If your car is less than 2 years old, have it done.
If it's more than that, you're giving money away.

sheeeeiiitttt.. you might as well be driving a 1986 yugo

chuck that bad boy in a lathe and use a parting tool

or

place it on a level surface
fasten a marker on a combination square at the height you need
draw your line all around

>>933150
I don't have access to a lathe, but the combination square seems like a good idea

>>933147
Put a lot of extra weight on a guillotine
Wouldn't hurt to add some extra height as well

>>933141
Neither I'd say. One is about 270 degrees, while the other looks like about 630 degrees. A turn is one complete revolution of the current.

>>933142
Okay.
Here you can find the Manual: (Page 8, top left T2)

How to do this? O.o

>>933141
left is 1/2 turn
right is 1 + 1/2 turns

left is what they mean however by 1 turn from the shape of the core. ideally you bring the wires together or cross them to close the loop but if your instructions dont then dont

a winding is a collection of turns that a wire makes

so yes 1 wire = 1 winding, 2 wires = 2 windings

get a closed loop system?

reservoir location would depend heavily on the case, right? What case are you going to use?

When I see the extents of PC cooling systems today, it seems almost like a cry for help. We are reaching the practical limits of silicon and this is the last, desperate push to squeeze the remaining 1% out of it.

>>932599
Its all about fabricating it yourself, to your specific case and rig.

Not sure anyone can really help you there

Pretty hinges.

I have a fucking CRATE of those bastards...

Here's a dumb explanation.

In the photo, they are in their "OPEN" position, so the shutter would be open and flat on the wall.

The one side of the hinge screws to the narrow edge of the shutter board.

The other side of the hinge screws to the narrow edge of the window facing trim board.

When the shutter is closed into the window, the Butterfly of the hinge meets.

When closed the shutter and window facing trim should be flush.

Understand?

>>932292
personally i would run a 2x4 or whatever around the outside to mount them too. then just paint or wrap the 2x4 with aluminum mounting directly to a vinyl window is prolly not such a good idea

>>933357
yes, especially if you use a microcontroller or raspberry pi. Capacitors cost like nothing man. Oh an the L239D is a motor controller, it amplifies the signals from the raspberry pi into something that can power a motor.

You should connect the +vmotor pin though.the RPI power is not used to control the motor

up the butt it goes

>>931748

That's stoopid. It goes in the pee hole, mang.

>>931739

If you have acces to a wood lathe, i would sugest you cut the diameter to about 4 inches in diameter. round up the tip, and dont forget to sand it to a high finish.
That being said its probbably cheaper and easier to just buy a dragon dildo

Depends on what you mean by "get into robotics"

If you mean as a hobby programming little toy arms they probably sell some you can program in python or use some sort of interpreter.

If you mean as a robotics programmer for industrial robots, read this article (http://robohub.org/the-future-of-robot-off-line-programming/) and then decide if you think you can gain the skills required. And it will probably be too expensive for you to do as a hobby.

If you mean how difficult is it to make a walking talking humanoid robot butler with natural language recognition, machine vision, force feedback and self awareness then unless you are rich as bill gates and as smart as a couple of Von Neumanns, Einsteins, Plancks or etcetera then it is going to be far too difficult and expensive for you.

>>932820
been a hobby of mine for years. I've built several. If you are hobbying it, go to robot shop and build a few kits first. You ain't gonna build an R2D2 though. Think smart trainable cockroach.

Maybe start with a Lego Mindstorm kit and work from there.

You can flash a Mindstorm controller brick with a Java interpreter called LeJOS, then write your code in Java.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeJOS

source: Did a Masters in AI and wrote a thesis on using Mindstorms to teach Behavioural Robotics to final year CompSci students

tfw: Your lab partner takes a nap against the wall and you position nine lego trike-bots to assault him in his sleep and turn them all on

Guy with the bunker is still here. Imitation crab meat guy died from imitation crab meat poisoning.

>>931054
What ever happened to lurking more?

>>931054
I think the bunker dude posted a couple days ago in the "current projects" thread, you might have a looksee.

imitation crammeet-anon never delivered and he just disappeared.

bonus: college-stairwell-dwelling-anon got shot on the roof of his uni by miami pd

Distilling ethanol is not Amateur Night, if you fuck up you can cause an explosion, or you could distill it wrong and end up with poison.

>brew alcoholic beverage
>run through still
>??????
>profit

Seriously though, Google will give you tons of simple designs for a distillation apparatus.

As long as you follow the instructions and don't use lead solder, it should be fine.

PROTIP: use a reflux still

>>929880
Not possible to make poison by distilling wrong. Anything bad in the product came from the mash.

Err... RamMap is built to do exactly what you're asking us to do for you. RamMap lets you see which processes are using which blocks of memory. I suggest you go read it's FAQ, learn to use the app, work out which processes are eating your memory, then think about whether you need them running or not.

You could try installing an OS that would allow you to address more than 4GB RAM, for a start - its called Windows 7 (64 bit), x64.

Your (usable) RAM is showing 4GB - used. Nor do I know why you have a 32 bit OS on a 12GB PC, but, throw that shit, it aint activated anyway.

I used citristrip if that helps

Looks like youre removing some sort of verneer?

>>932222
What is that

>>931594
tell your neighbour to set up a barrior otherwise he is posing a health and safety issue on the fucking street and can be arrested

or you can just call the police really

>>931594
Neighbor can afford a welding curtain, and you can tell son NOT to stare at arc lights. Merely being across street isn't much hazard.

>>931601
Yeah, but when you tell a kid to not look at something they do the opposite

>>933021
legit?

>>933022
what the fuck is that just an overly decorated welding glove?

>>933021
looks like just a costume thing?

i dunno, but them welding flip-flops are pretty sweet

the alligator is only for nuts that are already fucked
or I suppose,,,, if you want to make the nut difficult for the next guy to remove....

>>932690
alligator wrench works reasonably well for square bolts/nuts. but everyone switched to hex so yeah, no reason for it anymore.
