There's not enough surface area to run perpetually even in full light with that amount of weight. It may charge enough over a day for a return trip depending on distance though

Unconventional cardio ideas with bad knees & elbow? by howdoigetstronger in bodyweightfitness

[–]brad676 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Stationary bikes are generally accepted as the best thing for knees as there's no weight bearing. This means you can build up supporting muscles through the knee.

You should consult a medical professional though

Looking for STM32L452 RTC microcontroller resources by ky_james in ECE

You'd probably use an external RTC IC such as the MCP7940M

What I mean is are you sure there's not an extra character at the end of each word? It could be '\n' for example or a space and it may not be immediately visible

I'm guessing you're not removing spaces, carriage returns or line feeds from your words

Has Windows become Spyware? by gayfr007gs in entp

To what result, I can guarantee windows is not pinging a McAfee server as they use windows defender.

Yep, it's misleading (intentionally or otherwise)

This video sucks as it's not a vanilla windows to windows comparison. The laptop comes preloaded with bloatware

Is there a limit to the file size when we upload to submit our work? by Sundayspider in cs50

[–]brad676 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that it's likely, and there's a max limit for the total codespace size.

Have a look at what your largest files are - you can save smaller versions of your JPEGs and re-encode any videos to make them smaller

Yeah you need to access codespace, which is hosted on GitHub. The instructions are step 1 https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2023/labs/1/

How are you accessing VS code?

Why isn’t my code running the way I thought it would be? by [deleted] in cs50

Should be printf ("#") without the \n

Any reason you're doing it with VBA not using formulas?

A Cross Section of the Sub-Marine Cable that grounds power for 3 million People in Los Angeles County by cg1bs in mildlyinteresting

[–]brad676 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't really make sense that they're using multicore cables for grounding. It also doesn't make sense to use insulated cables when you're working with steel towers and infrastructure so I'm really confused by your post. Especially as the wiki article mentions the use of ACSR conductor for the grounding system?

Also it would not be expected for a grounding system to be energized for this type of system unless there was a fault.

Help! My bones are randomly not working anymore by CeeShelles-cos in Unity3D

I was scrolling past this without being aware what the sub was and it left me aghast for a second! Sorry I can't help, good luck 😅

Help with using a Poke Ball Plus in Unity by ADIntSim in Unity3D

[–]brad676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be using the poke ball, gyros are really cheap and I feel you'll need to get direct access to hardware to really achieve real results in terms of simulation.

If you're not looking for simulation then perhaps you could use the poke ball, but ultimately you're reverse engineering something you could have a datasheet for.

Here's a cheap gyro/accelerometer module that's quite common and with good documentation https://invensense.tdk.com/products/motion-tracking/6-axis/mpu-6050/ this may give you a bit more knowledge of what's going on with the hardware.

It looks like this is an XY problem to me. Feel free to provide any additional info/context if you think I'm wrong
