How’s your shift so far?
I should’ve paced myself a bit more here


I should’ve paced myself a bit more here
And I’m throwing in the towel. I’ve done, redone and redone the wiring. I’ve traced the wires from stepper to driver and verified via manuals about which wire goes where. Redone the hall sensor multiple time. Had new mounting plates reprinted and new arms reprinted due to them breaking after multiple times taking things down. I’ve asked for help on discord. Stepped away and tried again. No luck at all
I know this is probably a massive user error but no matter what I’ve tried, I can’t get the setup to calibrate.
So to those wanting to do this: it’s not easy if you’ve never done something like this. I’ve installed CANbus gauges in my car but for the life of me I cannot wrap my head around this.
Need to connect the arduino, then see if it all calibrates.
Change your blinker fluid. There’s a short in the old fluid.
Once a week I’ll cook her something fresh. This week it’s sushi-grade Salmon and she goes absolutely haywire for it.
I used this to make carpaccio. So it’s just stove cooked but plain. Vet assured me it’s very safe for her
Not because my family doesn’t see me; on the contrary they do.
But because my eldest teen hasn’t said anything. He is angry at all of us at home and he has his reasons. I’ shared a topic months ago over it:

Towards the end of therapy, the therapist told me:
he feels you are proud of him and he’s seen you work at improving
he’s aware of what his part in on it
he’s doing better. With time he will come around
That was April. In that time, he’s pulled away again. We haven’t had any blow ups with him. We’ve invited him to Canada for the Grand Prix, to family outings, everything. He doesn’t want to talk to us. It’s taken a toll on me. I’m moments away from crying at any time, but I chug along because my wife and other two kids need me too.
His bumper was falling off on his car; I waited for him to fix it but he said he didn’t know how; I fixed it for him but was reprimanded by him (“ I don’t need you do to these things for me. If I need help I’ll ask!”)
He left one day and his car sounded weird; I let him know but to let me know if he needed help. He asked me for help, so I waited for him to get home. When I asked him to come scan the car so he knows how to use the ODB reader, he said “just do it”
I did; got the code and found the fix. But I’m letting him decide if or when he wants to fix it. I did let him know it’s his responsibility and if the engine dies, I don’t have the allotted funds yet to fix a worse case scenario.
Father’s Day…nothing. Not a peep. I know I’ve said I’m raising him not to rely on me but to decide on how to seek help and what not….but the manner in how it’s playing out is heartbreaking. He wants nothing to do with anyone at home, or any extended family either.

Also: how easy is it to source the parts for these builds?
Maybe it wasn’t but I just never noticed it till yesterday.

As title states. Back in 2024 I was able to get a copy of the Italian papers featuring Charles Monza and Monaco wins however I can’t find the old users name anymore.
So I’m asking if there’s anyone out there willing to help me out? Obviously I would pay for your time and shipping costs.
Thanks in advance!
Here’s a through the lens video of my Super 50PPD. I *want* to try a MOLED but am curious: is it even worth it?
I am very happy with my headset and use it about 1-2 hours a night for some races. Every time i start a session im still fairly blown away by how far the racing game genre has come. I remember playing on Rad Racer, Excitebite….then gran Turismo, NFS etc.
Previously I was on Q3 + VD and noticed immediately how much more visually mind blowing the Pimax setup is. I’ve read the colors are more vibrant on the MOLED but from a personal standpoint I’m very pleased with how things look in mine and am unsure if I’d even notice anything.
My kids absolutely loved Cars growing up, and since today is the 20th anniversary of the movie, I wanted to do something they might get a kick out of. Spent $50 for the frame off Amazon.
Not done; need to trim and cut a bit to get it to fit better but I worked last night and I’m sleepy now.
Once this is done I’ll work on wire management.
My mom has early dementia. When you talk to her you won’t notice it until a few minutes into the conversation, as she begins to repeat herself
My dad called me earlier tonight to tell me my mom got mad at him and drove off with the car. I had to drive around while my sister coerced her into staying put. 15 minutes (which felt like hours) my youngest and I found her.
She is forgetful and in denial over her memory; she’s still lucid enough to know if we are tracking her or blocking her from driving, so I had to lie to her, as did my son. If we take the keys, she gets mad….so we came up with a story that we ended up at target looking for a Lego set. We coerced her into the store, and my son led her to the toys while I updated my sister and dad. After 20 minutes we paid, and then I had to come up with a story about why I needed to leave my car and drive her and her car to my house
30 minutes later we are home…only for me to come up with a story about “why are we taking Uber back? I can drive you to pick up your car”
Finally after almost 2 hours we get back home and she’s more calm and agrees to just sleep. She’s been asleep since 10pm and I’m sitting here trying to stay awake in case she gets up and is confused over her whereabouts.
Dementia is cruel
