Here's my Seeed Xiao ESP32S3+Wio-SX1262 #Meshtastic play kit wirewrapped on perf board with GPS, OLED display and button. The board on the right is a Pi Zero 2W running Linux (not wired up yet). There's a PCB mount SMA conn. on its way. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/0c9e326b79ab7a99143aedfad7816891f7af4703cc3b5fa33f6632d70428d9af/f59008c1fe9c96b32c9cc842b99cc6355e6d65f2bdb0e723cd67180cee790d3c.webp

Hey #ZXSpectrum peeps, does anyone have a V2.0 PCB Multiface One with later '90' ROM? I have one with the earlier 'FE' ROM & it's missing some features. I've been trying to track this down for ages and it's not in the archives I've checked. Thanks!

Here's a photo of an old project still in use In the tiny box is an ESP-01 running Tasmota, a 3V switching regulator for it and a 3V 3A buck converter for an LED strip. It's linked to the house IoT server and the strip comes on at night using a Zigbee occupancy sensor if you walk into the kitchen.

It confirms what kind of day you're having when you have to turn over a USB-C plug a couple of times before you get it in.

New self-rule:

No starting a new project before I finish one already half done.

My XIAO ESP32S3 Wio-SX1262 #Meshtastic setup is leaving the breadboard. The platform will have an OLED display, GPS module, Pi Zero 2W, USB serial TTL adapter, battery & some buttons. It'll be used for my bash-based tools buffoonery. Just planning the layout. I feel some wirewrapping is afoot.

Have you heard about the trendy new Mexican dish designed to make a tasty meal while getting rid of garden pests?

Wahaca mole.

Such fun today. Worked from my Mrs' office. Lunch break was adding ZigBee temp sensors, a front door sensor & a motion detector to Node-RED via zigbee2mqtt. The system controls room heating via wifi smart plugs. Next is API integration with the room hire calendar to only pre/heat booked rooms.

Ordered 3x INA219 power monitoring boards from a Well known 'Express' bazaar.

#1 Wrong board.

#2 Wrong board.

#3 WTF.

Well done Samiore Choice Store. They chose poorly. Maybe I did too with this supplier!

I have this mad idea to write an auto msg handler / responder (local wx, reminders etc.) for #Meshtastic...in bash, so no faffing with Python and virt. envs.

Anyone seen similar (Bash & not a full BBS)?

Just studying existing (non-bash) code 'cos API and protobuf docs are...erm...a bit y'know...

Major power cut this AM. Happened to have a 600VA UPS destined for the Mrs' office rigged for testing. Plugged router into it and had Internet and WiFi for almost 2hr before battery died. Power back 30 mins after that. Such fun
