3D print gearbox BOM

https://hackaday.io/project/173854-3d-printed-high-torque-servogearbox-version-2

I've just soldered up a z80 mbc, powered it up, I have Io_op led on and the IOS and HALT leds flashing is this correct?

You may get some replies here but you could also try asking in the Stack https://hackaday.io/stack

The "Read More" tag that's offered in the editor for project details does not seem to work. It just shows up as "---------- more ----------" in the final text, but nothing actually gets truncated after it. See for example: https://hackaday.io/project/177317-tuning-fork-clock

Thanks

who here wants to build a UFO and be a trillionaire?

This is a great question for the Stack, be sure to use the new Stack labels and set the type to 'Ask' a question!

Notifications don't seem to be working, I get the "Something went wrong." error message in Chrome, Opera and Edge when I click to display them.

I will PM you.

Having the same problem here

I don't know if it's the same problem but the red dot sometimes reappears even though I have read the notification previously. Also I think I'm not getting some notifications but I can't be sure, and am not fussed about that.

I will like to add my project Jellybean3d printed car to the list of electric vehicles automotive hacks.
How can I do so?

Write a DM to the list owner

Ah, OK I understand how it works now. Thank you @Arsenijs 

happy to help! =)

My project uses cropped screenshots of lists to quickly show the user what's available.

I can (locally) resize any image and place it in a canvas of any size and any aspect ratio, but what I *can't* do is get the image to display within the cropped box on the HAD site. I've spent hours. literally, trying to get the all four edges of my image to show on your site properly.

What magic cropping algorithm does your site use to display these images, and what aspect ratio should I use be to display everything in an image?

(Note that 1:1 aspect ratio clips the bottom of the image.)

https://hackaday.io/project/177652-arduino-libraries-and-test-programs

Peter I have a new standardized ratio coming in an update that is closer to a 4:3 aspect ratio and will be easier to get your images to fit without cropping.

Unfortunately right now the only thing I could recommend is to add more top/bottom padding so that when there is cropping it doesn't hide anything important.

If you private message me I can try to keep you updated on progress.

See the similar project images at the bottom of this project https://hackaday.io/project/160804-lzrtag-flexible-diy-lasertag

I can't get C code (Arduino) to be properly color coded for easier reading and understanding of snippets in my projects log. Examples here https://hackaday.io/project/175605-classic-car-intermittent-wiper-motor-controller/log/185619-software-arduino-code and here https://hackaday.io/project/159415-flip-dot-display-diy-controller/log/152151-it-glows-b

Let me check and see if why it isn't highlighting

Thanks!

I can confirm that code highlighting doesn't work in any language. Everything is a dull shade. Unfortunately I can't point you yet to my page that exhibits the problem because it's still a draft and not public.

Should be back to the way it was.

This will be corrected soon, I'll post here when it's live.

It looks like highlighting is back to normal.

Hi      I would like to contact user:   ' jack'     from Sydney Australia, re his work with the Texas Instruments TMS1000, and the dumping process. Catch me on swchuck at gmail dot com  Thanks

hello

I'm not willing to install a malware browser extension as this project requires in order to follow it. I'm disappointed that Hackaday is allowing this project to fish people into installing this extension just to follow this project.

Hi Glen, what project are you talking about please?

I'm sorry, I thought I was putting that comment in a place where it would link to that project. "SONOFF - ESP8266 update firmware with Arduino IDE" is the project. If you click the link in the description it takes you to the Chrome Store where you have to install a sketchy extension before you can proceed.

Browser extensions are not a requirement in order to follow a project. Let us know which project this is and we can review it.

It looks like the links (domain) on the project were hijacked and forward to alternate addresses now.

Do me a favor and don't relink those old URLs, I imagine they are not what the original poster linked. It looks like he lost his domain and the new owner is forwarding them to some suspect places.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do anything wrong. I was trying to provide what was asked for so it could be reviewed.

Don't be sorry, thanks for bringing this to our attention! 

Thanks so much for taking care of this. I'm extremely happy to know that this ended up being what it was. I didn't really expect that from this site. :)

Sounds sketchy and I can't seem to find it either. If you can still find it, maybe post the number from the link instead, like it is the 37 for this project. Otherwise there should be a report link on the bottom left menu. Click that so a moderator can have a look. https://hackaday.io/project/37-feedback-hackadayio/

Hey Dave. Take a look above. Richard took care of this and this project is not here anymore due to the link beig hijacked.

I’m not seeing any views for a project I posted a couple of days ago: https://hackaday.io/project/177289-think-a-tron-mini. 

Looks like they've updated

Yup. I guess I jumped the gun. Sorry.

Views have definitely stalled before, but should be updated daily, if you ever see it isn't just let me know.

I can't see the pictures in my log, they just look like picture icons, but when i click on them, the picture shows not available…

I hope my logs to my project are not lost!!

I will PM you.

I'd love to be able to use markdown instead of the WYSIWYG editor.

"my notifications" button is literally useless right now, does nothing at all, only stays red.

While we are troubleshooting this, you should still get these notifications items on your feed page.

It's easy to follow a projects but there is no way to find them after. I follow many projects and I cannot find the way to find which projects I follow, it's nowhere to be found?!?

There is a link near the bottom of your profile to view all https://hackaday.io/projects/hacker/117833/likesandfollows

It would be nice if the button "Discard changes" in could ask for a confirmation if there's some text in the editor.

It's not that difficult to click on that text by mistake, and if that happens, anything that was written is then irrecoverably lost.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to open a window/popup asking if you really want to get rid of the text, especially if the web editor is non-empty or, in case of editing an existing log, if the content hasn't changed.

Trying to add an image to a project a log can have DISASTROUS consequences.

I was writing a log, then I wanted to add an image I have on my hard drive. Like for other web editors, I was used to simply drag the image file and drop it on the page, but instead of seeing it added in the text editor, the browser simply proceeded to display that image as if it were a different webpage.

That's not the real issue. What's MUCH worse is that when I tried to go back, the text I already written went completely LOST! No drafts, no "saves" in sight. As if I really didn't care about I've done already.

Please add the ability to recover unsaved web editor contents. Maybe using local browser storage. Things like this can happen anytime - a wrong drag&drop, a link clicked on that page that didn't open a new tab, a browser window closed by mistake...

I don't have a lot of spare time to work on my side projects and keep their logs updated here on Hackaday.io, and it's really frustrating to see part of that time & work wasted because of an unsupported mouse gesture.

Thanks!

I saw your reply below, an unsaved changes prompt is queued for a release this quarter.

Hi all, when I click on the three lines and I see that I have 1 notification, when I click on My notification nothing happens. I'd expect to go to some notification list page? This is on mobile running Chrome. Thanks for any help!

same here, on chrome running on ubuntu

It should actually load a small list in place, sometimes it's a bit slow. In the next update we are working on a better loading and retry visual so you can see what it's doing.

I have the same problem. I'm using Firefox on Windows 10. It's not slow, it simply doesn't work. At all.

This website automatically 'likes' projects for new users. Can you please stop it doing this? People want to know how many people are really interest in their projects, to gauge whether it is worth investing more work. 

The last few signup pages for new users display projects and profiles to follow based on the interests they selected on the previous screen. They also have the option to 'unfollow' them before continuing. Any selections they keep will populate their feed on the next page. It's a fairly common onboarding pattern and pretty important to us. But I would be interested in hearing any ideas you have that could make it better for everyone.

I feel it would be better to make 'unfollow' the default option and 'follow' something they have to actively choose (rather like most cookie acceptance menus). Otherwise projects get cluttered with likes from people who just can't be bothered to untick boxes.

That would explain why some projects have been liked more than actually viewed. I can see it would be an 'onboarding pattern' for a dating agency that wanted people to think they were getting plenty of interest for their money, but it knowingly distorts matters. Why is it "pretty important" to you? Hackaday.io doesn't create an advertising revenue stream. It is pretty important to users that we don't waste further time on projects real people are not interested in.
