Here is some real good stuff that has been going on you might have missed.

NUON controller update - Songbird's partner Wire has finally had success mapping my loaned Logitech controller to a button press. The best guess from Songbird says we have something in 2023. We also have the NUON controller schematic

Dragonshadow, the only VM Labs employee that still talks to us has dusted off his NUON Dev Kit and is trying to see if we can old school BBS it so it can be shared for all NUON developers. This is an awesome idea and we should try to do this. Worst case we can do a remote thing on a schedule.

The dev system lives!

I finally got an afternoon to dig out the NUON dev system and get it working. Somewhat surprisingly, it boot right away. The Samsung monitor pictured seems to be on its way out so I switched to a USB video capture device. It's actually more convenient that way to not have an extra monitor...

In that Dev System thread by Dragonshadow he also mentions how we can possibly do a BJL thing through the NUON controller.

I have also heard that the NUON C interface is friendly more people need to look into coding for NUON! We need to make the environment to develop code more available if it takes Dev Environments on virtual servers TheHelper.net is all about that we should discuss stuff.

Old school BBS it? You mean set up the development system remotely? Now that is a cool idea. I guess I just wonder what the development system was like, but ultimately this a really cool opportunity.

I'm sure he won't want it on all the time, but maybe want it on at certain times. Schedule an appointment?

But loving the BBS idea. The Nuon Dev BBS. :p

  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits

  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    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
  • Varine Varine:
    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
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    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
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
