Maybe there's a chance this whole situation will be good for #indieweb, though people do still seem fine with centralisation 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, I'm on fediverse @brian@usedbytes.com

@paulreadotnet You could cut the traces and feed in digital audio. Probably simpler to just use it as a Bluetooth speaker with no modifications

@usedbytes Digging up an old topic here. Seems like audio is fed into the nest amplifier digitally. From your experience, do you think there's a way to inject external digital audio into the amplifier? Or more simply, did you see any way to inject analog audio into the amp directly?

Hope I didn't kill it 🤞😓

Quick little weekend baby tracking project. Sending notifications made super easy by pushover.net

Would recommend @curiouselectric Bat Listener Kit! Great gift for a novice solderer with a little help. Really works well, and very satisfying to identify bat noises amongst bugs etc. curiouselectric.co.uk/products/bat-l…

Instant color switching by rotating the nozzle. All 3 colors are extruded at the same ratio. :^)

@greenekingcares It’s from the Robin Hood, Cambridge last Thursday. There’s a chalkboard telling patrons to access the garden through the building, so not likely to be accidental

@usedbytes Hi Brian, we'd very much like to get this investigated as soon as possible. Could you please let us know the name and location of the pub that this photo was taken at? Thank you greatly.

@greeneking I’m not sure this padlocked “Emergency exit” is very…. legal?

I'm trying to put a BLTouch on my 3D printer. Pretty deep into Yak Shaving... (tbf, I'm using it to learn CadQuery/build123d)

@barnoid Oh not at all! Thanks for building such an entertaining puzzle! I have a (secret!) picture of the inside of the prize box if you’d like that?

Tildagon #emfcamp #emf2024 can now be a (janky) Googly Eye. Get it here apps.badge.emfcamp.org/apps/32412034/

Tonight’s making cut short by sneezing a capacitor out of existence 😔

If you recently bought one of the cheap OKDO LD06 #LIDAR sensors, you might be interested in my @Raspberry_Pi #RP2040 library for it + example which provides a simple USB interface github.com/usedbytes/rp20…

The PolyGen unit 09 last seen at Cheltenham Hack Space tent is still missing. Doesn't anyone know it's whereabouts? #emf #emfcamp #emf2024

@drfootleg @recantha I think those are the ones @PiDrogen used. I couldn’t find a blog post about it, but they printed a hex adapter and bolted it through some holes on the wheels

Question from Discord for #PiWars folks... Do you need 4 separate motor outputs for a 4-wheel Mecanum robot? If so, what driver board would you recommend to do that?

@biglesp and @tomshardware have invited @CannonFodder and I on The Pi Cast tomorrow, the latest in a run of @PiWarsRobotics content. Tune in here: youtube.com/live/4qas4RPOE…

Ahead of the Brian² masterclass with @CannonFodder and @usedbytes tomorrow night , on the Pi Cast, here's my chat with @biglesp last week about Scarab! youtube.com/live/cGYd_gG1O… Thanks again to @tomshardware for having me on the show to talk about Pi Wars!

@rwhb2 @printablescom @josefprusa Fair enough, you’ve convinced me

@usedbytes @printablescom @josefprusa Some examples of things like this from the front page of printables: Nuts and bolts printables.com/model/847191-b… Magnetic connector printables.com/model/844072-m… Pipe clip printables.com/model/841356-p… I'm not saying all these people chose the wrong license, but they probably did.

I am mad about something on the internet. 🤬 On @printablescom by @josefprusa many generic "parts" get licensed with CC-BY-NC or similar. E.g. search for "corner bracket". 🤢 Probably the creator doesn't realise how bad it is. I'd like option to exclude NC from search please.

@RosmoRobot @rwhb2 @printablescom @josefprusa Ohhhh you mean the actual printed part? Yeah now Rob’s beef makes more sense.

@usedbytes @rwhb2 @printablescom @josefprusa But it stops me buying one, so I can't have one at all.

@RosmoRobot @rwhb2 @printablescom @josefprusa I’m confused - why not download the free original one that I uploaded, for free?

@RosmoRobot @rwhb2 @printablescom @josefprusa I’d rather people not pay for things which I created and intended them to have for free

@usedbytes @rwhb2 @printablescom @josefprusa How does stopping people selling them benefit you?
