Mora Arduino crap: from this recipe: https://www.hackster.io/turingTurtle/esp8266-mini-gaming-console-236d58

Oh, that's why my dev PC has been completely sucking lately. Someone diddle fingered the paging files settings

Just existing in a small bedroom/office while making kiddo a low rent gameboy. Keeping the door shut so as not to wake middy and kiddy

Hmmmm. That figures

I finally got some WFH done after a grot week with a cold, and I had the office window open, so tonight I tidied up the wiring and software for an MH-Z19B CO2 sensor I bought years ago. I guess I'll just shove it in a cardboard box now, with hot glue. (Arduino library here: https://github.com/WifWaf/MH-Z19)

Philips? https://diystirlingengine.com/stirling-cycle-engines/ (evilgrin)

That's way cool, but surely heaps safer to use water - like from a waterblaster. (Less spring pressure in the gas)

You could run your alt off the driveshaft; if you're parked up, you can throw a charger at it. It'd be interesting to see how wide a speed range the reg would cope with. Or off a cam shaft? (out the front, up high?) or roll the belt over pulleys and yoink it out sideways?

... what the hell do you mean it failed when the customer was using it upside down at 10000m altitude and it transitioned from sunlight to -40C and ice formed on the wingtip and the drag co-efficient of the electric thruster changed? It was just supposed to be a trim clip for a Kei car! I've concluded lately that real world testing clarifies the customers needs, (not their stated intent) and also tests some of the assumptions you/they didn't know you were making.

I love the concept, where instead of making some cad model which is only an approximation, and spending forever on tuning the FEA to try and replicate the measured points, boom - measure everything. I reckon there's a biz in plonking solar powered versions of these looking at bridges for preventive maintenance / failure prediction. Esp in USA, where the neoLib brainworms means no one spends on infra maintenance.

Stoopid dummy brain. Anyway, I used this just 2 - 3 weeks ago to have a quick look a a genset powered thing to make sure there wasn't unexpected resonances. Online free (make an account - no spam so far) Euler motion amplification from video https://lambda.qrilab.com/accounts/login/?next=/site/geko/ Samples from some Co who put it on a phone:

/I've been tempted to make a 3axis shaker table for R&D, but seldom actually need it

I'm scratching my head, thinking of different diagnosis techniques. Got some big strong magnets you can smoosh on various bits, to prove they're not it? I'm unclear if this would reach thru panel steel to stabilise a cable etc. Or maybe a bass mass driver (movie seat thumper) running from an oscillator (phone) to get a vibration source when stationery, so you can scramble around under it with less risk to life, limb, marriage.

A weak moving seal to allow the water to push the air thru. I got the idea from watching the concrete pump truck boys cleaning after a splooge. Nick J above seems to have your numbers though. If you pump from the tank up a U-bend another 10m, you'll only get ~ +30%, not worth the effort. Just a heads-up. I worked on Purepods: The 240V pumps were very energy hungry compared to the same thing in 12 / 24V DC. Only an issue if you're running off Photons, probably.

Add height at the high end, and chuck a sponge in? -and there's the pic, you've got height

Wouldn't think so. Memory - maybe, DMA probably. Any bios options to wedge the Ethernet or SATA into slow modes?

Oh, that suggests the PCIe wasn't the limiting factor (yet). 1/ Does a speedtest.net from that box give you better speeds? the 1st answer here has a good set of steps for diag linux networking: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/515365/how-do-i-to-debug-a-slow-network-archbang 2/ how fast does the box copy a file from one array to the other? (Sata-Sata test)

Good stuff. If the PCB rebuild works, 12000 parked jag owners will beg you for their attention, and the roads will again be filled with the low burble of Twiggy carriers wafting to and fro

Or put the OS on the shit PCI/sata and data on the onboard sata

Mobo should have 4x SATA built in, should get you there if you ditch the CD drive, with no need for extra PCI /SATA? Could maybe boot the NAS OS off USB if it doesn't let you store itself in the target drives

Snap, lol

Hmmm. HP ProDesk 600 G1, should be Gb https://support.hp.com/id-en/document/c03846648 I've used an 800 for a long time, surprising solid platform. Not super-duper shit cables?

Mobo No bro?

Lovely. Vids For thread ...
