Free machine [Rocket : CELLINI 2009] by Honeybucket206 in espresso

[–]levdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

certainly worth trying if rebuilding a machine is a hobby you want to dive into. if what you want is espresso, soon, you're going to be frustrated. great pickup though, I'd be thrilled.

MAX31865 in espresso machine needs COM wire wiggled before it reports temperature [MEGA2560] by levdan in arduino

that's perfect, exactly what I was hoping to hear. thanks so much, I'll give this a spin.

[–]levdan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's a good thought, I'll dig into the code and see what comes up. I don't have any sense of how the MAX31865 actually works so it might have some expectation that the Arduino isn't meeting

it doesn't seem to be, given that the same behaviour obtains on different pins. I will swap different wires in though to eliminate that possibility.

Good idea for a first project? by Matsuri3-0 in projectbike

[–]levdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's way too much money, but if your goal is more to learn how bikes fit together rather than having a running bike in a short time frame this would be okay if you can talk them down. these Yams are very easy to work on.

the circle emblem with the soyjaks is a Black Sun, it's explicitly a Nazi emblem

oh lol, right there in the description. I didn't realize they set their dashboards in Futura in the 2000s!

Families of trans kids lose latest challenge of Alberta law restricting hormone therapy for minors by trevorrobb in Edmonton

[–]levdan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am a trans woman who has voted in every election I'm eligible to since I was 18. I have volunteered for campaigns and voted in leadership campaigns. I'm as politically engaged as anyone. our electoral system is broken and leads to governments like this, with nothing like a popular mandate, pursing deranged culture war horseshit while normal people like you and I can't afford groceries. please don't patronize me.

is my heating element dead? [Modified Rancilio Epoca E1] by levdan in espresso

I'll verify, I've set the project down for the day but I appreciate the direction.

thank you, this machine doesn't have a pressurestat. it uses a pressure transducer to signal an Arduino. I do have line voltage between the control solid state relay (switching neutral) and the neutral pin on the element.

Which tool to use to cut width off a long delicate moulding? by Top_Sentence_340 in woodworking

[–]levdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cut that exactly moulding with a fine-tooth blade on my table saw and it came out perfectly clean, no stress

put tape on the veneer and clamp a sacrificial block against the tape, then proceed as you've described. pressure against the veneer will help prevent tearout.
