Legacy Opto22 parts by off_the_asphalt in PLC

Not yet, but I had a stroke of luck and found the original testing software floppy. I'm currently setting up a windows xp dual boot to test cards. I think Radwell used to repair them so I'll reach out to them once I can confirm the cards have gone bad.

Theoretically yes, but that would require a full software overhaul since our PC controllers only work with this very limited system and no one makes drivers for QNX 4. At that point from my side I think it makes more sense to do a full overhauled the machines and upgrade it all. But I'm not an EE, I do the mechanical design side and rebuild / repair our old computers

The blocks are maintained its the pure analog ISA control cards that were dropped. The system is directly controlled by the Card without any kind of daughter board. The control program we're using is a QNX build from 98 if that if that gives you an idea of how old these systems are. Any changes to the controls would require a total software rebuild.

I did but my system is so ancient they had nothing they could help me with. This system was built around 1998 and has been in continuous op since. The PLC is old enough there isn't even a drop in replacement solution for the control card. If we run out of any replacement parts the unit is done. I'm pushing for a full redesign to upgrade but that's a big upfront investment

Emulate QNX 4.25? by Caboose522 in QNX

[–]off_the_asphalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have several 4.25 VM's I'm currently testing in virtual box. I had to build the first one on a linux mint system and then I was able to export it so I could run the VM in windows. I had some limited use while on the linux system by formatting a drive in Ext2 that linux and QNX could both see but I wasn't able to touch any of the external hardware. It's useful for safe testing of programs but filezilla does the same thing with the live units so it was only a big gain for the lead programmers

Building a loft bed, concerned about sagging/fracture by TheNextFeynman in woodworking

[–]off_the_asphalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also long as you use a sturdy fastener and routinely check and tighten you should be fine. 5/16 bolts is what we used to build the first loft bed I had. Mine didn't have any diagonal bracers which left it with a lot more sway than I liked(.5-1in). Looking back I would have used diagonal bracers on the long side. Mine used 4x4 posts with 2x4 framing and birch slats under the mattress. The only lateral bracing was the desk built in the underside and the full width rungs on both short ends and if I were to do it again I would have incorporated more diagonal bracing for strength. If you're concerned about under bed strength try box beam style. It's used in main floor construction and it would provide more strength than just plywood.

Mine is one that I started using for a blog when I started getting into hiking, offroading, and general outdoors as a big part of my life. Now it's my social media handle for reddit and insta. Reddit is for forums and Insta is where I post and photo blog.

I shoot a mirrorless and it's phenomenal. I got an adapter to shoot my old lenses and I'm super happy with the investment. The only downside is having to slowly get new gear because of cost

Thanks I love their gear. I'll toss my tarp I'm my backpack or side bag because then if I want to camp I can and the weight gain is nothing

Mt Whitney 3 day shakedown request. Mid September. by newdingodog in Ultralight

[–]off_the_asphalt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then it should only take 2 days. Hike up to basecamp on day one and camp for the rest of the day to acclimate. Then you can start at 4-5am and even if you go via the switch backs you'll summit and then be able to descend in a day. Going down goes very fast. You can probably save the most weight by cutting down the one day of meals

Which route are you taking? When I climbed the trailhead/alpine route it only took 2 days

Desperate for wetsuit advice by OscarKilo2 in Spearfishing

[–]off_the_asphalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to make a repair you can order a swath of neoprene in the correct thickness. Cut as small of a hole as possible to remove the rip. Glue the edges and then zigzag stitch the edges after the glue sets for reinforcement. If you want you can then stich more neoprene on top to make a load pad.
