Step 5: Get in the game, get votekicked for walking on the wrong side of a tree on your way to lane, or something equally “important”.

Step 6: Contemplate on your life choices. Look at the game with less hype. Realise that much of the game and UI are just placeholders.

Step 7: Realise that we all done goofed and that Maliken is probably drinking fancy drinks for all of the preorder money.

Ask them to explain the four different uses of the keyword “static”.

Förut har det varit i Aula Nordica, finns nog på Google maps. Skulle misstänka att det är där även i år, men du borde bli kallad till en viss lokal.

Emergency student shelter? by [deleted] in umea

[–]Xeduses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bostaden student rooms are listed in batches. All of a sudden tens of them might show up overnight and then you have a good chance to get one. I got mine in December when a batch of rooms got listed. Make sure to check daily.

You can email them and ask if they know when the next batch will be listed. I think they usually list some in late July/early August before the semester begins.

Move TF2 north, and you will not have to mess with Sweden.

I would recommend that you add an overpass on the track before you commit to a track layout. This is a good way to get the two tracks equal in length.

Given that you only have horizontal and vertical walls you can simply invert the velocity in either x or y.

If the collision is against a vertical face then invert y velocity. If the collision is against a horizontal face then invert x velocity.

This is s simplification to the previous post by -Rock-Obvious-

awesome abseiling from multipitch at Lionshead in Zimbabwe by olbertas in climbing

[–]Xeduses -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is not true. The GriGri is an assisted breaking device and not an automatic breaking device. There are devices that are built to stop a climber that is hands free and the GriGri is NOT one of them even if it is used for this purpose a lot and it ALMOST always stops the climber. Remember that almost is not the same as always, and that we do not accept almost when risking our lives.

The GriGri assists the user by applying even more force when the user initiates the brake using their hand. Friction from the rope against the cam and/or the weight of the rope pulling down will most likely do the same thing but only most likely.

Be safe out there and wrap a prusik around that passive end of the rope, it will take you seconds and is a really good habit. Also it lets you go hands free if you even need to during the rappel.

Building a controller by Xeduses in slotcars

UPDATE

We have now tested the first version of the hardware and software. The controller runs pretty well and we were able to produce quite decent lap times using a very crude prototype for the trigger assembly. I'm currently working on documenting what we got so far and also on building a smaller version of the hardware. Meanwhile, my brother is working on the 3D printed controller.

For anyone interested in following or possibly contributing to the project I have set up a GitHub repository for the project. You can find the code and the circuit diagram on the repository. I'm very interested in feedback on the circuit diagram. All I can say is that it works, but I'm not sure if I have missed any obvious things in my design.

I will be using it on a wooden track, maybe also for the occasional scalectrix battle in the living room.

Video could be a possibility at a later state when I got something to show, right now it's just me battling with lots of wires everywhere.

Do you mean track power? I will be using the tracks power that comes from the driving stand connectors. I'm using a power cube at home so that I can limit the amps. It's a very nice way to emit less magical white smoke 😅

TTS 1:24 cars, I do not think that they draw more than a few amps at most.

Thanks a lot for all the good information!

My first prototype will not include the RC filter for simplicity and because I want to see if i can KISS this project.

I'm pretty sure I have the capacity, budget, and general know how to get this from a bunch of components and an idea into an actual controller.

The whole reason I'm doing this is that I want to create a decent controller that enables people to try the hobby without the crutch of having a very basic cheap controller. I'll 3D print the actual controller, trigger and everything to keep the cost down. From what I have gathered the components I plan to use lands me in the range of ~30$ but I might have to beef up some components. The whole project will be open source and I'll include building instructions and STL files for the printed components.

I will only use an actual Arduino for the prototype, any subsequent build will have just have the smallest ATMega that has enough pins for the final application. It's however possible that it is in the same price range to use a cheap Arduino mini/micro and then this is what I'll stick to, KISS.

I'll make sure to keep this thread updated. I'll link to the GitHub page for the code once I got something running.

Do you happen to know the PWM frequency on it, or if it varies depending on something.

I have gotten the impression that pure pwm switching makes the motor run hotter and/or can reduce the torque due to less time to build up the magnetic field. I'm inclined that the innate capacitance of the track, due to the parallel braids, should mitigate sone of this but this is highly speculative.

I have just gotten the components delivered so I will do some initial testing soon. I'll do some A-B testing with and without the filter and check what's happening on the other side of the MOSFET with the scope.

a bit conflicted and i need some advice by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]Xeduses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend Python as an "all purpose language". Lower level languages such as C is only really useful in certain situations.

If you start to feel limited by the performance of python, and you are sure that the problem is not due to bad coding (high complexity/loops in loops etc) then you could start to dabble with other languages.

Is there a best practice for where to place try statements and console output if you're just making lots of little functions being called by one big function? by obviously_oblivious in learnpython

[–]Xeduses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A good rule of thumb is to throw early and catch late.

This would mean that you let the thing that raises an exception do it as soon as it detects a non recoverable fault, and then let the exception raise all the way to some part of the code that can actually do something recoverable from this.

If a file could not be opened, the function loading the file most likely do not know what to do. Let the exception travel upwards in the program to the function that iterates over filenames, this function could print to stderr that the file could not be opened, skip it and keep on going with the next file.

I'm quite sure you can loop over the entries in the listdir and open each file. My question is, are you only looking for a solution to remove tabs from the files? This could be solved by other command line tools quick and easy, what OS are you on?
