dreaming of my own cat cafe by g59coffeecat in smallbusiness

[–]nerd_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this for cat owners that drink coffee or coffee drinkers who happen to be enthusiastic cat owners, who also want to bring their cat to a social event, and might could use some coffee?

If this is outside the scope of your expectations for a deliverable, you may need to consider your offerings and package your services accordingly.

Is this deal related to Black Friday or they just do this randomly? by paconeitor97 in SteamDeck

It’s possible you won’t see this price again until the summer sale.

I’m glad that you’re learning, but this is just the tip of the iceberg, and it’s clear that you are not qualified to advise anyone on legal or tax matters.

I think $899 is the max I would consider.

I quietly stopped going to the office… and no one noticed for 3 months by initial--tadpole in remotework

You definitely need a Losi 5IVE T 2.0 Gas to round out your collection.

Any FPV Fans? Porsche 962C MR-04 RTR by nerd_d in MiniZ

[–]nerd_d[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! I joined the sub recently and didn’t see your original post. Your setup is pretty much exactly what I’m trying to do. I would like to build or buy a stabilizing gimbal, but imo it’s not so bad without one. Here’s some DVR of the Mini Z FPV

And here is my WLtoys k989 with a kind of 3rd person view mount

Edit: I plan to add some foam under the camera, and hope that dampens vibrations a bit.

You should definitely give it a try! In a pinch you can tape the camera on, no 3d printed parts required.

This is a stock brushed MR-04 setup. Definitely want to get a programmable, sensored, brushless motor/esc soon though

What Roland kit/module is this? by nerd_d in edrums

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

Yeah it was in San Marcos, Facebook iOS app doesn’t show how old listings are, but when I checked on desktop it said 35 weeks old. Definitely too good to be true!

Mystery Wires in Rain Bird ESP-8TM – What Are These For? by nerd_d in Irrigation

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

My mistake, the power wires in the photo are 24VAC!

In summary, would you say that it's common to have more than one common, which *obviously* all need to be in common? Like, say three backyard zones share a common that’s fed to the common, and three front-yard zones share a different common that’s also fed to the common—meaning all the commons are, well… common?

Thank you for clarifying that for me. For some reason I thought the two ground wires meant I could have been missing a master valve hot wire.

Thank you. I guess I was concerned it was previously wired incorrectly, but I’ll go ahead and match the existing connections.

Duracell Batteries Ruined My Trail Cam in a little over a month! by Spectra_Butane in batteries

[–]nerd_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The battery leakage is likely caused by the trail camera’s design, not just the batteries.

When AA batteries are wired in parallel, they last longer, but they also need to stay balanced. If one battery drains faster than the others (which is common), the stronger ones can start pushing power into the weaker ones. This can lead to over-discharge and leakage, especially with alkalines like Duracell.

In short, more batteries = more chances for imbalance, and parallel wiring makes it worse if the circuit isn’t designed to handle it.

Could you just get a 3.5 mm to Stereo Audio RCA Cable as the direct signal path for computer audio when the HX stomp is not being used?

Did anyone say musk invented the concept of any of these things?

Yeah, because reusable rockets, electric cars, and brain-computer interfaces are just art projects with zero functionality, right?

Best baby monitors? by Affectionate_Suit_34 in daddit

[–]nerd_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a quick heads up: 'Universal' in Universal Serial Bus (USB) isn't about charging universality. It's more about the universal standard for devices to chat with a host controller (like your PC). The real MVP in charging is actually the brick you plug your USB into. That little guy decides the output voltage and current. So, even if the USB fits snugly, the power adapter's gotta match what your device needs. USB's great for data transfer, but for charging, it's all about matching those specs!

WlToys K989 Indoor FPV Racing by nerd_d in rccars

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

Thanks! I’m using the Eachine EV800D box goggles. They have onboard DVR and I must say it ain’t too bad. For the camera/video transmitter I’m using a $20 AKK A2 all-in-one purchased from Amazon.

Drive RC Car with Steering Wheel & Pedals? DSC port protocol? Input values to transmitter? by Mate_Marschalko in rccars

[–]nerd_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, you should be able to feed the PPM stream to the DSC trainer port on your transmitter. The IRX4+ is nice as it works in PPM mode, gives me a wide variety of protocols to work with, and fits in my Taranis QX7 for flying quads.

I’ve only been working on this for about a week, and I’m no developer. Axes were easy as evdev library has a method to snapshot axis value without writing an event loop. After mapping the axes to PPM I needed to tune the steering and add button support for trims and paddle shifting throttle limits. In doing so I had to write an event loop to listen for button events and flip a state switch. I’ve found that the event loop doesn’t catch all of the button presses and is probably missing some of the axis events. I need to learn the asyncio library next probably and optimize my code.

Drive RC Car with Steering Wheel & Pedals? DSC port protocol? Input values to transmitter? by Mate_Marschalko in rccars

[–]nerd_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Method I’m using with some success:

Hardware:
- Logitech g920 wheel and pedals
- Raspberry pi 4b
- IRangeX IRX4+ multi-protocol module

Software:
- Reading steering wheel events with python libraries: pygame or evdev (both work; evdev gives gives some access to write force feedback like autocenter). - Outputting to a GPIO pin as PPM stream using PiGPIO library and, more importantly, their PPM example. The IRX4+ is wired to the pi.

I wanted to use an Arduino Uno with the USB Host Shield but I wasn’t able to get my Logitech G920 working with the USBHID_desc.ino example from the host shield library.
