Great success after months of battling furnace issues where it would reset randomly or error out. And all the individual parts look fine I found solder breaks on this wire harness and since resoldering it has been working perfectly.

Decided to make a mostly vertical (5°) double sided solar box. I used an MPPT charger from DF hack and the Esp32 based meshtastic pack from seeed. Now it just needs a bottom, a mount and some water proofing and it will be ready for deployment. But first testing on my roof for a week.

I tried hooking up a usb solar panel to the esp Xiao with the grove breakout and a battery and it worked for a time and then promptly burned up my Xiao. It definitely needs a dedicated charging board in between. #Meshtastic

Had a great time at VCFMW a convention I did not actually know about until I heard about it over the meshtastic mesh!

The first meshtastic box for my car is complete. I am trying to decide if it is worth the work of mounting the antenna on the outside of the car or if I just accept the signal attenuation. I will probably have to do a range test to decide.

Fell down the meshtastic rabbit hole and now I may need to get HAM certified. Loving the seeedstudio products and I with their radios were not always on backorder.

After building these bookshelves nearly a year ago I promised I would make decorative column toppers for them. I finally got around to designing them in blender and getting them printed and painted. #3DPrinting

Here is another one I made for the #cyberpunk vibe. An air quality monitor built into a respirator. Since it reports particle counts and VOC you always know what filters to use with it. Electronics are all #M5 stack atom along with an I2C display. #electronics

I did this build a year or two ago because I was captivated by the cyberpunk aesthetic. Raspberry Pi laptop, I regret the narrow screen too many things have a fixed window size and it doesn't show nearly enough terminal for general use but it does look good. www.hackerspace-ffm.de/wiki/index.p...

After years of hacking together Arduino code from online I finally started in earnest to learn microcontroller programming and wrote my first blinky in assembly. I'm following a YouTube series by Brock LaMeres, he is a great speaker and easy to learn from.

Recently made a 3D printed ball vice to help my sister paint models. Can be found for free. Pretty good build all around. Having the model so I can make new things for the base is great. The creator Chris Borge really has some impressive stuff.
