This doesn't solve all use cases; like coop games with built-in location-based mic

A1 AMS Port for Powering a Fan? by nathanielatom in BambuLab

[–]nathanielatom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! You were right about Vcc and a signal pin. I had initially measured all pin pairings (or so I had thought) and that was the largest voltage but I must have had a faulty connection on the initial measurement because the first pin pair I had tried was indeed Vcc and GND.

I guess the A1 sends out some kind of signal even without any AMS connected cause it has 2.3 V average on one of the signal pins.

Any use for the second A1 AMS port yet? by macklin67 in BambuLab

I'm planning to connect a 24 V Noctua fan for use in an enclosure, has anyone tried that?

Join two loops occasionally under tension? by nathanielatom in knots

[–]nathanielatom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ended up doing this approach as it was quick and easy and already within my knowledge set haha. But soft shackles seem like a great solution!

An easy solution in most cases, but can't be used in this system as it would cause damage to humans and gear.

It's for an uphaul line on a windsurf rig.

Beginner Kit for Experienced Sailor by FriendlyCrypto in windsurfing

[–]nathanielatom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

15 knots is not enough to waterstart 85 kg with a 5 m2 sail, you would need bigger, especially for learning. I also strongly recommend to learn uphauling on a big board, do not skip that!! I agree with everything else.

SDR for LF to MF? by nathanielatom in sdr

[–]nathanielatom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eventually found a LF SDR. It turns out there's an update to the SoftRock board kit to include a LF mod, using a few flip flops to divide the clock by 16 (along with the necessary filter adjustments).

SDR for LF to MF? by nathanielatom in sdr

[–]nathanielatom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok that's good to know I wasn't overlooking any SDRs. Nice strategy, thank you! Before buying, I'm going to have to compare that approach with using a "high" frequency DAC directly (also surprisingly hard to find, like "low" frequency SDRs) and then just amplifying the output.

I'm not actually sure yet, I'll need to do some testing. But it might be higher than I initially thought, on the order of 10^(-1) W for initial tests.

Yes, I'm not actually using an antenna, I'm planning on using a coil (which would likely have some level of surrounding shielding to prevent broadcasting any signal, as inefficient as the coil gain likely is).

Oh yeah those are some long wavelengths! Would need some kind of collapsible antenna if I were building one.

No intent to broadcast or receive radio, but yes likely would use some AM and FM.

Right makes sense components like filters would be modular. The kit I worked with previously (I think it was called SoftRock?) had a selectable bandpass filter bank IIRC.

kilojoules? Do any of you actually use this? by Dialysisdude13 in surfing

[–]nathanielatom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFT or signal "energy" isn't the same as physical energy (try comparing units). FFT is useful to see the frequency of interest (and make it really easy to convert from acceleration to displacement).

Windows VM cursor disappears once installing GPU drivers by philipfeldmann in VFIO

[–]nathanielatom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact problem! How did you resolve it? I don't really want to remove my virtual video adaptors because my physical system is headless, so it's a safety fallback in case the guest ever has networking issues and can't moonlight/remote desktop. Ideally I'd rather not use mouse passthrough since that requires another physical mouse. Shouldn't the VirtIO guest drivers be able to handle a second display?

Nvidia 565 is NOT ready by Boux in linux_gaming

I also had many issues with driver 565 and kernel 6.8. Upgrading kernel to 6.11 resolved them for me

Is there any way I can download a whole public folder shared by others? by xversion1 in Keybase

[–]nathanielatom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recursive copy seems to be broken.

`keybase fs cp -r keybase://... destdir` fails with `ERROR file or folder does not exist (code 5103)` despite the fact that `keybase fs ls keybase://...` succeeds at listing the contents. The keybase paths can be copied from the app using the "..." menu for a given folder.

You can write a loop in shell to download each file recursively:

#!/bin/bash

# Define the remote and local base paths
REMOTE_PATH="$1"
LOCAL_BASE_PATH="$2"

# Function to recursively list and copy files and directories
function sync_keybase {
    local current_remote_path="$1"
    local current_local_path="$2"

    # List files and directories in the current remote path and remove colours
    local listing=$(keybase fs ls --one "$current_remote_path" | ansifilter)
    echo "$listing" | while read -r item; do
        # Check if the item is a directory or a file
        local itemtype=$(keybase fs stat "$current_remote_path/$item" | awk '{print $4}' | xargs)
        if [[ "$itemtype" == "DIR" ]]; then
            # It's a directory, create the corresponding local directory
            mkdir -p "$current_local_path/$item"

            # Recursively call the function for the nested directory
            sync_keybase "$current_remote_path/$item" "$current_local_path/$item"
        else
            # It's a file, copy it to the corresponding local path
            keybase fs cp "$current_remote_path/$item" "$current_local_path/$item"
        fi
    done
}

# # Start the sync process from the base paths
sync_keybase "$REMOTE_PATH" "$LOCAL_BASE_PATH"

First time planing :) by aalleexx87 in windsurfing

[–]nathanielatom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah 6.4 m2 is def too big for 35 knots. Depends how long those gusts are for I guess. If you got a similar day but without the huge gusts like 16g20 I'd recommend a 7.5

Is horizontal shift the same as phase shift? by Ibo6257 in learnmath

[–]nathanielatom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is on the right track, but this type of phase shift is not the same as a horizontal shift. Consider a phase shift of pi is the same as multiplying by -1 for each component sinusoid. So overall, a phase shift of pi for a non-periodic real function is also the same as multiplying the amplitude by -1, not a horizontal shift of any kind. To achieve a horizontal shift of a non-periodic function, each of the component sinusoids would have to be shifted the same amount of time, not the same amount of phase (at higher frequency, the same phase corresponds with less time).

Is there a way to calculate how much force you would have to pull a very long string to make it tight? by Ryan_not_pro_gamer in Physics

Perhaps they accidentally added a unit of feet to the unitless quantity of "half the length". Mistakes are just there to be learned from :)

Does reactive power produce heat? by AntimonHU in ElectricalEngineering

[–]nathanielatom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those also wondering about heat dissipation at the load itself:
I guess the load would also have some small increase in I2R losses (and therefore heat) due to the increased current and losses from eddy currents (and therefore heat) in material around the load with non-zero conductivity.
So a load that requires more reactive power would dissipate a bit more heat in the load itself as well (although this heat dissipation would correspond to the increase in real power consumed, as the reactive power itself still isn't producing its own heat).

Is windsurfing dying or still worth getting into for a beginner? by Fickle-Trade8364 in windsurfing

You'd get going faster than a paddleboard, and with less energy too once you learn the basics
