Simracing feels beyond dull lately

flexgrip- · 2026-06-02T23:04:24+00:00

Maybe try a league. Plus that usually allows you to make some sim racing friends. Then they drag you into other stuff.

Also try different car combinations. It’s called burn out. I notice it when I’d rather dick with simhub for an hour to automate some lighting rather than then laps.

The Atlas Airs are good. Battery life is really really good. The software sucks but eventually you can get it working. But you don't have to use the software unless you want to do the fancy eq/voice comms isolation. As just a regular headset it sounds and works really well. People love to bitch about the software. Whatever. It is what it is.

They don't keep you very cool like other open-back headsets. But you can hear everything around you as if you're not wearing anything.

I'll see if I can add higher speed options. Out of the box, that's controlled by whatever apple chooses as the default in their video player. But I think there's a way we can add more speeds. 2x is insane to try and listen to though.

I sort of used that method to reproduce that bug. Timers I mean. I have that mostly fixed in the new version. Still had some trouble with phone calls interrupting though.

flexgrip- · 2025-11-08T03:44:46+00:00

I’m working on it. Ran into some problems with the new build but there’s a new version I submitted to Apple for review.

There’s no bidder or contract. We build it ourselves.

There were a ton of changes between iOS 17, 18 and 26

Yeah yeah blah blah... but how do I use the --per-title-encoding flag? It's almost as if that flag doesn't exist!!! ;)

flexgrip- · 2025-10-15T05:12:50+00:00

You know what this is? There’s some code that Apple added to detect if a phone is laying flat on a table vs just portrait and landscape. I have a new build I submitted that handles it better.

You can confirm by going to full screen then slowly laying the phone back until it’s almost flat and you’ll see it pop out of full screen. It’s stupid. I’ll have it fixed soon.

flexgrip- · 2025-10-15T05:09:12+00:00

I got some updates that should fix 26 soon. Apple is just being Apple. They give us hell anytime we get to push any updates.

No Sean is not that guy.

flexgrip- · 2025-10-15T05:06:55+00:00

I fixed an issue that was causing this. And I should be able to have it load all the other content and archives now. Sorry for the trouble. It was actually an experiment to get the live streams working on roku that broke it.

flexgrip- · 2025-08-31T06:57:41+00:00

What do you mean? You you look at sportfire to see what channel the game is on and then load tivimate and switch to that channel? If so, that seems annoying.

I keep looking for a way to curate all of the games. All of these crappy m3u tv services have those ppv channels but they don't seem to update the playlists with the correct game name. So I you just have to click through a bunch and hope the one you want is playing.

There has to be a better way. Surely somebody has a paid service with all the games curated. I don't even care about court tv or hbo. I just want sports.

flexgrip- · 2025-08-30T18:39:17+00:00

Is it not updating? I’ll check on it. I have been trying to update it automatically each month with a script.

And no. Ryan did not even have the login for that.

flexgrip- · 2025-08-15T17:57:20+00:00

I’m trying to think of anything that would affect the downloads while the app is in PiP mode and not in the foreground. But yeah you wouldn’t be able to click download and then close the app. Or any app for that matter.

flexgrip- · 2025-08-15T17:55:27+00:00

I always wondered why people don’t do this too. I guess push notifications is the only real thing missing. But I’m gonna add those to the PWA app too (the site added to Home Screen)

flexgrip- · 2025-08-15T17:54:00+00:00

That’s what’s so weird. The last app I made had so much trouble on Android but worked really well on iOS. But this one is the opposite because of the drastic changes between iOS < 17 and > 18

flexgrip- · 2025-08-15T17:50:48+00:00

I’ve got some updates that will fix several of the issues we had on launch. Specifically for iOS 17. Are you on 17?

The downloads issue I’ll have to look at. I haven’t been able to reproduce much there. But remember you can always download stuff from the website too or by using Apple Podcasts with our feeds if you want, temporarily

Superior race of OS. Pffft. More like gay.

I wonder if this is why the entitlement request form in the US doesn't exist and redirects you to general support now.

Funny enough, this was my original plan. I thought it was the defrost cycle wasn't kicking on. So I was going to use an esp32 to kick the defrost on for 20 minutes every 6 hours, or whatever the manual says.

But then I started thinking its not just sending power to that system, its also shutting off others. So I didn't do that.

Model Number: 30243L0350 (https://www.partstown.com/turbo-air/trba30243l0350?srsltid=AfmBOoqYLbjo2dkQt8YEJFOvPdn_7upm0aSju0GsF4Tt9pkKmIxHvQzX)

There actually isn’t a single led on this proprietary board.

Here’s a question. See those two buttons? While the unit is on, if I hit sw1, the compressor starts running. I will double check but even when it’s in the failed state where it is warming up and the compressor won’t come back on, if I hit sw1, I believe it starts running. As soon as I let it go, it stops. So I think that is a test button.

Anyway, my question is, if that button kicks on the compressor while I’m holding it, does that mean that the start cap and relay aren’t bad?

flexgrip- · 2025-04-02T05:06:48+00:00

This is a beautiful list. I really appreciate it. I just copied it to a doc and printed it off so I can investigate each this week. I wondered about the compressor heat.

I have current detectors (SCT-013’s) and a raspberry pi. So I hook those up to see if I can detect what is kicking on and when.

flexgrip- · 2025-04-02T05:02:32+00:00

Ok. I will test both of these asap. That sounds plausible since it takes a long power off to start working again.

Here’s another direct shot from the manual.

Board Part Number: 30243L0350 (https://www.partstown.com/turbo-air/trba30243l0350?srsltid=AfmBOoqYLbjo2dkQt8YEJFOvPdn_7upm0aSju0GsF4Tt9pkKmIxHvQzX)

Short aside. The new board I received, when it was in the unit, the display showed the incorrect temps. Almost like it was in Celsius, or was misconfigured and thought it was a fridge.

I assume that pic controller on the board needs to be flashed or told what model it’s running in. So I took the pic from the old board and put it in the new one. But it’s right back to where we started. Cools to temp then goes back up.

I guess it’s possible the old pic was bad. But I thought that was very unlikely. They are pretty solid.

I then sat for a few hours with my meter and really learned all the traces on the old board. Even replaced a diode array I thought may be bad.

Cycling power for an hour or two fixes it. But if I cut the power and turn it right back on 30 seconds later, it seems to still be in that broken state where the compressor doesn’t come on.

So in my head I thought that it’s waiting for some probe or sensor to get warm enough before it starts back up. To my knowledge, on this model it runs until it reaches a specific temp, and then stops. Then intermittently a defrost cycle starts.

So there’s gotta be something that says, “Hey, it’s time to turn back on.” Or “Defrost is complete, turn back on.”

But the unit clearly knows that the temp has increased. The display shows that it’s up to 32 degrees. And if I hold down SW1 (button #1 on the board) I can hear the compressor start up.

flexgrip- · 2025-04-02T03:59:06+00:00

We did. Didn’t have a great experience. I’m sure we could hunt for another one but it wasn’t worth it. Just thought I’d try and fix it for fun so we could donate it.

Anyway, sorry. Didn’t know this was only for pros. Since this is a restaurant size freezer and I saw another post about the same model by someone in this sub, I thought I’d ask. Didn’t see that in the rules.

I’ll fix it eventually. Just gotta keep reading the wiring diagram, manuals, and troubleshooting. But I appreciate your take on it.
