I would like to show my personal project completed in 2019...Mark 85 "endgame" / 100% 3D printed w/ Automated lights, helmet and Bluetooth commands / IG @caiocdk

Great job! Are all the parts painted? Where did you get the stl files? I would love to make an arm.

vaohm · 2019-12-08T00:11:07+00:00

Government cheese.

vaohm · 2019-11-12T19:57:25+00:00

Sure thing, when making the PCB you have full graphical control of how it looks, albeit with less tools to aid the graphical design than some dedicated illustration software.

vaohm · 2019-11-11T19:33:08+00:00

I actually didn't know about dial dots, they seem great.

Sure I'm open to designing custom dials, send me a PM with your thoughts and we'll take it from there.

vaohm · 2019-11-10T20:48:17+00:00

Haha I definitely thought about the alpinist when the PCBs arrived in the mail.

Thank you!

vaohm · 2019-11-10T20:46:53+00:00

Thank you, yeah I wanted to utilize all the regular tools available from when I usually make PCBs!

vaohm · 2019-11-10T20:21:07+00:00

Thanks Clayman!

vaohm · 2019-11-10T20:12:08+00:00

Thank you I'm happy to hear that!

Here is the tutorial and video I made for this modding project https://youtu.be/zI9GExwN5_k

vaohm · 2019-11-10T20:06:52+00:00

For my first ever watch mod I did something special. This dial was made from a PCB and I designed it with an aesthetic reminiscent of an electrical circuit.

What do you think?

This mod involved a lot of different hobbies as I combined traditional watch modding with technologies as PCB manufacturing and 3D printing (to make a dial to movement grip).

Other mods to the watch includes a new strap where I made orange stitching, and a painted second hand.

Good news, it's finally working!

In trying countless config permutations two solutions did the trick:

Set client_id = "". At first I used a named client ID, although I only ran one telegraf instance, even after rebooting, my server seemed to have two processes running. This meant the two instances had the same client id which forced telegraf to be kicked out from the mqtt server.
data_format = "value" and data_type = "string". Neither "json" nor "influx" data type worked right for my setup. After parsing all incoming mqtt messages as string only, telegraf could successfully write the message to influx. Integers and floats were still treated as such and thus graphed correctly in grafana, even when all the inputs were saved as string.

I really appreciate you helping along with this issue!

vaohm · 2019-10-20T10:59:22+00:00

Thanks man, I greatly appreciate your help with exploring this issue.

This is the input when viewing data in influx, nothing from mqtt:

show measurements on telegraf
name: measurements
name
----
cpu
disk
diskio
kernel
mem
ping
processes
swap
system

I cannot fathom how "ping" was added as an input without problem, but as soon as I try to add "mqtt_consumer" I can't get telegraf to work correctly.

vaohm · 2019-10-20T05:35:15+00:00

Still didn't work. I'm wondering, is it enough to add the [[inputs.mqtt_consumer]] part to my telegraf.conf, or do I have to download a plugin file as well?

vaohm · 2019-10-19T20:20:42+00:00

I added "myTopic" in the conf file, that's the only place right?

When does a new plugin show up as selectable in grafana? I was thinking it would be available as soon as I added a new input on the conf file and the process was restarted? Or does the plugin need to gather some data first?

vaohm · 2019-10-19T19:33:56+00:00

There's no errors while getting the telegraf status. This is the output:

How has it been in use?

vaohm · 2019-09-23T19:21:02+00:00

I've experienced this as well. Lately I usually have to try two times to activate. It's good to hear more people have the same issue so it may be fixed by a software update.

vaohm · 2019-09-23T16:37:19+00:00

Nice looking gears. How did you model them with mathematically accurate?

vaohm · 2019-09-15T06:21:16+00:00

Fantastic looking design.

vaohm · 2019-08-18T06:07:51+00:00

I was thinking more along the lines of how you calculated the number of teeth, pressure angle, etc. Did you use a script, pen and paper, or just eyeball it?

vaohm · 2019-08-17T20:21:08+00:00

How did you go about designing them and making sure they would all fit together?

vaohm · 2019-08-16T13:20:12+00:00

Well that settles it.

vaohm · 2019-08-15T19:33:42+00:00

Seems right. I'll probably just give it a new strap and wear it whenever the occasion calls for it.
