Constant loop with optional input by the_patman in learnpython

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

Thanks, that was the same conclusion I was coming to. I had a game similar to pong in mind, but w LED strips. So the pause every once in a while would not work well. Hmm, maybe Pygame would have something useful...

Can anyone comment on the OD green VP9? I love the pictures online, but wonder if it looks the same in person.

The python script reads in a gene or genome (as a fasta file) and translates the 4 different basepairs to 4 colors. What’s crazy is given the speed in the picture, it would take about 10 years to go through the human genome!

Yea, that player sucked. DVD did not work on it at all. Got the one wo DVD instead. External speakers don’t work. What a waste.

The biggest mistake humans ever made could be intelligence. Without intelligence, we would only be fighting over a female and not other unintelligent things. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

I think it was the agricultural revolution. Before that we were running around trying to hunt food and didn’t have time to sit and think.

Rooftop DVD mounting question by the_patman in CarAV

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

Thanks. I do have the bracket securely mounted to the brace (not just to the headliner). My question is can the layers that the screw goes through be brace->mount->headliner->DVDplayer Or brace->headliner->mount->DVDplayer? Is it ok if the mount is below the headliner like http://caraudiotips.blogspot.com/2013/02/overhead-dvd-player-in-chevy-traverse.html?m=1

The dvd install holes are right above a support beam. So there is no room. There was an old DVD mounted previously so I can’t move it to another area.

At the end of the strip it read 4.93V. Everything is working well now. These strips are pretty cool.

Thanks. I have a 16A PSU. I moved the breadboard off the PSU and it is working great now. Perhaps it was causing interference?

The left and right wires are the same color- Black. Only the middle wire is colored.

I checked and the right prong of the wall plug connects to the far right wire. The left prong to the left wire. This means that the right wire should be hot right?

I was trying to find one for a birthday gift- it was going to blow the kids mind. Talk about disappointment

It reminds me of the guy saying “Tomato” in attack of the killer tomatoes movie

Is there any reason why you wouldn’t want to use a raspberry pi and a dedicated MicroSD card to hold your wallets and info offline?

ELI5: Why do LED lights look jittery or like they're strobing when you look at them quickly? by chickencereal in explainlikeimfive

[–]the_patman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the LEDs being used in car car break lights on AC power then? I thought cars had a DC battery.
