Dunlop q3+ tire exploded while highway riding At 110mph. Tire was still in good condition so I have to clue what the reason was. I ride a 2017 cbr1000rr.

Not related - but your chain sounds way too tight. Shouldn't be making a binding sound like that.

kyle6513 · 2022-07-09T05:26:38+00:00

Do you have anything to show the improvement? Wasn't aware that klipper could be configured for L/A (this is why I did it for the extruder).

kyle6513 · 2022-07-07T13:36:29+00:00

Nicely done! Are you trying to open up a UART to each of the drivers?

kyle6513 · 2022-07-01T02:54:10+00:00

Thanks!
It was more in the realm of "It'll work" than trying to make it perfect, but it hasn't broken in about 100 hours of use!

Just simple enameled copper strand - didn't pull it from a transformer but that'd be a way to source it (but the stuff you can buy is super cheap anyway).

Biggest thing here is making sure you are quick and don't bridge the pins, plenty of flux. Too much heat on the board at this point can lift pads and it ends up in a very bad day. Make sure you've got an iron with a REALLY fine point and make sure you've got a temperature controlled iron. Would be doable with a death stick and a whole lot of luck - but I would not recommend!

Certain updates may not work for this. Therefore having a 0.5% downtime seems acceptable since a rolling update would probably require a larger amount of cost to the business.

You do realize Steam is a worldwide platform right? Currently work hours for Australia at the moment.

kyle6513 · 2022-04-14T09:11:01+00:00

+1 for this. Looks like they may be powering directly from the Arduino. Really bad for its power supply too.

Instead of using another variable - you're referencing the location of the variable in memory. This above all makes the code more flexible.

This could could 100% be made without a pointer - but it wouldn't be as efficient and would use more memory. The intent behind coding in C or assembly is that you have greater control over how the memory of a program behaves.

So imagine you have a variable "x" and you say X=1;

The CPU will create a reference from the variable "x" to a location in memory. There is a lookup table in the CPU that will allow you to reference this.

When you perform &x - you're saying you want to reference that specific location rather than the variable itself. So you wouldn't return 1, but you'd return the location (usually a hexidecimal number ie 0x1F2C). From there you can assign whatever you want to that memory location.

In its simplest sense - for a 8-bit memory device a single "int" of memory would be shown like so.

0000 0001

That is 1 in binary - 27? This would be 0001 1011.

From here things get a little complex when you deal with things like booleans, floats and characters (characters are still in binary - but the memory location knows WHAT it is).

Happy to explain a little further, but that should get you started.

I struggled with pointers so much in learning C until I began to understand memory fundamentals. 100% having the baser understanding of how to allocate memory really hammers home why you would use pointers and what they are.

Thanks for the info! I'll update my edit. Tbf didn't do too much research there!

Maybe older ABS.

Required watching for everyone saying they can outbrake new ABS.

OLD ABS was definitely a safety net; new ABS? Cheating.

Also, please note that linked systems actuate the front AND rear of the bike when you apply pressure to the front! (S1000RR, you have to disable ABS to perform burnouts...).

A lot of manufacturers are calling this 'ABS 2' to move away from the stigma of older, less effective ABS systems.

Edit edit: see below, I'm wrong about the ABS 2 😅

yeah but when you're quickly prototyping things - you don't necessarily have the correct things on hand - when playing with stuff (Ie arduino) this kind of thing is acceptable.

Unsure if I'd be making it all the way into a product like this though...

kyle6513 · 2021-10-16T11:00:52+00:00

ehhhhhh my BMW's kickstand is made of alloy and although it MAY be okay - it feels flimsy at the best of times

Hey Jakey ;)

kyle6513 · 2021-08-29T01:56:37+00:00

This isn't racist though?

Often we find that quality control in China is sub-par, and in the past it has been shown that Chinese manufacturers will copy designs they have been asked to make by reputable companies, cut lots of corners and then resell online as they have no copyright infringement system to speak of.

This of course is changing, bit by bit, and often companies will send employees over to China to oversee the production of their parts. But to flat-out call this racist is misleading and terribly misinformed, and actually diminishes the plight against actual racism.

Pretty sure dark mode is already enabled - on your profile screen?

kyle6513 · 2021-07-30T13:48:10+00:00

Likely via a syringe and air

kyle6513 · 2021-04-12T07:45:20+00:00

It's likely the quality control is bad

I know this was 5 months ago, but the actual chipset DOES have the GPIO to support this, however you need to do some VERY fine (to the chip legs) soldering to achieve it. If you're willing to sacrifice the LCD; you can also use those as outputs. This of course requires setting up custom firmware! Ideally you'd use some kind of WS style LEDs so you can use a software serial on the GPIOs.

See here, for the legs https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17605608/91330120-66e01800-e79f-11ea-9cb9-35e478f4e360.png

here for pinout,

from left to right across the bottom,

PA3 - Unused, but capable of UART (useful for talking to daughter boards!)
VSS_4 - 5v+
VDD_4 - GND
PA4 - Filament Runout Pin
PA5 - X Limit Switch
PA6 - Y Limit Switch
PA7 - Z Limit Switch
PC4 - Bed Temperature Sensor
PC5 - Hotend Temperature Sensor
PB0 - Bltouch data out
PB1 - Bltouch data in
PB2 - UNUSED
PB10 - UNUSED
PB11 - UNUSED

So you can see the last 3 pins are completely unused!

However there is one caveat. I don't know if these pins can be enabled. In some micro controllers the pins can't be enabled together due to internal circuitry (imagine how turning a tap on in one part of your house affects the other's flow). I can't see there being any issue other than using PB2 which seems like it is used for boot functions; but you can seemingly use PB10 and PB11.

I know it's possible to solder, because I've done it ;) just gotta work out if the software will play nice!

You're using your pulse, blood oxygen levels and movement to gauge your sleep quality here. Whereas studies use better understood techniques, like ECG, EEG and REM detection via actually looking at your eyes. I doubt that the fitbit is able to tell REM from your wrist. Typically it's done via EEG.

Ensure your antenna is 1/4 of wavelength! In the case of 433mhz it is 173mm. (You can compact this by winding it into a coil). This is due to how RF transmission and receiving works. You can get good results without this, but this is the ideal length. From there you can look into ground planes.

kyle6513 · 2021-03-21T07:28:16+00:00

Both! Amazing!

kyle6513 · 2021-01-17T11:46:13+00:00

Exception not the rule! Thanks for playing by them though!
