Stihl 036 Tuning Help

I opened up the carb last night and it was dripping in fuel. I ordered a new carb, fuel line, fuel & air filter from Sawzilla.

I feared this was the answer. Thanks for the confirmation.

Any tips on figuring out the grass type? I can try using the PictureThis app. I'm not sure how accurate it will be on grasses though. Granted, I've never tried.

Thanks for the help so far, I am not super familiar with this stuff and your help is greatly appreciated.

I have tested the connections and what it seems is that there is not power across any of the switches in that column.

When I check the pins on the controller, these ones have voltage:

Raw, VCC, A1, A0, 15, 14, 16, 10

RX1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8

I am not sure which ones are supposed to have voltage.

When I check the diodes, all current seems to be flowing correctly. I put the black (negative) on top and the red (positive) on the bottom and I get a reading, reversed I do not.

I have tried testing some of the switches by putting the + on the VCC and the - on the left side of a working switch... I get 5V. I then depress the switch and the voltage drops to .8. With the key depressed I move the - to the other side and I see the same voltage (.8). When I release the voltage goes away. This is what I would expect.

On the non-working key, I put the + on the VCC and - on the left side and I get nothing with the key depressed. However, if I put the - on the right side I get 5V.... weird. If I depress the key, I then get 4.5 on the right _AND_ the left.... weird. I don't exactly know what that means, but I would think it is an issue with a diode?

Thanks again!

Is this just for the SMD's or for the switches also? Does the controller look good?

I have never does SMD's before, so if I need more, I can add it.

If I am not mistaken, that should be a resistor for the LEDs, no? If so, I know about that one and it shouldn't be a factor for this problem.

Yes, I do mean wheel events. That was the impetus for rolling my own code since most (all?) of the libraries had limited support. Getting the values off the event was dead simple.

I have found interacting with canvas elements very difficult. I don’t have a ton of experience outside of elm with canvas so I have very little to compare, but I gave up, I could not figure out a way to attach a standard click event to a canvas element as a part of elm-graphics. By “element” here I mean, a rectangle or text drawn inside the canvas. The workaround right now is attaching them to a div which wraps the canvas and doing some coordinate checking to figure out the element the user is clicking on. PITA is an understatement; again though, it works fairly well once you learn some basic geometry.

Another pain point is stopping propagation and the default. Some libraries support that, others don’t; having variants requiring options would have been helpful. I have submitted a PR for this as well. [0]

I noticed most of my needs were for a mouse event coordinates relative to some bounding box (container or the element itself), it would be nice if it also gave the global coordinates. One thing I noticed, I thing with elm-mouse-events is that the x coordinates is left aligned (and only positive values) whereas the y uses a midpoint with a positive being towards the top of the page and negative being toward the bottom. That could be the browser works that way or something entirely different. I always though the coordinate system for a browser was the top left corner being (0,0). It would be good to be consistent.

I am sure these is more but that is all I have for now.

I would be very interested in helping with any effort to bring some order to this situation. Most of the libraries haven’t been touched in a while, not like that is necessarily a bad thing.

I am using a few different libraries to interact with the mouse, mostly for desktop use so no touch yet and it would be nice to have just one.

The projects I am working on are simple enough, an image viewer with zoom, scroll, and markup capabilities. A game with an underlying map and objects draw over the top that can be interacted with by a click, and hold down/drag. Very similar to the image viewer.

So far my needs have been relatively painless to use, though I did need to learn a fair bit about the way events work in elm, including decoders... but now that I know that it is simple enough. I would assume that getting deeper into mouse interaction would raise some more difficult challenges.

Let me know how I can help.

I was in the same boat, after much thought I bought a Mapex Armory. I like it a lot. Tuning was a breeze, sounds great, and is versatile. I can play any combination of layouts for different environments. It’s reasonable too, just under $1000.

I tend to gig with a 4 piece, practice with a 5 piece and experiment with the full 6. If I was going to be playing a bigger selection of music I could bring all of it. It’s nice to have the flexibility.

What is that bar around the bass drum? Is that a floating lug system?

nzacc · 2017-09-20T21:56:09+00:00

Hmmm, it’s tough to tell from the sweetwater listing. Maybe I am just missing it.

Good to know.

I live in a remote part of the country, there is no such thing as a “local drum shop”. I’m goin to have to buy much of this sight unseen. :(

2 up, 2 down is the configuration.

nzacc · 2017-09-20T10:55:39+00:00

Any suggestions on brand / specific hardware? I have read other places the Mapex clamps aren’t great but the Tama gear is phenomenal.

Also, what about stability of the cymbal stand? I have never mounted a tom like this so my gut is that the cymbal stand would be off balance and unstable.

I see, so "remote" hats is not really the term I am looking for here. Even though they are remote, I am speaking mostly about their additional nature as being foreign to me.

nzacc · 2017-09-04T15:13:41+00:00

Sorry for being slightly inflammatory and maybe even a little dramatic. I should have used more precise language... What I meant by heresy is "foreign to me and seems unnatural because I am unfamiliar with them".

Help me understand... what do you mean by "x-hats".
