So, together with a friend, we have decided to make our own console for fun and giggles. This surely is an undertaking but this is an idea we were considering for a long time and as we got more and more experienced with circuits, embedded programming, 3d printing and stuff like that, I feel like it would be finally in our reach.I never really looked at other people's similar projects, I have no idea what I'm doing honestly, but I can write code and I can use google so I think we will figure it out and get there eventually.I will post our progress in this thread.
>>2966575Looking good. I noticed your webms haven't don't have sound. Have you got the audio circuitry working yet?
>>2966636The audio circuitry and driver/task are there and do work, I can play pcm samples. But I do not emulate PICO-8 sound system yet. That will be the next big thing to do after graphics, but I think I will save it for last since it's not really essential to play games. PICO provides basically a tracker with 4 channels, with some predefined and custom waveforms and bunch of filters. That will be much tricker to emulate somewhat accurately than graphisc and I never wrote synthesizer before.

>>2966379Me again. I rolled back to just the spline and recorded what I was doing. The goal is a 3x15 grid of these oval-ish shaped cutouts, done in such a way that I can edit the spacing between them in the future if things change. Someone I know makes/jars/sells salsa, so it's a jig to line up their expiration date stamp with their labels. The outline for the stamp shouldn't change, but the label size/layout might. Vid 1/2.
>>2966379>>2967800Vid 2/2. What the fuck am I doing wrong that this shape, which is clearly moveable, stops being movable when I try to put it on the dimensioned construction line?
Is there an elegant software solution for organizing and browsing my collection of STLs? At some point, a directory explorer isn't good enough. I wish I could see a preview, thumbnail, tags, etc.
>>2967566I could see that. At least as a tongue in cheek introduction.>>2967730Why would bondtech try to appeal to the common folk when they can charge a premium like prusa? Be glad it wasn't nuE3D, who brought it up.>>2967831In linux gnome there's a tool that renders little previews from STLs as icon. Doesn't work with STEPs though and it's pretty slow.
>>2967801You can likely do whatever you're trying to do some other way. Sketch mirrors, patterns, and offsets in fusion are temperamental.
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.
Well if theres an issue with radiowaves you can cover the wires in aluminum foil tape.Makes sense to me with the tin foil hat meme.
>>2967047I think Gary already brought this up before and in typical fashion came up with the world's worst way to not just use a shielded cable
>>2967047nope then it can't emit heat thereby making it no longer a heatsink with radiator effect>>2967038I came up with it, saw very little merit, actually studied it with chatgpt's teachings, and found its a non issue. you are embarrassed chatgpt disagrees with you and you are in error.

So a few days ago the pressure tank on my well pump sprung a leak. I replaced it with pic-related. Everything was fine at first, but after sitting for about half a day or so my water has taken a kind of plastic-y/soapy taste. It's still crystal clear. I am assuming this is due to the bladder and newness of the tank and it'll go away after some time. Do any anons have experience on how long it'll take? It's not the most foul thing in the world, but definitely not something I'm going to cook in or drink if I can help it.
Read the instructions, it tells you how many times to flush it
>>2967044They do not, actually.
>>2967045does it tell you not for drinking water?if not just keep using it. a trick will be to turn off the pump and totally empty the tank, preferably through the hot water tank because that store and amply some of the smell/taste. then start pump and fill it up again. repeat untill taste is gone or stop being so picky.
>>2967040Why are you guys using plastic?Just use steel containers. Less microplastics
>>2967063There is a rubber balloon inside the steel can, anon. >>2967059Will do.
>>2965962I guess this is the home design/decor thread. How the fuck do I design my apartment? It’s not a studio it has walls a bedroom a separate kitchen but it’s 400 square feet. It used to be a hotel once upon a time someone bought the building and converted the units. I have a lot of free range for upgrading, can paint walls etc it just has to look good.Do I just go with a white and get brown walnut furniture? It has white tile. I was contemplating getting that fake snap in place wood flooring for everything except the bathroom and kitchen. I’m not trying to do anything over the top just make this place feel like my homeWhat wood color for the floors?If I can get this done, the paint and floors to match it I could more easily get furniture that looks good. It’s currently got the landlord special with this nasty blue paint on every wall. I’m thinking white because if I don’t like it then that’s easy enough to decide on a new color and paint over

this Composting seems more complex that it needs to be.https://www.primrose.co.uk/blog/gardening/12345/Is this just because its from UK?I'm thinking of buying a house out in the sticks with Septic System and there is bunch of no-no's for Septic so I figure I'd start a big compost out in the Back 40.How do you keep a Compost bin from becoming a Fly Factory, even if follow all these rules?WTF will happen if I dump all types of food into Compost?WTF about "Composting Toilets"? Do they stink real bad when you open the lid to drop another Deuce and a Half?

>>2967905I'm building it, boys. It's going to be less "hat" and more "bridge" because I've got a perfboard offcut that's about the right size and I don't want to do the upside down trick, but I'm building it.
>>2967916Imagine going back to 1987 and telling someone that you're building a hat for your Pi.
>>296792024 hours in our world would give anyone from 1987 permanent psychosis and/or brain damage from the sheer shock of everything.
>4 hours to do a <20 joint THT projectThis is why I was putting it off>>2967920An 80s nerd would get it if you explained that it was an expansion board for your computer. It's the part about receiving the time from military satellites with 10ns accuracy that would raise an eyebrow.
>>2967842oh well, when calculating the transformer I forgot that I even had put a half wave bias winding in my schematic. Doesn't matter there's space.So the way it is, there's R from the rectifier out to a cap, supposed to charge it until it comes on and the cap is supposed to hold above UVLO until the transformer is operational.Now I am wondering: I might aswell put a PFET in there, with a smaller resistor, and use, for example, the bias output to turn off the boot circuit. But the above is probably good enough if I R and C are large enough.Thoughts?
Sledgehammer thread. Has anyone used both Fiskars and Wilton sledges? How does the vibration reduction of the handles compare, are the wedge faces (whether on Fiskars or on the handful of other companies doing them) useful or a gimmick?
>>2966262Hey I'll take it xD Even pay for shipping

You want the handle short enough that you can easily start a stake but long enough that you can get a good rhythm going when swinging it hard.

Has anyone successfully made a doppler radar for measuring bullet speeds using hb100?
I guess, the only way is to know is to try and make it.>>2959892code is provided by manufacturers...What problem here is, is it capable in reading signals reflecting off of such small object?
I remember reading somewhere of somebody making a bullet speed device by using 4 sheets of aluminum foil and a device that can measure the voltage or maybe it was ohms.So 2 sets of aluminum foil sheet; each set a distance apart and noted, and each set has the aluminum foil sheets like .125" away from each other.When the bullet hits the first set of aluminum foil there is now voltage passing from sheet 1 to sheet 2.And a few milliseconds or whatever the same exact thing happens to the second set of sheets.A little math happens using the recorded time and the known distance between the sheets and you have your speed.The sheets can usually be fired at several times before they disintegrate, and calibration is done by having both sets of sheets as close as possible and recording the offset.
Yes, can be easily done...have a high frequency square wave source, have pulse counter that has a trigger for starting the count and stopping it and connect those triggers to the plates and count pulses.by that point, i'd rather use stereo recording-PC sound card and place mic at muzzle and other at target
found it.
>>2967008obviously needs mods (change the oscillator with the trigger part, add more digit and speed calc will still be manual (unless you use microcontroller)
anons i need some help. No degree, 31, current job not bad but I dont care dedicating myself to it, instead I want to seriously learn some trade.I came across low voltage electrical+low voltage tech which sounds like something id like a lot, especially in the long term, im open to other work like it if anons know.Any anons know a good path to take for getting into something like this for a career? Id like to start an apprenticeship ASAP but not even sure how to find something like that where someone would take one with 0 experience. I also live in tge south USA where unions apprently suck, and I worry about having to stick around after an apprenticeship because I want to move 100% in like 5-6 years
>>2964696Working in a trade usually isn't about doing what you like
>>2964922not seeing much of a choice, college isnt an option right now and low volt seems right up my alley in a lot of ways. Its office shit or learning a real skill via trades. Trade sounds best in the 10-15 year range>>2964908sent some emails over the weekend, but I need a trade school with working apprenticeships/ojt, not simply or mostly class based
>>2964947If you are applying for trades cast a wide net and apply to several. apply to the low boltage, electricians, hvac, etc.. find a list of trades that you are able to apply or test for. you can try to start working as assistant with a handy man. It can take months to get a call. Your best bet is to know someone. I'm a mariner by trade.
>>2964716Yeah you wouldn't last a day in the trades, fruitcake.
Try cold-emailing surveying companies to be a rodman (entry level), they'll take anyone who shows up on time. If you actually care about it and study, you can work independently (still under a licensed guy) within 2 years, meaning you can live anywhere you want.
>>2954520Iv seen this before and its not a house I think it's the GM corp office. its called "Progress" and this was it in 1980 but the original office was built in the late 50s or early 60s during the Swinging era.sunk in living areas were the big thing back then. kind of like a Den for Swingers to swing
>>2954522those are called Open Tread Stairs and babies would crawl up or down them and then crawl between the stairs and get caught and hung up or fall to the floor sometimes at a hieght that would kill themCalifornia was one of the first "Nanny States" >copy pasted law1012.10.1 Guardrails. Guardrails shall be provided on the open sides of stairways and landings that are more than 30 inches (762 mm) above the floor or grade below. Guardrails shall be not less than 36 inches (914 mm) in height measured vertically from the nosing of the tread to the top of the guardrail.
>>2957093big houses like this aren't cabins. they're retreats and if you have a house that big in the mountains it should be more Germanic or Scandinavian. The classic Wood or log cabin is more Slavic. Germanics used stone in the risers. much more attractive and culture. think of it as Russians simplifying shit besides the year of the Tzar the Russians are simple minded fucks. they Slavic use duct tape to fix the ISS and other space crafts, they're cheap bastardsJMHO
>>2959782they didn't look like that in the 1960s and 70s. they were beat up pieces of shit. when the wall came down, modernization happened. they actually got facade changes out with shutters and shit. before that they were very basic bitch
>>2961493Frazier before that
they say a Cat Stove burns clean and shouldn't the exhaust be super hot? But they say CS exhaust can be cooler than normal. Is that because a CS runs "slower"?Regardless, how about a Stack Unit inside the house between stove and ceiling with a bunch of steel bars running through it and becoming outside fins to suck more heat. Make it removable so you can take it outside, dose with gasoline, and burn off any Creo build up every few months.Maybe even a small fan inside the SU, up at top where exhaust will be cool, in case its needed to such the cooled exhaust out reliably. I'm thinking a small electric fan in SU, along with external household potable fan blowing on the SU, would use much less energy (money) than the value of the extra heat (Vs electric heating bill).I'm seeing lots of ads for Wood Burning Stoves, but not much about making the air (exhaust) tight connections at the stacks. Is there a bunch of laws or just Codes about that to prevent idiots like me from killing a house full of guests? I'd have a couple-few CO detectors.Maybe something like this, and the stove itself would be on four extra steel plates which would be slid out to allow it to lower, for a bit of room to slide out the SU.Why can't or don't they make stacks so the dreaded Creo-build up fire just burns out the top, and doesn't set the house on fire? Just make the inner stack out of thick enough hi-temp steel, and make the outer layer spaced enough, or even double layer.Seems like any Creo-fire would be somewhat O2 starved.
>>2964063Also my stove i connected the inlet air to the crawlspace, so it does not suck the combustion air from the living room. This prevents air draft (otherwise you get negative pressure in house, that will suck in cold unheated air through openings in your house)and is safer in case of issues with the stove.
>>2964063I was once told that one metre of flue gas metal pipe will provide 1 kW heat when in use. Strangely, many let most of this heat escape.

I hate cat stoves... They always spread their legs out and try to claw their way out of the stove door when I'm putting them in there. Your average cat does not contain many BTUs either. Lot of work for not much heat. Smell is a bit offputting too. 0/10 would not recommend.
>>2964668I had better luck with hobos. Even dry, they're relatively greasy, often impregnated by booze. You only has to check if they have a phone or something, burning batteries can ruin your stove.
should I buy a chinese excavator ?they are so cheap
spent a few hours in a hitachi magic wand 135 zero tail this weekend that a neighbor picked up. wasnt that impressed. the pilots lagged really bad and its looser than a 2 dolla hore. but it had 9k hrs on the meter so it wasnt unexpectedhad good reach for the size and decent power but felt slow on the hydraulics. not ass tippy either which was surprising. i see they have a blade option thats almost as big as a bladerunner which would be slick. have to look and see if its the same undercarriage framehe paid a buck a pound for it
>>2965111>hitachi magic wand 135Grok says thats a dildo
>>2950243But the block will rust after sitting for awhile and lock up

I am going to spend xmas on my mini digger!Hoping to add ten hours on it today and tomorrow
I live in an apartment on the 2nd floor and whenever my neighbor runs their dryer, the exhaust from their dryer comes through my mine and floods my place with dryer sheet odor. Can I block off the pipe, or install an inline damper so no air will get through, or will that be a fire risk?
>>2965995That's just a conspiracy theory
>>2966407then his landlord is a retard and he should still move before he finds more retarded surprises
Pull the hose out from the wall, seal the wall hole up, then rig yourself up a dryer vent lint catcher with a pair of nylons.
>>2965993Just install this or remove your hose and completely cap it and then when u need the dryer, reattache it allIf you cap your side it will just force all the air into the main exhaust vent instead of some of it going into your shit
>>2966805>just cap it offI would do this but I'm concerned about the fire risk. If the smell is coming through my dryer because the main is blocked, what happens when my line is blocked too? I figure the lint will continue accumulating even more and start a fire, then they will trace it back to my blocked pipe and sue me or something
