TIL family drama

- Posted in Uncategorized by

Talking about financial futures and etc. Then grandmother comes in talking about old family drama, not to trust certain aunts and uncles. Swindling and the such. Tbh some of these guys i already didn't have the most respect for anyways lol. But learning about how big family "empires" can fall from misplaced trust in a greedy son can open ones eyes about...frailty might be the word?

Was fun and all. Learned that I'm "trustworthy" but honestly its more like: "Huh? Just don't be an ass no? ._. ". Also that one of my aunts used to do day trading back before she moved to the US.

Not too much more I care to say but I told my grandmother. "Yup, there's always one in a family"

jquery vs vanillajs

- Posted in Uncategorized by

vanillajs plain js lol. But jquery is also originally intended as a polyfill! there are many cases where jquery is unnecessary but there might be just a little too much negativity about it.

For the most part though, in today's standard of updates and etc, it really shouldn't be a big deal to work with mostly vanilla js and worrying about dead browsers. stupid IE >:[

Sent in a PR to HTMLy to use alot less of the jqueryUI library. The only thing left is tag auto completion which is nice but gotta somehow get around that. At the very least, I was able to slim the lib down to just what is needed instead of the whole fat library.

Impressions of htmly so far

Pros:

  • List item
  • lightweight
  • simple
  • flatfile / no DB
  • ez backup
  • easy for me to contribute I think

Cons:

  • broken file upload (but only for me?), now fixed
  • loses post edit of page left and back
  • no auto save/draft
  • doesn't stay logged in very long
  • bug: when logged out when trying to post, the page gets all messed up and doesnt actually show a login either

I have hope for this platform. I think it'd be cool to contribute these fixes my self.

Going to Robin Nano 3 board

- Posted in 3D Printer by

Finally received the MKS Robin Nano V3.0 + wifi module + TS35 v2.0

Mounted up the display and board to my... mounting panel. time to flash the board with initial firmware. As of getting it, official Marlin doesn't support the board yet and is awaiting pull requests from MKS. Looks like its the same as the SKR Pro that needs a SD card to upload the firmware in addition to 'assets'. I'm assuming the assets are because of the graphical interface / touchscreen.

thought log before i proper write up.

  • received it, mounted to board
  • firmware configure from mks marlin fork
  • path too long lol
  • can't have ADVANCED_PAUSE_FEATURE or LCD_BED_LEVELING because the screen (ts35v2) isn't actually supported yet. fixed by using TFT_COLOR_UI instead of TFT_LVGL_UI
  • welp. this didnt come with a microsd, gotta find a small one. do i still need the assets folder? O_o

Mar 14, 2021

  • copy Robin_nano_v3.bin not firmware.bin
  • seems like fan 1 and fan 2 are reversed? ): - PR sent
  • ts35 encoder is not default 4 pulses per step. maybe 8?

Mar 15, 2021

  • sweet. my PR was accepted.
  • Confirmed, Fan1 PWM control is dead. Fan2 is working
  • the blower fan is terrible and vibrating the entire printer. (unrelated to board)
  • enabling FAN_SOFT_PWM fixes Fan1 (fan0)
  • RUMBA32 board confirms the same problem/requirement of enabling software PWM for the stm32f4 citing a problem with stm32duino core

Mar 16/17

  • finished printingthe new parts YAY

Mar 18, 2021

  • mounted. setting up probe offsets and etc. yey

got this up and running! Don't forget write permissions /: and don't forget you need to really be sure who the apache user is.
