[RI Chevy]

LMAO. Nope...

 

[bagpipingtrucker]

Well I'm not too shabby with most Homelites so if anyone is having issues with a saw[emoji848][emoji123]

[RI Chevy]

Oh No...
Now we'll have a Hooskie fixit table AND a homelite fixit table.

I'll start a STIHL CUT ALL DA WOOD AREA FAST FAST!

 

[wcorey]

I'm gonna hafta bring all my (many) stihl problem saws and pile them all on a table, for balance an stuff.

 

[RI Chevy]

Ill have to inspect for sabotage first...

 

[wcorey]

And fix 'em while you're at it...

 

[wcorey]

How many do you think you'll be up for?

Bring em all....Stihls have so few problems it wont take but a few seconds to right them up.



And all the screws will still be in place..
.where they s'pose to be...


Matty comes with buckets of screws and tools to fix hooskies...

 

[malk315]

And fix 'em while you're at it...

Oooooo.... that's gonna leave a mark.

I know, let's have a 'how fast (sic) can you assemble an ms290' contest.
Though I guess we'd need a week long event for that...

just assemble ? thats only a hour did one yesterday

No promises I'll have stuff for the GTG in time but I've got a Raspberry Pi 3B+ working with an SPI based encoder -- the lack of an encoder interface that counts pulses in hardware was what was keeping me off the Pi. The Beaglebone Black seems to have gone off into the sunset last couple years. The Pi has built in WiFi radio which removes a LOT of the pain of the dongle based one used on the black. The load cell will plug right in and work like it always did. The RPM/Torque/HP display will work on the same SPI bus as the encoder module and I'd like to keep those since they are so easy to watch in the sunlight and they do give you that satisfying instant feedback when running a saw.

I have some things I want to change to the software to support gathering all data at very high speeds and storing it raw (all of it instead of what was post process during data gathering) so things can be applied to the data after the fact such as tuning a digital filter to get decent hopefully much more usable graphs even with the vibrations we had from the brake disc etc.

For those who have no idea what this is about -- the electronics for generating RPM / HP / Torque graphs for a chainsaw dynamometer.
Messed with it a bit here and a bit there and getting close to putting this in the original box or perhaps a new box and see what we get...

 

[wcorey]

Ooo Ooo, I'm so excited I almost pee'd myself...!!!

Anyone need a like new Beaglebone Black?

You're a better man than I, would take me that long just to change out that abomination of a rear handle.

you need more practice
theres a old guy that has straight gassed one 3 times since the end of november

It's like most little basturd jobs. After enough practice. Still takes me two or three hours to build one from the crank up.
Bet building a diff still goes faster for me with all fresh parts. It's been quite a while but you never forget. Third member diffs are even faster to build.

TH350c rwd car trans swap is only an hour job is you know how to burn bolts. Third member swap.... 40 minutes with or without a lift.

I do have a few that need work but not high on my list of project priorities, would rather practice on 026, 036, 046, 066...

Getting some saws ready for Jeff and Angelo to troubleshoot, a few may need some assembly...
