>>3003860idk i'd imagine it serves the same purpose as other bed leveling methods
>>3003861https://wiki.creality.com/en/k1-flagship-series/k1-max/quick-start-guide/ai-feature-descriptionIt does both flow calibration and first layer fault detection with the lidar, as well as using it as a bed level sensor.
>>3003878yeah i guess it's not really worth replacing then
>>3003765Now back together again. But I learnt that my custom micro switch mount for depth sensing of tools was misplaced, so I’ll have to redesign that too. I’ll make this one adjustable.
Last Threads: https://warosu.org/diy/?task=search2&search_username=artbyrobotTo begin: the project goal: I am working to make a series of humanoid robots. I am using a Biblical theme of naming the first 3 robots I make Adam, Eve, and Abel. The goal is for these robots to have human body inspired musculoskeletal systems, advanced AI, and that they look human and pass for human to a casual observer at least at a distance. They must be able to walk, talk, run, dance, do sports, do chores, manufacture products, and make more robots just like themselves if not even better. My aim is to build a single robot arm and head and then add sufficiently advanced AI to that arm and head to enable it to build the rest of its own body for me. This way I am delegating the work of building the majority of my first humanoid robot to that robot rather than doing that work myself - and this is to save me time.In a like manner, my goal with the AI is to code just enough AI that the AI can begin coding itself and this way I don't have to code most of the AI myself because it will self create itself. I liken this to building a seed and that seed growing into a tree because for me to code that tree would take too long for me and just creating the seed would then save me time.

>>3003763>Could we see some of your documentation from, say, 4 years ago?well my blog started in 2024 so to go back an additional 2 years from that, we'd have to look at my video blog which is my youtube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhd7_i6zzT5-MbwGz2gMv6RJy5FIW_lfn --- which goes back 12 years. Beyond that I have extensive notes in my personal hard drive and drawings/schematics but you've seen all of those if you've seen the video blog.>you can spend even up to or more than 9 months on a single half bridge circuit, do you still assume it's realistic that you will finish this project? Why?yes. The past 9 months has been swallowed whole by my real estate investing projects with very little time and energy to spare beyond that. Also raising young kids is time intensive and energy intensive to boot. Other seasons of life will go way faster especially as the kids start helping more.> so there's no risk in the investmentthat's simply not true. real estate may go slow, other ways to monetize them might not pan out, the robots may not thrive in real estate, I could get banned from using them by new laws for things I planned to use them for, etc etc many things can go wrong. The risk would be enormous and the timeline of paying back a business loan has to be incredibly short or else fines, penalties, and interest starts to drive what you owe through the roof and you end up in a hole nothing can get you out of and you have to file for bankrupcy etc. It's a foolish suggestion by you.>500k of R&D money should do itthat's like a 2 month runway if you were to hire engineering team and go a full speed. You've have to get like a 100 million dollar business loan to build a large team and have the years necessary to build it and what about the AI. That's a decade or more so add a good $1 billion dollar business loan to hire a large team of AI devs for decade. Nope I don't qualify for billions in loans.

Don't you think a flex pcb should have flexible routes instead of flat, brittle copper plating?yes its flex pcb and no, you don't have to flex a flex pcb it just enables you to flex it if you want in some cases. The primary reason for using it is it is thin so takes up less room. A rigid pcb is super thick by comparison and wastes space. They don't make ultra thin rigid pcbs that I am aware of.

>>3003859>>3003864I meant for a whole hot air station, and everything, I only have one old soldering iron. My current idea to start learning about reverse engineering and beyond base level programming knowledge is make a bluetooth keyboard and program it from an old keyboard i have, rather than just go for piecing together a reddit teir cyberdeck, right now the extent of what I know about servers, desktops, laptops, appliances, is simply REPLACE THE WHOLE THING IF BROKE(the board at most). Fuck trying to fix anything... I could say that this sentiment has been crushing me into avoiding learning about how BASE level motherboards works, like yeah theory teaches how to read the motherboard, but I have zero experience in fixing boards, and everyone says doing that is a waste of time..... which I do not understand....
>>3003869Is your intention to learn reverse engineering and/or hardware hacking? Or is that just a means to the end of designing better embedded hardware? If the latter, I think you're putting the cart before the horse.
>>3003879both, I intend to get an old keyboard, slap a sneed controller to it, and then use it for pen testing, though before I begin anything I want to see that I can make a board, that can connect to things, and not be as hugee as this 5" thick phablet with a shitty membrane silicone keyboard because I absolutely abhor thar keyboard. So far what I know is, I need to figure out which pin from which key leads to what on a tiny ribbon cable, to then find a way to attach it to a microcontroller, with likely having an expansion board so that it can have a battery, and then put it in the thinnest vs durable 3 printed case, with maybe a display, though again not as big and chunky as this, and without any of the useless extra flavor "cyberpunk" colored plastic and ridgeshttps://youtu.be/bvV9h5kAPXw?is=gIxHsJauL9ZmSPkn

Welding is the easiest thing in the world. Why do tiktokers make it seem like rocket science?
>>3003813I think it always was.

Even though it doesn't matter for 97% of welds that aren't under a critical load at the material limits. Everyone is always so hostile about everything...Proper fab technique and overkill material selection are more important than perfect welds 97% of the time. Fight me.

I want to make my own kegerator. I was thinking to make it run on ice instead of electricity because my house has kinda shitty wiring and another fridge would draw a lot of power and cost $$$. I was thinking of freezing a gallon jug of water in my current freezer and move it into the kegerator every few days (or however long the ice lasts).Is this a retarded idea? Should I just buy another fridge?
>>3003481>I was thinking of freezing a gallon jug of water in my current freezer and move it into the kegerator every few daysPeople have done this using pet bottles placing with the keg in water bath and fleece blanket wrapped over.>Should I just buy another fridge?Wherever you buy second hand, a fridge should be cheap if you can transport it yourself. However, most likely need a temp sensor and and something like an inkbird to get the temp you want (slightly higher than a fridge normally goes).
>>3003461>cellar's temp fluctuate way too muchIf you can get your hands on some slabs of polystyrene foam and insulate open to the floor you should get a stable temp. However you would then have a ferment producing it's own heat so the temp you wind up with would be up to experimentation.
>>3003461Of course I could say get a proper chiller but they cost a packet lol. You can DIY a fridge and place a heater within to be used as a stable fermentation room; there used to be a how to on "Jim's Beer Kit" but I can't find it now. I'm sure there are others. Really should be trying to have fermentations with stable temperatures but I'm like you and other than a basic heating pad and insulator in the colder months I don't do anything else. In the summers I've just generally had the fermenter in a cool spot in a garage and it hasn't been an issue but now it really is, and there's several brews I want to do.

TL;DR What are some cool old vintage home features that you don't see much anymore that would be good to add to a renovation?One of my grandmothers is moving to Florida and I'm getting the house. The bones of the place is a late 1940s 2/1 bungalow. It was basically gutted and rebuilt on the inside back in the early 80s after a bad kitchen fire. Out went the hardwood floors, plaster, and solid wood built-ins. In came lots of melamine, fake wood veneers, and vinyl flooring. To be fair, based on old photos taken for insurance, the interior was wrecked by smoke and water damage. Well, 45 years hasn't been kind and most of it needs to go. Luckily they insulated and replaced the old plumbing and wiring so all I really have to do the easier stuff.What are some cool features I can add while I am at it? I'm going to be taking the kitchen and bathroom down to the walls and putting hardwood floors/tile back in the place. I don't have the inclination to tear out the drywall and go back to plaster though.Picture from google but is similar vintage. More posts to follow with some ideas I already have.
>>3001403Have this in my hose from 1929 use it far less than you'd think. Also have an original built in phone niche with seat. I'd think about adding some crown molding to your place.
Look into fireplace inserts. They burn and heat much more efferently than a standard fireplace. Modern wood stoves are also very good. They both can make heating your home with wood, a renewable resource, a cost effective method. Depending on how cold it gets and what heating system you currently use.

>>3001010There is a reason we gave most of that place to the Indians. It was the least valuable land in the contiguous USA. Hell, the whole reason they have a panhandle is because even Texas didn't want that strip of land. It has to be pretty fucking bad when people that voluntarily live in places like Waco go "Jesus, at least I don't live there."
a proper drainfield for the 'holding tank' will cost around 8k. same for new septic tank if the holding tank somehow isn't compatible. so just add that to cost of buyas it goesalways get the well water tested as well, probably costs 100-200$but if it's shit you'll need 10k/10 yr in filtration
>>2998833Homesteading? You can grow enough potatoes and sweet potatoes to sustain the carb needs of a family. If you put in a few ponds you can harvest tilapia, channel catfish, sunfish and bass. Add chickens and maybe a few goats and you're just about sustainable. Now you just gotta pick whatever crops that grow well in that area. Im not saying it isnt hard work, but I think its workable.
I live ludicrously far from all laundromats, they charge a pretty fucking penny for a wash and a full dry, and I have no vehicle, no friends willing to drive me to a mat, no family in my town, and churning clothes like butter in hot bathwater with the head of those detachable mop handles for 4 hours is starting to lose its luster. The drying I can take. Is there a faster or better alternative, especially a ghetto, simple one, when I live a poor life, mostly due to living costs?Don't say move. This is literally the best gig a fella like me can get. Not because of any record but because it's all bills paid and they didn't ask for a lease agreement.
>>2996871Yeah, buying a used washing machine and transporting it to your house. Then hire an electrician to find a place to install a 240V in your house and tap into water. I dont know what to tell you, but if you live in the sticks you either are gonna do wash and dry like some alaskan native, or you can get a used unit and fix it up.>>2997901Maybe don't do business with shit tenants and install washing machines and they won't pull shit like that?
>>2996871just leave the cloth over night in there.no movement needed.
to get the water out i use a sptn dryer
>>3000287Yes that one
Commercial washing machine self service "shops".In my country, Canada and the US they cost about $1- $2 for 1x 40 min wash at least that was the case about 1 year ago.Your washing probably up to 2 small domestic washing machine loads in one of those bad boys.I'd also consider quick dry material clothing, I wear some due to camping a lot when growing up and being outdoors alot. You can hand wash that stuff in a sink and on a sunny day it'll be dry in an hour.If your homeless or semi transient / living in a van whatever the 1 hr drys pretty good.

>>3003644Man, just use an SMD socket instead. Pretty sure I’ve seen vertical ones, with the pads spread out in both directions.>>3003668Fat handle, ergonomics might be kinda strange. But I see no venting on the shank of the tip, so I assume it’s temperature regulated? A quick search suggests it’s curie-point controlled, so fixed temperature. Should be damn reliable, but those tips may not be designed for lead-free use. Naturally it will be less capable than a cartridge-tip iron or an iron wth greater power. 40W seems kinda low for that big DIP reflow tip.
>>3003683I was just going based on what I was able to find online, which is just about fuck all. Weller's naming conventions, constant model changes, and other bullshit has just about done my head in. The box says WTCPK and 24 volt, 48 watts (my bad, not 40). Outside of a single line in a very old Weller catalog and a bunch of old military TMs I can't find much else about it. The EC1201A comes from a video on YouTube were a guy replaced some parts on one and had links on where to get the parts. The tips in the box say PT but what is the difference with ET? Fuck if I know. The box says the tips are for 600 or 700 °F so I assume it can get at least into that area.
Anybody have this screen and was able to free the CS pin from the driver? The header does not come with a chip select meaning you cannot have this screen and other SPI items on the same line the way it stands. Pic-related is the pinout diagram I made. The 3v3? Label turned out not to be 3v3, U2 is the backlight power module. Screen (from Amazon):DollaTek 2.4-inch TFT SPI LCD module, 240×320, using the ILI9341.My fallback plan is to permanently use a Blue Pill to run it then send the Blue Pill whatever I want to show on the screen, via SPI for speed.
>>3003779Just put a transistor or logic gate on the CLK pin. Maybe MISO too, if you need to connect that in the first place.You could also use other pins on your MCU for another SPI peripheral, be that alternative hardware SPI pins, or software bit-banged SPI. If you planned on using another SPI line to talk between this MCU and something else, they you’d already need two SPI channels. Or are you otherwise pressed for GPIOs?

One room in my house gets hot in the evening. That tricks the AC into blowing the rest of the house into a freezer. I want to figure out how to get the room colder. I've just put up blackout curtains (the sun hits that room in the evening), so we'll see soon what effect that has. How to escalate from here?
>>3003814You bring the cool air in.You blow the warm out out.You do the hokey inline exhaust fan with flexible ducting run outside the room pokey and you turn yourself around.That's about it. Peace out.
>>3003814Did you change all your return air filters?
>>3003814>I sleep in that room, and my real goal is to get the room cooler.>Option AFans to mix the air>Option BSmart thermostat with a sensor in your bedroom programed to be the only sensor active when you're sleeping. The rest of the house will freeze but you will be comfy
>>3003827I moved in just the other week, and the return filter was replaced shortly before I moved in.
>>3003814If blackout curtains don't work that much, your next step should be an exterior window fitting (awning, louvres, shading from plants NOT BAMBOO NEAR HOUSE, etc.).>>3003826 could be right, but also consider ceiling fan.
why aren't the studs full height, with plates then little studs on top.IIRC that is a "hinge wall" and illegal. If it needs fire-blocking you add FBs, which would make the wall stronger, not weaker, and be easier than adding top studs.Never seen the wide spaced already spindly trusses with that sort of ceiling backing, but I guess it could work. Might the attic easy to make into semi-usable 4ft or WTF spaces accessed from lots of ceiling hatches.what else you guys see? What sort of insulation does the roof get?
>>3003747Wrong. The houses are built by illegals who work for a contractor who's parents were illegals and inspected by his other anchor baby cousins.
>>3003652Mexicans are too expensive these days we use nicaraguans now
>>3003607It's a pole barn structure, so those stud walls are not load bearing. Chances are they just bought a pallet of standard 8' studs and their ceiling height is 9' so they blocked in the top. And that's fine considering they aren't load bearing.
there is no load on any of those walls.if you've never looked at a modern pole barn, shitting on it from a continent away pretending you know more than the engineer who's plans got approved by the local municipality is RETARDED AS HELL and peak /diy/Oklahoma has wind, but no snow loadi hate you peoplego look at porn if you are gonna spend all day looking at things you have no knowledge or familiarity withwasting space with these threads when there's more education, standards and money in the goddamned slab than you'll ever play with in your life is again, retarded as hell and peak /diy/hope ya croak in the next "heat wave"As the other anon pointed out, the trusses and purlins need to be engineered to support the local wind and snow load. its oklahoma. no snow, lots of wind. The trusses need to hold up the sheet metal, thats it. The purlins are beefy because lateral loads due to wind are what this building will need to stand up to.your question about type of insulation in a pole barn in oklahoma truly reveals the level of retardation we are dealing withi can't believe the air of superiority in the posts combined with the lack of knowledge. you dont know what you dont knowComment too long.

I need to make huge, heavy, *SOUND BLOCKING* (there's a train right outside...) curtains for these windows. 55" TV for scale.Rate my plan please:>Ordered 40 yards of 480gsm wool melton as the main fabric>Ordered 40 yards of cotton flannel as a backer>Purchased a vintage Singer 201-2 sewing machine (electric, walking food, heavy duty)>Going to just fold the melton around the cotton and stitch 15x5 rectangular panels with a rod pocket in the top or maybe just fabric loops unsure>Going to use tension cable or black gas pipe for the rod unsure>Either in front or behind the pillars not sure yet (there's a ~5" gap between them and the brick), third option is fit to the window frames showing all of the brick, again unsureAI wanted me to add a third layer of fabric in the middle (cotton bump or mass loaded vinyl) and use buckran and pleat tape and add corner weights and shit but I figured that was all excessive.Thoughts? Recommendations? I've never made anything from scratch out of fabric before.
>>3003251Oh and this is completely getting rid of the windows and bricking them up to bring up the mass dampening of the main wall, if you want windows it can get an order of magnitude or two more expensive as you'd need to either get custom made (not something you can easily do yourself) super fucking thick studio windows with a bunch of different thickness panes acoustically insulated between one another and not coupled from the outside to the inside through a single solid frame but multiple "floating" ones, or have two sets of windows completely separate from one another which will probably make it impossible to clean the outside windows or even open them at allIn short, you're just going to waste your money on some fancy blackout curtains and still have to sleep with earplugs unless you spend 10-20 grand to get the room up to a professional level of soundproofingAlternatively, you can blow up the train tracks
