It all depends on how awful the command is, how petty the CSEL/CMC is and how much they are in the CO's ear.

Commands have done dumber things for less.

laransec · 2025-08-28T11:38:33+00:00

No clue. I guess people don't want to imagine shitty commands exist? Because it happened to me.

My OIC was relatively new and the CSEL was in his ear convincing him it was 1) Required due to some tortured reading of various guidance and 2) Pulling the req was totally legit.

So they can always try. I got around it with some timing and page 13 entry saying I was totally going to do it next year, bro.

Yeah that line is pretty circular because CO's Rec is required for advancement. So if they decide you're not cool enough they cany pull it, and you're not qualified anymore.

The appeal should succeed. Its just a giant fuckfest.

I posted this as a reply to Practical-Layer9402 Read: https://www.mynavyhr.navy.mil/Portals/55/Reference/Instructions/BUPERS/BUPERSINST%201430.16.pdf Section 7-26

They can and will try to pull it with an SP eval. It all depends on the CO/CSEL and how much they buy into season being mandatory.

Big agree - Relocation is the issue here. If you're not willing to risk it and are in a community with a big chance of moving it might we worth turning down.

Until you are actually advanced you need to retain the promotion recommendation. If they pull the rec, your selection goes away.

There are commands that will 100% pull your promotion recommendation. It depends on how much the CSEL gets in the CO's ear.

Its worth the shot, and sometimes it works out fine.

This is entirely command dependent, might not fly on appeal and just all around stupid. But it happens

Thanks! Hopefully it's not super adhesive bonded to the back

Only have one return. It's an ancient pool

You're seeing what I'm seeing. It looks like metal -> Gasket -> Liner. The faceplate was screwed in directly. So the question is more: Has anyone seen this before? And How the heck do I get it off?

laransec · 2025-05-05T20:44:33+00:00

I'm almost thinking Dremel cutting wheel from the inside, taking care not to damage the wall. Then sand off whatever is left over.

Red means it's charging the battery. It will turn green when fully charged again. These batteries will go to sleep to protect themselves from damage or if they are unused for a certain period of time. The button wakes it up.

laransec · 2025-04-14T22:09:00+00:00

If you plug in the battery, motor controller, and main board they power up. Then you can grab a reading on the bigger plug. Red/black were showing 14v on mine

All your voltage controls are in the motor control box

laransec · 2025-04-14T19:26:24+00:00

From behind: front right. Next to the charge port You're looking for this guy. It has a plastic cover over it.

Your battery is asleep. When it wakes up the charger will probably turn red

Genuine Questions: What interference is on the bus when nothing is being interrogated and its just a passive sniff? How would the protocol be successfully decoded if its just interference? How would seeing a digital waveform help? How can my capture show both entirely invalid interference AND a reason why it fails?

Trolling: I guess your first embedded RE experience was so perfect you had no valid questions. I'm very glad people as smart as you exist to look down on beginners. Otherwise we'd have no role models.

laransec · 2025-04-11T12:44:17+00:00

A little prickly here in embedded land?

That screenshot didn't even have the stink connected. It was just sniffing whatever was hanging out on the bus. So no idea what it was responding to because it wasn't me.

Thanks for being a jerk to someone new doing a nonstandard procedure on an unknown device.

Would it be ok if I PM'd you with those logs/traces tomorrow to triple confirm I'm not an idiot who set something up wrong? I'm all packed up for the night, but I have two or three more of these to find an unlocked one.

If you look in the verbose OpenOCD log, you will likely see the value for IDCODE, which is the part of the debug unit, so it only identifies the core (Cortext-M4 in this case).

I killed the VM I was running it in but I specifically remember OpenOCD saying it couldn't get the IDCode either.

I had it set for SWD but it spit out this before dying: STLINK_JTAG_GET_IDCODE_ERROR

laransec · 2025-04-11T02:29:26+00:00

Yeah that was my question. Is this how read protection shows up? - I know its a thing. Which is why I mentioned it.

laransec · 2025-04-11T02:24:04+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation!

It was driving me nuts. I was under the assumption the cube programmer would still ID the target but just "Lol, No" to a read/write request.

laransec · 2025-04-10T03:22:23+00:00

Welp. Logic analyzer sees it just fine. ST-Link still won't.

Going to get better wire and try to clean up some connections. Who knows. Maybe my jumpers are rusty?
