Beautiful place Mallorca. Sadly came down with a cold on the way over and spent most of my visit asleep in my hotel room. Nice hotel.

My favourite Deighton is “Horse underwater”. Here’s the narrator (same character as in “The Ipcress File”) describing the first lesson of a navy diving class. I was impressed with CPO Edwards’ classroom management style.

Want to be able to access data via webserver on RPi as a plot. Stop gap is to use the very good Numbers App but interface with webserver a bit clunky. Might look at JavaScript plotting.

Four of them talking to the Raspberry Pi.

Electronics and programming done. Still some coding to do on the Pi.

I’ve got a 12V motorbike battery but the step down transformer I’ve got has an output current limit of 2.1A. Raspberry Pi5 likes 5A. Will need a different transformer.

All I know about Ohio is from Neil Young and Bill Bryson.

Using Raspberry Pi5 as wireless hub in current project. Pi 5 are terrific little computers but they are fairly hungry. This 10000mAh battery lasted only a few hours. Need something bigger.

They have something that looks vaguely like it. A convention centre.
