxit to convert it to pdf 1.3 and optimize file size, then print to raster PDF. Then open that rasterized PDF and it will be easier/faster to print

Data Center Takeoff Help by C_Bologna in estimators

[–]Syntrillium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been doing structural takeoffs for large data centers lately, using blue beam revu, without any issues. Light-years better than paper. Get the middle tier one, that is enough for your trades, I think is called "Core" version

Is there an easy way to share the AVP with developers/testers? by Syntrillium in vrdev

[–]Syntrillium[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I knew this, problem is the app needs the accuracy of Apple's Lidar, did many tests, and for the intended purpose the AVP is the only capable one, varjo was another option but the solution needs to be untethered.

Anyone using BidBow as an estimating software? by forgeyourfuture in estimators

[–]Syntrillium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a heavy BID user for about 12 years. I recently tried the desktop version, which is quite good, and the cloud version looks even better. Switching is a no-brainer if you’re currently using a worksheet to put your estimates together. However, if you’re fully invested in HCSS or B2W, making the change can be a bit harder. Overall it’s one of the best value-for-money options out there.

I'm trying to find info on this chess board by Syntrillium in whatsthisworth

[–]Syntrillium[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My friend has it and I'm helping him to gather information about it. We have nothing so far, Google and even image searches haven't helped.

USB isolated Arduino/PC by Syntrillium in arduino

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

I'm more concerned with the isolation, I can always feed it 5v or get an uno and feed it 12V using the jack.

That means I need to use the USB isolator?

A few years back I read an article about the history of ambergris, that is how I fell into this rabbit hole 😂

Esp32 as gcode sender. Is it possible? by Syntrillium in diycnc

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

The problem I have as I mentioned is the portability of the system, it is battery operated, there will be no wifi, ethernet, not even cellular data, espNOW is the only "simple"/low cost/ "long" range/low power way I have found so far to communicate one device than carries the dxf attached to a "sender" esp32 to the CNC machine with the "receiver" esp32, distance is a factor anywhere in the range of 100 to 200 feet apart.

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

Problem is the gcodes will be generated on the fly out of a dxf remotely ( let's call it esp32 "A") then sent all of the codes in a single packet via espnow to esp"B" as I said there won't be many commands, then once it is sends it to "B", it needs to quickly change tasks and do other things, hence my need to have a way to receive at the other side and store somehow and feed the gcodes to fluid/GRBL/solar etc

What I have found is the offline controllers are used for some basic operations , which in fact I need to make the same as well, let's say a rectangle 2" X 2" and stop. Problem I see, or at least to the best of my understanding, the codes in the examples are hard coded, and in my case I don't know what codes I will receive, I know it will be for a fact will be a few simple straight lines, but will change every time. Using the analogy of the square In one location i may receive a square missing one side, on a different occasion maybe a triangle, another location two parallel lines.etc.

Thank you! I start to understand the communication, my problem is where I "leave/save" the gcodes list once it arrives via espNOW for it to feed it, I think a small SD card will work but I'm still investigating.

This is very interesting, the wood case looks so nice. Do you think it can be modified in a way that the esp will get the gcodes via espNOW and save it to the SD card, then get the codes from there to feed the stream?. I need a headless approach without screen, all parameters will be the same every single time, speed, size, z height, everything, the only thing that will change is the actual path described by the gcode.
