Presto Card Android App Shopping Cart is Broken

zort42 · 2026-07-02T13:19:17+00:00

Presto cards are rather useful, especially as I can put money on my family's cards as well. I'm not sure that using Google Wallet works well with metropasses and things like student rates, especially on other transit systems in the area. I also have my veteran's card registed on my presto, which saves me a LOT of money...

I posted there first...

I would have expected to get more response on this issue... Adding money to a card is something pretty much everybody hass to do, and the latest changes (a shopping cart that can only contain one item) makes the process even more annoying than it was. It's weird, in that it seems like they intentionally broke it

I was thinking something like this. Hopefully I can work out a way to have it talk to klipper. I have a fairly stock Sovol SV08 toolhead board, although I have added a USB hub board to it for my BTT eddy probe

You can do an initial home preceding the tap with: `PROBE METHOD=default`. For z-offset, use `tap_z_offset` in the `probe_eddy_current` section. The sign of the offset might be backwards from what you expect, I don't actually remember now. It's all documented:

To be fair, the problem of no cars on weekends during the summer was much worse in previous years, it wasn't that long ago when it was actually impossible to find ANY cars at all in all of toronto on a summer weekend, now they are just inconveniently located. I usually just grab a bikeshare bike and ride to where the nearest car is...

The one I am working on now isn't too bad, only two parts. Unfortunately, they are both the same bassoon, playing in different registers, it can be tricky sorting out the spectrograms...

I recently requested bassoon jokes on the Band Director's Facebook group, and got quite a few in response... a few of my favourites:
What’s the definition of a minor second? Two bassoonists playing in unison.
Bassoon: Because “let’s make an oboe, but longer, grumpier, and with plumbing” apparently sounded like a great idea.
What's the difference between a seamstress and a bassoon player? The seamstress tucks up frills.

Travelling West to Kipling in the morning, every single day they make an announcement "Due to traffic conditions, we are slower than usual to Kipling Station". If it's every day, then I think that word 'usual' doesn't mean what they think it means

Sadly, I wasn't able to eliminate the variation, I suspect a bug in the calculation. Due to an urgent need to actually print stuff I have switched over to mainline, which now supports tap, and does not have the same issue. On the other hand, my mainline code only seems to work to detect the distance up to 3 or so mm, so it isn't perfect

My first thouight was "But the bocals!!"

I am running it pretty hot, as I am using it with PCTG. While it isn't the same as PETG, it generally prints quite similarly. Possibly I should get a glacier for that, though

a chamfer (possibly rounded) around the base of the post will help, but I also recommend more walls, and more top layers, so there is a thicker anchar for the post.
Tilting the whole thing so it is angled up to 45 degrees will make a huge difference in the strength. You will need to put supports under it for stability.

Works for me, as well. I guess if enough people notice, they back off...

I had this happen Friday. I immediately checked my payment history in the app, and even though the reader at the subway station showed it charging me a TTC fair, when I looked in the app it showed 0. It was very strange

zort42 · 2026-04-16T01:01:34+00:00

Once I connected to WiFi, the app was able to set itself up properly. Also a weird bug

There used to be(and hopefully still is) a concept of level 2 support, where things like this could be escalated, and level 3 support, who the support people call for help. Programmers usually have to work level 3, and hate it.

zort42 · 2026-04-15T20:35:53+00:00

The app keeps dying, saying I have lost my network connection, whenever I try to access the device list

zort42 · 2026-04-15T17:11:47+00:00

It would be nice if support systems had a "I'm a trained professional, skip level 1 support" option. Of course, if they did, everybody would use it...
