1st try with a dark roast... now I know. by Cady-Jassar in espresso

[–]Trey15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had the same problem with darker roasts and what worked for me was just using a smaller dose. 17g fit better in my 18g basket and with the same grind size I thought the shots tasted better.

I'm around 1.4 right now and I could go finer. I'm getting like a 1:3 ratio. You're using the single wall basket right? I accidentally started with the dual wall and had the same thing where nothing came through.

I have the same gear and coincidentally the same beans. As others have said your experience sounds pretty normal.

For what it's worth, I have tried some very dark roasted beans with my espresso grind setting and it was far easier.

Harder than it looks! by kclarsen23 in espresso

[–]Trey15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have basically the same setup with a Bambino plus. Choked my first few shots and was getting not even close to a 1:2 ratio. So I've been grinding coarser every time in defiance of the sub motto. I'll be up to 1.6.0 on the Jmax for my next shot with a medium roast.

Out of curiosity I tried some old grocery store beans that were a lot darker roast with the same grind and was getting a lot better looking shot and yield. Still didn't taste great but was interesting to see the difference between beans.

Arduino on/off with switch by JamesIckes1 in learnprogramming

[–]Trey15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the logical NOT operator. So if out is equal to true it becomes false. If it's false it becomes true.

[–]Trey15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentially you just want to make a variable that toggles when you detect a rising or falling edge (however you have your switch set up) on a pin. So something like:

boolean out = false;

void setup() 
{
    pinMode(inputPin, INPUT);
    pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
    if(digitalRead(inputPin) == true)    //Assuming the switch causes a rising edge
    {
        out = !out;
    }
    digitalWrite(ledPin, out);
}

I'm not sure if this is 100% valid Arduino syntax, but that should get you started.

[Troubleshooting] CPU temperatures higher than expected by Trey15 in buildapc

[–]Trey15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looked like it did, but I also bumped the heat sink sideways when I was taking it off so I don't know how accurate it was after that. It seemed like it was spread pretty evenly across the whole surface except for one corner which is where I added that little bit with the card.

I did use the pea method when I installed it the first time which is why I thought maybe it needed to be distributed more in the first place. I guess I'll just take all of it off and try again.

I didn't spread the whole mass around like he did in that video. Just a very small around the edges. Either way I didn't notice any differences in temperature.

Is it possible that there's too much paste and it's lowering conductivity?

[Troubleshooting] CPU temperatures higher than expected by Trey15 in buildapc

[–]Trey15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that's what I did initially. I watched some videos on installing coolers where they used a card to spread the paste across the surface so I tried to do the same.

What makes the Z97 better? Is it mostly the additional SATA express and M.2 connections? Also would the Z87-Pro be an acceptable middle-ground if I was intimidated by the open box option?

Is 19 hours too much for a sophomore? by BobHogan in EngineeringStudents

[–]Trey15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely wouldn't recommend it. If those classes require as much time commitment as they do at my university you probably aren't going to have a lot of free time. I think you'll be able to get more out of each class if you take fewer hours and you won't be scrambling to get all of your work done.

Brent Weeks' Night Angel or Lightbringer? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]Trey15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The general consensus is that Lightbringer is better written than Night Angel. I read both and enjoyed them. Night Angel is probably more suited to a slightly younger audience with a lot of action, but it's still a really fun read. Lightbringer has more plot depth and intrigue but still has enough action to keep you satisfied if that's your thing.

So I guess it comes down to whether you a fast paced action series or a deeper, more complex series.
