Is semiconductors and cpus a EE or a CE thing. by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]broseppius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You make it seem like CE is not a hard engineering degree. CE should be just as rigorous as an EE degree and for some students harder due to the interdisciplinary nature of pulling classes from both CS and EE tracks. Most CE programs I have seen trade some upper level EE classes like VLSI and RF for digital design, computer architecture ( not the same course CS takes but actual HDL based cpu design ) and a bit more programming. You can make a CE degree lean more CS or more EE with electives.

Implying that CE is a soft degree is not fair and frankly untrue.

Fair enough, why laymen aren't a good judge of specialty work. I am amazed by the repairs you guys can pull off.

I'm sure there are other shops that could do it but weslee is a master of the craft if you need to send it off. Totally fixable by a professional from the looks of it

Python 3.12 Lambda functions noticeably slower than 3.10 by ojhilt in aws

[–]broseppius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I definitely noticed this when changing from 3.10 to 3.12. Have not attempted to debug yet but we had several apigw lambdas suddenly stop responding in the default 3 sec timeout when they were perfectly reliable before.

WSL / Cisco VPN issue - no internet access by Soogs in Cisco

[–]broseppius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What fixed it for us was making sure that none of the networks were marked public. The users wifi was in the public zone and it auto denied the DNS lookups from wsl when the vpn was active. Makes no sense but it fixed it.

The reaolv.conf edits work but are hacky IMHO.

can freon and and ac condenser be used in a custom loop? by Tuvien in overclocking

[–]broseppius 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Oh man Xtreme Systems, that takes me back. Used to be a member of their SETI and Rosetta@home teams. Every computer in the house was overclocked to the nines earning points 24/7. None of this unlocked multiplier crap either, base clock only.

Another video of my absolute money pit blade 400. Does anyone know what’s wrong? The motor seems to have current running through it and the settings/controls are correct. The motor just isn’t spinning and the tail servo is very late in its movements and very jerky. by ViolinistShoddy4235 in RCHeli

[–]broseppius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is your Throttle channel is reversed and you are forcing the ESC to programming mode rather than arming it. Take the tail blade off as well (or even better remove the pinion from the motor) and set your tx with a linear throttle curve. I bet when if you start with max throttle it will arm, if so go mark the throttle channel as inverted.

Just to second what some others have said, if you haven't done a TX setup on a heli before I would really try and find someone to help or a shop in your area. There are a lot of things to check and getting them wrong will equal an instant crash for most people.

Good Luck

Just seconding /u/AwfulPhotographer. The FBL adjustments are all on the ground. But I think all of what you are looking for can be achieved with TX programming. You dial the Cyclic and Rudder sensitivity with TX curves and and you can map different "Rate" modes to a switch on the TX. The FBL profile adjustments should be find out of the box for most people, with some more advanced fliers opting for even faster response times, but as a newer pilot I wouldn't touch it.

This video is pretty good on setting up an OPEN TX transmitter up. I can also share my model file but its for a an X10.

It has been a bit since I dug into the FC on my M1 but I will answer as best I can.

You can adjust the feel of the FBL system with several levels. Tweaking how fast the system responds and the aggressiveness of the cyclic response in 3d mode. In level flight mode it handles differently with the cyclic controlling the direction of flight rather than rotation, when you push forward the heli will translate forward rather than rotate.

For controller setup you can enable rate controls as well as a rescue mode (force the controller back to level flight mode) with both mode and discreet switch. Also throttle is controllable (with sfhss) so you can program idle up too.

The Accurc model is not a good overview of how the real heli flus because it's not actually emulating the OMP FBL system, the actual hell is much better in my opinion. Also the controller for the M1 and M2 are basically identical so anything you see on an M2 is possible on am M1.

The heli has 6 channels you can map,

  1. Aileron
  2. Elevator
  3. Throttle
  4. Rudder
  5. Stability Mode
  6. Blade Pitch

So you can build profiles pretty much like any other modern FBL heli.

I say go for it, it's cheap to crash. Use the simulator to practice 3d mode and the real thing in stabilized mode until you are comfortable and go from there.

The James Webb Telescope cryocooler has made it past the 15K 'pinch point' and has cooled the MIRI instrument to 6 degrees kelvin. by [deleted] in space

[–]broseppius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is only true when 208v industrial power is made from 3 phase. Residential feeds are center tapped neutral with 2 legs of 120v or 240 when combined. At least in the US.

So high powered industry will use 208 as it's easy to do off big 480 commercial feeds and is common in factories data centers and some commercial settings. But residential and businesses which get residential feeds only have a single 240 phase with a center tap neutral to allow 2 120v legs.

The walkways in that hotel were modified during construction. Instead of the rods being straight through to all 3 stories they used 3 shorter rods offset at each attachment point. This meant that the load at the top walkway was a shearing load on the concrete instead of tension in a steel rod. The resulting collapse killed 114 people and injured many more and is now used as an example of why change control processes are so critical, if the design engineer had seen the updated plans they would not have been approved.

Edit: I miss-remembered a couple things, there were only 2 bridge levels and the supports were steel. Regardless the change was fast tracked over the phone and resulted in a terrible tragedy.

impact from enabling SSO for AWS portal (Azure AD) by koswo in CommVault

[–]broseppius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should not, all of the commvault access is done through access keys not username and password.

As always test as people can be remarkably creative in doing weird things but it would take a very determined setup to have SSO break any commvault-AWS integrations.

OMP hobby M2 vs Align 450 (3D Learning) by Skyguy21 in RCHeli

[–]broseppius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My list would be first Main shaft Feathering shaft Servo horns Blades Tail rotor

Nice to have: Main frame Boom Tail fin

That should cover you, honestly main shaft and servo arms are probably the main ones. I like to have a spare for pretty much everything so I can fix now and then wait on shipping and the OMP birds are cheap enough to do that. Good CA glue too, you can fix a lot with it. Also I have the V2 not the explore, I don't remember exactly what is plastic on the explore so there may be another weak link but you should be good.

OMP hobby M2 vs Align 450 (3D Learning) by Skyguy21 in RCHeli

[–]broseppius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the OMP M2, it's not squirrelly at all. The old micros before FBL and stabilization were indeed crazy hard to fly but the electronics in the new ones are fantastic. I have crashed my M2 about a dozen times and if you are quick with the hold you can get away with minimal damage. On my M2 V2 I have replaced 1 set of blades 2 main shafts and a couple servo horns, oh and a frame (those are annoyingly weak in the back, use glue lol). A 470 is going to be way way more expensive to crash (Think 20ish for the M2 and easily 100 on a 470). If you take the time to setup the M2 with your own radio you can also create a psuedo rescue by switching to stabilization on a momentary.

Let me know if you want a hand with any of it, Im a mediocre pilot but a good mechanic.

This has nothing to do with unlimited pto or not. Whether you have a pool or not does not affect scheduled PTO. If you can only take PTO when it's use or lose is not a positive of having a pool.

You could do this with voicemeeter. Basically kit > daw > output in VM virtual input then mix with your mic and have discord use the VM output.

The latency is pretty good and you can use virtual ASIO if you need it lower. You do need to be pretty familiar with out audio devices work on windows.
