I live in Australia, love cooking, drink, grow a lot of chillies, tinker with electronics, drink, have a lot of kitchen appliances, and play computer games... Usually while drinking.

These are all split up over 3 channels; Cooks, Tinkers, and Games, so you only have to sub to the one that interests you!

► IoT Solution(s)
● Brain: Home Assistant
● Host: Raspberry Pi 4
● Commercial Goods: WiZ or TP-Link Kasa (RIP)
● Open Source Goods: Athom
● Cameras: Reolink & Ubiquiti
● Network: Cisco Meraki Router, Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch(es), Unifi 6 APs, Pi-hole DNS, Eaton UPSs, QNAP NAS, WD Red
● Vaping: No, I'm not a god damn hipster. Too short and beardless for that.

Since 2019: Fk having Internet-connected fridge, microwave, oven or similar.

Always happy to take some input or ideas, but I have a hectic life running two businesses with staff, so I will get to it, but maybe not for a while. Cheers

I've got QUITE a bit of content to get through before the year is out, so let's leave it up to public opinion! What do YOU want to see next? Cast your vote 👌 I'll do this over two polls though, the next scheduled in 15 mins, as it only gives 4 options per #poll.

What do you want to see it do?

Do you find that the videos I titled "SBC Tier List - Luckfox Lyra eSBC" and "SBC Tier List - Waveshare RP2350 Plus" are more appealing?

Ooh I did really enjoy testing the #Debix Model C; these #SOM boards are going to be interesting!

What do YOU want to see tested this time? Specs:

- Model A: NXP i.MX 8M Plus (4 x Cortex-A53). Ubuntu, Yocto, Debian, Windows 10 IoT
- Model B: NXP i.MX 9352 (2 x Cortex-A55, 1 x Cortex-M33, 1 x Arm Ethos-U65 microNPU). Ubuntu, Debian.
- Model C: NXP i.MX 9131, 1 x Cortex-A55. Yocto, Zephyr

And they're all industrial again, with model A being -20°C to 70°C, and the rest -40°C to 85°C. #NXP

DeepSleepr v0.1 connected to a Luckfox Core3566 (on a WaveShare base board) being tested. Then sleep mode current being measured standalone.

The meter software only has an accuracy of 100uA (0.1mA) and the meter itself only 10uA, but it didn't go over 30uA that I could see, and that is likely my inefficient use of the AMS1117-3.3 to resolve the I2C issues.

I had some minor design flaws in this version, such as missing I2C pull-ups, an unnecessary resistor on the UPDI line, and 5V traces being too thin, but v0.2 is about to go to production and has heaps of other improvements too!
