OC Brewery Arcade meetups

Yeah I usually dial back 5 to 10ft/lbs and it feels good. Even then torquing lugs to 85ft/lbs DRY still made me go "Really? That much?" when they were all done.

The bluetooth reader hooks up to the OBDII port and is powered from it. If it doesn't pick up a signal right away it goes into "pair mode" automatically like most electronics with no screen. Once you hook it up to your phone/tablet you need an application that can interpret it. Torque is one of the most popular ones out there and has a free/prem version. From there using your phone you can get all kinds of dials with "relatively" real time information. I say relatively 'cause SOMETIMES the Bluetooth read out can be a bit wonky and give some odd reactions but that's just the nature of wireless comms being half-duplex.

Nothing beats real analog input for live inputs!

 

@uhplifted


Unless you're comfortable balancing it on a block temporarily you might want a higher lift than 18.25"

OMFG!!! I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WITH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THIS!!! RIGHT ON DENNY!!!

Depending on the application both Analog and Digital have their own rights for certain usage. It just amazes me how people trash analog? For example, I was working with a couple thousand dollar worth mobile radio units (P25) and good F'N LORD the audio was killing me!!! The digital side, I fully understood the uses, but the voice, they could have somehow kept it analog!!! I mean, come on man!!! But hey, "digital is the wave of the future..."!!! LOL, try throwing "tones" across a P25 system and you get REALLY F'D-UP signalling on the receiving end! WHOOOPS!!! Someone overlooked THAT end of things, LMAO!!! F'N MORONS BRO!!! If you really think about it, there really is NO WAY of either being better than the other?! Again, they both have their own rights of specific uses!!! In this case, digital would be easier to work with, but I agree that it is most likely due to half-duplex.

 

Exactly there is no better/worse just different use cases. Email+attachments is a fancy way of faxing. You can fax over IP but it's SHIT because analog converting to digital, back to analog is horrid.

I know more about wireless and networking than ANYONE could ever hope to know. Probably about like you know your radios or similar

 

LOL, I was using 2x 2x4's stacked on my floor jack when I was rotating my tires!!! I have plenty of experience with lifting cars and trucks with jacks and Quickjack car lifts, LOL!!! If you're flat surface, there is no issue AT ALL with stacked blocks. However, going over 2x stacked blocks... personally, I wouldn't, but it may still work?! At that point, you have to start worrying about rocking, slipping, and possibly folding over?! That's just me.

 

I'd say a 4x4 (durr 3.5"x3.5") should be enough length and strength for most load boosting... but I also think I topped out the travel on my jack and my tires were a hair off the ground able to spin. 18.25+3.5..... yeeahhh

 

LOL, going from AtoD, you technically, already "lost" information out of the analog signal and then from DtoA, it is now "guessing" what was lost!!! LMFAO!!! Just depends on the data bits you're using from the AtoD side of it... the finer, the better the reconstruction (DtoA) on the receive end.

 

LOL, I have 4x4 blocks, but repurposed them for special "jigs" I made for my 9in band saw, LOL!!! I guess I should get more 4x4 pieces of wood for the floor jack, LOL!!!

 

So when and where is the next meet up

 

Tomorrow ~8pm we doing the Bruery in Anaheim, address on the first page.

 

That would be Terreux I believe?

If it is, park across the street where everyone usually masses, LOL!!!

 

He means Bruery Terreux. Googling the Bruery will get you to the wrong location. The address we'll be meeting at tomorrow, Wednesday is 1174 North Grove St, Anaheim

 

I believe the other Bruery location is in fact Placentia? The Anaheim one is the Terreux spot

 

It is, technically. But the non-regulars would very likely get confused.

 

Ok Thanks all

 

Technically? Literally.

 

LOL, glad I'm a "regular" because I'd be going to North Korea to find this place, LMFAO!!! I didn't know about the "other locations" for Terreux??? LOL!!!

 

Technically speaking it is literally in Placentia.

 

Terreux is a sub-part of the Bruery. Terreux basically is the Bruery's experimental/sour/funky beer section while as the Bruery is the more standard types of beers.
