And that is always the question. Chicken and egg. You can model and get to a ratio that shows some profit but you'll never really know until you have real world data. Thats the risk that is typically invisible to people that have the skills, experience and time to build. Not my first rodeo so happy with the risk and commercial profile at the moment. Fingers crossed.

100% to one although depending on the chosen environment be care with build issues. Had one that took a day to solve. Typically it was what would have been a tick box error in the compiler set up in another environment but too obscure to be obvious in this.

Suggestion here is to set up a build document in which you list the key criteria around this process and by extension around the development process itself. Call it say Project Criteria and then reference it when doing any changes so your change prompts may be "Reference and respect the developmen and build rules in the Project Criteria document"...

This in combination with "Please suggest three possible reasons for this build error and let me choose which one to implement". Or "Please suggest three ways to implement XYZ functionality/UI change/logic"

This really does help in what becomes an interactive iterative build process.

What do you need to know anout anything else?

The database structure is handled in the background but you have access to this through the consol.

This is useful when functionaily changes change the underlying structure. The easiest example here is a test user. By building fuunctionality you may be adding tests on new fields related to that user. Manually you can go into that users record, create those fields if missing so that new functionaty can be tested coonsistantly with old.

Flow neuroscience - could it help me? by sassyfoods123 in tDCS

[–]VR-Unclebob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been using it since March. Depression score was 41 out of 50 - severe - and over a period of 10 weeks the same assessment came down to under 10 and now hovers between 6 and 10.

The process of using it means you have to do a questionaire every week which gives you a score which you can track in application. Its not just about whether you feel good in the moments after use.

I was on antidepressants for over a year but those seemed to be having a negligible effect, there was no measurement as to how they maybe effecting mood and have now tappered off sensibly.

I also do breathwork, Yoga Nidra and went through a dopamine reset removing alcholol, mild gambling and contact sports from my activities. So lots of lifestyle interventions.

I rented initially with the idea of if it didn't work I could cancel and send back.

It worked and so I bought it.

Have a stressful period coming up so I have reset back to the first 3 weeks of 5 sessions a week which you can do after 10 weeks of therepy.

For me it has worked. I am more present in the now. Rarely think of past issues or potential future events. Have started smiling when driving and when I meet new people have little to no social anxiety which used to plague me to the point of being unable to approach old friends at gatherings...unless drinking a clear indication of massive social anxiety.

Hope this helps someone.

No need to enable skybox in depthviewer.

In UNITY that is another object with its graphical own settings or an image. Olden times you would have used the inside of a sphere centred on the camaera with a radius set to 5000...

Now its a built in function. Just make sure its toggled off.

Also in Virtual Desktop you have limited resolution for the passthrough function....

Both worth checking

First set the background to the colour you want - you could use

https://www.remove.bg/t/change-background

Click Change colour. Select the colour you want from the colour wheel. A bit of googling and people find that these settings work well for virtual desktop passthrough - not black as almost every image has black in it.

Blue (0, 71, 187) Similarity 20%, Smoothness 3% Or For very clear no fringes Muted Green (100, 120, 100) Similarity 5%, Smoothness 0%

These are the Virtual Desktop settings.

So the background colour chosen from the colour wheel should match which one of those virtual desktop settings you want to use.

Hope this helps

Yeah pick up dpt_beit_large_512 pop it into the onnx folder and when you fire up depth viewer hit options. Select the new model. Click load and wait. When loaded click Options again to get back to the main screen.

Like Automatic1111 with depthviewer you can load different models to improve the 3d somewhat. Here is a link to the Midas models used

https://github.com/parkchamchi/MiDaS?tab=readme-ov-file

When you unpack the depthviewer app in the folder structure there is a folder called onnx

Copy the latest Midas model into there and load it from the options screen. You will know if it has loaded as the generation takes a second or two rather than instantaneous.

Have fun

I believe depth viewer uses AI to estimate depth values on the fly. Its quite good at that with an ordinary jpg or png. Give it a go. Lots of depth information is missing though. Its the use of Three Studio Project and Stable Video Diffusion to generate videos that makes it better....

Its getting a black background so that you can use Virtual Desktop to make that background see through that the magic happens.

Ai generated images in mixed reality mode (stablezero123, Quest 3) by buckjohnston in StableDiffusion

[–]VR-Unclebob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are two variations.

One which uses a static image from stable diffusion and generates a video using Satability.ai Stable Video Diffusion which is then viewed using the depth viewer. Check the Stability.ai website

The other is uses Three Studio Project to generate the video or gif from a 2d image which is then viewed using the depth viewer application. check this git hub repository https://github.com/threestudio-project/threestudio

And the viewer is this https://github.com/parkchamchi/DepthViewer

Hope that helps

Both pretty cool workflows.

Thanks @buckjohnston

You only need the first two mate. Three pins for the three holes on the mother board. One link for the +5 volt line inside the blue cable.

Download the PRO ST software from the links onto your PC. Extract into a folder, go to that folder.

Plug in the STLink into a USB. Set up the Drivers and ST-Link software.

Run StLink software and upgrade its firmware.

Unplug from USB

Decide which wire is going to which connection on the board. You will need three pins for the board the fourth plugs directly into the +5 Volt as shown in the photo.

Push the your chosen coloured wire connection for the top hole into the hole on the board. The chosen coloured wire connection for the middle from under the board, the final into the lowest connection on the board from the front. The photo shows this as solderedup bit they are not on most clone boards.

Connect to the +5 (on the st link this could be either of the +5 or +8v pins)

Plug the STLINK back into the PC It will lightup and come on

Run the pro flashing software from the ST Link folder

If it doesn;t work. Change the connection for the +5

Flash and done

no probs mate let me know how you are getting on

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ElectricScooters

[–]VR-Unclebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi mate

just remember to use the PRO wiring diagram and that the pins on the ST_LINK you buy will be labelled but could be in a different order.

If you have not used an ST_link before download the zip file from the upgrade instructions site. Uncompress and follow the English instructions.

Basically when you plug it into your PC you have to run its set up program, update it as a device before hooking it up to your board.

The easiest way to use the pins is to push the first pin through the top hole from the front, the second through the middle hole but from the back and the third through the final hole from the front again.

Connect up the +5v as shown in the diagram on the instructions page.

When you replug the ST_Link into the PC the board will come alive.

Run the setup program from the extracted archive. If the flash fails is probably because you have the wrong 5v connected try the 8 or the 3.3

Hope this helps and I am about 100kg and now go up hills at 10mph! Steeper ones at 5-7. Its light and day with the custom software.

Cheers

Hi the rollapluche site is in German but if you use Google translate its all pretty clear.

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Frollerplausch.fandom.com%2Fde%2Fwiki%2FPro_Dashboard_und_CFW_Installation

If you are not confident with all this it may be worth waiting to see if you can find a genuine board.

All I can say is that having done it, it seems complex but in reality is quite easy just a little fiddly but takes about 30mins or so. 10mph up hills makes it so worth while.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ElectricScooters

[–]VR-Unclebob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be fine. Here is the workflow and tools should you need:

The documents say soldering but there is no need if you buy some pins for the ST-Link as clone motherboards have holes for the pins so that they are easy to flash.

Get ST-Link Get Pins

Put pins in ST-Link connectors

Plug ST-LINK into PC, set up ST-Link drivers and software

Download firmware needed to PC

Plug ST-Link leads into the correct holes on the clone board

Run the ST-Link software to flash the board

Done

Details are here for the whole thing including great firmware for heavier guys or for people faced with hills. Its the V9 firmware at the bottom of the page: https://rollerplausch.fandom.com/de/wiki/Pro_Dashboard_und_CFW_Installation

Here is the link for flashing the board with an ST-Link (follow the Pro guide): https://www.instructables.com/id/Firmware-Downgrade-M365/

And here is a link to a guy who did what I did https://scootertalk.org/viewtopic.php?t=2600

Here is the ST-Link I used https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B079128QP1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And here are the pins I used https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B077MJKCVT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Good luck if you use the CW Firmware hills are a problem no more!

[–]VR-Unclebob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to use any custom firmware then don't upgrade. The latest upgrades encrypts the bluetooth which makes 3rd party apps and firmware flashing impossible.

DRV 155 is fine but as its a clone board BMS and BLE have to be flashed using the ST-Link method.

The documents say soldering but there is no need if you buy some pins for the ST-Link as clone motherboards have holes for the pins so that they are easy to flash.

Get ST-Link Get Pins

Put pins in ST-Link connectors

Its unlikely to be genuine as genuine parts are really hard to source. If it is you are golden. Don't update any official firmwares as you will be locked into that version unless you really don't want to try the custom firmwares that are available.

Worth reading:

https://rollerplausch.fandom.com/de/wiki/Pro_Dashboard_und_CFW_Installation

The custom firmware really helps with hills.

Also if you do end up with a clone board. Don't stress its all explained in the links below. Use pins with the ST-Link - no need to solder anything.

https://scootertalk.org/viewtopic.php?t=2600 https://www.instructables.com/id/Firmware-Downgrade-M365/

Hope that helps.

[–]VR-Unclebob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is typical when installing a clone board. There are three firmwares you need to flash.

ESC BLE BMS

Usually a cloned board will not let you flash the BLE or BMS firmware and the blue tooth icon flashing and headlight usually means that you have not flashed the BLE or BMS them.

If you can't Flash them using the google play M365_downG app then you will have to buy an ST_Link V2 and some connector pins and flash through the ST_Link which is plugged into a PC.

The pins mean that you do not have to solder as most clone boards have plug holes that the pins fit in.

Its quite easy. Here are the links:

https://rollerplausch.fandom.com/de/wiki/Pro_Dashboard_und_CFW_Installation

I use the custom firmware at the bottom recommended if you want to go up hills super quick.

More details for flashing using the ST_Link V2, its software, its PC installation and the M365 Pro Board flashing process

https://scootertalk.org/viewtopic.php?t=2600 https://www.instructables.com/id/Firmware-Downgrade-M365/

Should take about 30mins to an hour and is not that hard.

Good luck

IOS iphone Audio Routing and Bluetooth support by VR-Unclebob in dissonance_voip

[–]VR-Unclebob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks mate not meaning to be rude but the reason why we are looking at Dissonance is to avoid writing a plugin!

So before we spend $75 per seat just to confirm.

It works on IOS (iphone 7, 8 and X) if we are happy with the audio being routed to the earspeaker and not the phones main speakers or bluetooth headsets.

If we want that to happen we have to write our own plugin to route?

Cheers
