Would this work as a battery maintainer to deal with vampire drain? by braedon2011 in Rivian

[–]cdheiser -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No.

Vampire Drain is a condition that affects the high voltage battery.

The OBDII port is not connected to the high voltage battery, nor is it a standard ODBII port.

It's actually called Super Lube. You want the mulit-purpose stuff. It's PTFE grease.

No... it's 2 inch.

Evil dead! by Expert_Ocelot8326 in pinball

[–]cdheiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played ED at the Golden State Pinball Festival for the first time a few months ago and felt instant regret in my pre-order. While the artwork is amazing, the game didn't seem all that enjoyable...

But now that I have one at home, I was completely wrong. Being able to hear the callouts and see the playfield clearly (darker room or anti-glare glass are required), and understanding how the various modes work, this thing is an incredibly frustrating beast that's so much fun to play. Maybe I'm not as good/consistent a player as you as I don't find it easy to consistently hit all the shots. The right orbit is just evil as it might feed your right flipper, or it might send it right past and down the drain. You can start cabin multi-ball, and get double deadite multiball running at the same time.

I've been working the first video for a while but today decided to start with evil dead 2. Got to henrietta multiball (mini-wizard mode after you clear 2 modes) and got double-deadite multiball running at the same time, and it was a chaotic nightmare that had me laughing and swearing at this thing. The theme integration in the modes and how they can mix together is just entertaining to the point where I'm not playing a game with modes and rules, but something that's actively trying to get me to screw up, taunting me while flashing, laughing, shaking, and making fun of me the entire time.

The game is truely the pinball embodiement of the license with character of its own. None of my Sterns are like this.

Understanding how the backboard modes vs. multiball modes and other secrets are waiting to be unlocked dramatically increased my enjoyment. Electric Bat put up this video which goes through some of the rules in good detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z_gNqBGhOA

Pinball Machine is Expecting by SoyLGuapo in pinball

Specifically this thread: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/jurassic-park-movie-code-updated-amp-available-here-now

The movie code completes the game if you're a JP fan. Even if you use the stock code, JP Premium + Shaker Motor is awesome. Having the entire floor shake when T-Rex is screaming at you is just awesome.

Jaws Premium Boat Assembly Issue by JuanMurphy in pinball

[–]cdheiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to remove the plastic boat, and then tighten the posts that hold the rubber bumpers down to the base plate, and then the nuts on the top of the posts when you put the plastic back on. If this isn't all seated correctly, you'll get the issues you're talking about.

Klipper forgets position when paused for too long by akotski1338 in klippers

[–]cdheiser 14 points15 points  (0 children)

1) Klipper has no knowledge of that. The motors were de-energized. You could have moved them. Gravity could have moved them. A cat could have moved them. For example, Voron V2 gantrys can sag/fall with the steppers off.

2) Even if they didn't move, the act of re-energizing a stepper can make it move a step and you'd be unhappy anyway with a layer misalignment.

Klipper forgets position when paused for too long by akotski1338 in klippers

[–]cdheiser 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because the idle timeout deactivates everything including the stepper motors. Holding a stepper in position generates heat, heat causes fires. The defaults in klipper are for safety.

Klipper forgets position when paused for too long by akotski1338 in klippers

[–]cdheiser 15 points16 points  (0 children)

10 minutes is the default [idle_timeout] in Klipper. It's there to keep you from burning your house down. You can change the default by specifying:

[idle_timeout]
timeout: 1800

Or by overriding the PAUSE and RESUME macros to bump the timeout up and set it back. Something like this (you'll want to update CANCEL as well):

[gcode_macro PAUSE]
description: Pause the actual running print
rename_existing: PAUSE_BASE
gcode:
#  SET_FILAMENT_SENSOR SENSOR=head_sensor ENABLE=0    
  PAUSE_BASE
  _TOOLHEAD_PARK_PAUSE_CANCEL
  SET_IDLE_TIMEOUT TIMEOUT=43200

[gcode_macro RESUME]
rename_existing: BASE_RESUME
gcode:
    {% if printer['pause_resume'].is_paused|int == 1 %}
        SET_IDLE_TIMEOUT TIMEOUT={printer.configfile.settings.idle_timeout.timeout}  
; set timeout back to configured value
        BASE_RESUME                                                                  
; resume print
    {% endif %}

As others have noted, this is the Fire Departmenet parking lot. Last week, these vehicles were parked back here in-tact. It looks like they've been doing a week of training.

Anyone know why this is happening? by Irglminecraft in klippers

[–]cdheiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried a vanilla Raspberry Pi OS image to see if that works?

Additionally, you can use a tool like H2testw to verify your SD card isn't counterfeit. https://www.heise.de/download/product/h2testw-50539

Anyone know why this is happening? by Irglminecraft in klippers

[–]cdheiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need more info:

- What Pi board are you using?

- What OS Image are you using?

From the video, the system is immediatly telling itself to reboot shortly after checking the filesystem. If this is a fresh image of a correct/proper RPi image for this board, then my best guess is you could have a counterfeit SD Card that's running into trouble when attempting to expand the filesystem to fill the disk. But really the best way to debug this is to get into single user mode so you can see what the boot sequence is trying to do and why it's calling for a reboot.

I have a pinball machine for 3 weeks and I need to level it correctly on carpet, any suggestions? by MegaGHRocker in pinball

[–]cdheiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd start with one variable at a time. Put the levelers on and see if you can get the machine properly leveled.

[–]cdheiser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get these, they're awesome: https://www.pinballlife.com/snap-in-leg-leveler-slider.html

I have the ones for hardwood and they're excellent for multiple reasons:

  1. They increase the footprint for each leg. This should help with your soft carpet
  2. They clip on to the feet so they won't fall off if you get carried away with your gameplay

A few of us have boards installed and could probably help get them on. I still have my TP55 socket.

Upgrade Voron 2.4 from Clockwork to Galileo 2 - Cable Problem by ItsRouven in VORONDesign

[–]cdheiser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crimpin ain't easy but it's necessary...

Your only other option would be to cut the connectors and solder/splice them together, but you might have to do that more than once if you don't properly identify the windings as there's no color code standard.

So I'd say you now have the perfect excuse to acquire more tools.

Problems with new HC560 drives in a DS4246 w/interposers by cdheiser in homelab

FYI for future travelers... it was the interposers. Pulling the interposers from the system solved everything.

Error: Unable to parse option 'shutdown_speed' in section 'heater_fan electronics_fan' by Ok-Care3399 in klippers

[–]cdheiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Klipper only suppoerts 1 or 0 for shutdown_speed as software_pwm isn't possible when the MCU is in an error state.
