I didn’t disconnect the battery. It might be reasonable to do so, just in case. If you choose not to disconnect, take care not to let the end of a wire bounce around while working with the other end

@@jetski275 I’m almost sad for you. Try getting a bottle cap from a beer bottle (not with a twist off cap) and drill a centered hole for the steam and an off center hole to bolt to the lid

@@paddlepower888 🤔 does the cap get rusty?

@@jetski275 I’m not sure since I haven’t used this solution. You might try Amazon which showed me this: a.co/d/6N8V3La

Hi Nick, I have the standard charger. I’d bet either charger would suffice. I’ve had no issues

You're kind with the compliment. As a shallow end mechanic and diy-er, I don't know how to assess the various pieces on the control board of my Lobster, with its 20 second delay. A capacitor sounds like a trick the engineers used, so if you could ID that item on the board and replace it with something of lower delay value, you'll get to the promised land early! Cheers!

@@paddlepower888 that was my thought too. I'm an engineer by school but not Electrical. If I end up messing with it I'll give you a message! I've found all these ball machines are about the same tech but the price depends on the size and branding.

@@paddlepower888 Follow up on this- I isolated the power wire to the board, and the wire that feeds power to the delivery motor, like you did. Your mileage may vary with a Lobster, but with my delivery motor, one of the two motor wires is connected to the power switch assembly (as expected), and the other connects to the board. The one that connects to the board is located next to some kind of small microcontroller, which likely has some code loaded to it to control the delivery motor starting. I think this rules out being able to get rid of the delay between powering on and the delivery motor beginning. Maybe someone else will come along that's smarter than me and correct me.

No change to my novice senses. Thanks for watching.

I usually don't have the ball machine further from me than about 40 feet/13 meters--I place it at the service line on the other side of the net for practicing volleys. For ground strokes, I have it on my side of the net. One thing I hadn't done is to push the antenna through a hole drilled in the outer shell of the ball machine. I'm tempted to do that as it sometimes doesn't respond at 40 feet.

@@paddlepower888 Thank you for your answer, I will keep it in mind, it was really helpfull. Al the best.

Update June 1, 2024. Due to deteriorating range down to as little as 15', even with a new battery. I tested the system with the control panel off, and the antenna exposed and stretched out. Reception improved to at least 60 feet - I attached the receiver to the shell and passed the antenna out a hole to the exterior. Methods for attachment include zip ties (easy), plate with bolts (more work, but one esthetic tick higher) double stick tape which will fail sooner, etc. I drilled holes for the task.

Wow. That's a Primus Yellowstone Light Trail stove. www.outdoorreview.com/product/product-archives/outdoor-equipment/backpacking-camping-hiking/stoves/primus/yellowstone-light-trail.html I used it a few times. It was extremely reliable. I upgraded to a Snow Peak Giga power because it weighed a few ounces less. I used the Snow Peak on my trip around the Wonderland Trail. I used no stove for the first 800 miles of my hike on the Pacific Crest Trail. For the rest of that trip I used an alcohol stove.

Not at all. Thanks for asking.

@@paddlepower888 excellent. I'm going to give this a go. Blessings to you and all your household x

Purchased from Ama_on. Product description: ECI Power 12V 10Ah Lithium LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Rechargeable Battery | 2000-5000 Life Cycles & 10-Year Lifetime | Built-in BMS Link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0973K15QR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is the same size as the 9Ah lead acid battery it replaced.

Thank you!@@paddlepower888

In 2022, I left the lead acid battery that came with the machine plugged in for three months when I went south for the winter and it couldn't run for more than five minutes. The lithium battery is still going strong 17 months on. This year I went south for four months and the lithium battery was very alive when I came back.

@@paddlepower888 Thanks! Actually now I’m planning to get the Nisplay machine, Any thoughts? Thank you

@@SeekMe-i5q i think that's a very good machine after looking at the website. I think you will enjoy it. I must suggest that you get the oscillator, because without it you might get a little bit lazy with your footwork.The Nisplay is a great value and at 26 lb, an easy haul into your vehicle.

Thank you @@paddlepower888

The primary reason was to have a more reliable battery. Weight reduction was a bonus.

@@paddlepower888 how long did your first battery last before it started having problems?

@@markelovett Way under 50 uses, most of which were under two hours max.

I have it on good authority that the Bon Musica went to a very appreciative beginner. :) :) :) And I'm anxiously awaiting some future video with all the tweaks to that violin sling. Thanks Jeff. Much Appreciated. (And love the Bon Musica.)

No idea what your kettle looks like. Maybe. You could get it to work, but you’ll need tools and a bottle cap to attach to the kettle lid, to copy the design of my kettle. I’m not sure what size holes you’ll need to have-you’ll have to start small and go from there. I hope your cups have plenty of hot drinks to warm you! Cheers

The inspiration for my kit was a video made by Cincinnatus Again whose adaptation was direct drive. In the comments below his video he notes that he upgraded to a more powerful motor-Direct drive requires more power. Mine wouldn’t drive the mill when I connected directly to the mill-more likely related to the weak 5 amp power supply I bought the first time. If the connection to the mill shaft isn’t perfect, the kit needs a flexible motor mount to operate properly-a bit easier to design if belt driven. Gearing down reduces the rotation speed and the power needed to turn the mill. Mine turns the mill pulley at 27 rpm. Decreased motor strain may lead to longer motor life.

Haha! I gave this to my daughter, who went camping in Russia-the poles broke! Lesson: if you need the power of trekking poles, don't use a stupid arrow shaft! I haven't ground camped since 2015-hammock camping only under a tarp between trees and I do use trekking poles!

@@paddlepower888 I now carry a lightweight hammock as a supplemental system, but it sucks for my back, same with a cot (different situation). Point being that different bodies (old injuries) have different needs. I also have many reasons to dislike the common style contemporary tents, but they work well for ideal conditions and unadventurous hikers - neither of those things describe me or my travels. To oversimplify, I rarely have two identical days in a row when I'm out in the forest/scrubland, etc., so versatility is essential. I'm pretty adaptable, but I need gear that is fairly adaptable too.

@@paulrevere2379 I've had the most comfortable nights ever hammock camping, and unlike ground camping, I don't toss and turn: go to sleep on my back and wake the same way with no memory of turning. For better or worse, it isn't for everyone. I've seen ground campers write about taking along a hammock for day use, but few make the leap to sleeping in one. I used to ignore hammocks (comfort issues) until I saw a back country campsite with no tents. I did a lot of research and a few shakedown trips-happily, all went well for my PCT hike.

@@paddlepower888 It kills my back and makes me stiff all over for hours the next day if I don't get to move around as I sleep, but the moving around does not detract from the quality of my sleep which is generally good as my mental health is vastly superior to the condition of my beat up aging Marine Corps body. Different folks, different needs; so very true.

@@paddlepower888 I'm a PCTs trail hiker too, mostly old school, but the conditions in the Washington portion of the Cascade range definitely favors hammocks. - Ground often wet or at least dewy - Random unpredictable rain, mist, fog - limited flat ground. Lots of slopes. - trees trees trees

What’s the remote hack?

Thanks, you're too generous. I owe much to the kick serve progressions laid out at Fundamental Tennis. Right handed kick serve on the back burner. It takes much more time than the twenty minutes of a RUclips lesson. I don't think that's just me either. :) I also learned to hit a slice serve both RH and LH, which generated serves that curved wildly and were harder to handle. Serving slices during doubles play, especially if the ball landed near the sideline or jammed the returner (RH into the deuce court and LH into the ad court) was a blast.

Haha! That's what it looks like to me! It's a beginner's effort, if you must know. Maybe it gets better as I learn more. I found that lobbed serves like these that get the ball 4.5 to 5.5' high don't intimidate tall players as they do short guys like me. I'm learning a slice serve to keep tall players guessing. FYI, my channel isn't called "Ultimate Pro Tennis" haha!

EXACTLY! BUT -- If you're just starting out to learn the Kick, Great! 👆 A lot of players Don't even try/have this at the 4.0-4.5 level. You keep this up, about another 30 - 40 carts, and you'll have it! You got the clearance down great, now just loosen your arm and brush up/lean into it, and Voila'. One more thing: Dude, the fact that you're out there, After a seeming rain, on your own, I'll putt Money on you getting this kick Down (Pun intended! 😄).

My apologies. the quilt has a long slit about half way down with velcro on either side. My bad.

Philip. Really...three comments about this?

You maen put in on and turn around? It works just fine.

A picture at the end. Also another YouT7ube creator does an interesting video about that.

for 220, brown=hot,line 1 blue=hot,line 2 green=ground,use 50 amp double breaker

@@robertkalman258 thank you, I really appreciate it.

Fuel canister, yes. New one didn't suffer same issues

Thanks! You are too kind! Amazingly 11 months have passed. I have dozens of hours of butterfly drills under my belt. In this clip, I might look good to some, but I do look like I'm trying to go into a low earth orbit with each breath. My stroke efficiency suffered from little deficiencies in technique, inducing me to breathe every stroke.
