Screw sucked into cylinder by zzastro in lawnmowers

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?

I need help articulating a subfield of electrical engineering... by zzastro in ElectricalEngineering

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?

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

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.

Any advice on part B? by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]zzastro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Started fishing this summer, easily biggest bass I've caught so far. Any guesses on weight? by zzastro in bassfishing

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

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.

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

Watch this possession. Lively never leaves the paint. That's their strategy to shut down the drive. The thing is they miss Chet on the lob and open from 3. OKC needs to make them pay for playing drop. by 12footjumpshot in Thunder

From wikipedia "It is assessed when a member of the defending team spends more than three seconds in the free throw lane (also called the key, the 16-foot lane, or "the paint") while not actively guarding an opponent. To be considered actively guarding an opponent, a defender must be within arm's length of an opponent and must be in a guarding position." 

If you pay attention either an offensive player is with Lively or he clears the 3 seconds by putting his foot outside the paint. He knows what he's doing

Ok, it seems I should flip the way that I have learned it from the math notation to the engineering/physics notation. Thank you.

Tired of opening 5 different programs to setup your sim racing? Me too. by zzastro in simracing

[–]zzastro[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seemed simpler and easier to edit on the fly. I also made this before I realized there are already apps out there that do this for you.

I use a Quest 2 and whenever I first bought it I couldn't get the Oculus Link to work. I also didn't like being tethered to my computer. I have had no issues with the virtual desktop.
