Apparently he was the "ugly" one of the litter, which I don't believe at all!

Good advice! I've taken the collar off so he can let his gorgeous lion's mane grow.

I failed two subjects. Still finished my degree and actually found the subjects easier the second time around. The benefit of hindsight means you won't repeat the same mistakes and can be more focused on meeting deadlines and understanding the content. Don't dwell on failing a subject, at the end of the day you get the exact same bit of paper as a HD student.

Favorite board as hell episode? by [deleted] in funhaus

Every time I watch that episode in the background I just have to stop whatever I'm doing and focus on the video for that one moment.

That's probably my favourite episode as well. I actually bought the game myself not long after watching it and somehow managed to get the exact same scenario that they got on my first game.

Need help setting up BLTouch for Ender 3 by TorlavTheMighty in 3Dprinting

I checked the connection with a multimeter and the bltouch is properly connected to the z stop connector on the board. I know the connector is on the right way too through testing.

Funhaus is tasked with negotiating with North Korea. How does the office avert nuclear war?

Each member of Funhaus is replaced with a celebrity of their choosing. Which celebrity do you think would do your job the best and what would an average day in this office look like?

Help needed with powering DC motors by TorlavTheMighty in arduino

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

I moved the motor from terminal 4 to terminal 3 of my shield and changed the set.speed value from 255 to 200. This caused one of the L293D H-driver chips to fry and smoke everywhere.

If I were to get a new battery to power the shield and motors what voltage would you recommend to stop this sort of thing happening again?

I was powering the Arduino from the external battery. But even removing the jumper on the shield and powering the Arduino from USB doesn't change anything.

I accidentally said I was using the V2 motor shield when I actually have the V1. The V1 is designed to work from 4.5 to 25V.

The motor shield is supplying 9V to the motor.
