I've been running openwrt on one for a year or two and it's been totally rock solid. LuCI is a huge upgrade over the Edgeos UI, hardware acceleration is supported and zero faff wireguard (plus all the other owrt goodness).

Might want to try something like buildroot or yocto, so you can have a r/o root fs with your code in. Or the ESP32 or larger STM32 microcontrollers.

I've used my 3D printer as a plotter, you can get pretty good results by first printing a pen adapter and then using this Inkscape plugin: https://github.com/soukupak/inkscape-unicorn-for-marlin

Does anyone know of tooling like this but not for only making websites? I have an asciidoc based chain that mostly works for generating both PDF manuals and standalone html docs but it's a bit of a faff to install and set up especially

Excellent points and London Reconnections is great! I suppose the crux of my ramble was in the fact I had to invent the term "active" driver (there may be a more appropriate way to describe how low level in the feedback loop of ve

I had a chat with a DLR "passenger service agent" a few weeks ago (DLR, or Docklands Light Railway being a "fully automated" light rail system in London). He had opened the driving console at the front and was sitting th

I like it for projects which may need to live a really long time between changes. Having a single .fossil file containing the entire project, it's history, documentation, and tickets in a set location makes it simple to pick something

Sorry yes, should have clarified!

It uses the same python sketch constrainting module derived from a SolveSpace internals fork that FreeCAD also uses [1]. I'll give the parent project a go anyway, it's a cool idea. 1: https://github.com/realthunder

It is, I also have a big soft spot for SolveSpace[1] - the feature to speed/binary size ratio is fantastic. 1: https://solvespace.com

Redis doesn't guarantee that expiry happens exactly at expiry time ([1] gives up to a 1 millisecond delay), so if your system assumes that all related keys are removed at exactly the same time it is still broken (although the race wind

Ah yes, I think I was agreeing with you than not everywhere is dependent on cars even today, and many of my London based friends neither own cars or have licenses. I'm sure in her time if you lived outside the city a car would be highe

She lived in central(ish) London, where today still a car isn't a necessity or particularly useful other than for travelling to the greater UK or specific jobs.

I have a Siglent SDS1104X-E scope, it's a step up from the typical Rigol DS1* in my opinion in both use and features. I've also had the Rigol DS2x and Keysight DS3x series at work, and various Picoscope PC scopes. Stuff I find bet

What frustrates me about arduino is how limited the peripherals are. I can see why they chose to begin with that obsolete processor - the arduino model of programming is simple & approachable precisely because the processor is so dumb (

No problem, I was very happy when I figured it out. Only issue is you don't get to test it until next year :)

I do currently hardcode my time zone (although it could be done as a setting) so I suppose it's not 100% automatic...maybe with a geoip lookup! NTP gets you the date, so you just need a library or algo that maps your time zone into r

They look like beautiful hardware. Have you considered using an ESP or NRF etc as the control processor to (optionally) enable WiFi and therefore NTP automatic clock setting and daylight savings? It seems like something none of the commerci

Depends on the tube and if you account for cathode poisoning. My clock is still going strong after 3 years, coming on automatically at sunset and goes off at midnight.

Awesome job! I built something similar based on a Lasermad £85 clock kit (1), although with an MQTT based API rather than HTTP. The built in firmware was a bit annoying so I ended up borging an ESP32 in place of the PIC onto the supplied PC

This is really neat. If you were interested in doing it in future with dot matrix panels for that real hollywood trader look, take a look at HUB75 addressable panels. Not crazy expensive on Aliexpress and friends. https://githu

WLED is also fantastic if you are using WS/APA/STK style addressable LEDs. You just need a dirt cheap ESP32/8266 and you get a wifi connected lamp with a lovely web ui, cool animations, android app, timers, home automation in
