  1. LightInk – An ESP32-based, solar-powered E-ink smartwatch with up to 10 months of battery life

    Daniel Ansorregui has developed LightInk, an open-source solar-powered E-ink watch inspired by 90s solar digital watches. It features…

  2. Timers seem simple until they cause mysterious power drain or timing issues. The JL JieLi AC696N SDK provides two timer systems with different characteristics. Here's what I've learned debugging on the dev board.

    Practical Tip
    Test both on the AC696N development board. Add serial prints to see which thread the callback runs in.

    Both timer systems support one-shot timeouts—choose whichever fits your context needs.

  8. How-To Geek: This tiny radio lets me send texts without Wi-Fi or cell service . “Reading about community resilience recently, I came across talk of something called Meshtastic and how it lets you stay in touch with people miles away even if your internet access and the power grid itself were shut off.”

  11. Как мы пихнули полноценный цифровой протокол в NTC-пин батареи — и почему это вообще работает

    Есть старая инженерная мудрость: Если у вас не хватает проводов — значит, вы недостаточно творчески подходите к вопросу. У нас была ровно такая ситуация. Работая на одном проекте системы «умного города» мы, уйдя в стандарт «одна плата с разными конфигами для всего» решили делать на ней свой BMS. Зачем да почему? Нужно было универсальное решение, которое должно работать и с литиевыми, и со свинцовыми батареями, и с ещё парой экзотических химий, встречающихся в природе примерно так же часто, как радужные единороги. Нужно было надёжно определять тип батареи, считывать её состояние, пригодность к использованию, дату производства и всё‑всё‑всё подобное, блокировать несовместимые варианты и вообще предотвращать самое главное — человеческую ошибку. Но как это часто бывает в компаниях где в R&D священный хаос — никто и не задумывался чтобы сесть и обсудить «А как мы вообще это делать будем». В производство ушла тысяча плат. В любой другой ситуации мы бы пошли по наименьшему пути сопротивления: i2c на коннекторе рядом и EEPROM на аккуме. Но не тут было.

  12. I continue work on my charging-free smartwatch. The next component to tackle is haptic feedback. Two main options: ERM or LRA. LRA uses less power but needs an extra driver, so I decided to go with ERM. #Haptics #LowPower #Smartwatch #ERM

  13. Next I run #syncthing on my laptop, and on my #homelab #intelN100 #n100 mini pc / server that runs in the cupboard and is very #lowpower I run #proxmox and this also has a #samba share which allows any other network devices to see the media.

    With syncthing running, I always have two copies of the media, but for backup I was using #rclone to send an encrypted copy to #googledrive - which I am in the process of switching over to #nextcloud running on #hetzner

  14. Also this year, #copenhell was well covered with #thethingsnetwork #lorawan ... two strong gateways at Den Kongelige Afstøbningssamling and at IT-Universitetet i København as the backbone.
    ... not that i actively needed it a lot while there ;) ... but it shows me what stages were my favorites
