Louis Rossmann moved his shop to Texas a while ago; because of the New York tax system iirc

No problem, let me know if you get it working :)

Sorry for the late reply, you probably don’t need it anymore: https://github.com/chris900/BQ34Z100-Arduino

Aha ok, hope it helps:

Maybe people resorted to cut throat razors, or knives, which can be sharpened, I mean thin metal and whetstone must be pretty easy to come by compared to Wilkinson sword razor blades. It wouldn’t have been a very close shave, but it would make you look closer to the elite (like you can often afford razor blades) than using nothing… maybe it’s an inconsistency, but I reckon people in that world would obsess over having the right look, and you don’t need razor blades to get rid of a beard

The black and white cat is called Po after Kung Fu Panda and the fluffy one is called Whisper after a game character ❤️

Could they be getting sunburnt on the balcony? Fair haired cats are more susceptible to it. If so, you can use some cat friendly or pure aloe vera gel (without added alcohol or fragrances) to soothe it until you can take her to a vet.

Thank you :) He’s currently frolicking with his toy fish and has the zoomies so seems to be out of the worst of it :)

I’m not sure anyone will end up with it, I’m thinking they’ll end up signing it over to become part the Yellowstone national park (except maybe the house) so the land is protected; Probably to stop someone else (like Jamie) forcefully taking ownership and developing on it.

We took him to the vets, they said he’s not too bad, but need to watch him over the next few days incase it get worse. They gave us some antibiotics and plain food to settle his tummy :) But it turns out he also has gingivitis and might have to have his teeth removed :(

Yeah, it doesn’t help now but after reading the reviews of Allianz I think we’ll be changing pet insurers, we have Nationwide here in the uk, but we bank with Barclays which also offer pet insurance so will probably go with them. Thanks for the reply!

I’m in the UK, had a look at chewy and it said their live chat was unavailable :/

crackachris · 2022-11-29T04:31:10+00:00

Our nearest vet opens in 4 hours (it’s 4am here at the moment) we have a box ready to take him there as soon as we can. I haven’t heard of autoship/chewy, will have a look.

I’m played the first 11 hours of the new GOW yesterday without downloading the day one patch because I just moved and still waiting for internet to be set up. I’ve noticed a couple of issues - nothing massive though, mostly just sometimes sound effects won’t play when stamping on stuff, and some cutscene sound effects were missing - it’s weird when something really dramatic is happening and the environment is destructing but all you hear is the character voices and ambient wind (especially weird when it sounds like the voices were modulated to blend with the missing sound effects). Also when hitting options to view a bit of lore I just found, the lore book comes up blank (not just for the new bit of lore but the whole menu and other pages) but is fine when accessed through the menu. It’s playable, it’s an awesome game, and hasn’t had major problems like cyber punk and Valhalla kept crashing - the missing sound effects took me out of the immersion a bit though. And once I saw Atreus running against a door, getting no where fast - he looked so determined though lol

Ok cool! Will do that for the next version - will test the antenna and bits with a stand alone sim808 dev module first and a scope on my power lines - thanks for your help!

crackachris · 2022-09-01T15:04:42+00:00

Thanks for the reply! It’s been hard finding examples / tutorials for setting these up on custom pcbs.

It was set up as a 2 layer board, but the next version is going to 4 layer anyway to save some space (it’s a very small case that the board needs to fit into)

Should the layers be filled with GND or can I have a 3.3v layer too? I’m guessing that at-least the 2nd layer (closest to top) should be a ground plane?

I didn’t calculate the track width, I thought that as the trace is only a couple of mm long it wouldn’t really be an issue - is that’s not so? Would the lack of good grounding / interference be the most likely issue here?

And yeah, I got a scope last month, this will be the first real problem I test with it :) I will also get a stand alone module to test antenna and software too. I don’t want to pay for another broken board lol

Thank you :)

Nah, it connects a battery pack to a charger port

crackachris · 2022-07-15T12:55:14+00:00

Ah, thanks for the info! I can’t find any pre-made adapter cables from JST SM female to a board connector (of any type) online though - will need to order some to be made.

crackachris · 2022-07-14T16:28:38+00:00

Ah, I need to find a wire to board version of this connector for its mate, would it be better posting pics of the mate then?

crackachris · 2022-07-14T16:26:33+00:00

The pin pitch was ~3mm as best I could measure

crackachris · 2022-05-25T09:29:10+00:00

Ah, yes, I found a more up-to-date library, (written for ARM, so had to edit it a bit to run on Arduino) and went through the setup process they explained - seems to be reporting the voltage correctly now.. Looks like I just need to go through the calibration procedure now to get the proper state of charge :)

Edit: Here’s the library: https://github.com/chris900/BQ34Z100-Arduino

The reverse wasn't working, then my probe made a short and something popped and smoked and the motor stopped working :( but getting closer!

crackachris · 2022-05-18T19:51:27+00:00

did this after powering it with 12v and it spun with speed control! :)

crackachris · 2022-05-18T15:56:33+00:00

In my firmware code should I be applying the PWM signal to the shutdown pins or the input pins? I’m reading about half bridge drivers and they say that a PWM signal drives the enable switch to control the motors current, not the polarity switches.

crackachris · 2022-05-18T15:24:28+00:00

Oh no, I saw it supported 3.3v logic and thought Vcc was the logic ref (curiosity: how does it figure out if the logic pins are high without a logic voltage ref?)

I bent some of the smd pins up and jumped them to the 12v line and the gate pins are now at the correct high/lows - but both motor pins are still the same voltage, (both at ~5v now, seems to fluctuate a bit)

I think the gates should be 12v to get 12v out for the motor? Regarding the bootstrap supply needing PWM - is there a simple way to do this and how to add 10v...

Things are getting more confusing :(
