I kinda wanna take on a big/long term project. Its been done before but I want to build a UAV of some kind with an amateur radio repeater on it. Idea would be to be able to fly up a couple hundred feet while out in the back country and essentially use it as a super tall antenna. Quadrotor and...

I was gonna buy like 6 of those to make a security camera system. Still might on the next house.

What raspberry pi is it? If the coupon doesn't expire soon just swing bye next time you're in that area? lol

I mean if you don't want it I'd happily take that off your hands. Otherwise do it! They're pretty capable little computers. Raspbian is a distro of linux and is very functional. Could make for a good little computer. I'm running another one in my 3d printer. It allows me to network the...

I have one I'm running Raspbian on to use as a mini PC for playing movies on my portable projector. I can power the raspberry pi and projector off a big USB battery pack at 5v. Its a pretty rad setup for offroading/camping trips. What are you trying to do?

It was mostly timing. This is also an entry level job technically. Still making more than I was at the Credit Union but that isn't saying much.

Missed your post somehow! I'm working for a company that builds simulators. My job consists of building PC's and other components. Hours are flexible as long as I am there at least 40 per week. I also don't have anybody micromanaging me, as long as I'm being productive I can manage myself. So I...

I'll bid $51

Workin workin working. New job is AWESOME. I'm sure it'll feel like work pretty soon but I'm in that stage of learning everything and getting to use the fun gadgets still. Gonna work on my bike project some on Sunday. When my tax return comes in I'm gonna start ordering parts.

Thats rad! I underestimated the range that would get you by A LOT.

Picked up a new project today!

I didn't say horrible, just that I'm an asshole which isn't necessarily wrong.

Yeah I like using threaded inserts. Melt em in with a soldering iron super easy. Its just overkill for some parts and in some places they require adding a bunch of extra material to support the insert. The box I designed to hold the MoBo and raspberry pi4 for my ender 3 uses 6 nutserts to hold...

I'd rather the holes come out small than too big. I make sure to print a test cube and some other stuff from time to time and take into account the margin of error in my design. Usually I get it close enough that I don't have to drill anything out. When I'm up and printing again I'm going to try...

And now I feel like an asshole. Thank you @Itaro
