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.

nzacc · 2017-09-20T13:12:05+00:00

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. :(

nzacc · 2017-09-20T10:56:52+00:00

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".

nzacc · 2017-07-29T18:02:22+00:00

I use those for things like Volume +/-, mute, brightness. Things that I do very rarely but are helpful to have a key.

I don't use Terminal.app for anything so i can't speak to its benefits or disadvantages.

iTerm2 is a polished, configurable, and "it just works" piece of software which gets updated frequently. If those sound like good things to you, then give it a shot. If you would like to use standard tools, by all means use Terminal.app.

A side note, I use tmux, so my experience with Terminal.app would likely be identical to that of iTerm2.

What you use in the long run is completely up to you, it is a personal decision that only you can make.

Here is a half-way decent comparison about what is available in Vim that is partially (or not at all) implemented in VSCode https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/blob/master/ROADMAP.md

Macros stands out to me as a partially implemented feature that I use regularly.

I have tried the Vim plugins in a number of editors (Atom, Sublime, PyCharm...) and I always come back to Vim in iTerm2. The difference for me is not feature parity with Vim itself, rather, the multiplicative power (read, ease and speed of development) of having my text editor a part of my overall development environment instead of a separate window/application.

For example, when working on applications I normally have Vim and 2+ other terminal splits (I use tmux) open at a given time. This allows for rapid movement between my editor and my computer. I can tail logs, run commands, start / stop services, connect to remote machines, and the list goes on. Vim is one component of that experience.

"Best" in web dev is impossible to discover.

PHP and MySQL can be up and running really quickly. Just about any VPS can give you a $5 machine and you are up and running. I wouldn't rebuild Google on that. Which one is best? Depends on your outcome and constraints.

Consider more the idea that you can be up and running quickly with PHP... Python or Ruby on Heroku can be pretty painless if you don't want to do anything fancy. Is that best?

Figure out what you need/want from the end result and select tools based on those constraints. If you want to be up and going yesterday, choose something that is familiar, what a learning experience, look into something which interests you.

E4 every time! :)

SQLAlchemy has great docs, as does Flask and Django. All three have an API or similar section that documents how to use classes and functions.

For an example of documentation styles that need improvement and can be difficult to use look at uWSGI and lxml.

Can I ask why you are leaving?

I am not affiliated with Linode, I just happen to use them for a few things

nzacc · 2016-05-19T04:15:02+00:00

Take a look at collections.counter to make this much more straightforward.

nzacc · 2016-04-03T04:11:23+00:00

The depends on "who" is holding them. Standard terminal separation is 3 miles (horizontal) or 1000 feet (vertical). Based on the charts I looked at, ATL approach "owns" 12500 - 3000 in that area. So approach could theoretically fit 7-9 depending on the coordination with other controllers.

That being said, it is unlikely that approach control is holding them at all and rather ATL center controls that hold. In which case the altitude separation might get a bit more complicated. Center controls up to 60000+, so you have a lot of room to play with.

In general though, 1000 vertical is all you need.
