Oh, you don't know the half of how true that is...

 

[Pincher]

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...

That was a lot of work to take a picture, now you have to carry them back in!

Was a good excuse for an overdue reorganization, check for mouse intrusion etc.
Did find the start of a nest in a box o' ts760, was glad to nip that one in the bud.
Time for some counter measures...

My new project for @Mattyo to help me reassemble lol. JK I can reassemble it myself.

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...

What kinda Frenching stuff is that ?
how does it cut firewood ?
Speak ENGLISH dammit.

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...

now THAT's a contest worth trying....I remember somewhere at a GTG that was done....

Ummmm. No.
We both know Bill has over 400 Hooskies in need of fixin, and just a few Stihls.
2nd, you DO NOT want me workin on any of your saws. My saws don't break, so I have no sperience fixin them. Don't need to. I just runn'em!

Didn’t your 660 break the pull cord spring recently at Eric’s gtg? It sure wasn’t producing any BTU’s that day.

 

[RI Chevy]

Pull cords don't count.
It was the spring. It sprung. All good now.

I’d leave them outside for the garbage man to get[emoji23][emoji23]

 

[RI Chevy]

He won't take them because they are hacked up...

I had to haul the last box of stihl junk to the landfill myself. The garbage man puked when he picked the box up. Something about German kraut stinking up the neighborhood [emoji23]

 

[RI Chevy]

NOPE! Not believing it...
Only Hooskies show up in boxes for fixin.

There’s the last I had of stihl stuff. The rest I hauled to the landfill. Only a husky muffler survived. After the last run I had on junk cases I quit trying to fix Stihl’s. 9 sets and there was one usable set and 2 good cranks.
