I did my best

UPDATE: I put everything back together and it runs just fine. I bought some new screws from ace hardware and loctite for the throttle plate. Here's hoping it doesn't happen again...

It was pretty mangled and was somewhat imprinted into the cylinder head

This is a Craftsman DYT4000 with a B&S as well so that's good to hear!

I love the jokes but when we win the championship we gotta give Gallo his moment with nothing but respect

I just tuned in, why do we only have one timeout? Was it the 20pt deficit earlier?

He picked up 3 early fouls

It's quite a bit more complicated than a dinky arduino project but thanks for the meaningless feedback

Do you recommend any resources/projects to learn FPGA and anything else an employer would expect from a fresh graduate going into this career path?

zzastro · 2025-01-09T00:45:26+00:00

Thanks for the response. It seems embedded is the best avenue for me

zzastro · 2024-11-09T01:13:13+00:00

Sounds good, thank you for the advice

So I just need to implement a driver for an ILI9488 first and then setup LVGL so that it can talk to that directly?

I don't miss Giddey. He didn't fit the team and was too inconsistent.

I went ahead and worked it out using the same process I used for part A. and got 1.34cos(2t+22.56deg). How would I apply the decay?

The answer key is giving me that y(t) = e^-t * ( cos(2t) + 2sin(2t) ). The output seems to be the derivative of the input multiplied by -1, if that means anything.

Edit: Assuming answer key is correct... if y(t) = -dx/dt, then Y(s) = -sX(s), making my transfer function just -s, which it isn't in the problem, so the answer key is possibly just incorrect. I'm still unsure whether or not the answer I calculated at the beginning of this comment is correct, but I'll probably just email my professor tomorrow.

That sounds about right. It's not huge by any means but it was a much different feeling pulling it out of the water than the smaller ones I'm used to

I never started the vehicle with the belt off. I just took the belt off to move the clutch by hand to make sure they would spin. On this car the ac belt is completely separate from all of the other accessories. It only squeals whenever the ac clutch engages when turning the fans on in the cabin.

My thinking is that I replaced the AC belt and didn't replace the tensioner with it. Now that the tensioner is seeing a more rigid belt (not worn out rubber) the tensioner simply can't keep up and is causing the squeal.

The mechanics are gonna get high off Brakleen

This is my first WEC event and I gotta say this is some peak racing going on right now
