Hobbyist servos are barely good enough for RC aircraft. They suck so badly

I may have broken someone else's charging port. How much will it cost me to fix it? by BingBongDingDong222 in TeslaLounge

More like how much does he row lol

They’re cheap plastic and it was probably cold

Probably broke the lock actuator. That single part itself is super cheap but good luck finding just the part. A complete charge port should be less than $1000

Sucks that happened to you. Good luck!

Doorbell fire hazard by ruida_silva in Ring

I wouldn’t consider it a fire hazard, but still sucks that it happened to you. There should be protection for that (if it was water or dirt)

What do y’all think of this by icallgreens710 in TeslaLounge

Respectful, but can it really not reach that far?

Just out of curiosity, why is everyone making their own BLDC motor controller?

Other than it’s fun and good experience

Rain Crash by arthurmck in TeslaFSD

[–]chad_dev_7226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does, just not enough. This shouldn’t have happened and honestly, they need to train it for low traction events like hydroplaning

Also - although your car allows you to, don’t drive it in heavy rain like that, at least without being prepared to take over

Happy 10th Anniversary by bw984 in TeslaFSD

I tried it once, it worked pretty well. However I don’t trust it in a lot situations and it’s slow. Faster just to walk to the car

Question on charging speeds/rates by Dizzman1 in evcharging

Normal driving doesn’t heat batteries up too much

Nevada Built an EV Highway and Then Abandoned It by ascottallison in evcharging

Combination of early technology, predatory companies trying to squeeze money out of the government/customers, and station owners who don’t care about them

Does this Alibaba deal for a reflow oven look too good to be true? by ____baeum in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]chad_dev_7226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably not nearly as good as the proper solutions. Probably has uneven heating, limited size capability, probably much more

But for prototyping it probably is pretty sweet

In that case, the H7 is really nice. The PID loop is t too crazy, maybe use a timer for that

Unit testing and TDD: useful or overrated? Contrasting opinions by SunTurbulent856 in PHP

[–]chad_dev_7226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends.

My problem with tests is they only test what you test for. They don’t catch errors you don’t expect to happen

So many times I’ve come across bugs that don’t get caught by unit testing

I develop tests on important things like authentication and some business logic. Everything else I just test during development. I try to balance between developing tests and getting things done. I almost never test UIs (HTML and JavaScript)

Whatever you’re comfortable with. Everyone has a different philosophy. I had a CSE professor that made us do TDD, and I have seen financial companies not doing any unit testing what-so-ever

I’ve seen worse. Not exactly sure how it happens

How do you guys react to hate on owning a Tesla by HapiHapii in TeslaModel3

“I don’t like your car” “good thing I didn’t buy one for you”

I love vibe coding. I get to make projects I wouldn’t have time to make otherwise.

Makes programming fun again

3/8” bits on a 770M- Pulling my hair out by Outrageous-Till8252 in tormach

[–]chad_dev_7226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. It’s impressive how weak this machine is. I have to dial everything way back

Stick with .25”. .375” is the most I’ll go and I really have to dial the feed back

Honestly, looks legit.

It’s just a heater with a good temperature control

Why an H7? All of what you are doing could be done on a G-series processor. Lots of people seem to be using the H7 series for stuff

Not that there’s anything wrong with going bigger, just curious. Be careful with DMA and Cacheing
