basically a conversion turns something into something else
for example, you cant add an integer and a real together, eventhough they are both numbers...
so instead of going:
Trigger:
Actions
Set Real[1] = Real[1] + Integer
you do this
Trigger:
Actions
Set Real[1] = Real[1] + Real(Integer)
which converts the integer variable into a real number, real numbers are capable of having decimals (ie: 1.50, 3.21), integers arent (ie: 1, 2, 3)
with conversions you can turn an integer into a real, or string, etc and visa-versa (reals with decimals changed into integers just take off the decimal (ie: 1.99 - > 1)
Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
