Just bought a DR350 and would like to do some trail riding outside the city.

Anyone ever go to Highland Park or Durhamtown? I'd like to ride with someone else. I'm not super fast but can go at an OK clip.

I have a truck if someone needs transport up there.

Hi folks,

Are there any mid century modern 'corner' pieces of furniture. Ideal would be a small credenza or hutch that can fit snugly into a corner.

Thanks, Adam

Hey r/diy.

Wife and I just bought an old craftsmen. All of the exterior trim around the porch is original and has about 30 layers of paint on it. I'd like to remove the trim, replace, and paint.

I'm going to remove a single piece and see how it goes but I have some concerns and need some questions answered. Hopefully y'all can help.

The porch has columns and between each column there are are 1x8s stacked on top of each other to make a facade that is about 16 inches tall with a piece of trim in the middle. I'd like to replace the 1x8s but I'm scared they are structural and need advice.

Here is a picture:

You can see the piece of trim I removed from the leftm

Hey folks,

I need to get an emissions inspection for my 2001 land rover discovery.

The ABS light is on. Will that fail the inspection?

Note that the check engine light is NOT on.

Thanks Adam

Hey folks,

I'm using the elasticsearch-model and elasticsearch-rails.

I have everything working great for regular search. However, I cannot get my completion suggester to work. It always returns an empty result.

Here is my mapping:

Hey folks,

This is my first drone build. I'll be making an FPV drone because I'm interested in racing and I like the idea of a first-person view anyways.

Below, I'm going to list all of the components I'm thinking of buying. I'm hoping I can get some feedback on a few things:

1. How will these parts play together? Will they fit properly and interface well?

2. Is this drone under powered or over powered? How is my combination of frame size, motor torque, and prop diameter? I'm going for a beginner build.

3. Have I hit a nice balance of maneuverability and speed?

4. Is this a 'beginner' drone or would it be difficult to operate for a newbie?

5. Anything else I should be buying for

Hey folks,

The book I am thinking of is an old hardcover book. It had short biographies of maybe 20 famous scientists.

It included ancient greeks like Archimedes, and went through time all the way to Einstein.

A few scientists I remember in the book:

Archimedes Democritus Newton Hertz Einstein

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey folks,

My name is Adam. I've been using the ESP8266 for a little over a year now.

I started a web service about 5 months ago with a friend that makes it easier for DIY folks to get their projects online. I figured the hardest part about IoT Projects is setting up and programming the web server. I made IoT Pipe with that in mind.

Its a web app that allows users to easily send and receive data between their projects and the internet. You can:

1. Send data to IoT Pipe in order to graph, download, and analyze it.

2. Send data to your devices. For example, turn a GPIO low or high.

3. Notify. Based on the data you send to IoT Pipe you can send MQTT messages to select devices.

Hey folks,

My kitchen sink sprayer is always on, regardless of whether it should be. As soon as you turn on the faucet it starts spraying.

Here is a link to the brand: https://secure.img1.wfrcdn.com/docresources/10785/6/64762.pdf

It is a Rohl Kitchen Sink and Faucet.

I took apart the sprayer and the push button is moving in and out as it should.

I also removed the faucet via the set screw and removed the diverter. It appears to move as it should.

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance. Happy to post specific pictures, videos, etc. Just let me know what you need.

Hey folks,

Where can I do my own auto-work in Seattle? I live in an apartment building and doing it in their underground garage is probably not an option. Space is too tight and it is poorly lit, plus it breaks the lease.

For inquiring minds I'm planning on replacing the lower control arms on my Volvo s80. Should take about 4 hours and it'll require me to put the front end of the car on jack stands.

Thanks! Adam

This is for a 2001 Volvo s80 2.9L (non-turbo).

Car was running real rough the past few days. Took it to a shop and they said it needed new upstream O2 sensors.

I opted to do this work at home, which might have been a huge mistake.

I just finished replacing the two upstream sensors (with the bosch OE equivalents).

The car started right up after I finished but stalled 2 seconds after starting. After that, it won't start.

When I try to start I notice 3 things:

1. It sounds like there is no compression
2. There is a very high pitch noise
3. After you stop cranking you hear a loud click happening somewhere near the intake. The click sound occurs 3 or 4 seconds after you stop cranking.

Hey folks,

I'm working on a new piece of software that makes storing info in the cloud (dropbox, google drive, etc) more safe and secure. I'd love to chat with someone who has actually had one of their accounts hacked or data stolen in some way.

Thanks for any and all help. Adam

Hi folks,

I'm looking for a step-up DC-DC voltage converter.

I need an output of 3.3V with a peak current of 500mA. Typically current will be ~100mA but can reach 500mA for several seconds at a time.

The input voltage will be approximately 3 volts (2 AA batteries).

I've searched far and wide and the only regulators I can find that can step-up to 3.3Volts don't meet my current requirements.

Any suggestions r/askelectronics?

Thanks, Adam

Hi folks,

I'm new to esp8266 firmware programming. I'm trying to start off by writing simple programs.

I'm using ubuntu linux with the esp-open-sdk. I can compile and flash simple programs (like blink) but I'm really stumped with printing debugging info to the console via the os_printf() function.

I have a simple user_init() function which includes two function calls.

1. uart_init(115200,115200);
2. os_printf("hello world");

I am expecting to see "hello world" printed on /dev/ttyUSB0 when I use the command "cat /dev/ttyUSB0".

I've already used stty to setup the serial port. I have it setup as such: "stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 raw" and "stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200".

I have my esp8266 wir

Hey everyone,

Question for some C users.

I have a polynomial class in which I have overloaded the '*' operator declaring it a 'friend' of the Polynomial class. The definition looks like this:

friend Polynomial operator * (const Polynomial & poly1, const Polynomial &poly2) { Polynomial retValue; //do stuff return retValue; }

In the Main function I have: Polynomial p = p1 * p2;

when I go to print the variable 'p', in the main function it shows as empty, however, when I print the 'p' variable from inside the '*' function, immediatley before I return it holds the correct result.

Any idea what is going on?

thanks for any help
