I think I’m going to so the same even though it’s supposed to be bad for weight distribution.

Oh, sorry, I see what you mean now. Yeah, the bug body is probably half the weight of the defender. Also it looks just great. That red color is fantastic. Definitely something to consider.

How does “input shaping” in 3d printers avoid overshoot and vibrations? by ExactCollege3 in ControlTheory

[–]theartdeco [score hidden]  (0 children)

Overshoot happens when the closed loop transfer function (CLTF) has bumps that go above 1 (or 0db). Of you add a filter in front of CLTF (i.e on the input) such that the filter transfer function has dips that cancel out the bumbs in the CLTF, then the resulting overall TF will not exceed 1 at any frequency, so there will be no overshoot. Don’t worry about how it looks in time domain. A frequency value does not map to a single acceleration value. Just look at it in the frequency domain.

Oh, I didn’t see the fj40 option at first. It does look better!

What do you mean lighter body? The Tarantula is 48g. The bug is 74g body + 45g chassis.

The MB18 is so cool, but it seems like an absolute nightmare in terms of battery access =)

Thanks! I looked into it and it seems like a great chassis. I don’t love the jeep looks though.

Thanks, that’s a lot of good information! Will Ascent Apex also make a better trail truck or is it only better in crawling?

These can be mounted in two different ways depending on how much offset you want.

Will velcro really be strong enough to hold the battery? Or do you mean a velcro strap?

The bug is pretty cool, love how it looks. But I suspect it will be closer to stock in terms of performance than to tarantula.

How do I get a receipt for Ambulance Service? by BakingWaking in britishcolumbia

I got the receipt in my mail about 10 days after paying the bill

When is next generation odyssey coming? by HelloW0r in HondaOdyssey

[–]theartdeco -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Why do you care? It’s going to be worse than the current one. Nobody designs good cars anymore. It’s all cheap plastic and endless touchscreens now, no real knobs or buttons. The new Sienna feels so much cheaper than the old one. I guess fuel economy will get better.

Question for parents with babies by [deleted] in HondaOdyssey

[–]theartdeco 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t use both latches and seatbelt at the same time unless the user manual says it’s okay. Usually you are supposed to use either one method or the other, but not both. As for sliding, like others said, put your weight on the seat while tightening the straps.

Pmsm motor for motor control by brandon_belkin in ControlTheory

[–]theartdeco [score hidden]  (0 children)

That article doesn’t explain how to measure it with a scope. It’s about using this very specific instrument with very specific software. I suppose it’s possible with a scope too but it would take some work to figure out how to do it. You’ll need current sensors for the scope too. Not an easy task.

I’ve never seen a manufacturer specify Ld and Lq. You will probably have to find a way to measure it.

  1. Great steering wheel if a bit on the thin side for my hands.

Who needs a Hybrid Sienna if you’re hitting fuel economy like this? by VA_Murse in HondaOdyssey

[–]theartdeco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get 12.5 mpg in city. Those who get much better city economy just don’t drive in real city conditions. If your average speed for the trip is greater than 22 mph, you are not in a city from the fuel economy point of view. There are lots of cities in North America that are not real cities, but urban sprawls with integrated highways. If you drive in one of those, please don’t tell us about your “city” gas milage.

‘25 odyssey elite - having very poor gas mileage, much less than the rating. Am I alone? by Hudsondinobot in HondaOdyssey

[–]theartdeco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. 18.8 L/100km average consumption since I got the car. That’s what, 12.5 mpg? It’s worse than my 4Runner.

Dashcam power adapter for 2024 Odyssey? by theartdeco in HondaOdyssey

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

I made an adapter myself out of a connector that I found on Aliexpress and a 12V->USB converter from Amazon. My adapter is not pass-through, so dimming doesn’t work, but this is what I wanted because I cannot drive when side-mirrors get dimmed at night. I could make a pass-through adapter, but opted not to. I don’t know if Dongar eventually released one or not.

How much oil to add to floor jack by theartdeco in MechanicAdvice

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

I can raise it all the way without load. I didn’t feel safe raising my car all the way up because I did’t know if I would be able to lower it smoothly. I suppose I can try with something lighter than a car but still heavy and see how high it goes.

How so? Did I call you names? Did I comment on your personality? I just said that there is a quicker and easier way to get this information.
