Re: Boomilever B/C
If the competition will use SkiCiv, please start to play with it as soon as possible. Treat it as a computer game and try to find out its laws. It does not follow physics laws exactly. Try all kind of possibilities, go extreme.

Just change regional to State rule.

Re: ADC legality?
I asked FAQ about external ADC, the answer was no, then changed to not very clear.
I will allow you to use the stm32 and external ADC if I run the event. But, please if possible, make the ES's life easier.

Re: ADC legality?
If only 12bit, you can use Arduino DUE.

Re: Detector Building C
Thanks for the link. I got your idea. Yes, the output of the reference resistor is way more linear with smaller reference resistance. Once they are linear, it is possible to get 0.1C, it needs 750 points and ADC has 1024 point. Maybe you can reduce the error at 0 degree by switching the ADC range? I...

Re: Detector Building C
Show me your setup and calculation. What I did is for 10K reference + 10K thermistor. The 10 bit ADC only has 1024 different values (0-1023). 0-75 degree C to 0.1C, you will need 750 different values. With thermistor non-linear curve, it is very unlikely you can get 0.1C with 10 bits ADC. Still poss...

Re: Detector Building C
I thought low battery would only impact a linear analog to digital sensor, not a thermistor? I tried switching batteries and the readings all remained the same. For reference, two weeks ago the device would read a voltage of 395 for 15 degrees, but now it reads a voltage of 380 for 15 degrees. Noth...

Re: Thermistor issue
Switch to thermistor is a safe way to go.
As long as your sensor is repeatable, you can calibrate with like 1 degree steps, then with interpolation between data points, you should be able to get good results.
The repeatability is the key. If it is not stable, just switch.

Re: Boomilever B/C
1/16 X 1/16 cannot hold while weight from our experience. Now we use 1/32X3/16. To be safe, I saw many people use 1/16 X 1/8 or 3/32 X 3/32.BigBootyBason wrote: ↑March 4th, 2020, 7:42 amif one were to use 1/16 x 1/16 bass for tension from a 24" stick. What weight would be ideal for a 24" stick
