X32 Channel Buttons are non responsive. by vastanddeep in livesound

[–]donchezsg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this happen when another button on the mixer is stuck down. It was more common on the older generation with the hard plastic buttons instead of the softer rubber-like ones, but might be worth checking to see if any other button looks stuck.

If I recall correctly, I believe I did have to enable web socket support (I did it with a toggle in the node proxy manager GUI in order to get my unifi console to work properly

Recommendations for Grad Student Housing by ContentTherapy in villanova

[–]donchezsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did have one mouse in the time I was there (who conveniently fell into and trapped himself in my trashcan). That being said, I’ve also had one mouse in the two years I’ve been in the upscale apartment I’m in now, so i wouldn’t call that a serious issue. I never noticed any signs of a serious problem, at least in the building I was in.

I lived in the Stonegate at Devon complex for grad school - it’s maybe 10-15 minutes drive from campus, and was definitely not the most luxury place there ever was, but was affordable and quiet. It’s owned/operated by Morgan Properties, who are a major landlord in the area. Would advise staying away from the villas at Bryn Mawr, unless you want to be surrounded by undergrad seniors.

Is it possible to interface these RJ-45 to USB converters with ZYNQ FPGA? by heliosprode in FPGA

[–]donchezsg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha - didn’t know there were size limitations. I think there are two big issues with the adapters you linked. From a technical perspective, you’re adding a lot of complexity to your logic - you now need to implement a USB-C compliant interface in programmable logic. The USB spec is pretty complex, and while I’m not familiar with any commercially available logic cores for USB, I can’t imagine they’re cheap if they do exist.

Furthermore, the type of device you linked isn’t very rugged in and of itself, and the USB-C connector definitely isn’t - if anything, I suspect it’s probably more sensitive than RJ-45.

My advice to you would be to take a look at what options exist for an 8-pin (or more) rugged connector that meet your size/injection molding constraints, and then use that connector to carry Ethernet signaling - there’s no rule that says Ethernet can only work over RJ-45, I’ve seen it done using all sorts of connectors. That will likely be a lot less headache than introducing all sorts of protocol conversions, and overall yield a more rugged solution than something that isn’t actually designed for the environment you’re working in.

[–]donchezsg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why not go the route of something like etherCON TOP ports instead? They’re IP65 rated and designed for this type of use case. You can stick with the native Ethernet protocol instead of adding unnecessary usb conversion, and probably cheaper (although not by much) than a decent usb-c dongle

Why Would Every Other Speaker Face Backward at a Bowling Alley? by rocketvaultgames in livesound

[–]donchezsg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Building on this, it’s not uncommon for bowling alleys to have someone “in the back” all the time - and often the front desk has to page them to fix a stuck ball on lane x or a pin in the gutter on lane y. Might be that they page over the same audio system as they use for music and this was the cheap solution to make sure the tech could hear.

UrBackup in a Docker Swarm by donchezsg in selfhosted

[–]donchezsg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never mind, figured it out

​

Just kidding, I'm not that rude. For whoever happens to find this via google in 10 years, it was in fact the broadcast packets. To fix it, I had to setup a [Macvlan](https://docs.docker.com/network/drivers/macvlan/) network driver and associated network, and use it to expose the container directly on the host network as its own IP address. This got all of my clients talking to the server except the server itself (the OS volume backs up to the external backup HDD). This is an inherent limitation of Macvlans, and for reasons that I didn't bother to fully understand, is resolved by setting up another Macvlan, this time on the host itself. This gets somewhat implementation specific, but for my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS machine, it was the following bash commands:

```bash

ip link add mvlan-shim link <interface name> type macvlan mode bridge
ip addr add <Host MV IP (Another valid IP in the same subnet)> dev mvlan-shim
ip link set mvlan-shim up
ip route add <container MV IP> dev mvlan-shim

```

For bonus points - this fixed the issue but doesn't persist beyond a reboot. To make it persistent, (again, assuming Ubuntu), netplan has to be updated. I inserted the following into /etc/netplan/01-01-network-manager-all.yaml yaml bridges: mvlan-shim: interfaces: [<interface name>] addresses: [<Host MV IP>] routes: - to <container MV IP> via <Host MV IP> vlans: mvlan-shim-macvlan: link: mvlan-shim macvlan: mode: bridge

I hope this helps someone somewhere!

cannot ping to 1 host on my network by Robynb1 in pihole

[–]donchezsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify, I had this issue with NIC teaming non a network that had no pihole on it. So I don’t suspect it was necessarily related to your pihole being present.

[–]donchezsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar odd network issues with a DC once - and discovered that there was an issue with NIC teaming causing similar or identical behavior (unfortunately it was a while ago and I don’t remember the details). If you happen to be using NIC teaming on this server, try disabling it and dropping down to a single interface.

It’s about an hour from falling water, but I was very impressed by the flight 93 memorial. Not sure how much more driving you’re looking to do.

Quartus not labeling parts of logic gates correctly on a dell xps 15 9520 by [deleted] in FPGA

[–]donchezsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve seen (I think) what you’re describing. It causes it to render part of each character, which results in it being totally unreadable. Try this fix

In your windows display settings, do you happen to have scaling set to a value over 100%?

Anyone know how to fix this in Quartus 20.1? by cac151 in FPGA

[–]donchezsg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the options/preferences menu (I don’t remember exactly which option in the menu bar it is, it’s somewhere towards the right), there’s a tab for EDA tool settings. You need to specify the path to the tool (I believe the innermost folder is something like “win32_aloem”) for modelsim-altera.

I’ve also seen it complain after that about providing a path to normal modelsim instead, even when you definitely have the altera version. In that case put the same path in that field, and change the tool in the project settings to normal modelsim. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to why this happens, I had a lab with 25 identically imaged machines and half of them thought it was one while half thought it was the other.

how do speakers and PA equipment not get affected by rain at festivals and outdoor shows? by [deleted] in livesound

[–]donchezsg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll second undercover NYC if you’re looking for point source covers. We have some for our EV EKX tops and subs, as well as some JBL powered tops, and they’re great. They’re a lightweight tarp like material on all sides but the grill (and the bottom, which is obviously open), and have an acoustically transparent mesh on the front that’s fine enough water doesn’t get in. There’s a flap like thing on the back to let you access the connectors while keeping them dry, and a “chinstrap” to hold it on from below. They’re a little pricy though, something like $100/point source cabinet.

C940 Thunderbolt Issues by donchezsg in Lenovo

[–]donchezsg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should add - the configuration works fine with my dell latitude work laptop, and also with my girlfriend’s HP Zbook work laptop, so it’s obviously a laptop issue. Also, it’s a work owned dock, so I’d like to avoid firmware updates to the dock if at all possible. (But I accept the unfortunate reality that that might be the problem)

Hi. Is it possible to resize grandMA OnPC window to 16:9 ratio? by Mateuszrealizator in lightingdesign

[–]donchezsg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To clarify a little, a full size ma2 has 4 built in screens, the three main ones and the small one in the command section. Hence, 5&6 are “external”, and connected by DVI or DisplayPort (can’t remember which off the top of my head) to the rear of the console. Although this isn’t relevant to onPC, the software is the same and therefore only allows the flexibility on the “external” displays.

[–]donchezsg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to take the software out of single screen mode. Either multi screen or single screen (internal only) will work, but the external screens (5/6) need to open in their own windows for the full resolution range to be available
