  1. I wrote a (lengthy) article for my blog about the #GEM #S2 #Turbokit. I still have to proofread it, so it is still a little rough around the edges, but if you want to give a peek here it is: davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.p #music #homepage #blog #generalmusic #electronics #DIYelectronics #diy #diysynth

  2. A practical Arduino project that turns a simple tennis scoring problem into a portable, kid-friendly hardware build.

  3. Fine-Tuning on My Own Commit History: The Model Now Writes Bugs in My Style

    Because when you fine-tune on your own history, you are not training a model to be better than you.

  4. Has anyone here used infrared headphones?
    (like the kind used by some TVs/car stereos)

    Or have any schematics/plans/references?

    I'm trying to build or acquire a pair (transmitter and receiver), I think I can use a microcontroller for transmit but i don't think that will cut it for receiving the (supposedly) FM signal.

    (boost for reach)

  5. Building a $40 Stingray Detector That Fits in an Altoids Tin

    You don’t see IMSI catchers. You don’t hear them. They sit between your phone and the network like a polite lie, impersonating a tower just well enough that your device shrugs and connects anyway. No warning. No vibration. Nothing in the UI suggests that your phone has just been convinced to trust something it never verified.

  6. Just a short little #blog update today - with all the good news going on around here, and the usual springtime rush of fresh energy, I'm going to be resuming work on #PETI, the homebrew #VirtualPet I started work on back in 2019.

    There's just one itty bitty problem: the development branch is about six months stale and I have no sweet clue what the hell I was up to from back then.

    I will be disentangling that during lab hours on my twitch channel tomorrow.

  7. Finally found some time to bring my #NeoPixel Heart PCBs into a usable state and add some documentation. The #sourcecode is hosted on @Codeberg at codeberg.org/rommudoh/NoisyMcH and works for both variants (big and small).
    I think I'll publish the #KiCad files soon, too.
    Thanks to #platformio I can use the same code for both hardware variants.

  8. Normally where are sprinkler water valves located? I'm wanting to build a watering system for my outdoor potted plants that has a few outputs for different groups of plants or planter/pot sizes, but keeps looking like pricey garden valves are the norm, and I just want to anti-ADHD-ify my plants.

    Probably going to use ESPHome's sprinkler component since you can set when multiple valves are needed to hit a target zone.

  9. I am starting a series of solar deck/cyberdeck Shedtronic Workshop projects. This is an early devlog. Follow along on substack if you are interested. These are all going to be about portable resilient solar tech projects and finding ways to run tech off-grid.
