Focus boys. We don't want a visit from the thread derailment police now do we....?
-
@cletus do the slurry sound that high mileage manual diesel's make between gearshifts....
-
Yea I can easy do some setup paths. I get a pretty full version of hsm works with a f360 sub....
-
I can flick you some linuxcnc pathways for testing initially...?

There will probably be a kind of a watershed moment when things click together in your head, however banging about in confusion is required for an unspecified amount of time.

Piece of piss, told ya.
-
You should, the things he does with graph paper makes me diamonds. Edit; Probably my weirdest totp fail comment.
-
Well. I rang the boys to enquire where things were at, and it had gone to scrap 3 or 4 days earlier...
-
1998? I reckon that would be a stretch...
-
Ah that makes sense, I did check the pressures but I am unconvinced that gauge on mine is showing correctly. I might do it with a bike pump, or even go to the garage....
-
Time for more fuckery, the tyre pressure warning light is on in the Carib, I cannot imagine that it actually can monitor the pressures? I disconnected the battery to check the ecu temp sensor was working properly, the light came on when I reconnected..... Any help?
-
Fucks sake, where is the graph?

Random slightly cool stuff you built but not worth its own thread, thread

An update on the bus/shed heater. It is now powered by a 30A power supply, and the exhaust is extracted with a 150mm fan and ducting. I got a whole lot of ducting leftovers for $60 off marketplace. The fan was a freebee from when I worked at a tech company in chch, they cleared the storage out and let us take what we wanted, I grabbed loads of shit. I still have boxes of ally brackets and bus bars in my container... The fan is pulling right on that exhaust so I checked the temps while running it, it hits 43 degrees on high, 30 on low. That ducting isn't sealed so it is sucking air as well. The fan is a Pabst that is rated for 70+ deg so should be sweet. Still need to mount the supply and an RCD in a box for safetys and cut a hole in the shed to waft the fumes out. -
I made an executive decision and bought a 24v 30a power supply. One of the batteries was completely toast, the other not far off it. I used another to get it going but I would still need some more batteries plus something to charge them. I have also discovered it doesn't like anything connected to the exhaust so might extractor fan it.

I am pleased you are taking the biscuit.

Lolol Shit cranks. -
https://waveinverter.co.nz/shop/accessories/powersupply/powersupply-24v-20a/ Or maybe 2x PC power supplies feeding each of the batteries? Basically free from the dump shop.
-
So that supply is 8 amps roughly? Could be worth a try.
-
I am a man who mostly finishes projects. I don't have the room for too much unfinished shit. Maybe. I could actually sit this outside the shed under a wee roof and make holes for the ducting. This means I don't need to worry about the exhaust too much either, then set up a couple of panels for charging the batteries.... It could work.
-
So how about I get an 8 or 10a 24v power supply and hook it up to the batteries. That will run the fan and supply a bit of charging current....?
-
I may as well leave it running in the room and forgot the heater completely.
-
Yea the batteries make sense to deal with startup, then it's a case of supplying running current. In reality I would probably disconnect the power when unused as long as it had enough jibber to charge it up a bit while running the fan.
-
What about a big PC power supply? I don't know how common 24v would be on those.
