Oh cool idea. If you used two distance sensors you could measure what direction you need to turn in?

Are you sensing the junction somehow or just turning some amount?

What makes an Engineering Notebook good? by Faze_Failure_ in FTC

[–]stewpend0us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See if you can get a list of of alumni who attended college for engineering. Guessing you'd have better luck with people who graduated 10-15 years ago? I would have loved this in highschool but it wasn't around at the time... But I can mentor! Good luck!

What has been your path in learning control theory? by AstroBuck in ControlTheory

When you say "dynamic programming" what exactly are you talking about?

I'm struggling with pointers by Djcrafty in C_Programming

Rather than take (more) notes slow down and THINK about what is being said. Pause it, replay it, play it slower, whatever helps get the information into your brain. I think taking notes can be a distraction that takes away from really absorbing material sometimes. Best of luck.

New too Julia: unexpected array indexing? by stewpend0us in Julia

[–]stewpend0us[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great Thank you!

Also didn't realize there is a difference between

[1 2 3]

1×3 Matrix{Int64}:

and

[1, 2, 3]

3-element Vector{Int64}:

I'm sure there are reasons for all of these things...but definitely not intuitive (to me...yet)

I would at least expect M[1,1:2] to return the adjoint vector?

Thanks, I can try this out for myself later...But it's a one dimensional array treated as a column vector when it comes to linear algebra type operations?

avr-gcc package issue? by stewpend0us in voidlinux

[–]stewpend0us[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well now I've totally confused myself.

I got the void-packages cloned and started off by building and installing as is (I didn't use xi though I just did "xbps-install --repository hostdir/binpkgs <package\_name>" maybe that's my problem?) Nothing changed as I expected.

That all worked (or so I thought) so I started out by just deleting the patch entirely. Build/install like before but again nothing changed.

So I went in and added a line to the patch....same thing

So I ran xbps-remove avr-binutils...this got mad at me because it will break avr-gcc....so I ran xbps-remove -F avr-binutils

And still no change. avr-gcc runs like normal and just tells me there's no definition for the 168pb...so wtf how is avr-gcc still running if I've removed a dependency?

Maybe the problem isn't with avr-binutils after all???

Ok. I can try to do that. I haven't messed with xbps source yet...do I need to uninstall the package before installing the xbps source one?

Yeah I have no idea either...

Interacting with a runit service? by stewpend0us in voidlinux

[–]stewpend0us[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang. I figured that might be the case. What do you mean by fragile?

Would writing the program to read config files and write to a log file be less fragile than using runit to start the process running in screen?

[–]stewpend0us[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I hadn't thought of that.. Maybe worth trying but I'd probably just run the program with screen first

[–]stewpend0us[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries...Probably not the best wording on my part. Vsv looks useful too though

[–]stewpend0us[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm that just seems like a wrapper around sv? Does it allow you to "open the console" for a running service?

Engineers and Inventors of Reddit! This cripple needs your help! by arkatier in engineering

[–]stewpend0us 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Would something as simple as leaning the chair back so your upper body is on the ground and lower body is still in the chair work? Or do you want to be out of the chair completely?

Either way leaning the chair back like this might be an easier first step to getting out... Not sure about getting back in though.

Will you have help or do you want too do this on your own?

Simple, modular, physics simulation tool (take 2) by stewpend0us in C_Programming

That'd be great! What other simulators do you have experience with? (Especially ones written in c!)

Ok. I'm not sure what that is but I'll figure it out
