    Today I took a look at how this toaster is built. It even came with some free pieces of bread, which was a nice bonus... although they probably shouldn't have been near the mains connection and the latch mechanism.

    Even though I have other plans for it, I first reinforced the spring mechanism and toasted a slice of bread.

    Sorry, I just had to :neocat_nom_bread:

    Here’s another small KNX project 🫠

    This time it’s quite manageable, using a 16-channel switching actuator for lighting, power outlets, and roof window drives in a museum. The new exhibition extension is to be controlled from the reception desk. For this purpose, a KNX touch panel with display is a great fit, as it allows everything to be easily operated by category.

    Hey everyone, check out my smart NTP time-synchronized LED Advent candles with Wi-Fi!

    I know, it’s a bit early, but that gives you more time if you want to build your own. 😉

    It’s time for new projects. Like this small version of the Space Clock as an LED matrix.
    It opens up even more possibilities.

    The project is finished!

    It’s now called Space Clock because it should also be possible to display other variants on it, such as a binary clock, even though the Tix version is definitely the most impressive.

    You can now find it at Haxko in Andernach, Germany, during opening hours.

    And there’s more to discover

    The Bambu Lab A1 Mini 3D printer really had to put in some work printing all those light limiters for me.

    But things are coming along. I just need to finish the top row and work on completing the frame with the white fabric cover.

    Once that’s done, you’ll be able to clearly see the squares when it’s turned on. I already tested it with a frosted plastic panel, and it looked really great. Of course, I didn’t take a photo of it, so it stays a surprise!

    After receiving the components, it's time to start the TIX Clock project. 🪄

    The WS2812B LEDs are controlled via the ESP32-S2 mini using MicroPython. The time is updated over Wi-Fi from an NTP server during boot.

    Now that the TIX Clock is running, all that's left is the right case. It's clear that it needs to be a bit larger.

    It's on the roof and connected.

    Of course, this won’t just be left like that. It will be properly mounted.

    Time to show the progress, since the project has been completed since last Friday.

    The 12 spots each have their own small power supply, which I had to fit into the cabinet.

    A new small KNX project.

    Glass canopy above the balcony with an awning, 12 spotlights, and switchable sockets. This box needs to go on the flat roof.

    Later, a KNX server will be added to the distribution cabinet in the basement. This time in a proper DIN rail enclosure.

  21. Let me give you some context:

    I was actually only working on the machine because a pump had stopped running. The error message was already showing on the control screen, but the CNC machine kept running. The worst that could have happened was the coolant collection tank overflowing.

    In any case, the transfer pump wasn’t running, and the motor protection switch kept tripping after a few seconds.

    I measured the windings on the motor, but everything was fine. Now I’d love to know what the pump was thinking, lol.
    Anyway, everything was electrically sound, and the motor protection switch did exactly what it was supposed to do to prevent damage.

    After cleaning the collection tank and the pump, everything should be working again.

    The cable tray and DIN rails are riveted in place, and I've started with the wiring 🫠

    From this point on, I had to plan and draw the control circuit. Of course, it will be properly done in the end. But for now, the sketch will have to do.

    Basically, it's like PLC programming with ladder logic, just with real wiring.

    I have a new project. I would classify it under #PLC, even though it is #hardwired.

    It's about an exhaust control system for two workbenches in an explosion-protected area.

    Basically, it's a series of safety chains to ensure that the machines only run when the exhaust fan is operating. Both workbenches will be monitored by an airflow sensor, which must be routed through a zener barrier.

    I will try to show some of this tomorrow.

    As previously mentioned, the distribution system was installed today.

    In the first picture, you can see how it looked before. Only a few preparations were made, such as removing the side covers and drilling holes for wall mounting.

    In the second picture, the distribution cabinet has been installed next to it. I took the photo around midday, and the wiring was essentially completed. The existing wiring was replaced with new wiring leading to the #KNX cabinet.

    Since most of the programming was already done, I just had to add the labels during testing.

    Tomorrow, the work continues with fine-tuning. I already set the runtime for the awnings today. Tomorrow, I’ll need to reconfigure the dimmers with an adjusted dimming curve for each lamp.

    Alright, time to share something new again. This time, a bistro is getting retrofitted with #KNX. Since the electrical installation is only a year old and all the wiring runs through terminal blocks to the distribution cabinet, it’s quite straightforward to implement. A slim distribution cabinet will be added, containing the actuators, binary inputs, and the visualization server.

    I already programmed the system last Thursday and configured the server as much as possible. Installation and switchover will take place on Monday and Tuesday.

    I've started installing the "electric heating" in the plant room. lol

    This is also needed to illuminate the building.

    (The concrete is also used for cooling. Later, a perforated grid is placed in front of it.)
