Still building, but this Milo Mini Mill is a thing of beauty! #maker #cnc #mill #project #build

I'm spending a bit of time in Soho NYC and messing with I2C sensor boards, some of which are made by Adafruit a few hundred yards from here. Just posted on my blog robdobson.com/2024/05/auto-c… about auto code-generation for decoding I2C poll responses. A bit of a techy one again :)

Note: This is only interesting for embedded developers ... I've just posted something I'm excited about which is I2C device auto-identification! if you are a geek who likes this stuff robdobson.com #adafruit #sparkfun #I2C #qwiic @txinstruments @hackaday @Hacksterio

Back in 2012 my wife and I started a house renovation project in Edinburgh (Scotland) having moved to that great city the previous year. #homeautomation #IoT #lighting #LightScader #Shelly #WiFi #ZWave robdobson.com/2020/11/the-10…

@brenthoberman Part of the consequence of taxation is to modify behaviour. I would argue that there is a benefit to society from people working from home - lower transportation & hence lower impact on the planet - so maybe actually there should be a tax break from working from home?

Staff who work from home after pandemic 'should pay more tax' Really interesting idea WFH contributes less to economy-not commuting...& if they are knowledge workers who choose to work from home should contribute to those who have no choice (manual etc) theguardian.com/business/2020/…
