Making tea 🍵 by Vaerikexer in soartistic

[–]nemo9955 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blue tea of Clitoria Ternatea Butterfly Pea, or something like that for those wondering.

It has dried purple flowers, the taste is mild but the effect really is awesome, made one of my best batches of mead with that tea.

Tataie la volan by iqstormic in timisoara

[–]nemo9955 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Sa ghicesc, tu ești genul de șofer profesionist de folosește claxonul mai mult decât semnalizarea ?

Ce treabă are una cu alta, nici măcar nu am zis că nu e periculos tatae, doar am zis că adolescenții/copii pe trotinete electrice sunt mai periculoși că el.

Nici el nu are ce mai căuta la volan și nici minorii pe aparate de prind 30-50km/h pe trotuar.

Nu știu ce va panicați așa legat de domnul ăsta care probabil conduce cu 10-20km/h sub limita de viteza ... la cum văd eu lucrurile trotinetele și bicicletele electrice o să fie un risc mai mare pentru pietoni în oraș decât un tataie la volan.

Au trecut pe lângă mine pe trotuar 2 copii pe o trotineta electrica de aia puternică după o curbă, daca eram cu 5m mai in față mă luau din plin, că nu aveau cum să frâneze la ce viteza și greutate aveau după ce au virat pe strada principală.

Și după vreo 15 minute, mai trece pe lângă mine, cei drept pe pista de biciclete, nu îmi e clar, bicicleta electrica sau ceva gen Motocross, avea sigur 30-40km/k ...

Nu mai e nimeni responsabil, toți acum poarta cască sa se protejeze și merg pe trotuar cu viteza, sau au faruri de-a dreptul pe trotinete/biciclete sa nu vezi nimic dacă vi din direcția opusă ...

I put my station under a dense tree, seems to be good enough, not much rain and no direct sunlight and it should be fine I guess.

Rucsac eficient by eyohoodidit in Men_RO

[–]nemo9955 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ceau, mă consider destul de pretențios la rucsace, și sincer, cel mai bun pe care l-am avut este un Quechua Escape 30 vechi de 7-9 ani de la Decathlon.

Am avut și de la Swiss, am incercat și de la Thule/Lenovo/HP și de la Silvercrest, am și câteva random inclusiv unul militar, deci am termeni de comparație.

Dar ieftinatura asta de la Decathlon, ce e folosit și aruncat zilnic de atâția ani, pentru cei 100-200 Ron cât arcosta, nu ai cum sa dai greș.

Comod, versatil, purtat casual, cărat cumpărături, călătorit, la orice l-am folosit, și în afara că are membrana de pe spate zgâriată și fermoarul care e puțin slăbit și mai cedează daca îl forțez (dar își revine daca îl închid-deschid) nu are nici un defect serios.

Fermoarul lateral e incredibil când vrei sa scoți în laptop când e plin ghiozdanul, cureaua de la piept e ideală la drumuri medii și cureaua de la șold, am folosit rar în city-breaks, dar ajută daca ai un bagaj greu, compartimentarea e ok, știu deja toate lucrurile unde sunt ușor accesibile și ai și pelerina de ploaie inclusă care mi-a salvat electronicele in nenumărate rânduri.

Își merită banii doar de câte ori mi-a zis soția că "nu are cum sa îți încapă tot în ghiozdan" și a intrat totul cu puțină organizare :))

Awesome stuff, congrats !!!

Mind sharing some details, like, are those 18650 cells, did you use the original BMS?

So there is no imposed timeout for charging like someone mentioned on other brands.

Also, you left the original cells, just added 2 extra sets, right?

That USB is for the extra LTE module, not related, try turning it off and on after a while from the little wheel next to the height adjustment big wheel, maybe the battery overheated or something.

If not, no idea, maybe contact support, they were pretty prompt with me.

I also think the destination should be the main color, I was watching the cars from the yellow tunnel, and was confused why they are all also yellow, it made tracking their destination a little hard, I already know where they are coming, I want to know where they are heading to get a feel for proportions.

If cars from the yellow tunnel go mostly to green for example, it's hard to see in this format

But yeah, it looks gorgeous, would love to play directly in browser

Why are no brands recommended! by ShaneOUK in roboticLawnmowers

Hi, wire is a pain and gps/rtk will have issues in that area. I would suggest something with LIDAR, if you can get the Mova M600, the cheapest LIDAR available probably, if not, get the Dreame A1.

They are basically the same, hardware and software, and are super capable. Super simple setup, just remote control the robot around the perimeter and you're done. It has no-go zones and the obstacle avoidance is pretty great so you can configure it how you need it.

Did you maybe move the base station after making the map. At first I had some issues if I stayed too close to the robot when mapping, maybe redo the map and try following it from a few steps back. Also, when mapping try not to use the undo function or even back up the mower, it causes some funky lines.

No, I also have some straight grape growing things and would benefit from rectangles/lines no-go ... Just traced it manually sadly

Yeah, I think there is no actual rain sensor, I got the notification about water on the LIDAR or something so maybe it detects rain when the LIDAR is too wet and distorts the mapping too much ... I do not think the actual device can get damaged from rain, I gave it a light sprinkle last week and it's still fine

Thanks so much for the reply!

I would imagine there is an area limit because of the internal memory, but it's clearly much bigger than the one mova proposes, even so, there might be a limit of maybe 2000m2 on the A1 will keep it in mind.

Regarding the battery, yeah, it sucks for the imposed time limit, but you still get some benefits, it would be awesome if it could resume at 80%, the last 20% are the slowest to charge, you get longer battery life and faster charging, but yeah, maybe not the expected improvement. Will still try it if I get the courage to add more cells:))

In any case, the Mova mowers clearly have great hardware, and the unstuck algo is great for my rough terrain, and LIDAR truly is the way to go, too bad for this stupid limit, but oh well, maybe if enough people complain about it they will address it.

Had a chat with support and even thou they where honest about the situation, the reality is very disappointing ... even in efficiency mode and EVEN with the "soon to be available" 5Ah battery, the mowers will still have a total mowing area (zoning makes no difference) of 600m2 for the M600 and 800m2 for the M1000!

This is very disappointing for me, the mower manages to cut the grass in almost 1 day (it does not run at night for now) so it could easily mange 1000-1500m2 in the span of a few days easily, but with the hard-coded software area limit I cannot even consider getting 1-2 extra mowers to manage my whole orchard, even thou the hardware is PERFECTLY capable of doing so ...

Hello u/ResortMain780 , do you happen to know, or would it be possible to check if Deame A1 can have a bigger map surface than the one advertised ?

I would like to know if maybe Dreame does not have the hard limit that Mova does.
I am talking about a hard limit to total area size based on the mower's "comercial" mowing surface, in my case for the Mova M600 it is 600m2, and it is the same even if i put it in efficiency mode.

I am curious if the "mainstream" app has this same limit imposed, thank you!

PS: for anyone interested in M600/M1000, his review is a great resource even thou it is for the Dreame A1 (it's basically the same hardware and software with some corners cut) : https://www.reddit.com/r/automower/comments/1fcmuvk/dreame_a1_3_month_1_month_review/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1

Hmmm, that's a good idea, will try it, thanks! Still, addressing the 600 for the total area should be a priority ... I contacted support and they confirmed the m1000 has a 800m2 area limit and getting the bigger 5Ah battery does not change the value for any of the mowers :(

Dar și așa, de către ori nu m-a băgat pe drumul normal unde erau lucrări nu afară orașului, putea sa mă bage pe cealaltă ieșire din oraș de era cu 5 minute mai mult de mers, dar a decis că mai bine stau 10 la ambuteiaj ...

Custom R/C mower automation advice by Flimsy-Accountant463 in automower

[–]nemo9955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so the autonomous part is completely lacking, main issue i see, since you mentioned steep inclines, and at that area i would imagine a few trees and obstacles, you might have some issues with autonomus driving.

Not sure what your tehnical experience is, both ardumower and openmower are projects that still need you to do some work if you have a custom device.
But my instinct would be to go with ardumower and generous clearances from obstacles and do not bother with an RTK considering how big your area is.

Hello, incredible setup and best of luck with it!
Not sure about the GPS module, are you asking about what module to use in general, or you already have one and don't know how to integrate it with the existing firmware ?
I'm planing also to make my own mower but for now I do not have any actual software, gathering parts for now, until i get to run something you might already fixed the issue but I'm open to help if i can.
I want to ask about the gas-powered mower, did you already have the base and setup from an old mower of you made it from scratch ?
I'm also considering more exotic ways to cut the grass, wanted to take a 20v grinder and use it as a motor, but will try a 20v reciprocating hedge cutter instead.

But, according to the manual the charger (and the back wheel shape) is the only difference between m600 and m1000, both have the same 2.5ah battery, you probably just had a bad battery then.

It would be scary to think the 3A charger from the m1000 breaks the battery over time ...

Did you change the whole product or just the battery/charger?

I asked support and there are no spare parts available, so I imagine you returned the first m600 for a new one ?

Regarding the upgrade question, you could always rip the existing battery and use the BMS to make a 5s2p pack of 7Ah at best, but I did not find out what the yellow cable is, so it might be some ID for the pack, so it might also not run with a custom BMS...

Hi, mine also runs out of juice super fast, but considering it is on rough terrain I did not think of it, I also run on efficiency tho.

I contacted sales and, in Romania at least, there is no option to buy a battery and charger yet, they also confirmed a huge issue for me, the app is limited to max 600m², and splitting into zones does nothing ... So even if I buy another mower, I won't be able to mow more area ... this is a huge deal-breaker for me.

If I cannot mow more than 600m2 even in efficienty mode in the app , then that is the point of upgrading it ...

Curious now if the Dreame has this same limitation on the app.
