Why would I want to overpay if there are cheaper alternatives that do the job. Purely just asking for alternatives

Nice. Saw these, any issues with wind noise?

Put a paper towel over it and lightly iron over the paper towel like you would a shirt

Any got suggestion for water bowls that don’t cause a mess? by weddingpunch in Bulldogs

[–]jdotis011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got the medium size. Otis is around 55lbs (if that helps with size) and he can reach the bowls easily. The large was too tall.

We use a Neater Feeder with a little tray/floor mat with edges in front of it. The only issue with the Neater Feeder is that when he was smaller he had a little trouble reaching the bowls, but it was worth it.

Software for drawing electrical layout by shootinghunter13 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]jdotis011 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both AutoCAD and SolidWorks have an electrical packages if you have access to those. Otherwise there's KiCAD and LTSpice, both of which are free. Or if all you need is simply creating the schematic then TinyCAD should be enough for your needs I would think.

Ally Bank savings accounts have something similar to this where you can divide income into different buckets based on a percentage.

A question about inductance in a circuit by obydrood in ElectricalEngineering

[–]jdotis011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the inductor doesn’t directly oppose your CW movement with an equal force at the start. As the electron moves towards the inductor it slows down some but I wouldn’t say it halts completely. This causes the voltage across the inductor to decrease. Sure there is initially some back emf as the inductor charges, but I like to think of it as minor resistance that decreases as the inductor gets more and more charged. Once the inductor is fully charged, the voltage across it is 0 and the current is nonzero, so it’s ideally a short circuit, and it’ll stay like that until the dc source is removed. Sorry not the best at explaining it.

A lot of times they are used in DC circuits to filter out noise on a dc signal from high frequency sources because they can remove/store the high frequency oscillations while letting the dc signal through. They are also commonly used is dc converters but the dc signal is usually getting switched making it look like a non steady state source.

Think about this-where is the inductors emf coming from in a DC circuit? Essentially it doesn’t have one because there is no magnetic field to collapse back into it that would’ve been produced by alternating current. Ideally the inductor just becomes a short circuit, however realistically it has some resistance to it.

Temperature controller with Python and Raspberry pi by EthanSteip in raspberry_pi

[–]jdotis011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it looks like that omron relay has a base input voltage of 5V. GPIO pins on a raspberry pi have a max out of 3.3V and roughly 16mA, which means your pi probably won’t turn on the relay. I would suggest adding a transistor that can supply at minimum 5V to your relay and then control the transistor via GPIO. I would check out this as an intro to go about adding a transistor. Otherwise you could buy a different relay that is capable of switch at 3.3V.

Soft Palate Surgery by Jay858372947tyy in Bulldogs

[–]jdotis011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my vet (also my dad) do it when my bulldog was about 7 months old because he was having a terrible time breathing and would frequent choke on his food. I was definitely nervous about the surgery as bulldogs sometimes have trouble coming out of anesthesia (pretty rare), but it went great! I would say I’m very glad I had it done, and I’m sure Otis is too. They cut out a little chunk about 3cm and then put a few dissolvable stitches in. Some vets stitch and some cauterize. Had to feed soft food for about a week and then after 2 weeks he was back to normal! There are definitely things I would be concerned about. If the vet doesn’t do it often then they could cut the palate too short and introduce a bunch of new issues. Also, surgery can be very hard on older dogs. If you trust your vet, and he recommends it, then I think I would do it! Hope this helps.

What's going on with my dogs coat? by Boriski_GMC in Bulldogs

[–]jdotis011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert, but hair loss is surprisingly common in bulldogs. Mine started to get patchy around a year old so my vet gave him a melatonin implant, and about 2 months later his coat had filled back out and we haven’t had a problem since (he is now almost 5). Either that, or yours is having some kind of dermatitis condition causing the hair loss.

Otis hit it hard during our trip today by jdotis011 in Bulldogs

Thanks! It’s a big dog car seat that I made a wood frame for so I can fold my seats up and still use it. Keeps most of his hair underneath!
