Is anyone on this board well versed or semi knowledgeable in Metrology?
I have access to multiple FARO Arms at work, but they don't quite fill the need I have. Don't get me wrong, they're great and all but they certainly have their limits. Mostly talking about their physical reach.
I need to take measurements on a fairly large object, test said object, then measure the same points to find the deformation of various parts of the object. The FARO Arms work okay, but are very limited in this aspect and applicable to a few sections of the object, not every section needed. Due to this, I have to use plumb bobs, tape measures, and a laser level to take most of these measurements. Fairly archaic for the 21st century.
My question is, does anyone know of a CMM that can measure across large areas, 5 meters or so? I saw FARO has a system that uses optics, but it requires LoS, which won't work much better. In my researching, I found the DIY Drone community has come up with an Indoor Positioning System that looks like it could be modified to work. Basically set one fixed reference, then measure how far the points moved, up to 5m away.
>tl;dr Radio Based CMM
Basically looking for a GPS like system, except much more accurate, which I would assume is possible since it only needs to cover a SIGNIFICANTLY smaller area than GPS. Also willing to look into making my own system, but would like to see if another solution already exists. Google has nothing so far.
Basically thinking of something with 3 or more "towers" that send a signal to a receiver, which then uses the signals to triangulate a position, ideally with in a few millimeters. LoS not required, only being inside the coverage area of the towers. Seems like it should be do able, right?
Nice to see something /eng/ that isnt gpu, phone, or consumer electronicctap. What kind of accuracy are you looking for? If cm accuracy is ok and the part isnt metal, you could try magnetic field 6dof tracking systems. I use one at work made by polhemus.

I would prefer millimeter accuracy, but a cm might be okay. I mean, the system I use now is extremely archaic. Like I said, tape measures and laser levels.
Unfortunately the parts are a mix of materials, metal or plastic, but metal will always be present. Most of the metal measurements are capable with the FARO arm, the plastic ones not. One system to do both would be awesome, but I think two systems separate systems that provide an increase in precision and duplicity would be plenty good enough and provide an increase in speed enough to warrant the added system.
I have a zenfone 2 that glitches on the bottom half. the weird thing is it only glitches in certain apps. see attached. thanks,
Should've bought a flagship product.

Why are you still using the video pages like the botnet wants you to?
We aren't you streaming Youtube videos through your media player of choice?

So I thinking about getting back in the game and working on a new dream PC and this really going at it for maximum OC and parts. But before I drop like $4k on components I wanted to kinda catch up on the tech since I'm not really knowlegeble about desktop hardware vs software these days.
I did water cooling in the past and I didn't have any issue with it. Even still I was running a EVGA gtx 480 and I still ran into thermal bottlenecks. It probably didn't help that I had it on the same loop for the GPU as well.
I saw a case that has built in phase change cooling but it was pretty expensive at aprox. $280. It also doesn't have a sink for video cards either. Does anyone here do bellow ambient temp cooling and if so any ideas to chill a video card loop? I was thinking about a seperate phase change unit to chill coolant dedicated just for the GPU which aside from that would just be another run of the mill water cooling loop.
Here's the case I'm looking at.

just got a time steel and it's great for the first day of use. Really helpful when driving to see who texted you. Fun watch faces etc. It's not essential tech but it's fun to have.

Useful if you can code C otherwise meme

is it good if I want to get more into C coding?
I got an old imac g3 in really good shape for free, it still works. What should I do with it?
>>55100855
Use it for old OS9 stuff and PPC OS X stuff.
Dual boot Mac OS X Tiger and OpenBSD
Set up Classic in Tiger
Install Tigerbrew
>>55100855
Sell it and get a thinkpad
Fuck weaboos

I'm looking to set up some really loud sound output at about 25-30 kHz. What is the highest dB I can get at that frequency, and what equipment would I need?
Can I reach something like 120 dB?
>>55100779
Check out the construction of air raid sirens.
Sky's the limit.
>>55100843
Those are fairly low frequency. I'm thinking of something that's almost beyond human hearing range.

So, someone has been working on an open source firmware for the Raspberry Pi board (https://github.com/christinaa/rpi-open-firmware), which would make it the first ARM board without any proprietary blobs (since the GPU driver is already open source).
What do you think /g/?
install gentoo.
I think that it is very very good.
If things go well, We could see over clocked Pi's as a replacement for the librebooted thinkpad.
>>55100463
Woa, cool.
Now if we can just get an RPi with a high speed interface for mass storage (SATA or something) and no bullshit lame lcd and camera connectors then I'd buy several.
Why people call javas slow?
The JVM takes time to boot up.

people who say java is slow are also the ones using python
That's just New England lingo.
