Mitchard posted:I have a soft spot for lovely pawn shop guitars. Not like some vintage rare fender with a blemished headstock I mean like nasty looking hair metal guitars that looked like they were dragged behind a truck. Over the years, my favorite has been absorbing all the good parts from all these guitars and become some kind of mad-max hell bitch. that's ill. my main guitar for ~17 years has been a late 80s Yamaha neckthru that somebody ruined the value of by painting with auto paint. Loaded up with EMG's and a Kahler trem. it is the hottest shred axe i have ever touched.

last night i rage-shopped at radio shack and paid $4.99 each for two 2200uf caps. then i paid several more dollars for some perfboard. i went home and miraculously found a fuckin' matched pair of 7805 and 7905 regulators. i have my mixer PSU board about 1/3 done, tonight i just need to solder some more parts on and see if it will resurrect my old mixer, so i can write and play music again, because i'm dying without it

tested new power supply for four hours last night. mixer works. i put a 40mm fan hanging off the +5 rail, blowing on the heatsinks, its silent and they stay only slightly warm. it is now quieter than it was brand new. oh also i found a blown 10uF cap on the board that handles the onboard effects, i replaced that and that part started working again. --- this episode is really making me regret throwing my MX2642a in the garbage. it developed a hum which i would these days instantly diagnose as a bad cap and fix, but 8 years ago i wasn't quite as swift with troubleshooting, so i threw up my hands and replaced it. sigh. those mixers were the ones that mackie sued them for because they cloned the VLZ channel strip

https://github.com/jonny290/yosvape/blob/master/yosvape.ino the core of yosvape is just a fuckin straight import of the arduino PID library. i didnt even change the constant names i was so lazy i never messed with the PID tuning library that is meant to work alongside the PID lib itself, but i heard it can help you get it pretty decently tight, tweak from there.

WorkingPeer posted:did you autotune the yosvape, or tune it manually? nah i started with some generic constants and then tuned a _bit_ but not even much. then i just proportionally bumped those up for the less active modes. I really need to do an adaptive algorithm that starts out vague and gets more accurate over time, but it does have a bit of an oscillation problem if you time the hits wrong, so you can't get too aggressive with the PID constants

c is the simplest thing. i think everybody understands pointers at this bit, then its p much enums, structs and dont forget to break out of your cases. its just that ppl take a look at linux.c and freak out cause macros? idk.

yeah i think when we head out im going to get rid of my shoebox full of radio shack shitirons and pick up a hakko 888 and a butane torch. should cover me im going to be losing a lot of power tools and poo poo, no more random chainsawing in the back yard for me. need to get my electronics rig sorted. ideally i would build a portable workbench type thing with built in storage and everything ready to go, something that easily breaks down for transport and fits in the back seat or something.

i have a sql db to tweet thing for fayettevillains, basically i run through the loop and do a $timer += 15; sleep($timer) in the loop. obv this places an upper bound on how much traffic the bot could take before backing up forever but its an order of magnitude higher than what fayetteville produces as far as cop logs

yeah the cores of uav's and little flyin things are commodity now. at this point its how you apply them i was sketching out an idea for an indefinite lifespan drone that would seek out power lines and hang from them by a hook thing that was also an induction coil. i think you could steal enough juice to recharge it. imagine swarms of never landing dronebots

Nachoes posted:i built a console to run special effects for theatre productions. it's an arduino controlling a bunch of relays which control solenoids/solenoid valves/glow plugs full of flash cotton/whatever. i used it for a show where a room gets shot up to make things fall off the walls/bullet holes appear, and keep it synced up with the gunshot sound effects. Nice. I dont know if I would use midi or dmx for this project, i know more about midi obv, but i would definitely retool it as a separate sequencer and then an interface box. if you could do like a modular approach where they could have 20 outs and do 10 squibs 3 solenoids 7 flash cottons, or whatever, i would think that really flexible
