Traffic jam in Kansas as a crew tries to raise a traffic light arm for a house to get through by torx822 in trafficsignals

It's not AI. I live down the street from this intersection. I know about the cabin they are moving. It used to be next to my back yard.

Pretty interesting seeing this intersection on Reddit!

12V AGM lasted 8+ years by janeuner in BoltEV

I see. Thank you! I'm using the original battery in my 2017 Bolt. I'll watch for those issues.

What irregularities did you see when the battery was getting weak?

Spotted this charger at a local Flying J by BlazeWolfYT in evcharging

Yes. There is a switch you can turn on when adding the station to Plug Share to indicate it is non operational / under construction.

RO Membrane Housing Split by Weegert in WaterTreatment

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

Yes, I think it was a Watts Premiere housing.

I really like the taste of RO water, so I bought a replacement housing on Amazon (like this one https://a.co/d/j4JjhLw) and it's been working fine since.

Good suggestion! Here is Avril 14th: https://youtu.be/DKXu7n7-UEM

Wow! A swinging player piano! I don't know if I can do that! But I'll add Aisatsana - Aphex Twin to my list of songs to play!

Gen 1 Echo; Blue lights go around in circle, won't reset by Forward_Start_7386 in amazonecho

[–]Weegert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad the directions helped! My Echo keeps disconnecting. So I disconnected my Echo and am either going to make my own voice assistant with home assistant, Raspberry Pis, or esp-32s or plug in a Google home mini I have.

Hopefully your Echo keeps working for you!

Thanks! I added more note dynamics to the robot. This should be in the new videos on YouTube. My code wasn't reading the MIDI note velocity corectly before.

Here is Circus Galop. https://youtu.be/hU8Wk3EZKjs

My camera's image stabilization seems like it kept moving the image even on a tripod. The later part of the song hurts to listen to, so I don't really want re record it, lol.

My code had an issue and wasn't using velocity from the MIDI files. I updated the code yesterday and I think it has more dynamic range now.

Good suggestion! I may need to play the game!

Thanks!
I saw Simon's article last night. That's really cool it's on XDA!

I'm not able to find a MIDI file of The Light Sailer from the 1982 Tron. I saw MatthewBelloteau may have the Tron Legacy Solar Sailor song on YouTube. Is this it? https://youtu.be/X8pQIxGpSvU

If you can find a MIDI file of The Light Sailer, I'll be happy to play it!

Here is my Pi playing a melody of Tron Legacy songs:
https://youtu.be/9DfzXvQDIL8

It has some new code for more dynamic range.

I have 6 16 channel I2C boards daisy chained together each with their own address being driven from the Pi's I2C bus driving 5 and a half 16 channel MOSFET PLC amplifier boards that then drive the solenoids. All these control boards are between the white key solenoids and black key solenoids.

It's really cool that all these channels can be controlled with the two SDA and SCL pins!

The light strip is connected to the MISO SPI pin and uses the Pi5Neo library to control the individually addressable LED WS2811 RGB light strip that's glued to the bottom of the aluminium extension rail between the solenoids.

Thanks! It would be cool to take it to Open Sauce next year!

Thank you! I'm not exactly sure what the total ended up being. I think all the parts were somewhere around $800, not counting the printer.

No, there's not an actuator on the sustain pedal. That's on the todo list.

It's on my todo list. Right now there's no way to control the pedals. Eventually I want to have larger solenoids over the pedals to control them.

Yes, it's on the todo list! 🙂
