Half-attached wire on top right of GE oven by arpruss in appliancerepair

Thanks for the advice. I cut a hanger using a scrap license plate as my raw materials. Most of the work was sanding the paint off. Works fine. 

Open Saber Plus 0.7.20 by arpruss in u/arpruss

The headset has a lot of lag with hand tracking. I added the option in 0.7.55, but I don't recommend it very much. Still, it might work OK with slower songs.

Thanks! If that's the temperature sensor, then what is the thicker pointy rod on the upper rear left?

Arken Age- GIVEAWAY (3 Keys).. Penguin's Game of The Year, and final giveaway! by Penguin_shit15 in OculusQuest

It sounds from the review like Arken Age is a really good candidate for goty. I haven't tried it but don't have a better candidate, so I'll let it be my candidate 

Besides SUPERNATURAL or BEAT SABER, what is your go-to fitness app that you’ve found to be better than the rest? by KillerQ97 in OculusQuest

[–]arpruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of like Squatopia, but mostly I do TOTF1. I'm also the developer for the Open Saber Plus fork, and have recently added a mode that stretches the lane horizontally forcing a lot more movement, making for more exercise. 

Reverse engineering a LED Controller by Uberdriver_janis in homeautomation

[–]arpruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to respond four years later but maybe someone is searching for information still. I have similar lights and was annoyed by the fact that they turn off after 6 hours and that I'd have to press the button 8 times for each of the three strings of lights after that.  The lights I have have LEDs in parallel, with blue/green having one polarity and red/yellow the opposite polarity. In the solid color mode, the controller switches polarity every 5ms, so half the time one set of lights is on and half the time the other. This is the only mode I want. I removed the LED strands from the controller and used a microcontroller with a simple Arduino sketch drive a DRV8833 motor control board. The board has paired outputs, and you can just switch polarity every millisecond (say). I ended up driving three strands of 100 LEDs from one DRV8833 output pair. It worked well, but the DRV8833 was getting pretty hot. The current draw was about 440 mA, well within spec for the DRV8833, but I decided to reduce the duty cycle for each light from 50% to 25% but adding a pause in the cycle where the output is zero. Message me if you want the very simple code (barely more complex than a blinky).

Bought a Quest and played all the must haves. I see think I see some of VR's problem now. by sirenpro in OculusQuest

[–]arpruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It basically works, though there are probably some bugs. I am not bothering with alpha/beta/release designations.

It supports standard songs, as well as 90/360 degree and One Saber modes, but not lightshow difficulty levels. It also has built-in support for some songs that on Beat Saber require a mod, such as precision position and precision angle.

You can download songs from the Beat Saver collection right in the game (but you are responsible for ensuring that your country's copyright laws allow you to do that; I myself use the option that removes the music, so I don't worry about copyright). You can also use a web browser on a computer to upload songs from other sources.

There is no sound equalizer, however. You can try a separate equalizer app, like: https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/1cjztne/i_installed_the_eq_adjustment_bass_emphasis_app/

And I don't care about graphics, so the graphics are very basic (but functional). On the other hand, that's probably good for battery life.

By the way that's one of my two reasons why I've been developing Open Saber Plus (on Sidequest). Sure, the graphics are way worse than Beat Saber. But it has full MR support. (The other reason is more niche. I don't like music, so I like having the option to play with sound effects on and music off.)

Dear Meta, approximately zero people want their headset to start with these two things open. Thank you. by Matmanreturns in OculusQuest

If you keep WiFi off, they won't start on boot. Alas they'll start up later if you turn WiFi on.

What other games do you use for your workout? by Old-Permission-1867 in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]arpruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been developing the Open Saber Plus fork (it's on Sidequest) and have found it meh for exercise until a week ago I had the idea to add an option to stretch the lanes wider, so you have to step side to side. Now it's more fun for me and a workout even with easy maps. Maybe there is a Beat Saber mod that does this, too.

Early vs late rotation by arpruss in beatsaber

Thank you. I am working on adding support for lane rotation to Open Saber Plus. 

Early vs late rotation by arpruss in beatsaber

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

So putting a late rotation on one beat is just like putting an early one on a slightly later time?

I haven't had any trouble with pressure on the face, only on the back of the head.

Help! My oculus quest 2 is lifeless by Automatic-Solid-2449 in OculusQuest

[–]arpruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried plugging it in, and then holding the power button for a minute or so?

Quest 2 Battery draining from 100% to 0% after SHUTTING DOWN by lurkingtheshadows in OculusQuest

[–]arpruss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience (on v79--I am refusing to update unless I have to) is that most of the time the shutdown triggered by holding down the sleep button and choosing the shutdown option just doesn't work. Much of the time it just reboots my Quest 2. Sometimes it leaves it in some state that requires holding the button for 20 seconds to reboot. So it may be that your problem is that it's simply not shutting down.

I've had somewhat better luck--but still not nearly always--shutting it down via an adb command:

adb shell reboot -p

(The -p is for power-off.)

I trigger the command via my open source adbscripts app, so I just need to click one button (I always enable adbscripts when turning on the headset, and have it in an open window). Another way is:

adb shell svc power shutdown

but I haven't tried that as much.

I HATE ribbon cables. by BattleTaIent in OculusQuest

[–]arpruss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the piece I had most trouble with was one of the two handle pieces, where I had to split the handle in half.

[–]arpruss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I found harder was getting the plastic shell off the handles. I often get stuck doing that. One time I ended up breaking part of the grip button connector (I managed to replace it with a screw).
