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.

Curious how to set up OTA firmware updates for ESP32 using Rust and Harbor as an OCI registry? Built with MQTT over TLS, minimal backend, and #RustLang. Full post on secure IoT + #OTA + #ESP32 + #oras + #Harbor + #Kubernetes

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.

I am hoping to use this account to highlight the projects that I do and attract like minded people.
