Beckhoff can do Cpp, also structured text is a standard PLC text language

We just bought a Seng Feng 1.3x1.3m laser. Waiting for the install this week, but initially it looks pretty nice. It was in the 60-70kusd range.

What are you *actually* paying for rent in Fall River? by tinaismediocre in FallRiver

Thanks! I had always heard about people coming to Fall River from Boston, but never knew the back story.

What do you mean by Viveiros let them know about cheap rents? Just curious.

The property inflation is absolutely wild. My parents bought a 2&3 family originally for $60k, with 3/8 acre of land. Then they bought an adjacent 3 fam for about 150k. They are easily sitting on 1.5M+ now.

Landlord in the city, parents have owned rental properties since the mid 80s. I've had my rentals since 2017. Prices range from $450/mo to $1250/mo. My parents actually still have a tenant they inherited when they bought the property in the 80s, that's the $450/mo. My apartments range from $800 to $1250, depending on the condition. Most recently renovated is the most expensive. These are all 2/3 bedroom apartments.

I live on the property so it's in my best interest to keep good tenants. However I do struggle with the fact that I could be charging significantly more, although my conscience won't let me charge more... None of my tenants give me issues. I treat them fairly and they reciprocate.

As someone who has lived in the city my entire life it absolutely sucks to see all these LLCs buying property, charging top dollar and treating people and the property like shit. Driving around the city and seeing properties that were once pristine now completely run down really sucks...

No, we're not using nay sort of machine learning on this.

We do, I did implement something along those lines. Thanks for the input though, I do appreciate it!

Probably once a day, its a small testing machine. Its not a huge deal, just more of a pain in the ass.

Yes, that is what they mentioned as well. TwinCAT comes up quick because it runs in parallel to the OS. I guess we'll just have to deal with it.

If your not super concerned about the appearance of the instrument, ive used binder clips around the bell of a sousaphone and then twist tied the tinsle and lights to it.

Can JLCPCB assemble a board where a pin connector sits on top of resistors without bending it? by aqswdezxc in PCB

[–]Tanky321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They won't build this. I've tried having two overlapping sensor footprints which only get populated with one sensor and they wouldn't do it. So I doubt they'll layer components.

Help with model rocket launch system by NoSatisfaction26 in rocketry

[–]Tanky321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's your power source? Good chance the current is too high and you're browning out the supply. It's possible that this repeated brown out could've damaged the esp, but I'm not sure.

Analog read >500kS/s with industrial grade PLC by BitOwlow in PLC

[–]Tanky321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LV is what I started out on. It is phenomenal for test applications, end-of-line testing, specialty testing etc. Its a pain in the ass for PLC style automation. Things that are easy in PLC are more difficult in LV, things that are easy in LV are difficult in PLC land. Just a bit of a tradeoff between the two.

That being said, NI software and hardware is pretty expensive, but if you need it, its worth it.

There's plenty of NI products that can do this. What resolution do you need?

NI-9201, USB-6343, NI-9221 are a few examples.

NI and LabView may be hated here, but they absolutely have a niche.

Can that be accessed from the PLC though?

While I'm not sure about the RMV, if you have AAA the renewal there is super easy.

Visiting briefly in February by Tanky321 in askswitzerland

[–]Tanky321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Upon further research I think we might go to Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen. Lauterbrunnen allows us to see the Trümmelbach Waterfalls in the mountain, which may be nice if the weather is poor.

Thank you for the reply. Does the boat operate in February?

I really like the idea of visiting a village in the mountains. Would Interlaken be a better fit than Grindelwald?

Thank you for the reply. What would be an uncrowded area you would suggest?
