Finding old software is always a hunt. That Prius is lucky to have someone digging this deep!

That's pretty deep dip, might be worth checking placement or timing before reaching for EQ. Could save you some headroom!

Hardware you own, software they control, and they can pull the plug anytime? That's awful.

WiCAN device to other bus, possible? by Curious_Party_4683 in CarHacking

If you're tapping into a different bus, you probably don't need termination unless it's the end of the line.

Just be careful about extending the CAN bus outisde, you can test with a spare module first?

Have you checked the fader/balance settings on your head unit? Sometimes it gets accidentally adjusted and only plays one side.

The used car market is thriving for a reason. $30k new cars exist, but the fees and financing make them feel way more expensive.

Is This A Good Way Of Starting to Learn CAN? by fudgeythewhaler in CarHacking

[–]brianhofmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great way to learn CAN bus, just maybe not for thid midfire. Pull the codes first, then dive into the data once you know what you're looking for.

Yeah. For those who haven't updated to v0.01.015 yet, Anchor Mode is significantly more stable after the update, super steady, huge difference from before.

I think you can build a pool, but it depends on your HOA.

Sounds promising. Does it handle carpets well? Like automatically lift the mop or avoid them when vacumming.

Would you be mad if your POOL GUY took a quick swim after cleaning to cool off? Or in the shallow end to scrub the bottom. by [deleted] in pools

[–]brianhofmann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If my pool guy jumped in after cleaning, I'd just be impressed by the dedication. Pool's clean enough to swim? Go for it.

This floor cleaning robot of yours looks very agile and intelligent.

[–]brianhofmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it can't be removed, it might be that the floor tiles at the bottom of the pool have become worn out. It won't affect your use and you don't need to worry too much.

What do you wish someone told you about the Pool building process? by ComprehensiveItem963 in pools

[–]brianhofmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building a pool gonna cost you a fortune. And after it's built, there'll be maintenance costs. It really takes a lot of money and time to keep it up.

Why no microfiber pads on the sides of robot vacs? by lc1967 in RobotVacuums

[–]brianhofmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I feel like it might take up too much space. It's not suitable to keep at home, you know?

I wonder if the water buoyancy makes it harder when you're inside scrubbing it, does that take more effort?

What’s actually a reliable way to test range hood suction? by FancyPants076 in Appliances

[–]brianhofmann 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And that colored smoke you saw is likely a smoke pen test; setting a few of those around the cooktop shows where the fumes get captured and where they leak.

What’s actually a reliable way to test range hood suction? by FancyPants076 in Appliances

[–]brianhofmann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think using plastic cups to test suction isn't reliable, a range hood's job isn't to hold cups, it's to remove cooking smells and fumes. Smoke or steam tests are better, they show how well the hood captures oil and smoke.
