One downside of my visit to China was the new restriction on power banks on domestic flights. As 3 of my power banks were not 3C certified, they got confiscated by airport security. 😬
I treated myself to this bad boy on #cybermonday

I'm one of the first to get my hands on #ArduinoNessoN1, a handsome little device which is a result of cooperation between #M5Stack and @officialarduino.bsky.social - here is your TechDrop - fresh from Shenzhen!

While visiting #M5Stack HQ in Shenzhen, I got to talk to Julian (@jcarolinares on X) from @officialarduino.bsky.social team about their latest device #NessoN1 made with collaboration with M5Stack. We touched on #Qualcomm acquisition and the future of the open source approach.

I took a selfie in #Shenzhen, turned around and found a @bambulabglobal.bsky.social store. The latest #H2C #3Dprinter was not the only treat waiting inside! Take a look!

I had the pleasure of seeing inside @seeedstudio.com HQ. I did my best not to disturb anyone working hard on new products! They have been kind enough to invite me over to #MakerFaireShenzhen

NodeRED - multiple payloads - NotEnoughTech

Mat

@notenoughtech.bsky.social

Here is a little something I cooked up in ##Fusion360. I bought a TV recently which is now hanged on a wall. I figured, I could re-create TV leg interface and #3dPrint the stand-offs that hold my soundbar in place. The result in comments.

Someone at work asked me to explain #NodeRED and how messages are being sent between nodes. Little did they know I already have a great article on the subject!

A few weeks ago, I built an energy monitor for my smart home. It helped me understand how I consume power and reduce my electricity costs.

I got this lovely SeeedStudio XIAO 7.5" ePaper display, and I wanted to visualise my energy consumption in a less limiting way. Thanks to Home Assistant, ESPHome and some cool tricks, I made it happen

The release of #ArduinoUnoQ and the acquisition of @officialarduino.bsky.social

Two big news from Arduino! An unexpected product launch and an acquisition that no one saw coming!

A keyboard for life! GravaStar Mercury K1 - NotEnoughTech

October 8, 2025 at 10:55 AM

Mat

@notenoughtech.bsky.social

#MercuryK1 is an excellent keyboard, but can we all please go and bother #GravaStar for some UK layout keycaps so I don't look for punctuation marks for 30 minutes, before giving up and using Win+Space?

After the release of GravaStar Mercury M2 mouse, it was time to see the keyboard from GravaStar. And oh boy I'm happy to own one!

Instead of chasing record speeds, I built my #3DPrinter to be absolutely silent. You CAN have an uninterrupted family life or focus on your next design in blissful silence.

"WARNING: the video examples aren't muted! My 3D printer is THIS quiet!"

Is it possible to turn Creality Ender series 3D printer into a completely silent 3D printing experience? How quiet can I get? Let's find out!

@notenoughtech.bsky.social

There is something magical about using your face imprint to unlock the door. I have been using it for 3 months, and I no longer take the keys with me. Works great and with redundancy built in, I don't worry about lockouts! Thanks #SwitchBot
