Seemed happy enough to mount it back up! I'm not even going to bother putting the cover on probably, as well get better cooling, and this is hidden in a closet anyway.

Made a very simple python-based simulator for working on LCDs using u8g2 (embedded graphics lib). Not well tested & half vibe coded, but so far has been useful and saved a lot of time when it comes to playing around with fonts, spacing, etc. github.com/colinoflynn/... #embeddedguis #u8g2

Currently *not* at BH/DC... While I miss catching up, happily doing things like taking videos of my dog unsuccessfully trying to dry themselves instead of walking around in 42C weather.

It uses a brass electrode that has a very very simple control system to dump current into it (I did a teardown video is the unit a while ago).
