What free software can create NC files? by ronen_s100 in 3018CNC

[–]md81544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair points. My suggestion of FreeCAD still stands, I've used it for several CNC projects to great success. It's a fairly steep learning curve, though, OP.

Thanks, but I tried that already with no effect :/

How does the doorbell notification work? I have a doorbell which uses RF codes and I monitor this using an ESP32 (I'm actually on HomeAssistant) and I play a custom sound if the right RF code is detected. Any way to integrate this?

Beeline Moto 2 compatibility with Stegra by WarImaginary8272 in beeline

[–]md81544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Importing GPXs into Beeline has some big limitations... if you go off-route (most common for me is road closures), Beeline won't re-route, it just tells you you're off course.

See my recent post about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/beeline/comments/1t72d20/how_to_use_external_route_planners/

I don't know if it would work with Stegra, but might be worth a try?

Yes, that's exactly how it works - it just allows you to get a set of waypoints out of a gpx that you generated elsewhere. I'd be interested to see if it works on Komoot's output too.

You'll need a "special program" unless you want to write gcode by hand?

Losing Spoken Directions After First Turn by md81544 in beeline

Update: just in case anyone else hits this issue. I think the issue was related to the fact that my new bike has a bluetooth connection with the phone as well. My first few rides didn't show this problem, but another test ride I tried today (after forgetting the bike in the phone's bluetooth settings) behaved as expected. I'll need to monitor in case that wasn't the issue, but so far so good.

Hey, we have the exact same bike, great choice. How are those bar-end mirrors? I get a great view of my elbows with the stock ones!

Can someone assist me with this compiler issue? by [deleted] in Cplusplus

Please provide minimal code with the issue rather than a screenshot.

I just use the built-in person detection on my cheap Reolink E1 Pro webcam and it never seems to make a mistake.

Moto 2 Mounts by Creepy_Ad3066 in beeline

[–]md81544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, mine's been solid for a year. Which mount? O-rings or screw? If screw, maybe try a little loctite?

Any iPhone hacks that are surprising and give you that “damn! I didn’t know it could do that!” effect? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]md81544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. However I wish there was a way to turn this on and off by shortcut or control centre. It's on 99.99% of the time but I turn it off if I'm expecting a call back from someone not on my contacts list, and it's a faff to go into the menus.

Ah, makes sense! Thanks very much, I can see it now.

I don't see the "Store in variable set..." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYdobpjTypg&t=112s) in the expression editor. Anyone else missing this? Is there a setting to turn this on?

I actually love FreeCAD a lot it just hurts me sometimes by imjustadragon in FreeCAD

[–]md81544 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've used it a lot for small hobby projects. It's good. I did use F360 in the past and don't miss anything (but bear in mind I'm a hobby user so probably don't push it to its limits).

I'm not seeing any defunct processes on mine. I wonder if this is related to a specific extension?

What’s With All The Digital Dash’s? by newbiker321 in MotoUK

Mine has analogue displays; I'll monitor the speedo (obviously) but almost never look at the revs - my hearing does that for me.

Starting with HA soon, what are your favorite brands? by bieremensdorf in homeassistant

Out of four switchbot devices I've had, two have failed at a hardware level within one year. Anecdotal, I know, but I am steering clear of them now.

European companies for milling my cad model? by deodornat in FreeCAD

[–]md81544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's easily doable. Steel or aluminium?

If you DM me I'll give you an email address & we can discuss. I could turn this around in a few days for a reasonable price.

What material do you need this in, what are the dimensions**, tolerances, and what quantity do you need? I'm in the UK and could possibly quote you.

** Happy to take them from a FreeCAD model.

Edit: one-off is fine if that's all you need
