How do I figure out the mass of an RCS quad with a certain fuel type and tech level? Hmm, nm, it's probably too difficult.

Does the reason a hard drive spindle motor won't stay running while connected to the main board have to do with throwing a mess of errors in the firmware because nothing else is connected?
<Eddi|zuHause>
i have a feeling you dug too deep for that question to make sense to anyone besides yourself
<Eddi|zuHause>
however, my first guess would be the motor stops spinning because of a powersave feature
<Eddi|zuHause>
and thus would be totally uncorrelated with any error messages
<Eddi|zuHause>
well, uncorrelated might be the wrong word
<Draconiator>
hm, let me reprase. My spindle motor won't stay running because of firmware error messages....and hmmm. that would make sense.
<Draconiator>
*rephrase
<Eddi|zuHause>
how are you reading the firmware errors if nothing is connected?
<Draconiator>
Just a hunch, because when the hard drive was together (and running, it failed on me) the motor never stopped that fast.
<lordcirth>
Draconiator, a head crash might make it stop a lot faster...
<Eddi|zuHause>
well, my first attempt would be trying to get SMART data

hmmm, Windows did NOT like me plugging the bare hard drive board in to check SMART data - bluescreened me with a DPC Watchdog Violation. Looked it up and apparently Windows thought I'd connected a SSD with no actual storage and it freaked out heh

Hngh. Gotta love how I join the /r/KerbalSpaceProgram's discord and instead of helping me install MechJeb, they're asking why I want to install it when d/v is part of the game now. e.e
<Rabblerouser>
You guys were always the cool ones. :P
<VanD>
the logs will show a fair share of elitisim here too :P
<Rabblerouser>
Well I haven't been here in years. I think the last I was here was... before Steam release?
<Rabblerouser>
Or somewhere around there. I don't know how it's changed.
<VanD>
just got quieter, really

But just a little bit quieter ;P
<Mat2ch>
We're just too excited about the Crew Dragon launch!
<Deddly>
Is it still a 7-seater?
<Mat2ch>
One dummy and some cargo
<Mat2ch>
For the later versions, yes, still 7 seats
<Mat2ch>
Uhh
<Mat2ch>
didn't know that: SpX-DM2: Crewed test flight of the Dragon 2 capsule, with two astronauts for two weeks

hi, if anyone familiar with mechjeb, is it possible to control trust level with it and turn engines off at all?
<Yukkuri>
thrust*
<Yukkuri>
i am looking at scripting actions and see only activation of engine

Fluburtur, heading west parallel to the arctic region now, then it's just head back down south to the KSC!
<Deddly>
Well, you know... south and around a continent first
<lordcirth>
Yukkuri, for scripting, you might want kOS instead
<Yukkuri>
lordcirth: what mechjeb is good for then?
<Yukkuri>
god, kos even having telnet server for easy access
<Yukkuri>
as well as conventional turing-complete language
<Yukkuri>
looks awesome
<lordcirth>
Yukkuri, mechjeb is mostly so you can click buttons and it does things. If you're going to script it, kOS is better.
<packbart>
i like kRPC better but it's an external processed and there might be some critical lag for an autopilot
<packbart>
i never got the hang of the Mechjeb scripting thing. writing a bit of Python to refill probe tanks and automate some mining jobs such was much easier
<lordcirth>
Depends; kOS isn't the most efficient language either, and it runs in the same thread as the game'

What's great, though, is that I now only need 1/12 throttle to maintain the same speed I was getting before, so it's twice as efficient now.
<Deddly>
Just over 1/6 fuel remaining, and WE'RE HEADING SOUTH onto the home stretch!
<Fluburtur>
so no refuel for the whole trip
<Deddly>
Nope
<Fluburtur>
that is some kind of record
<Deddly>
Not so far, and it looks like I might make it
<Deddly>
I'm not celebrating until I get there, but yeah, I don't think anyone ever did this before
