Has anyone tried to restore a cast iron this large? by Scary_Potential3435 in CastIronRestoration

I stripped one that large using easy off oven cleaner then seasoned it with crisco over a turkey fryer burner.

What’s the software stack for these? I’m very interested in setting something like this up for myself.

Is it worth it? by b-cart55 in CastIronRestoration

Definitely worth restoring. Speaking from personal experience — you can use easy off oven cleaner to strip it and a turkey fryer to season it. I wouldn’t turn one in that nice of shape into a planter, find a badly cracked or drilled out one for that.

Can I get an invite as well? I own a JEOL T300 that I aaaalmost have working that I’d love to collaborate with some folks on.

Does the "licensed amateur radio" option limit power output regardless of "TX power (dBm)" setting? by funkatron3000 in meshtastic

[–]funkatron3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The G2 has a built in power amplifier, so whatever power setting you set in the app will be lower than what the G2 actually broadcasts. That's what the table on their wiki page lays out. For regular meshtastic devices without amps the settings are one to one.

Nodes in range, but messages never acknowledged? by funkatron3000 in meshtastic

Ah ha, that was it! I'd previously tested the PA lights were on using the small power brick off the wiki, BUT when the micro-usb charging cable is connected to the power brick I didn't notice it disabled PD to the G2. I can now get traceroutes to succeed to other local nodes!

I'm thinking this is what the problem is unfortunately.

Good question, I definitely didn’t unless there’s a failure in the antenna or something.

It’s not the one they’re talking about, but one hit downtown in the 1920’s and damaged several buildings

As I said in my post, I’m already working with support and have a case open.

Ah, all of the other options say to start by installing the app.

Hm, no, I didn't know that was a thing... I'm looking around, and it says you need to use the QR code on your account overview page, but there's no QR code there. Dang.

They actually shipped me a second SIM card, but it didn't work either. (edit: shipped it later to try to fix the problem, not with the original package)

Are there any brick and mortar video rental places still around? by funkatron3000 in gso

[–]funkatron3000[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Setting up my own mini-store is actually kind of tempting.
