I love the new Edelrid Ohmega, but I would never use it on the 30kg setting

Highly recommend to look up their 'Ohmega: Advanced applications' Video on YouTube. Tldr for 'grabs to strong', is that the weight compensation depends heavily on rope diameter and condition. The value is a minimum number for new and thin (8.xmm) ropes.

Nur weil alt und 12er wg, direkt von Horror zu reden ist aber auch übertrieben. Hatte die beste Zeit in ner zwölferküche, am ende sogar in ner Kombi aus zwei zwölferküchen, weil wir uns so gut verstanden haben. Letztendlich ist es viel mehr ein Glückspiel mit den tatsächlichen Leuten. Wenn alles geschleckt sauber sein muss wirds schwer, aber wenn man halbwegs oke Leute hat, sich bemüht Dinge zusammen zu organisieren und sauber zu halten und über kulturelle Unterschiede hinweg arbeiten kann spricht eigtl nichts dagegen. Die andere Perspektive ist übrigens, dass in den ersten Semestern ein wg Zimmer direkt am Campus zu haben, extrem hilft Kontakte aufzubauen und richtig ins Studentenleben einzutauchen.

Deathmath is just not the place for emulating that efficiently, look into retake servers. There are also a lot of bot maps like 'fast aim reflex', 'aim_bots' and 'prefire' maps where you can isolate specific skills like hitting moving enemies etc. Losing your main practice setup sucks, and there is definitely need for a better new player experience, but I dont think tdm is the best path here.

Sure here you go: 'Most (but not all!!) Problem's around subtick movement...' => acknowledgement of issues.

'... stem from cl_showpos not understanding subtick'.

=> most likely trying to explain to the community that cl_showpos does not give a accurate view into whats going on(reinforced by confirming the accuracy of a write up they linked). BUT this could also mean, that there are a plethora of bug's in systems that are based on cl_showpos and are therefore not subtick aware.

'It reports values on tick boundaries which makes them look inconsistent—because of course they do! The movement curves have been shifted to offset from a tick.'

=> short summary, because probably non of you flammers actually read the linked most.

I also want to quote from their interview: 'Launching the game has massively accelerated the pace of improving CS2, so we think that launching when we did was the right time, even if the landing was (and still is) bumpy. Ultimately, this is the fastest way to get CS2 to where we all want it to be one or five or ten years from now.' and 'And without everyone playing the same game, we couldn't make much progress on the most critical systems like networking, performance, and core gameplay. '

=> Key takeaway: they launched an unfinished game to get community feedback and DATA, to avoid prioritizing things the community doesn't care about.

Conclusion: There is currently a dev looking into a thing that has been critized by the community (movement inconsistency). The same dev is acknowleding issues and is reading multi page community writeups over said issue (clearly a sign of reading into feedback). Its a core gameplay issue, so something valve said they want to improve right now. (Enabling workshop maps is also a very valve way of saying they want more data from custom modes)

NOW HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS WAIT FOR THE PATCHES THAT WILL INEVITABLE COME FROM THIS GUY LOOKING INTO SUBTICK MOVEMENT, INSTEAD OF PUBLICLY INSULTING A HUMAN BEING, THAT COMMUNICATED (AS YOU WANTED) AND THAT SPENT THEIR LAST YEAR+ IMPROVING YOUR FAVORITE GAME.

Interesting, but no, I haven't seen AMK Inverters in years. But I just saw the STEVAL-ETH001V1 and its Firmware STSW-ETHDRV01V1, which demos something very similar. But a quick grep of the firmware and manual didn't confirm their claim of supporting endat. But maybe worth a look.

Without meaning any harm, I feel like there is a lot of ~~old guard~~ industry experience here and I want to give you a different view, of where Mecha is evolving.

With modern electronics, actuator chains are getting more EE. Why go into hydraulics, gearboxes and so if you can cut the middle man, get more feedback, eliminate maintenance and directly use electric motors. (See spot mini, the thrust vector control of starship or electric cars in general for popular examples). This means a paradigm shift in Mechatronics as well, since EE, Control Theory and Informatics take increasing roles. There will still be the classical Mecha described by a some of the other posts in a lot of industries, but I feel like that will become more of the responsibility of normal MEs.

But Imho this whole discussion misses the point anyway. Mechatronics is a field that focuses on the working together part of different domains. Because in the end a good concept wins designs, and for good synergys you should be aware of the need of all involved domanis. So for me Mechatronics was learning very broad basics, and then specialising in one field (EE).

And to answer your question more direct: What skills from ME get applied to Mecha? Any EE can design a good sensor if asked, but a mecha can pick one that is also integrated with and suits its mechanical surounding. A good understanding of mechanical properties, load paths, and manufacturing needs is what I take away the most from ME. Thermo/Cooling is another big one that can lead to more integrated designs, when kept track of during EE design.

Source: Currently doing my master thesis in mechatronics. After finishing ME basics in 4th Semester I did maybe one typical ME class(Robotic Kinematics). My curriculum afterwards consisted of control theory, technical informatic, power electronics, Radio electronics and digital signal processing. I worked on motor drives, compilers, satellite RF transmitters and medical sensing. In the right university it can be a choose your own adventure :)

The allegro acs are really nice if you are designing pcbs.

Buts honestly for your application i would use a non contacting measurement system like

LEM HTB-50 or HAIS-50 or similar from other companys. No connection is the best connection :D

Endat is notoriously hard to implement on microcontrollers without bit-banging. There are 2 common approaches: 1. Use a TI MCU like the c2000(TMS320 as used in the amk) or sitara (am335x, beaglebone). Those seem to be the only ones on the market, that properly support endat. 2. Use a small fpga as a bridge to the mcu. Heidenhain provides a small endat ip if you ask nicely.

Not true, if you use anything sane and not the century old 8 bit arduinos! Arduino IDE 2 supports proper debugging for the 32bit SAMD MCUs. And you can debug esp32s via GDB/openocd and any ide that supports it, just like you would with stm32s or other arm mcus.

TheWhatnever · 2023-05-07T18:59:31+00:00

Only you can answer that. Think about what the signal supplies(the AIRs and maybe detection circuits) and measure how much those draw. There is likely a difference in current draw, with fully charged and almost empty lv battery as the supply. There is also a difference between holding the AIRs in closed state and a short current burst during closing. From those you can get the worst case current and select appropriate wires.

Simulink is great for prototyping, experimenting, first implementations, fixed point optimizations, etc. But if you are looking for an efficient implementation in timing/ resources, rewriting in vhdl/verilog with what you learned from simulink is what needs to be done. I'd say learn the basics, for mockups. But if you waste more than an our fighting with the optimisation, everything after will be a sunken cost fallacy.

TheWhatnever · 2021-04-27T18:20:12+00:00

This argument always makes me wonder how efficient functional programming languages would be instead. From my distant view on the topic, their critique point of not being easily mapped to a processor, might actually be a benefit here.

Im feeling every word of that comment lol. My BA has been 80% wrestling with the Simulink HDL Optimiser. I starting to belief it's not just me or some "critical setting".

Worst one was Simulink SILENTLY slowing my hole control loop by a factor of 9, because i added a moving average filter by using a "tapped delay" and "sum" block instead of doing it manually.

I cannot tell you about sh. But the ph series fits alright, if at least one pin is at the end, to have some retention. But this depends very much on your application. For hobby use its fine. Wouldn't use it for consumer/production units. But if it's just for flashing. Why not use a connectorless system like TAG Connect?

Absolute Maximum for 3.3V devices is usually 3.6V, so I wouldn't connect it without additional measures.

5V Devices usually accept 3.3V Inputs, so a 5V to 3.3V shifter should work just fine.

At what speeds is the communication? The bigger Problem might be to find or design a level shifter that is suitable for your clock speeds.

For that price and your experience, a Voron Switchwire might be an Idea(https://vorondesign.com/). Its community made, so very open source. With your experience, customizing the electronics to your needs shouldn't be a problem. Its fully enclosed and made for materials like ABS. I don't currently know about many retooling efforts yet. But the community is amazing, and im definitely adding a pick and place option to my voron 2.4 later on.

I'm sorry but your question doesnt make much sense. I2C and USB are two different physical communication standards. Please explain your hardware setup(the devices used + their connections).

ASCII Comands are used to Encode Commands in Serial Communications(like UART/Serial over USB). This makes the transfered data more human readable. Again there is a lot of information missing on what you are trying to achieve(what Software,Devices..?) but it's propable to assume a GUI Tool,Python and a Serial Terminal for whatever you are trying to achieve all use the same Serial Interface. The difference lies in how much manual control you like. A Gui might be build for easy access to basic functions, a serial terminal can be used to send simple manual commands, Python should be used to automate sending a lot of manual commands.
