well, yeah, now I really don't want to do the tubes. MacAmp is for my project bench. part of it for me is going to be just the crafting of it, since I want to work on those skills. I planned to make the boards & poo poo removable so I can put them in something else when I get bored with it.

got me some stable systems can also now alter the various scalar fields interactively, and i got round to checking that it does indeed run fine in a browser windowwith a plugin. unity3d status: still owns next thing is to write a velocity field overlay that mimics that wind map thing. ball trees here i come coffeetable fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Feb 11, 2014 |

anyone got any ideas for a UI for interactively altering vector fields? best i can think of so far is to have the generated vectors follow the stroke of the brush

yo could do like surface modeling programs do and just select a bunch of points and then pull out a handle that sets direction and scale

I keep meaning to get back to some of my old DOS programming projects. I started making a graphics library that targeted only old cards (Hercules/CGA/MCGA/Plantronics) but got bored with it. I also started writing a TCP library and got as far as setting up an interrupt handler for the packet driver, receiving ethernet packets, and sorting out ARP packets for processing, but then I discovered mTCP already existed.

PROJECT SMURF UPDATE the blazer rumbles a bit these days. Current status: -New fuel system - new lines, fuel pump, filter, and I rebuilt the carb. -did the rear brakes, they're not non-functional and thats all I ask for right now -installed a little $29 tach just to ballpark my rpms, it works fine -New battery - reman Interstate with a 2 year warranty for $50 cash out the door. fkn deal -Crudely set timing via the greasy marks on the engine Still to do: -Set timing properly. I may need to create a vacuum lockout to limit the vac advance to like 12 degrees. But in order to limit it, i need to get my timing tape in so I can see how much the advance can adds in total. Right now the thing starts and idles like a _dream_ - but on throttle open it stumbles and bogs, and occasionally spits a little poof backfire out the intake. I think what is happening is that vac advance is adding like 20 degrees timing at idle - but then when I lay into it, vac drops, timing retards, power goes away and I get those weird backfires. Hell, it might be a mix thing, I dunno, but I'm really leaning towards timing, as if I lay into it and keep it open, it'll run indefinitely, very poorly - but as soon as I let up and vac goes up, it revs back nicely to idle. If it was a lean/rich condition, it'd either die out as it ran out of fuel further, or come back as it burnt through the excess fuel in the intake Timing on these, stock, is like so: 8 degrees before top dead center static timing; add 20 degrees from mechanical advance; add 20 degrees from vacuum advance to get total timing of 48 deg BTDC at cruise How I want to set it up, I thinK: 16-20 degrees BTDC static, add 20 from mechanical advance, add 8-10 degrees from vacuum advance. Then vacuum drops less advance, I have more timing off idle, and it takes off better. Still a theory, but I think i'm onto something. -Change oil. I ran it for a few last night and then drained out the oil. It's been in there since '09, but has only 800, maybe 1000 miles on it. It's not like it's full of sand or whatever. Going to run cheap oil, change after a day or two of hard runnin, then put in good oil. -The water pump is functional, but old and rusty and doesn't look nice. I kind of want to put a new one on just for insurance. -Um, fix the loose turn signal other than that it'll be ready to drive to CO, barring random breaking of crap.

Home beer brewing status update: got some swing top glass bottles (no more CO2-losing plastic ones) and some poo poo to make Weissbier. Can't wait to brew it up this weekend  Haven't had the time to solder the fermentation temp logger together yet, though. Hopefully I'll get time to finish it this weekend.

Hopefully I'll get time to finish it this weekend. is this gonna be just a logger or also a controller of some kind? is there a point in knowing the beer temperature after the fact? or is it so slow that you can check it once a night and adjust accordingly or w/e the only beer i've made is ginger beer and that one basically has a wide range of acceptable values and the only possible fuckup really is "it exploded everywhere" so it's pretty easy

Sagebrush posted:is this gonna be just a logger or also a controller of some kind? is there a point in knowing the beer temperature after the fact? or is it so slow that you can check it once a night and adjust accordingly or w/e fermenting beer takes a long time. anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the type of beer you're making. so hopefully it'll let me catch any fermentation temp issues before they ruin the batch (does it get too warm during the day, too cold at night, etc.). plus, if the batch doesn't turn out it'll let me know if the fermentation temperature was the problem or not. depending on the recipe and the yeast you use, you can have a decent temperature range or a very narrow one. while this'll only be my second batch, most of the recipes I've looked at seem like they'll turn out alright if you keep it close to 72 degrees F (except lagers, which you've gotta keep at, like, 55 degrees F). eventually this thing'll control the fermentation temperature directly. i'm thinking that i'll put the fermenter in a small fridge, and then control the fridge via a relay.

Jonny 290 posted:PROJECT SMURF UPDATE is this a sbc? do you have a timing light? most of the time base timing is given assuming no advance at all, so make sure you have the vac advance disconnected (you don't need to plug it if it's connected to ported vacuum, but you should if it's connected to manifold) and just dial in base timing + mechanical advance. id say do all your tuning without the vacuum advance, it's only there to get you better economy while cruising. it will get out of the way when you step on it, anyway. i made the mistake of leaving it connected while setting the base timing on my motor, and it ran like garbage until i realized that i was way retarding it from where it wanted to be. i guess the sweet spot will vary from motor to motor, mine's a 350 with vortec heads, the lt4 hot cam and 1.6 rockers, and it likes about 36 degrees all in. i think that puts base timing around 10-12 degrees btdc, although this is an msd distributor so yours might have more or less mechanical advance. you'd want to set it so your base+mechanical timing (with the advance "all in") is wherever you want it / the book says it should be, and let the idle fall wherever it may. then reconnect the vacuum advance and let it do its thing. sorry for all this ai in your yospos Raluek fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Feb 13, 2014 |

a distributor isn't a computer but the spark advance is. carburetors are definitely computers (input: throttle position, engine speed, air density; output: fuel flow) but they aren't general purpose or turing complete
