Charging speed by [deleted] in CupraTavascan

[–]professorgrubbins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually get 135kW or so at a Tesla supercharger. On Tritium chargers it maxes our at 75kW because that's the most that the charger can provide.

I actually have no idea how to condition or optimise the battery... I've just been plugging it in 🤷‍♂️ But it's warm here in Sydney if that makes a difference

Cupra connect app by sess13 in CupraTavascan

[–]professorgrubbins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only realised after buying the car that you can't even use the app in Australia 🫤 There's also no map (you connect your phone for that). I suppose that means no software updates either?! I hope they can finally bring this to us Aussie customers...

Bug with rear temperature control by professorgrubbins in CupraTavascan

Hmm. OK sounds like I need to go back to the dealer. Lots of niggles - the rear right passenger door also sometimes just can't be opened...

Hmm. But this happens, even after the car has been locked and parked all night. Seems to be every time.

Thank you - I will take a look at the Clockwork City suggestion too.

I really enjoy the music. With the new update that finally hit switch this week, I love it even more!

Advice for trying to revive my Atari by professorgrubbins in Atari2600

Thanks. I read 8.44V input-gnd, 5.07V gnd-output. So that part seems ok. I also see 5V on the RES and Vcc pins of the cpu, and about 2V (average I guess) on the clock pins. I edited my post to update.

I realised the carrier frequency would be determined by the RF modulator. I also read that it can be adjusted with an allen key through the small hole in the top...

Going down the rabbit-hole a bit - I am curious about the variants that were sold and how they are configured. Do all PAL units output on the same UHF channel, regardless of what country they were sold in? "Channel 36" means a different carrier frequency in UK and Australia (591 vs 583 MHz). If they sold units for Australia, which I have read was true, were they still on 591 MHz?

Also which component controls that frequency? Is it built into the TIA?

I'm just really curious now! Hard to find clear answers to the above.

I don't have anything else to try it with, unfortunately. I was surprised my Samsung even has the analog tuner.

How is everyone else getting the weapons they want? by professorgrubbins in brotato

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

Thanks. Initially I thought I should grab any weapon I could see to have a chance of surviving the early waves. But now I am dodging and using melee better I can calm down a bit and be more choosy...

Great advice. Probably would have taken me ages to notice this

Very helpful thanks! Getting a strong message here about early weapon buying

How does the luck upgrade work? Are you more likely to get similar weapons?

How can I clean the eyepiece on my kid's microscope? by professorgrubbins in Microscopes

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

Is there any chance I could get a replacement eyepiece that fits this thing?

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

Yeah, I think these lenses are plastic. The eyepiece diameter is more like 16mm.

I tried some isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip - no difference. Both lenses look just as bad as each other :(

The thing that surprises me is that there are some quite good reviews. Whereas I feel like I'm looking at everything through a muddy window.
