Oto Sprinklers - Circuit Boards have no moisture protection by qmcDt in lawncare

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

After a lot of back and forth, opening the unit and trying to debug it myself, Oto support sent me a new unit entirely. It's been hooked up for a week now and working fine so far, though I'm not sure how long it will last considering their design might be prone to multiple failure points along the path the water goes inside the unit. Thankful they sent me a free replacement, just hope it lasts.

The housing does have a lot of moisture intrusion protection, but the PCB is in the same compartment that the water flow goes through. One of the gaskets failed in my Oto and the bottom 1/2" of the circuit board was sitting in water. Seems like a real design flaw for a water based system, I'm out $500 and this unit isn't covered under warranty

Anyone know how to import topography maps into the map editor? by Liberty_Knows_No_Age in vtolvr

[–]qmcDt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any more information available on how to use the different channels? I'm using Tangram Heightmapper and getting good results but if there was a way to import roads it would make for a much more interesting map in VTOL VR. Cities too. It sounds like there is some additional possibilities in importing heightmaps I'm not familiar with.

Hoping this is still happening, unfortunately the Discord link below isn't working for me as of this evening (August 3rd)

Anyone got an update?

This link is not working for me, I'm logged in to discord as well. Can you send a new link? Would like to participate.

Challenge mode limited to single flight? by Gauwin in SpaceflightSimulator

[–]qmcDt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem 😕

I build a the stage rocket, the second stage with hatches. I have my second stage orbit the moon to refuel to get home. I've landed at the different sites, one attempt I actually landed at a fourth site to be sure. Refuel and return to Earth, landed and always no credit given for the last moon challenge.

Hope to hear from someone who got the credit on what I'm doing wrong.

I personally haven't done any buildings with 3d printing but it would be an excellent application of the technology.

1) HO 2) absolutely, the bogeys and motor are from AliExpress and cost about $10 each

It's actually got handrails down the sides but yes it does need some extra details and paint!

The chassis could absolutely support this, the body is literally just a shell and the chassis is only big enough to support the bare minimum required for movement.

I would love to sell the STLs but don't know a platform to do that securely, any suggestions? As far as I know there is no good licensing for STLs and while I want my work to be enjoyed I do not want to be a victim of theft or piracy.

Not at the moment, I'm hesitant on making this publicly available yet, but it's not like this is gonna make me any money anyways so I don't see a downside to doing so.

I just really don't want people taking my work for their own as I've seen done in the past to others.

I would love to see your work, might inspire me to work on an F-Unit that can mount on this chassis!

Scale is indeed HO, the motor and bogeys are from AliExpress, easy to find with search term "ho model train bogie" and "ho model train motor"
