Gods I'm getting so fucking sick of flagging up stock issues on the new build Vs repair stocks and being accused of using not labelling stuff when we handed it all over to stores.
1) we didn't "hand" anything over, they just took it.
2) we didn't keep new build stock.... Everything was for module repair.

My mental health is infinitely better. Though going from zero, that doesn't say much >.<
But there's so much mis-management here that it's starting to get to me -_-
People who are factory based asking "how long do repairs take?" "Can you make a BOM for a repair?"
And don't seem to understand that no, we can't tell you exactly what parts you'll need per module for a repair..... Or how long it'll take.
So they just ask the same questions again.
Worse still. We are doing a last time buy new build. The stuff is hand made in site and takes 6 months, plus our build time.
First deliveries are due end of Q2
The casting facility have only /just/ got their materials.
Only thing we get from them?
"The customer will be fine with the delay"
No. The customer is military. They will have their stuff, or harsh penalty clauses will be added!
But no. Thick fucks still have no clue -_-

Back from (finally) posting off some things.
Went to post office near old house (because despite there being closer ones, "aaaaaa, change"!)
Then the old virgin kit needed a yodel drop off point.
The only ones near us are either "convenience" stores (read. No parking) or there's a co-op a village over.... Which is a fuck on to get to.
So.... For the first time in a long while. I've actually felt like driving. So went to the co-op in Rutland about 20 minutes away. (Because I've been there before.... And "aaaaaa, change"!)
Was a nice bimble around scenic Rutland .

Currently it's as if the radios have de-powered.
Have 3 mesh nodes. One in pantry, just over from kitchen where the root is. One by living room at back. and another in the workshop.
Have had NO issues for ages. Now I've lost the workshop and living room.
Did think it's because I blocked line of sight with a steel door..... But that's opposite direction to the workshop.
And the workshop is connecting via the pantry..... which is further away than the kitchen.
Problem is. when they start hopping through another node, I get random disconnects >.<
I think tomorrow is going to be spent connecting up some of the cables I have in.
Will need to dig out some switches >.<

Sad thoughts about Mike while I was in the shower letting my mind wander.
Shouldn't do that. goes dark places.
Realisation that if I'd not jumped ship when I did...... I would probably be heading towards the same ending Mike did.
Gods I wish he'd been more open about his mental health issues. All we were told was that he was off due to a serious skin complaint.
Though. I've been very open about my issues with colleagues and boss... and still ended up here >.<
Gods I miss him -_- I can bounce off my current co-worker. but not in the same way I could with Mike as our interests, and knowledge (electrical and memes) overlapped so much. Though there was that one day I lost him to Weebl's stuff as, while he know of Magical Trevor, he didn't know of Badgers (he had odd gaps in his internet history.)
If you are struggling. Please tell someone!

was out with dad when they did the blade tracking on the S76.
High speed camera on the nose and put the aircraft through it's paces.
Dad got to do it due to his multi tens of thousands of flight hours and the fact he was an army air corps instructor and display pilot.
Last run of the day he asks if I want to have a go.
So I hop in the copilot chair, strap in and we taxi out to the end of the runway.
Power on, settle into hover at about 100ft. Get permission from tower and he noses down.
Now. Choppers generally put in a bit of nose. Gets the airframe moving. Then the tub becomes an airfoil and it settles....
I'm looking straight ahead through the windscreen and seeing grass.
I look up and see grass.
No skylights on a 76. But probably would've seen grass through that.
Hear the blades strain, the engines pick up and we go fucking off down the strip at a rate of knots >.>

Found my unipolar breakout board. Figured out how to wire it.
Spent TOO long fucking around with Arduino on Linux trying to get a nano to drive it.

Put on the one from the AC.... Exactly the same.
It /tries/ to move with assistance..... But otherwise nothing.

*twitch*
Aircon open again to look at the fault on the water outlet
The drain "Solenoid" isn't opening.
I have it in quotes because i noticed the cable has 5 wires in. Must have position feedback then. Or is proportional control......
No. It's an "off the shelf" geared stepper motor that's turning a plastic wheel 90 degrees, which, via a cable is pulling the sprung plunger. I doubt it's doing any finesse work. it's just, open, or close.....
Anyway. the stepper is vibrating when you run it. but not turning. has holding force as well when you try and manually turn the shaft.
So. 2 options.
Phase dead in motor - OK. can replace (if i can get one) and fix it!
Phase dead on control board..... FUCK!
It's rebranded chinese import stuff.... There's no details on what they are or if I can get new boards >.<
On plus side... I think I can just run it as is for now. i think the plunger is just used while it's switched off to stop things blowing in. It's not complaining that the motor is disconnected o.o

We hoiked the dishwasher and washing machine upstairs. So have plumbed them in and they all work. Which is a bonus.
Washing machine sits proud of the cabinets though. Despite me leaving both the service gap AND extra to the wall >.<
Doesn't foul the cupboard next to it too much so that's less of a problem.
