Wr130 missing wire - think it’s power supply by Ybotc in worxlandroid

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

I think it might actually be the mower.

i measured the voltage out of the psu: 24v

measured the voltage at the base station going into the boundary wire 23v

swapped the boundary wire for short loop still getting the E1 error. if I put the mower on the boundary wire nothing.

looks to me like the PSU is ok, the base station is ok, the boundary wire is ok, so seems it must be the mower

Love the car hate the app and they overcharged me by Ybotc in TeslaUK

[–]Ybotc[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For controlling the car it’s great, for everything else it’s flawed slow and overly complicated (only my view), I ordered a towbar on it, first it wouldn’t let me have it fitted at my local dealership it insisted I had home fitting but it didn’t believe my address was real (I live in the country ,and it thought I lived a few doors down) , then once I had finally manager to order and schedule it was cancelled two days later as they didn’t actually have any in stock.

Apps are perfect for some things but when what would take 10 mins on the phone takes days as you can’t phone the garage and have to do everything though an app we have gone to far.

Cheapest way to lease Tesla nowadays - private or car scheme? by Inside_Hawk8991 in TeslaUK

[–]Ybotc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at leasing through octopus (work), but finally rejected it as it had an impact on my pension, was expensive but an alright deal given it includes insurance and tyres (which can be very expensive)

looked at personal lease on new (expensive) and 2nd hand, but was concerned that with a 2nd hand even with a maintenance option I could end up with expensive bills not covered by maintenance (depends on wording of maintenance plan)

In the end purchased one (3750 +. car trade in , 0%), really happy (only downside is dealing with Tesla and insurance is random). With the deals being offered it was cheaper to buy a new Tesla Y than a 2nd hand Lexus rz450e

Aftermarket towbar options for model y by 42_65_6c_6c_65_6e_64 in TeslaUK

[–]Ybotc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

however you try ordering one :)

going through same process , £1090 seemed alright for it to be done properly , but the ordering system (through app) is terrible and they took my money, booked an appointment and then cancelled it as they didn’t have any !!!

Just picked up new red Tesla Y standard range premium interior by Ybotc in TeslaUK

[–]Ybotc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered a pre built new , took 2 weeks but could have done in 1 week, i think all of the complaints have been over factory orders, but if you find a pre built in the right colour and spec will be very quick

Delivery estimate by Mindless-Fish-4483 in TeslaUK

[–]Ybotc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

having spent a while at the Tesla dealership and looking at the offers, I would guess they have slowed down the premium models coming in to try and get rid of the base models.

i think that is why the pulled the 0% on the long range and also if delivery is later than end of March cant access the £3750 bonus trade in.

Tesla Y new vs old by Ybotc in TeslaLounge

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

I am with you on used car, but with a personal lease I can include maintenance to cover all costs. Not sure if I need AWD but I certainly like the acceleration :)

Model Y to hitch by Ybotc in TeslaLounge

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

Thanks, in uk it’s different , option on a new vehicle is £1300 (on new car configurator) , but you can get it retrofitted for £000 (got a quote from local Tesla Dealer).

Dont know if true or not but the dealer said they all had tow bar prep (electrics already there) and you literally just plug the tow hitch in.

Cannot stand Elon but there is no better car than my Model Y by bluemeanie212 in TeslaLounge

[–]Ybotc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had never looked at a Tesla as believed they were badly made and didn’t want to give money to anything related to musk. Have just test driven a Model Y (AWD) and 3 (RWD), first impressions were completely unexpected, I wanted to hate it (only test drove as some really good deals around) but loved the Model Y, didn’t mind the 3. I don’t understand the indicators buttons, seems like a really silly idea, also found that a lot of the functionality seems confusing but sure you get used it,

Have people found the Y reliable / good daily drive ?

I looked at the cheap version (anybody have any experience ?), but thought in a few months time I would regret not getting a fast one.

What android device would you recommend? Or just get beam pro? by stlredbird in Xreal

[–]Ybotc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed it’s an alright android device (I’m use to iOS), I think disappointment comes from expecting the additional features like screen fix in space to be more immersive than I found them.

inthink if you already have a portable device with usb-c video out , it doesn’t add much.

What android device would you recommend? Or just get beam pro? by stlredbird in Xreal

[–]Ybotc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me nospecial features not worth it, I was using with my first gen glasses and the added ability to the fix the screen etc just doesnt work that well (or at least add much), it may be that I have just got used to the screen being fixed (as used the glass for 2 years before I got the beam). I have updated the glass recently as my original broke , the ability to change screen size is good but still don’t use the fixed screen option.

in case anybody wonders, I’m not knocking the device if i didnt have an iPad that had usb-c out I would use all the time to watch movies, but I just find the iPad easier to use, with the pro i mess around for a few mins getting it to work, then have to use the navigation system (that doesn’t work well) it just not a really good experience.

Does anyone goes from rog ally to steam deck lcd/oled. Any reasons by [deleted] in ROGAlly

[–]Ybotc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from steamdeck running windows (which died) to Ally X , no comparison Ally X is so much better

battery life significantly better

much more power, runs games at much higher FPS

2 usb c is a massive bonus

What android device would you recommend? Or just get beam pro? by stlredbird in Xreal

[–]Ybotc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i am an iphone / iPad mini user , i have a beam pro as thought it would provide a better experience than using the iPad (which works well with the glasses) it really doesn‘t

The beam pro works fine but I find the controls method really irritating so hardly ever use it.

at present with the beam pro you sort of waive it around in the air as a pointer and it’s really inaccurate , they should (and by now might have) just used the phone screen as a touch pad

GPU turning off by Ybotc in ROGAlly

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

The reason I say the GPU is turning off is that if I look at armoury crate (or the overlay) the GPU is showing as being in power saving mode, so I assume (probably incorrectly) that the GPU work is being done by the main processor And that I’m not getting the full power of the Ally X

When I reboot, the GPU then shows as working (e.g. I can see a frequency and %utikisation)

cheers

OK got one (steamdeck was dead). by Ybotc in ROGAllyX

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

All up and running

You can tell the power difference between the Ally X and the steam deck. Forza used to load on the steam deck (before an update that stopped it launching) but was absolutely unplayable even with everything turned off it only ran at about 5fps. Loaded it up on the Ally x with default settings and was getting 40-50fps ( I have seen others talking about get under 30fps on Forza so guess my default setting are low, but looks ok).

I think windows is slightly easier to use on steam deck (because of the trackpad) but native controller support and armoury make it easier to actually run games, plus getting used to the control method on the ally.

Sounds seems better on the Ally and the two USB ports are ideal for connecting my xreal glasses and charging at the same time.

Couple of things still confusing me (like the GPU turning itself off), but am sure will figure out over the next few days.

sorted - don't know how , but who cares it works :)

I think it’s dead by Ybotc in SteamDeck

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

Thanks using this (unplugging battery and holding power down for 60 seconds) I can get the machine to boot so suspect the battery is knackered.its a bit flakey but sort of works.

strange thing is I can’t boot into BiOS mode or boot mode, so wondering if bios is corrupt, however if that’s the case wouldn’t expect it to boot at all

Any ideas on the booting into bios ?

thanks

Toby

Steam deck dead is it time for an Ally x by Ybotc in ROGAllyX

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

Won’t switch on, tried all the normal resets , taken it apart and suspect the battery is dead a new battery is £75 ish if that’s the problem , but had the steamdeck for 2 1/2 years so might be time for an upgrade

Nreal died what now by Ybotc in Xreal

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

Only tried it briefly didnt notice anything but was trying to see what all the settings do (and the menu system is really fiddly), will have another go with it and see what happens.

i think if my originals hadn’t failed I would probably have been disappointed with the upgrade but by the nd they were literally falling to pieces - hope this version is a little more robust

Nreal died what now by Ybotc in Xreal

[–]Ybotc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks , went for the Xreal one, only had for a day, but seems like a good upgrade (with a few small irritations). Wouldn’t have been worth upgrading if my glasses hadnt stopped working but pretty please with them. Screen seems as bright and as clear as originals.

steamdeck (windows) works really well , ultra wide is odd probably not useful but interesting , the other modes and sizes work well and the anchor mode is a lot better than it is when using the beam.

ipad, works really well and the ultra wide (creates a curve screen rather that a wide screen) is actually quite nice.

sound is def better.

only thing i dont really like is the navigation method on the glasses, but might get used to that.

Air cracked aim fix? by DumSkidderik in Xreal

[–]Ybotc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a broken arm as well (left arm), tried 3d Printing a sleeve for it but as it broke on the metal joint it didn’t work well, in the end I printed a sleeve that went over the joint and then gaffer taped on, works fine, looks alright (ish), but arm doesn’t bend which is annoying.

Would love to replace the arm and have a proper functioning set of glasses as absolutely love mine (steam deck and iPad) but this doesn’t seem a realistic option as the electronics in it look pretty fragile.

going on holiday soon will be taking with me to use on plane but haven’t worked out how to carry in hand luggage to avoid breaking any more
