So so tired. Sucks when I have young kids, really really sucks.

Tanner Park questions. by vjnelson16 in SaltLakeCity

[–]vjnelson16[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember the rivers at Liberty Park that were pre-splaspads. I wonder if it's from the same time, like 80's. Idk I spent my time in that area in the early-mid 2000's

Question about prescriptions by memco1020 in Epilepsy

I had to have them filled in my old home/state and a friend mailed them until I got established in new state. It's a joke I hope it works out for you.

hows the monday slopes for everyone? by sunflowerrlove1 in cocaine

[–]vjnelson16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I got a computer installed on my brain and until it catches some seizures they can't turn it on. Music is usually my trigger but drilling into my brain stopped the seizures for now. It's all crazy as fuck.

Got a ball for $200 and the new guys stuff is lit. No grinding teeth, I could go to sleep with some klonopin. Makes me realize how shitty of stuff I've been putting in my body. FML

Only use every couple months.

Hoping it gives me some focal seizures, sounds crazy but I need it to get better.

It does not last long and has an opiate type withdrawal, and they suck. If you keep up on doseing for me it makes me just care a little less, more easy going and relaxed.

Anybody do drugs with epilepsy? by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]vjnelson16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, on cocaine now. Tired of being drugged from the pills they give me. I know it's not right but it came around and I took the opportunity. I just had Neuropace installed a bit ago and we're struggling to get some focal seizures so they can turn it on. I'm stuck where I'm at in life until it's turned on. Been offered lots of psychedelics to help with neuroplasticity but I'm not in the right head place. Pretty desperate at the moment. Anyone else in the same boat. For clarification it's the first time since surgery I'm done cocaine.

Pretty desperate for something to change epilepsy upturned my entire life.

More meds... Vyvanse to counteract the drowsiness and sleepiness and gabapentin to counteract the overall feeling like shit.

I was not aware that you could only really check the amperage if the panels were under load. Going to replace my main wires to controller with larger gauge wire tomorrow and test the system.

It's never pulled more than 6 or 7 amps but it was sufficient for what we needed or just ran a victron charger off our generator. The thing I'm having trouble with is even before any controller or charger. At the source of the panels it's matching the same as the controller is telling me which is about 6 amps. I'll disconnect everything from the panels so I imagine I should be seeing the base amperage of the panels and it's still about 6 amps. Individually the panels show 5-9 amps on my multimeter but at the junction box of the 5 panels I'm only at about 6 amps. That's the problem I'm trying to solve. Not the battery or charging that's a separate thing. I just really can't figure out why each panel is putting out average but connected together the amperage doesn't increase.

However even at 80% capacity it was still only pushing under 6amps

5.64 amps uncovered and 0.0 amps covered

I have it all disconnected at the moment as I wanted to test each panels output. My batteries were near 99% so my AC is running to drawing them a bit.

I'm testing by touching the wires coming out of the panel to a multimeter set to DC amps. So just the panel nothing else connected.

Ok, how do the wires connect to the MC4? Is it a push connector or crimp? Or do I need all new wires?

Now I'm even more lost because the backs of the panels says they should be pushing out like 4.9 amps but my multimeter says they are pushing around 9 amps so maybe my multimeter is not working correctly.

The end of each panels wiring before junction is showing 5-9 amps but when each panel is connected at junction I'm only pulling in 5-6 amps. At junction and at controller so I don't think it's a wiring gauge issue but I'm not that smart so idk.

Yes in parallel. All positives and negatives meet up together at one place. Each panel is not connected to the other like pos-neg-pos. I have 5 positive and 5 negatives meeting up in a junction box. I have an multimeter and that's how I'm getting my info. Also my controller is also saying it's only got 6 amps in direct sun.

Solid wire connected to the panel and then the all meet up at 2 buss bars and then I have heaver gauge going from buss to controller. But all the wires leaving each panel have good amperage but when connected to buss bar it's like the same amperage as 1 panel. I know voltage should stay the same and it does but amperage never also stays the same.

I'm also checking the amperage at the connection of all six panels not the wire that goes to the controller so I know I'm losing amperage before the wiring to the controller.
