For all people who suddenly feel an urgent need to prepare yourself for blackout or other disaster, before you will dive into preppers forums... read this Practical Doomsday: A User's Guide to the End of the World by @lcamtuf amazon.com/Practical-Doom…

Now - let's make some noise 😀

OK, I think this project will be delayed. Again :) I don't know, but some projects have just bad karma.

And images are signed with Grok and logo...

Interesting... I have asked Grok to generate images. It did them (quite good). But then asked about terms of use, says it can not generate images, just text ;)

Basic Meshtastic how-to on Starter Kit: starter-kit.nettigo.eu/2024/meshtasti… and more detailed results and how to test range in Meshtastic starter-kit.nettigo.eu/2024/what-rang…

I finally tackled with #Meshtastic topic. I'm impressed. This is both easy to use (for non-programming folks) and have really good range, even point2point. First links in comments, I'm sure I will wrote more about Heltec devices and Meshtastic.

@eevblog Yes as long you have other boxes with meaningful labels. I don't know if "displays" count as meaningful :)

Is it helpful to actually label a box of random shit as "Random Shit"?

OK, just landed - short tutorial how to use #Heltec Wireless Stick Lite v3 with open source libraries (SX1262) to send data to #LoRaWAN (TTN). starter-kit.nettigo.eu/2024/heltec-wi… Parts 1 & 2 linked in post.

My 13yo was doing a science exam: Q) Name any element Not wanting to give just some boring common element like everyone else would, he chose: A) Oganesson, element 118 Result = FAIL. Teacher said no such element exists, even after he explained how it was a new nobel gas and described other properties of it. Next day he takes in a printout from the Royal Society of Chemistry proving it. He got his mark. rsc.org/periodic-table… Moral of the story, if you are right, never conceed defeat.

Are you having days like this where you wish they were over already?

Long time no info... I'm trying to pull myself together. Some creative work in progress 😀 I hope for new versions in this year!

@lukego @jonoxer @openpnp Sure :) I understand. I will wait for quote for transport, then I need to decide to take risk or not :)

I've heard stories of companies with pick-and-place machines sitting in storage because they outsourced assembly years ago and never got rid of their gear. I need a machine (possibly as an @openpnp retrofit project) so if you know of a barn-find PnP in AU, please let me know!
