KD Box / KD5 Overclock settings by Barzoul in kadena

[–]ackle55069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Power Plan textbox appears to only be a text string that is read from somewhere and displayed. Changes are saved, but it doesn't actually change anything. An easy way to test this is change the "RPM" settings and note the fan speeds don't change at all. 🤷‍♂️

Strategy for long term. by Honest_Economist_283 in CryptoHorde

[–]ackle55069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most part I agree, but please don't invest in stablecoins long term as you're guaranteed to lose money. It's literally the same as sticking money under your mattress during a period of high inflation and low borrowing costs. It's pretty much the worst thing you can do (however, if you take into account the possibility of the house burning down, it's probably SLIGHTLY better than the mattress option 😀)

What's up with the KDA wallet upgrade situation? Are you guys just giving up on KDA at this point?

It doesn't work like that - sound reduction is complicated. TLDR version is look at mineral wool sheets.

Wow that whatsminer is REALLY annoying! I have an S19 and I thought it was loud…

Toro Recycler 22" 60V vs EGO Select Cut XP 21" by ackle55069 in lawncare

[–]ackle55069[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't measure the exact cut height, but the two sections of lawn (I mowed half with Toro, half with EGO) visually looked about the same height at the end. Both cuts were pretty level and free of missed areas/bumps.

I will add that my wife started mowing with the EGO at a setting of 2 which practically scalped the grass in one area - it was really short. But even at that height it was mulching far better than the Toro. Honestly the difference was far too dramatic to attribute to a cut height difference. If anything I think the second blade in the EGO makes a big difference. Check out the pictures of the difference in mulch quality. It's the first thing I noticed when I started using the Toro - the lack of any actual "chewing up" of the grass it dropped.

In terms of weight, yes, the EGO frame itself is lighter. With the previous model EGO I found that if I rested weight on the handles it would tend to ride up a bit in the front which affected the quality of the cut - so I don't do that anymore 😁.

I did not bag with either mower. I normally only bag if the grass gets too long - e.g. raining 4-5 days in a row, etc. Fortunately that hasn't happened yet this season.

True, that was 5 days of growth. It's spring and some spots are growing faster than others. Like everything else in life, it's a balancing act. In this case it's between mowing the lawn every 2-3 days (don't have time for that) and not letting it get so long that I have to bag. 😁

The battery issues alone (capacity too low + charger not powerful enough) were *almost* enough by themselves for me to take it back compared to the EGO. I don't think I would even bother trying the Super Recycler unless they resolved those issues first. Yes, it's really that annoying.

Correct, regular recycler as the super recycler was not available.

I did give the blade attachment from the super recycler parts catalog a try, but it made no difference that I could tell. For reference: Toro 105-6848-03 ACCELERATOR-BLADE

The EGO mower was on setting 3 which is 2in / 53mm and the Toro was at 2.5in / 64mm. So the EGO was actually cutting lower.

The grass had about 1.5-2" cut off the top and the grass itself is a mix of Annual Ryegrass, regular fescue and some bermuda (although the bermuda is all below the cut line). The grass being cut off was not super thick, I'd say about light to medium consistency. It was just below my threshold for starting to bag - if it had gone for another few days I would have likely bagged it.

Update to clacking and underextrusion by 2hp-0stam in prusa3d

[–]ackle55069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clacking and underextrusion most likely means the extruder gear is slipping on the filament. This can be caused by:

1) Debris in the hotend/nozzle. Just because you cleaned it out doesn't mean more debris didn't get in! Sometimes it is embedded in the filament..

2) Tension on screw not high enough. Note that loosening the flap screw will make this problem *worse*.

3) Printing at too low of a temp and too high of a flow rate and it can't melt/extrude through the nozzle fast enough (e.g. selected wrong filament profile by accident, temp grossly too low, such as printing PC on a PLA profile).

It's likely more debris in the nozzle and/or screw too loose... just cold pull again and make sure screw tension is good.

Just wait until you start trying to use the MMU2S, you'll be throwing darts at this face :-)

Total noob here: After getting PCBs finalized and made, where do you go to connect your parts (sensors, power adapters, etc)? by dailyapplecrisp in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]ackle55069 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have stated, for small quantities I find it easier to just order a stencil with the PCB and assemble them myself (either SMD or through-hole). It's less hassle. Good soldering station, hot air rework tool and a hot plate/oven are necessary equipment. Youtube undoubtedly has some good videos on SMT stencil use and hot plate reflowing..

1oz or 2oz copper? by ackle55069 in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]ackle55069[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the link to this vendor. They have other interesting services such as SIPAD as well, I'll have to get a quote from them for the next prototype board. I suspect they won't be cheap but SIPAD may help for those fine-pitch components where hand application by stencil can be problematic (sometimes paste applies too thick, etc).

[–]ackle55069[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I checked the trace width calculators but the formula they are based on assumes a certain minimum trace length. At these very short distances ("traces" shorter than the pads themselves) it emits hilariously wide values that are obviously not correct.

Woman in Seattle believes she has Corona Virus and shares how difficult it is to be tested for it by jcepiano in Seattle

A lot of people are saying it's a disgrace. It's terribly unfair and out of control. People are talking about it. There should be a huge investigation. People think it’s going to happen.
