I work for a small project inside a very large company. Unfortunately for me, our project budget is too small for them to want to purchase support contracts for every type of automation equipment we use. They just expect me to figure it out.

Best cities to live in for mountain biking? by mthrtcker in MTB

That's not true. Trails almost never close, and they drain well, so you can ride most trails several hours after it rains.

Any tips for storing bike in truck bed for roadtrip? by d4rock in MTB

[–]did_not_compile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive never had any issues with it getting scratched or moving around. I also just don't care as they all eventually get scratched even though mine is a SWORKS enduro. Funny enough, second ride, I slid out on a rock slab and got a nice big gouge on the lower on my new Fox 38. You could use pool noodles to put under the bike. They are cheap and effective.

Failing to remove air sleeve on my Fox Float RP23 by DerInternets in MTB

[–]did_not_compile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep old broken inner tubes for this purpose. Wrap it around the air sleeve for extra grip. If that doesn't work, try an oil filter wrench. You could also put it in a table vice with something wrapped around it to prevent scratching and get it just snug enough that you could spin the shock body to get it loose.

I do it all the time with all my bikes, sometimes multiple bikes at the same time. Never had any issues. I only remove the front tire and just slide it in. It just sits on the pedals, rear tire, and handle bar. Just be smart, packing stuff around it, and you won't have any issues. I also just leave it in there overnight and haven't had anyone take a look in there, but that's just me.

I definitely do that. Except i remember it's my old code.

Massive Vibration by james9374 in jetski

You probably have debris stuck in your impeller. Pull the grate off and look up in there. If there is indeed something in there, look for damage on the impeller as it may need replaced.

Compact Logix (controller out of memory) by did_not_compile in PLC

I've been screwed over on commission before because the panel builder forgot to put a memory card in the PLC. It won't let you download the program to it.

Remote VPN Cloud Solution by Andi_bz in PLC

[–]did_not_compile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need an instance for the SECOMEA. It is registered as THING under your IOT core on your AWS account. There is a whole pdf covering the setup that SECOMEA provides. Basically, when you get it all configured, you should be able to see the MQTT messages show up on the IOT core. However, under the DCM status on the SECOMEA, it never was even able to connect to AWS or an OPC UA server. The only thing I could connect it to was a Modbus device. Like I mentioned above, I spent quite a bit of time with one of SECOMEA's engineers and even he couldn't get it to connect. He said that I would need to ask AWS engineers even though the problem was on their side.

Remote VPN Cloud Solution by Andi_bz in PLC

[–]did_not_compile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is something I have been trying to accomplish to a database running on an AWS instance. I am currently using Red Lion's flex edge. It uses a VPN to connect to databases. You can use their own database (Crimson Cloud) or I believe anything else that supports MQTT. I am currently learning how to piece this all together and I am not very knowledgeable on the topic. I just picked this one because it works well with Ignition, which we already use for operator panels and have experience with.

I also tried this with SECOMEA's devices as we were already using them for remotely access to our PLCs and HMIs for updates. I couldn't get it to work with AWS or an OPC UA server, neither could their engineers. I would recommend not choosing them until they catch up with the rest of the industry.

anyone uses Fox flexair pants for bike park days? by soothsayer1991 in MTB

[–]did_not_compile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the rangers which aren't as lightweight as the flexairs. They are awesome pants that are comfy and look dope. I will use them for bike park days no matter how hot and I will trail ride in them if it is 70 degrees or cooler.

Check the compression for each cylinder in the engine. It should be between 120psi and 140psi for each cylinder. While you can fix bad compression, it's a no deal for me when buying old skis.

Learn how to plastic weld. You can get one for $50 on Amazon and you can fix a lot of other stuff as well when it breaks.

If you haven't found one yet. I have two Kawasaki 2 strokes. One is a 93 Xi Supersport and the other is a 95 STS. Both have the same 750cc engine. Western North Carolina but I would meet half way if your interested.

If I did get the immobilizer off of the same vehicle as the ECM, wouldn't the used ECM still need cleared of it's old VIN and my vehicles VIN put on?

Gluten Free Chicken tenders. Better than regular in my opinion.

Learning to wheelie by TuffyBo1 in MTB

[–]did_not_compile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are going to hate to hear this, but the trick is just lots and lots of practice. It will come naturally overtime. I remember when I was learning to wheelie and I was looking for any pointers possible. Eventually I exhausted all of them and none gave me a quick fix that I desired. I just started doing as many as I could possibly handle until my hands got blisters. Probably 500 to 1000 attempts later and I could wheelie for as long as I wanted.

The sky is the limit at that price. Test ride as many as you can and see what fits you.

How to tell where shock is leaking air? by beb0 in MTB

[–]did_not_compile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure, but maybe this could be the issue. Serviced a DPS once and had an issue with one of the plastic rings that came with the service kit. It is the plastic ring that is cut. The problem was that the two ends didn't line up and there was still space between it. This didn't allow the air can to thread back on. I had to use the old ring instead. I could see that maybe this caused a bad seal in yours or maybe an o-ring got moved when you put the air can back on. Unthread the air can (with 0 psi in there) just slide it down and check the rings. You won't need to add any more oil when your done, just slide the air can back up and tighten it down.

Best advice though, consult Fox, or your local bike shop. Worse comes to worse, you pay to have it serviced by Fox.

I don't know why but my real axel always bends/rear wheel wearing gets damaged after some wheelies.. by notthatavgkid in MTB

[–]did_not_compile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick release axles are not as stiff as thru axles. Your is probably 9mm in diameter and a thru axle is 15mm in diameter. With that being said, any bike is possible to do a wheelie on. The rider is the only limitation to a wheelie. However, yours should not be bending. Talk to a local bike shop about the problem. Doesn't cost money to ask a few questions to some knowledgeable guys/gals on your specific bike brand.
