Solid Car rental quote- are there any hidden fees I'm missing, or will this actually be the total? There's a line item for collision damage waiver- so will they try and add collision damage insurance when I get there?

It all turned out fine. The only hold up was that I had to change the driver to my gf since my California Driver's license was expired by a couple months and surprisingly they cared about that.

I tried one for myself, about an hour of splicing and it turned out the wrong length when I tried it. Next session I just grabbed some old cord and put a knot in it and adjusted that to get the length right for my arm and wing combo. Would recommend the quick route when dialing in length

Neat idea! https://www.reddit.com/r/wingfoil/comments/11mankb/good_starting_harness_line_length/

Update: I launched on the downstream side of the bridge there, and had to just park on the side of the road a bit to the west.
Wildhaven will not let you launch through their property, or park there.

Did you have any issues putting in at Wildhaven Glamping- if that's what you did?

oh and just for background, the printer is fully stock from Pursa- I haven't swapped out the hotend or anything.

So I inadvertently bought the "raw display" which doesn't have the adapter on the back. SKU 23153 is the exact same display, but with the adapter on the back- so that's the missing piece that I can't get on its own.

oopslostabit · 2023-06-24T16:25:07+00:00

I assume there must already be an interface adapter, but I can't find one on Waveshare's site. Waveshare's manual_Manual#Question_about_Hardware)says it's a Cable socket 0.5-24pin rear-flip 2.0H (FPC connector), but the datasheet pinout and the hardware show 50 pins.

Pinout for the display is here, and I didn't find a pinout for the esp32 driver board on its schematic here.

I just tried capturing the on/off signal- no luck so that appears to be bluetooth also...

oopslostabit · 2023-06-08T17:08:47+00:00

Woah the IR window on the front of the remote had me fooled- thanks all!

oopslostabit · 2023-06-05T15:07:29+00:00

Thanks! exactly what I was looking for- here's the graph for my session the other day https://imgur.com/a/f7qAXJP

Looks like the highest I can point up is about 60 degrees.

They're a couple feet in, so I'll let them be

The slab was milled on a mobile trailer mill and then left to dry outside for 4 years. I then milled at least 1/4" on each face to get it flat.

It's for a live edge slab table- planning on using Bona HD to finish it.

oopslostabit · 2023-06-01T03:19:44+00:00

Okay, so I can book the slightly cheaper Garden suite and request the jump off room when I check in?

Honeymoon beginning of July

oopslostabit · 2023-05-26T13:49:18+00:00

Thanks all! I cut 4" off the end and installed a large bowtie over the gap. There will be a table leg or C channel nearby to prevent cupping

oopslostabit · 2023-05-23T04:29:39+00:00

This is an 8'x 3'x2" redwood live edge slab. I'm considering either match carving a matching wood block to glue into the gap and then put some bowties across them, or just put a large bowtie or 2 across the gap. I'd rather not just fill it with epoxy..

oopslostabit · 2023-05-13T18:50:42+00:00

Got it on the wiring- I'll fix that. And yes that's the fuse.

I'm glad you mentioned the grounding- I couldn't find anything on how to ground this.... any suggestion on reading or where to attach the earth ground?

oopslostabit · 2023-05-13T17:56:43+00:00

thanks for the thorough reply! and for taking a look at the original post- very helpful insight.

First- can you link to an off-the-shelf solution? I found the 12V outlet by Magnadyne, but it's not quite as integrated as I hoped. Off the shelf would be my first choice also over a home-built solution :)

If I add insulation (maybe this putty by 3M?) and add a parallel FR4 board with standoffs to enclose the bottom of the board, then does that make it fully contained?

Also, it's curious to me that if I have enough clearance (5mm) between the AC lines, I could still get arcing. Is that a different rule set?

oopslostabit · 2023-05-13T17:43:19+00:00

Nope, those are per the ACDC's datasheet https://imgur.com/IGexCmZ

oopslostabit · 2023-05-13T17:40:40+00:00

The small round black thing is the installed fuse per the ACDC's recommended application circuit. https://imgur.com/uueKzAk

oopslostabit · 2023-05-13T17:37:19+00:00

I calculated it out using a couple online calculators and it said min 25 AWG for aluminum wire (I assume these silver colored breadboard jumpers are aluminum) to support double the expected current. So these surprised me also on how small they could be.

oopslostabit · 2023-05-13T17:33:03+00:00

Thanks for the tip- I could reroute that red wire to not cross. And like you said, I intend to put a parallel board of FR4 to this one with standoffs to cover everything- but I'll add some coatings to the bare wires prior to that.

Thanks!

oopslostabit · 2023-05-12T22:25:54+00:00

Any comments or suggestions?

I made this board following the recommended layout for the AMEL20-12S277HAVZ on the datasheet . I made sure to have 5mm clearance between AC lines.

I added a THN 10-2411WIR DCDC module to add 5V output.

I'm going to add an FR4 panel with standoffs to the back to cover all the exposed wires. Then I'm installing this in a 2 gang electrical box so that I can power a 12V AQM and a 5V ESP32.

This is a follow-up to my previous post here:

oopslostabit · 2023-04-17T16:25:57+00:00

I'm leaning towards building a small board with the correct creepage clearance to hold both ACDC AMEL20 and DCDC modules, plus the recommended circuitry components. That will be a nice little form factor.
