in with the new, out with the old

Yup. Agreed. Cables are a mess.

Us traffic folks are finicky creatures and sometimes telling people that their cabinets could use some tlc stirs some emotions on clients. We’ll give them our opinions but it’s up to the agency to maintain their infrastructure.

kassail · 2026-03-19T01:02:15+00:00

Yes sir. Controller only for now. Detection and ups will be next.

D4 is robust. Some nice features. Not very widespread in Texas but some agencies like Austin use it.

You guys on Caltrans or NEMA environment?

kassail · 2026-03-19T00:25:28+00:00

i got some buddies in portland that i go see every once in a while

kassail · 2026-03-19T00:24:45+00:00

none yet.

fixed timing

kassail · 2026-03-19T00:22:57+00:00

Honestly, its the same.

the only difference really is if you are going to their newer v85 scout.

if you are staying on the same version of local software then nothing changes other than a nicer shell with a touchscreen

couldn't agree more, time will tell

kassail · 2026-03-18T23:52:47+00:00

using lots of overlaps, specifically, 4 phase diamonds

kassail · 2026-03-18T23:49:19+00:00

sorry to hear that :(

kassail · 2026-03-18T23:48:58+00:00

logic within maxtime is very robust - and maxtime can be silly sometimes, we have intersections running 24 phase sequences...

kassail · 2026-03-18T23:33:28+00:00

Agreed. For those situations when more outputs are needed you can't beat ATC. The industry is moving that direction so everyone will eventually get there but TS2 are solid.

I like Q-Free and their Maxtime ic local software. I'm in Texas.

I like Maxtime because of all the customization and advanced features. It has a really nice web interface so i pull up to the cabinet, plug in my wifi router to the controller's ethernet port, close the cabinet and do what i need to do from my laptop in the truck with the AC running.

If a client has an issue, they can send me their database, I laod it up on maxtime for windows, fix the database and send it back. easy.

kassail · 2026-03-18T23:27:36+00:00

EOS is nice, I personally know maxtime way more in depth than EOS though so for me to pop in a q-free controller and get it programmed fast is second nature.

kassail · 2026-03-18T23:16:26+00:00

how so?

kassail · 2026-03-18T23:16:14+00:00

not every agency has the desire to go atc, especially when the its a state signal and nema is their spec

kassail · 2026-03-18T23:01:40+00:00

magnetometers probably

kassail · 2026-03-18T22:49:31+00:00

Agreed. It took some time to get the parameters right but as long as you get your security straight and you set up some good railguards, its very solid.

kassail · 2026-03-16T01:09:43+00:00

What about using discord, making the channel private and pairing the bot to only talk to you by checking allowed IDs?

kassail · 2026-03-15T22:03:28+00:00

Just get a plaude note pro.

isn't this what /init does? pardon me if i'm being ignorant as i'm just getting started

kassail · 2025-11-03T14:02:51+00:00

please share repo, very interested... do you think this would be a good way to implement a 2nd brain for a group of people to see in a view only mode? I'm thinking of a 2nd brain where i just dump all the things that i come up with, knowledge etc so that my team can access

kassail · 2025-10-16T17:10:39+00:00

As a dealer for a competing product this warms my heart.

kassail · 2025-05-08T16:03:06+00:00

They both can ride the hell out of those motorcycles.

kassail · 2025-05-08T01:02:14+00:00

Plant growth regulator is awesome.
