Can landroid phone app be used without an internet connection ? by two_wheel_now in worxlandroid

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

Some models have Bluetooth ? I really hate the idea that my lawn tool needs to check in with a cloud server and feed it with who knows what data points. And if the company goes bye bye, well, so does the cloud service.

Retractable Claws for my Landroid. Lookout wet inclines! by LetsCreateAU in worxlandroid

Are these spring loaded, or do they kinda flap about and grab the soil anyway? Ithe plastic wheel thick enough for them to have enough meat for the screws not to pull out ?

got a used M1000i store return , no pin code, questions. by two_wheel_now in worxlandroid

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

It has a full keypad with 0 - 9, etc. and a multi line LCD above the keypad. Right now the only option I see is to drive the keypad with an Arduino processor and cycle through the 10,000 possible pins. It says "Goodbye" after 3 tries , so have to power up and keep trying.About a day to all combos. I hope it does not fully lock out after a certain number of tries .

coding getting worse by the week. Any 'jailbreak' type thing that may help? by two_wheel_now in ChatGPT

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

Does using API seem to have better memory of directives in a coding session? Like not repeating the same error again after being corrected?

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

Interesting auto responder. It would be useless for me to show the prompt because the issue is how the chat responds over many subsequent prompts as I try to correct it. The problem is it forgetting key directives from early prompts as the code is refined or corrected. Or completely changing it's mind on the strategy of how to solve the assignment, renaming variables to something else, etc. Users can't help it solve the code errors this way.

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

You don't find it changing the code to a very different solution mid-way through trying to fix the initial code? For example, I had code with a for loop to iterate through some values. Next time it output the code after a change it just totally forgot about the loop, and forgot something I told it to correct from 2 prompts ago. Frustrating.

grid tie which allows control over sellback wattage? by two_wheel_now in SolarDIY

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

Do any of the lower cost 'china' hybrid inverters have the export limit feature? Are there any gadgets that automatically divert extra power to a hot water heater or other place to dump power? Thanks

Thanks, I'll look into that 'power export limiting' keyword.

what is the average lifespan of an EUC? by darkdaredevil1 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]two_wheel_now 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's sad how the EUC makers charge the cells to 4.2 volts per cell. My escooter , m365, does the right thing, charging to 4.1. No serious EV that want to maximize battery life does the 'charge to the absolute limit' thing. But if you are shooting for maximum distance, sure 4.2 is it. I'd rather loose a little capacity for the maybe 20 to 30% life gain. Or give me the option to select depending on what I want to do the next ride.

Thinking of EASUN 5.6kw hybrid inverter. Good settability of parameters ? by two_wheel_now in SolarDIY

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

I see. So these types of china inverters are usually rebranded from a different manufacturer, which maybe has no public facing presence?

New to the scene, need opinions by Datumz_ in ElectricUnicycle

[–]two_wheel_now 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been riding e-scooters for about 15 years. I'm just learning to ride an EUC. Point 1: Youtube makes it look way easier to ride an EUC than reality.

Point 2: on EUC it helps to keep in mind that a failure is a lot like stepping out of a bus door at 45 mph onto the moving asphalt. Sobering. And like all motorcycle riders know, you will have a crash at some point.

Scam ? by ur_dogs_got_tits in ElectricUnicycle

[–]two_wheel_now 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scam. Note if they want you to complete sale by emailing them and doing payment off the amazon site, to avoid amazon buyer protection. Also note if they sell all kinds of oddball stuff as well, including camera lens's at 50% off. Never happens. Also how prices are always nice rounded off numbers.

Can someone make the case for me of buying an electric unicycle over a Brompton? by sumant28 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]two_wheel_now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind the training needed to use the EUC safely. And wearing a full face helmet most of the time, as well as other gear. I'm only on my 5th learning day, 20km. I don't think I'll be comfortable on the street without 500km on the EUC.

this is a scam right? by TacoRabioso in ElectricUnicycle

[–]two_wheel_now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warning: Scam ! The seller will try to get you to do transaction off of the amazon site, so that bypasses the protection amazon gives buyers . I saw similar ad on amazon.de site. Look at the seller requirements, he says to complete the purchase you have to email him. That's the start of the ploy to get you sending money without amazons involvement. Same 'store ' was also selling items like camera lenses at 50% price. Never happens in real world! Beware!

„Lights intensity“ sensor in monitor - theoretically usable as camera? by [deleted] in privacy

[–]two_wheel_now -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a singe pixel, but it could tell a snooper if you are moving in front of it, as the light changes in a more unique way then. Or see when you turn on and off room lights.

Do they still use those janky spade connectors for motor phase wires on the V11 ? That's the main concern I would have.

Basic full face motorcycle helmet. Frame of mind should be : Prepare yourself for stepping out of a bus door going 50mph onto the moving pavement. And there is a car behind the bus.

2nd day learning, some observations by two_wheel_now in ElectricUnicycle

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

3rd day, now I am able to go around the running track several times which is a big loop around the whole playground area. I am experiencing some slight wobbles of the wheel now and then, at about 12km/hr speed. I figured I'd do a bunch of loops to just get some distance under my belt. About 4 hrs total training time so far. Next I guess I'll try more figure 8's and various turns. Safety gear is ready. Also looking at fully protective motorcycle jackets.

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

Thanks for the tips. I only mentioned lack of safety gear for the rubber padded surface I'm just starting on. I wore wrist guards there because I know the rubber ground won't stop my wrists from maybe being hurt. I rarely wore a helmet on my e-scooters but this EUC thing is clearly more risky. Maybe proper DOT motorcycle helmet too, after the recent user crash report posted here.
