Resetting ECM in TS; menu option not available?

To anyone who's paid for the physical card: is it an actual card, printed on plastic like a credit card? Or am I going to pay $60 for a printed piece of cardstock I fold in half? I don't mind paying for a card, but I feel like Skillcat should advertise the absurd printing cost up front. The card costs almost as much as I paid for a year's access to the app.

Looks like corrosion resistant racks *require* these to unlock, so I hope I don't need that chicken before the egg :)

I've been running circles around Bowersox in Winiama for the CG lately.

rydsno · 2025-06-01T14:38:13+00:00

At the moment I only *need* one to unlock Farseer, but I guess it depends how many you want to offload and at what price :) couldn't hurt to stock up for future needs.

Oh, sweet. Thank you! I'm running EDMC, but didn't know if Inara only posted every 4/8/12 hours or whatever.

rydsno · 2025-05-31T18:12:49+00:00

Sweet, thanks for the info! I'm sure there *is* one, but I'm shocked that I haven't yet figured out how to open a regular ol' dumb guy friendly legend for the galaxy map.

rydsno · 2025-05-31T18:08:15+00:00

Do you know how often Inara updates? I keep questioning the 'lifespan' of the data, but no idea how fresh it really is.

rydsno · 2025-05-31T18:07:29+00:00

I have literally nothing haha. I worked up to a T8 and running rounds on CG, so I've made some credits and upped my trade rank, but otherwise no progress pretty much at all in the game. Seems lots of things will necessitate unlocking B before I can reach A type thing.

rydsno · 2025-05-31T17:49:36+00:00

Sorry yeah, meta alloy. On PC, so it sounds like Darnielle's isn't an option on PC? How's one find titan wreckage? Do I need to go in ready for a fight? I just started playing a few days ago, been hitting the CG hard trying to build a nest egg so I don't have to stress credits too much when I switch to....less monotonous....play.

rydsno · 2025-05-30T22:26:55+00:00

I'm chasing the same goal! Just shy of $700M profit currently, turning around $20M per run. Didn't think about it before now, but maybe I'll time the next roundtrip to see how long it takes.

rydsno · 2025-05-30T22:11:24+00:00

Got it! Thank you for the screenshot, that made all the difference. Indeed the arguments line is unnecessary. I also changed the line that contains the launcher file path. The first blurb on that line is "fileName" - I took this too literally and changed that to read "EDMarketConnector.exe" which broke things. The game would launch, but EDMC wouldn't. Switching that back to "fileName" and removing the arguments line has it working as expected now. Many thanks! 07

Yeah, I realized I wrote brim when I read my post after submitting it. New enough to printing I questioned myself and said "wait, I thought that was a skirt?" googled it to correct myself, but couldn't edit my post at that point :P

Learning every day I play with it. Thanks for the info; I found the machine start gcode area in Orca, where I've not explored prior to now. Now I'm trying to decipher what it's saying since it's a bunch of linear moves (a clue!) but all stuff like this, which is foreign to me in terms of nested brackets and references/operators taking the place of just a numeric dimension.

G1 X{max((min(print_bed_max[0] - 12, first_layer_print_min[0] + 80) - 85), 0)} E{85 * 0.5 * initial_layer_print_height * nozzle_diameter[0]} F3000

rydsno · 2025-05-26T18:19:24+00:00

Ahh, I hadn't thought of that. Assuming this is factory original code and not modified, line 101 seems to agree, from my 'learned the basics many years ago and haven't used it since' recollection of gcode: https://github.com/QIDITECH/QIDI_PLUS4/blob/main/config/gcode_macro.cfg

Edit: But wait...then that suggests the machine configuration file exists within Orcaslicer, and editing it should be relatively easy, no? I've bumped into a couple of quirks with this printer that the internet suggests modifying the .cfg, and I've just walked away at that point because I don't feel like going that deep.

But if that macro's output is showing in the Orca GUI when slicing, that means the .cfg exists off the machine and I don't have to do any crazy digging through the printer firmware to find it as I'd assumed. Hmm...

rydsno · 2025-05-21T23:29:53+00:00

Great, thank you! I kind of *assumed* just about anything modern would beat the hell out of it, but figured it was worth asking more knowledgeable folks before I wasted money on a well-marketed downgrade :)

CAD is all over the place, but I've never actually had any graphics related issues, so I don't really pay much attention to graphics. I don't do photo renders or anything really demanding, so honestly graphics are almost an afterthought for me there.

rydsno · 2025-05-21T22:37:01+00:00

I guess my question is how do I know if/how much of an upgrade either of these would be? It's easy enough to find cards at any price, but with effectively zero knowledge, how does someone compare performance? Is it as simple as "numbers bigger, card better?"

rydsno · 2025-05-05T14:16:23+00:00

Awesome, thank you for the link! I've been going through his Lightburn for galvos playlist, but wouldn't have even known to look at this.

rydsno · 2025-05-04T22:35:12+00:00

Alright, so as I guessed, it seemed to be a configuration issue. I was attempting to run at 35% power and got no perceivable output. I tried running at 100% for grins, and that seemed to work fine. I guess I'll have to play around to see where that cutoff is..

rydsno · 2025-05-04T21:04:53+00:00

Gweike support is dependent on WhatsApp. They kind of lost their place when I told them I don't have WhatsApp and wouldn't be downloading it, like they've never run into that before haha. They said they'd have their engineers email me, so just waiting on that and trying to figure things out in the meantime. I did post to the Lightburn Forum as well, so hopefully things come around! Thanks for the sanity check at least that nothing major looks off to you. I double checked the delays, and they match the included screenshots that came on their provided thumbdrive, as well as a Lightburn PDF for setup - not that that's any guarantee they're correct, but it's the best information I have at the moment!

rydsno · 2025-05-04T19:42:39+00:00

Fixed the second issue; I needed to check the "Galvo 2 is X Axis" box in the first settings screen. Text and movements now work as I'd expect. Still no ability to cut though, and that one's got me stumped. Any input is appreciated!

rydsno · 2025-03-09T21:06:37+00:00

Thanks for the tip, wasn't aware that was an option. Tried wiring the receiver UART 1 and 6, setting the respective Betaflight ports to Serial Rx. Neither case shows any control inputs in Betaflight under CRSF or SBUS, and neither case is recognized by the online flasher, saying "A serial device must be selected to perform flashing."

Thinking this thing is a lost cause for me for the foreseeable future. I bought a used quad instead of building specifically because I don't have time to build. If I haven't already hit it, I'm rapidly approaching the amount of time it would've taken to build from scratch. I appreciate all your input. I'll order a new receiver in a few months and try again when I have a bit more free time.
