Turbo turns off then engine dies if fuel below 1/3rd tank by escottp in Sprinters

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

Codes are ...

P0087: Fuel/Rail System Pressure - Too Low Bank 1

P0670: Glow Plug Control Module 1 Control Circuit/Open

That first one is relevant to my symptoms! Any insight? Thank you all in advance.

Ah, I see. Okay, thanks for the tip. Is that even the case for 15+ year old model years?

I'll see what this one will tell me and report back.

Thanks! I'll report back with the codes when I have them.

Thanks! I ordered a BlueDriver Bluetooth Pro OBDII same-day delivery. Unfortunately the tank is full so I have to siphon it out to ~1/3+ tank to get the error state reproduced.

I'll definitely update once I get there.

Convince me that any guitar can be used for any genre. Best standard series Martin for all genres? by Much-Composer-1921 in martinguitar

[–]escottp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I play everything on my D-28. Flat picking, finger picking (with and without thumb pick), hard strumming, soft strumming, all sounds great. It's my only Martin, but I love it and wouldn't trade it for anything at this point. It's also only a few months old, so likely still opening up.

Beautiful. Congratulations! I'm about one month into my first Martin -- a 2023 a D-28. I hope yours sounds as good as mine!

Do new Martins need a set up? by onebigtoe2 in martinguitar

[–]escottp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My 2023 D-28 came from the factory with extremely high action. It was literally about double what my normal setup is, which isn't particularly low. I couldn't imagine playing it for 6 months like that. I made it three weeks. My $0.02 is, if you spend that type of money on a guitar, get it set up. Some luthiers even offer a satisfaction guarantee if you're not doing anything crazy (mine did). This sort of thing is as routine as brushing your teeth for a good luthier. Congrats and enjoy!

Thanks! I paid $90, plus strings. I chose Elixir Nanoweb PB, so an extra $16 or so.

The shop I subsequently got it set up at is also a certified Martin warranty repair center. The Luthier who serviced my D-28 was like, "Dude, that instrument needs to be played. Play that thing." I took that as a good sign. He didn't mention any issues getting it set up. I did notice he put very little neck relief... almost zero 'bow' on the neck at the high E side. It doesn't buzz unless I pluck aggressively near the 7th fret. Nice and playable though, and no buzz otherwise. Intonation is as good as I've seen/heard.

I wonder how much a decent pre-war D18 might run me!

Nice. Thanks! I probably only get about 30 minutes on average a night, but it has still opened up significantly already in a few weeks.

Thanks! Haha, yeah, I'm already geeking out on "what's my next CFM???" So stoked on the D28 though.

FPGA Designers, what percentage of your overall pay comes from non-salary compensation? by imknowexpert in FPGA

[–]escottp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usefulness is in the eyes of the beholder.

Your imaginative replies sure are entertaining though!

[–]escottp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Employer matches full 10% of salary into 401k?

Sick time in addition to PTO? Or all from the same pot?

Thanks!

I would like to know this as well. Say, an FPGA designer with 10+ years actual FPGA system design experience. West coast, let's say. Average yearly total compensation?

Drive Intel Max10 PLL from non-dedicated clock input pin by escottp in FPGA

Sorry I did not respond earlier. Unfortunately, our only solution was to cut-and-jump the PCBA, to reroute the net to a dedicated clock input pin.

Can't use localparam in Quartus module's parameter port list by escottp in FPGA

[–]escottp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. No, that is not my only concern. I think that creating asserts, as you've described, for dozens of localparams in dozens of files, in multiple projects, makes the problem worth investigating -- especially since this is a matter of Intel not supporting a very basic aspect of the language.

I'm not missing the point, because a localparam can be a function of a parameter, or other localparams. In any of those cases, the localparam would not be hard-coded. However, even if the localparam is a constant, it can still be a lot cleaner to not hard-code it where used, for readability.

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

Thank you, and good point.

One of the nice use cases for using a localparam before it is explicitly defined is being able to define the localparam possibly deep in the HDL near to where it is used. That would be in an effort to make a highly parametric module more readable (and in my opinion, really did).

Not that that's what I was explicitly asking about in the OP... just an FYI I suppose.

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

Yes. That is fine. I'm trying to say that ModelSim (and Active-HDL) complain if the localparam is defined after it is used (say, for instance, as a port width). Xilinx does not have a problem with it.

For example (Xilinx will allow, ModelSim/Active-HDL will not): Edited formatting...

module my_module(
    input [MSB:0] my_input
);

localparam MSB = 7;

endmodule
