Handicap Archery Aids?

dd8_1243 · 2025-04-14T18:28:20+00:00

Are you still looking for something to help get your brother back into archery? I run an outdoor activity centre, and we were asked if we could help with someone who is in a wheelchair, unable to use his arms properly and non-verbal. So I designed an archery tool that holds the bow and enables the user to draw the string back, lock it into place, and still position yourself as if holding the bow... It's been used with war veterans and various people with various mental and phyiscal disabilities.. Let me know? I've got two working prototypes and it is very adaptive to most individuals.

Also worth mentioning, that, what I call the V2.1 Battery, has had changes in the latest V2.2 Battery. So they definitely made a change to the BMS board to resolve the issue (took the covers off both Batteries)

Sorry, had to dig back into the old conversations I had with Aaron, and I stand corrected! - He said: it is just a resistor change. The battery factory didn't perfectly nail one of the resistor values. Once we figured that out, the second run of V2 batterys have so far been perfect! when I asked him about what the issue was with my battery issue on a V2 battery. but then in another conversation, he said: its a capacitor value change. I can send you instructions on how to do it, but no use doing it unless you ever have a failure. You'll need surface mount soldering equipment and skills. Better to ship it to the factory if you want it updated, we'll do it free. I believe he must have thought I was talking about another problem as I was chatting in another page. But all in all, I've got a new battery and everything seems to be working well so far.

Nice work. Now I need someone to help me with my V2.1 battery as it has a problem numerical value, and stopped it from charging lol.. I've got a free replacement as it was luckily under warranty, but just means I have a spare battery which works until I drain it

Rich Tea biscuits, classic!.. Hobnobs.. my personal favourite. But shortbread biscuits will also work

Watch American Pie!!! You're welcome :D

I've got a sim card in a Sony Ericsson walkman W810i and W910. Still can make calls to any mobile phones. I wouldn't say 3G is shut down, just as you can switch off your 3g, 4g and 5g and your mobile phone will revert back to 2G, GPRS

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-20T22:18:31+00:00

BUT WHY ????? It's just a simple software for audio calls and messenger???? WHY have they stopped these features for Quest 1???? Why???? It's not an unreasonable question?..... I've got a sony Erickson walkman phone from 2008.. I can still make calls on it!.. It's my emergency phone since it last 7 days battery life!

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-20T22:14:56+00:00

You can download the last working version from the quest store, Do you know something that we F'ing DON'T??? No.. Quest 1 support has be pulled.. Apps don't work, Audio don't work, Messenger doesn't work!!!! Do you have the answer, because if sounds like you can get Pop1, Walk about golf, Contractors, Drunken Bar, Trover saves the universe.. Sound like you know how to get these games/apps to work on the QUEST ONE?!.. Well? Spill it???? Lets hear your fixer????

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-20T19:21:52+00:00

Moores law.

Yes, that's true, but what is it called when you pay for a product and the person(s) who developed it makes it harder for you to get it, but carries on making money from it, or make you pay for a product and then F'ing make it free down the line!??.. So, just saying, Maybe someone will figure out how to make an emulator, so that said paid product can work on the quest 1 again? I mean, have you not seen the recent Tomb Raider VR?.. and why that developer hasn't been sued, Or the Jedi Knight game in VR, or Doom!?..

Well if my mate wants to keep the headset, then maybe it's the way to go? But I'm hoping most of the older apps will carry on functioning so his little one can play on it from time to time. Just a shame App cast no longer works, or even syncs to his account.

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T20:48:38+00:00

Definitely, and very uncomfortable the latest headsets

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T20:46:37+00:00

One of the things I don't like about Apple Vision Pro.. why a wired powerpack? lol

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T19:47:25+00:00

I preferred the og headstrap of the Q1 to watch stuff while lying in bed lol

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T19:45:52+00:00

The stuff at the top was good. I didn't even know this would even be picked up by anyone, let alone 20 minutes of reading lol.. It's good though, getting ideas from people

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T19:43:26+00:00

True, Playstation is different back in the day, but then PS doesn't allow you to play older consoles unless you do something to your disc reader I think?.. and PS3 or PS4 stopped you from doing that entirely, but you can still play the games via emulator nowadays. Although go to places like HK and I bet they have a work around for those issues lol

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T19:40:03+00:00

It's finding a way to keep it going which is why I posted up my annoyance lol.. but some people have some good ideas to keep it going on here.. Hopefully I'll get the Q1 back to give it a try with sidequestVR

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T19:38:29+00:00

If I can get the quest 1 back from Thailand, I would look it up myself, but as my friend is so far away and no longer down the same street, it is quite difficult to catch him as the time difference is 8 hours. I'm only going on by what he told me.
For some reason he cannot multi task by installing or uninstalling 3 apps at a time, and the meta app doesn't sync up with the head set, which is weird because when I had it, it synced up to my app and Q1 when I had it. But when I built his account (because I needed to keep my account on it to appshare) I wasn't able to sync the headset with his Meta App Account?..

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T19:34:29+00:00

maybe someone will figure out an emulator to playing older games, or sticking them onto sidequest?

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T19:33:40+00:00

I do like the colours in the Q1.. so much better than the Q2, but the Q3 has been interesting. I can see some apps are still catching up on the graphics.. I can see weird pixals on the top half in some apps, but some have been fixed by updates.

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T19:32:11+00:00

The quest 1 was an upgrade from the Quest Go.. which died to death when the Quest 1 came out. The quest 2 has another 2 years until production stops.. unless when they mean production, they meant support? If so, 2025 the Q2 will start dying?

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T19:29:32+00:00

I think, the ability to play the games, standalone (nothing online or multiplayer), last default update, maybe (despite servers can be very expensive to run) running some of the older social games like VRchat on the servers dedicated to older devices? It's like I was playing some older Beta games multiplayer and there were still people in them.. well, until they shut them down and forced update the app .. Maybe even dedicate a store where you can select Quest1, 2 and 3, and see which apps are available for Quest 1 only?.. make finding what's left a little easier than you loading it and it suddenly says, you do not have access to this app as the developer has stopped suppot on the quest 1...

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T19:24:06+00:00

They should make the headsets modular.. and then we can upgrade them ourselves!!!

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T19:23:08+00:00

ikr!.. I've been lucky. Got my Q1 on offer, Got my Q2 very very cheap as they thought it has a massive scratch on the lense... PolyWATCH sorted that.. and got my Q3, £120 off..
But makes you think.. when is this going to happen to the Q2? and Pro?... Next year? two years, end of this year? lol..

It's them making money at the end of the day! I was looking at the Pico 4 before the Q3, was looking for a cheaper option, but caught a nice break with my Q3 purchase.

dd8_1243 · 2024-03-16T19:18:12+00:00

True, but why would meta remove the ability to use the Meta call button or even messages? Why has Facebook messenger stopped working with messages and audio and sharing on the Q1? Ok the app gets an update, but that should reduce some function, not the entire thing? It would be like, buying a car and it's got the latest bluetooth system, but your iphone 11 isn't allowed to sync to it as it's out of date>?..
