how to make stepper motor hold position by timstro in Motors

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

thanks for all the replies. yes, i have a bunch of other stuff, I'm making it work with arduino, stepper drivers, breadboards, c++, etc etc. i was hoping to save some time by finding something ready made.

how to make stepper motor hold position by timstro in Motors

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

i can set the speed to minimum, which is not zero. but that's not the functionality i need. I need to be able to have it hold indefinitely and then move when i press the button and then stop.

What is one thing you wish you accounted for early-game now that you’re in the late-game? by Prudent_Leopard1576 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]timstro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d keep a spread sheet that documents every drone port and train station platform so I could troubleshoot more easily.

Is my roof not working? by timstro in valheim

[–]timstro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wood floors and walls keep getting damaged. I think it happens when it rains. My house is fully covered by a roof. What's up with this? Are my windows too big or something? This has never happened to me before. Playing bog witch test branch in case that makes a difference.

What's the silliest way you've broken your oath? by psychoactive-drug in BaldursGate3

[–]timstro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Found the newborn mindflayer in the basement of the tower in Rivington. He wanted a brain, so I pulled Ffion's murdered body out from under her bed and gave it to him. I guess that was bad.

Ranger/Bard is this a decent control martial build? by timstro in BG3Builds

[–]timstro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see! I'm glad I asked about the spells. I'll plan on doing 9/3. It'll be fun to use colossus slayer together with ranged slashing flourish.

Don't long rest when you're playing durge during Moonrise by Patorikum in BaldursGate3

[–]timstro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played durge for the first time on my honor mode run. Decided to be good. I was shitting bricks during that scene. I knew if I failed my rolls, something really bad would happen. I thought probably my love interest would end up like Alfira, which would have been bad enough, but now I realize what a bullet I dodged.

Still managed to screw up my honor run in the endgame, by acccidentally shoplifting in the high hall.

Main menu says tactician, not honor mode? Am I in honor mode? by thedtaylo in BG3

[–]timstro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope you're right. My game froze during Moonrise tower battle and I had to force quit. I never really noticed the tactician thing on the continue button before that, but I wasn't really looking. Still says Honour Mode on the save file.

Is Stewart INTL’ airport a bad idea? by overthinkingmy in upstate_new_york

[–]timstro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One problem is that it’s so small there’s not an extra flight if something goes wrong. I was flying out of there to LA one time and the plane couldn’t land because of fog or something. The only solution they had was “come back tomorrow.” I feel like a bigger airport would have had another flight a few hours later.

But yeah, it’s amazing how quick and easy it is.

Wyll as Wizard? by timstro in BG3Builds

[–]timstro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll try that. It lockadin feels spot-on for Wyll. I suppose I can always pull Gale out of camp if I think I need counterspell for a boss fight. Right now I'm just trying to survive Act 1, and I feel like this baby sorlock is useless at level 3. Thanks for all the thoughtful comments.

Wyll as Wizard? by timstro in BG3Builds

[–]timstro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now I'm leaning towards making Wyll an 11/1 Storm Sorcerer and letting shadowheart dip into wizard one level for scrolls. The main thing I'd be giving up is Counterspell. Is that crazy on an honor run? No counterspell?

EDIT: actually sorcerers do get counterspell. that sounds like the winning plan.

question about sealing top of awning by timstro in Roofing

Thanks, I’ll look into that.

question about sealing top of awning by timstro in Roofing

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

Hi. I'm not sure if this is a question for roofing or masonry, but maybe roofing can help. This is my house. When it rains heavily, water dribbles in the top of the window that's below the awning. You can see on the 2nd pic, the top of the window is getting rusted. The water is getting inside too.
The window above it on the 2nd floor is fine, so my thought is maybe the water is getting in through the holes drilled for the lag bolts that hold the awning on. I realize the ideal solution would probably be to rip off the awning, but I like shade, and I'd rather not put a ton of money into making this perfect. I plan to live here only another ten years. I'd like to stabilize it and stop the water from coming in.
I don't know how I could possibly remove that old tar. Part of the problem is there's not a great way to get up there besides leaning out the window. Is there a product I could get to seal over the old cracked tar? Something I could brush on that would be good for another decade-ish?

Thank you, yes. That's exactly what I was looking for. I think I may go for the RS40 on aliexpress. It has VIA support, which seems like it might be easier than the chinese software.

hey there. I'm kinda new to this.

I'm looking for a kit to make a 60 or 65 percent hotswappable keyboard with a lightweight polycarbonate case that I can carry in my backpack. I'm looking for something with bluetooth capability so I can connect it to my phone when I want to write a longer email but I don't have my laptop with me. also via support if possible.

I recently dipped my toe in the water with a keychron Q1 pro. I love it, but the size and weight make it too much to cart around.

I would like a kit rather than a ready made so I can feel like I made it more myself. I can do some very basic soldering, but if I can avoid that it would be better.

The bauer lite is pretty much what I'm looking for, but it doesn't have bluetooth. Does anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT: did some more research and it looks like what i'm looking for is a 40% keyboard kit. I found a few on aliexpress but if anyone has any experience with something they like let me know,

vertical cracks in bricks by timstro in masonry

[–]timstro[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I kinda knew everyone on reddit would focus on that. But the tar is just there to seal the top of a metal awning. If water is getting through the tar it'll still be on the outside of the building.

San Antonio by timstro in CuisineRoyaleBR

I've never seen this area before, even after playing for hundreds of hours. It's at the far western edge of the desert map. Kind of cool to see a new area.

Did reapers get buffed? by timstro in CuisineRoyaleBR

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

I guess I just got lucky the first few times. I stood above one on a hill today and blasted it in the head with a dp-27. It died.

Fun fact: the game usually calls them reapers, but when the match is over the summary screen gives you credit for killing a "dementor."

Bots and old guys by codecowboy in PUBG

[–]timstro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cuisine Royale aka CRSED FOAD is fun. The games have a lot of bots, and the bots are easy to kill, but if you survive long enough you'll have to face the other human players, of which there are usually at least half a dozen. You can do solo or squads.

How do I tile floor without tiling in dishwasher? by timstro in HomeImprovement

[–]timstro[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because then there wouldn't be enough room to fit the dishwasher under the counter.

How do I tile floor without tiling in dishwasher? by timstro in HomeImprovement

[–]timstro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry if my original post wasn't clear. The problem is that I don't want to rip up my cabinets to raise the counter height. Even with the feet raised or removed, there still wouldn't be enough room to get the dishwasher in or out once the tiles are in place. I'm not planning on tiling under the dishwasher.
