  1. @iron_bug - If you have some land or other stuff you want to monitor, these LoRa devices make great sensor nodes.

    They have the open pins for you to solder in your own sensors, with support for a variety of weather and other devices.

  4. Confession: I am a #Govee guy. Not so much the LED light strips (that's my son's domain).

    Me, I am a temperature sensor guy. I have them in my fridge and freezer to mitigate food spoilage, one in a watertight container in my pool skimmer, one in a far dark corner of my basement to turn the dehumidifier on and off. One in garage to make sure it isn't too cold in the winter, one in my bathroom to turn a small space heater on and off in the winter. One in my gazebo so I know the outdoor temperature. I have two in my mum's 1960s apartment to make sure she's staying cool in the evermore frequent heat waves (set those up a few weeks ago after she called to say she wasn't feeling so good and I rushed over to take her to emergency where she was treated for heat stroke and severe dehydration. Govee will make sure that I have advance warnings now - plus we bought an AC for her apartment).

    Yesterday I added one more sensor, their PM2.5 air quality sensor. It gets good reviews for accuracy (it uses the Cubic PM2008MS as its PM sensor) and is significantly cheaper than competitive products, at under $50 Canadian. This sensor is helpful because of the ever increasing number of wildfires and resultant smoke. While Environment Canada issues smoke warnings, smoke and associated air quality can be extremely local (think blobs of smoke that fall from upon high and roll through your neighbourhood). Having this sensor will warn me when AIQ is poor (it samples every 2 seconds and can trigger threshold alerts via the Govee app), and sadly, during smoke events, will also let me know when locally the AIQ is acceptable, giving confidence about when it is prudent to go indoors, and when it is okay to enjoy being outside.

    Next up, I guess I'll need another one for indoors. Then the smart switches can turn on the Corsi Rosenthal air filters.

    Welcome to the second quarter of the 21st century.

  5. Long-term project complete!

    I have cleaned an #AncientCity of all the #sculk, #sensors, #shriekers and #wardens then restored all the buildings and lit it all up so mobs don’t spawn. I now have a playground and base in the deep dark of #Minecraft.

    It may look nice now … I should have saved a before shot that showed how badly ruined the city was before the restoration began.

    Very happy with final result

  6. Оживляем UI на мобилках с Sensor API

    Речь пойдёт о реализации реакции веб-интерфейса на наклон устройства, смещение бликов, теней, для придания ему таким образом интерактивности и объёма. Device Orientation API существует уже давно . Мобильные устройства с гироскопом стали пожалуй основным окном для приложений и сайтов. Всевозможные эффекты "блеска" / градиентов в дизайне встречаются регулярно, тренд на эмоциональный дизайн и кажется пора это всё объединить! И ведь Apple выкатили эту фишку в liquid glass ! Но... лично по моему мнению, как-то не "дожали" или она померкла на фоне других нововведений... а жаль, я считаю реакцию ui на положение устройства гораздо более перспективной темой чем новая прозрачность с крутой физикой преломлений которую тут же все побежали повторять . В отличии от преломления фона, адекватная реакция на наклон устройства это не графон ради графона, а микро‑взаимодействие дающее ощущение контроля, отзывчивости, даже "живости" интерфейса. Ведь даже если пользователь не тапает по экрану - он очень даже взаимодействует с интерфейсом(смотрит/читает) и слегка "покачивает" телефон в руке, и UI на эти микродвижения уже чуть-чуть отвечает, маленькая физика (свет/тень/глубина), как будто элементы не нарисованы, а существуют как объекты... Ну это моё субъективное восприятие... тут есть похожие мысли про роль микровзаимодействий и баланс эмоций. Знаю что некоторых людей "лишние" анимации наоборот нервируют, или даже "укачивают", чтож... прекрасно что для них есть опция reduce-motion, для меня такой замечательной обратной опции "сделать красиво" нет ))) Если всё ещё не понятно о чём я, можете глянуть это видео : Блеск!

  7. Проект по Air Quality sensor, идея, концепция, дизайн и почти: реализация

    История начинается просто, начитавшись статей о том, как важно контролировать уровень СО2 в помещении и как несоблюдение установленных норм может сказаться на здоровье, решил озадачиться этой проблемой и помониторить рынок на предмет соответствующих решений. И, к сожалению, ни один из вариантов меня не устроил, где-то откровенный обман (используют дешёвые и неточные датчики), где-то ограниченный функционал, дизайн некошерный и прочие субъективные и объективные, в ряде случаев, проблемы.

  9. Just ordered some parts to prototype an experimental tactile interface for "feeling" visual textures.

    I ordered a piezoelectric actuator, some through hole op-amps to drive it, a breadboard, some prototyping wire, some 1/8" prototyping jacks, an assortment of through hole resistors, and a big box of small plastic drawers to organize my parts.

    I'm gonna drive the piezoelectric actuator by driving the op-amp with the audio out from my sound card on my PC. I'm planning to prototype a tiny MCU and tiny camera separately.

    I'm so excited for this project.

  10. #today I am catching up on emails (well over a week's backlog I think) and I will be reading a couple of the papers buried in that pile. Also mentally steeling myself to install a whole extra raft of room #sensors to help a start-up...

    Also my new #gridResponsive #pasteurisation DHW tank cycle ran for the first time, a bit earlier than I expected because the grid was greener than forecast. Hurrah!

  11. Efficiency gains from engines will still be vital for the industry.

    The most marked change in the appearance of #engines could be the return of the open #propeller.

    The design dispenses with the #nacelle
    – the cover
    – to allow for a bigger fan that offers more propulsive force.

    Superficially, it will look like existing turboprop engines,
    but with the ability to fly at Mach 0.8, or 80% of the speed of sound
    – the same as current jet engines.

    #CFM, a joint-venture between America’s General Electric and France’s Safran, has said that its open fan #Rise engine could theoretically reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions by 20%.

    The company says it can reduce noise, which put paid to a previous prototype in 1986.

    It will still have to persuade regulators and passengers that the engines will be safe if a blade breaks in midair.

    As well as radical changes to airframes or engines, manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to salami-slice #fuel burn via small gains.

    #Winglets, the curved tips of wings, were first introduced in the 1970s in response to the then oil crisis,
    mimicking birds’ wings to reduce drag.

    The split winglets on the 737 family since 2014 can reduce fuel burn by as much as 2% during a long journey, according to the Seattle-based manufacturer Aviation Partners.

    (For plane-spotters, they double as the easiest way to distinguish a 737 from an A320.)

    Birds have had millennia to evolve the ideal features for efficient flight,
    so aviation designers have constantly used them for inspiration.

    Airbus is experimenting with #gust #sensors on the front of the aircraft to register during turbulence,
    with automatic responses from control surfaces of the wing,
    similar to a bird’s constant adjustments to movements in the air.

    #Concorde, which flew on only a limited number of routes, was the last passenger plane in service with a truly distinctive design.

    The supersonic jet, which had swept-back, delta wings, was retired in 2003.

    #Boom #Supersonic, a startup, is testing the technologies for a proposed “son of Concorde” with a similar look.

    That plane would only ever be a niche service, flying 80 passengers at a time on premium routes.

    But there is a possibility that Boeing and Airbus take radically different approaches to the workhorses that carry billions of passengers each year.

    If the manufacturers go in different directions, then passengers might start paying serious attention to plane design, says Addison Schonland, an analyst who tracks the industry at AirInsight.

    “I don’t think we’ve ever had a situation before, to look at an aeroplane and say, ‘that’s completely different’,” he says.

    “How will people react to seeing those novel shapes?”
