Looking for a project to do over the #Easter hols, why not gift a #raspberrPi Pico word clock or make one with your kids over the break. Great fun all round and a great quality product at the end.

heise+ | Drehzahlregler aufgeschaut: So funktioniert er
Ein kleines Rädchen stellt die Drehzahl von Bohr- und anderen Maschinen ein. Dahinter verbirgt sich ein mechanisch und elektronisch ausgeklügeltes Teil.
I glued the bubinga fingerboard to the #bass neck this afternoon. The hard maple neck is reinforced with 2 (probably overkill) carbon fiber rods and a truss rod. Inlays and side markers are Total Boat #epoxy with Black Diamond Pigments for the blue/green color. Now on to the body. #maker #pghmaker #diy #wood #woodworking #clampchamp #bassguitar #luthier #empireofdust

A Game Boy Speedometer, just because you can.
The “world’s worst digital dash”, a Nintendo Game Boy as a digital speedometer. Interfacing the handheld with the vehicle’s CAN bus system, this project has something to offer.

![Months of work have gone into decoding the Game Boy’s data bus and creating a schematic for the interface board. Tricking the Game Boy into thinking it was loading a game, while actually displaying incoming speed data. The screen’s low resolution and slow refresh rate rendered it barely readable in a moving vehicle. But [John]’s goal wasn’t practicality — it was just proving it could be done.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/251/391/317/762/186/original/f1ea811e6cb4c4c3.jpeg "Months of work have gone into decoding the Game Boy’s data bus and creating a schematic for the interface board.

Showing real-time vehicle speed on the Game Boy sounds like it should be relatively easy, but the iconic game system wasn’t exactly built for such a task. Its 2 MHz CPU and 160×144 pixel dot-matrix screen were every kid’s dream in 1989, but using it as a car dashboard is pushing it. To bridge that gap, [John] designed two custom circuit boards.
One interfaces with the Game Boy, intercepting its memory requests and feeding it data from a microcontroller. The other processes the CAN bus signals, translating speed information into a form the Game Boy can display. [John] used inexpensive tools and software to read the CAN bus data, and used GBDK-2020 to write the software in C.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/114/251/392/340/955/496/original/f54a186d63357559.png "[ImageSource: John Sutley]

One of the things I do is design and build consoles, sometimes based on existing ones, sometimes around the Pi. Here’s my MegaExpress, a handheld console based around a PC Engine #RetroGaming #Maker Building The Rarest Handheld Console Nobody Has Seen Before

Yes, I still use a Magsafe 
made the new reinforcer with PETG & it does lower the detail precision a little, given my (lack of) skills anyway...
- not that PLA didn't do the job, that one lasted a fair while. It's just because the PETG was already loaded up on the machine 
I've gone live on Owncast!

Anyone else struggling with long DPNs poking into boobs/chest when knitting in the round?
Me too, until I discovered that Clover makes 5" needles in US5, a premium bamboo product called Takumi. Here's a shot of one Takumi swapped out for longer DPNs. So much more manageable!

Yay! The Mom Crème Anglaise sweater is at last done, delivered and mom-approved!
I learned so much making this. Lots of frogging back, switching yarns, switching patterns also. Settled on Valley Yarns Charlemont fingering and Cascade Baby Alpaca lace held together - dream combo. I love how the silk helps give the other fibers and the garment structure. Hooray, a #FO!

Es liegt keine brauchbare Anleitung bei. Lediglich ein Schaltplan, ein chinesischer Text und ein exemplarischer Linienplan.
Auf https://www.instructables.com/Soldering-D2-5-Tracking-Smart-Car-Kits/ gibt's eine Anleitung.
Die LEDs auf der Unterseite NICHT dicht an der Platine einlöten. Es fehlen Lötpads auf der Oberseite.
Die Qualität der Platine ist nicht gut, da sich die Leiterbahn schnell ablöst, wenn man Korrekturen vornimmt.
@balkonsolar
Ein regelmäßiges Magazin?
Einleitung Steckersolar kann nicht nur auf dem Balkon,.sondern auch auf Dach, Wiese installiert werden.
Als Besitzer war ja grobes Doing:
Solarhändler finden
Beste Module,
Cloudfreier Wechselrichter (sind da auch reingefallen trotz Vorinfos)
Gesamtkosten Versand, Gadgets, Aufhängung
Der Beispielrechner der HTW
Verschattung
Solarpaneltypen Glas, Plastik, beidseitig...
Die Musterschreiben
Rechtsbeistand
Gutachten zur Legalität, Positivbeispiele aus der Praxis
Garantie(bei Chinateilen, Händler)
Steckdose+Anschluss
Speicher
Kombi Balkonsolar, Mehrfamilienhaus, weitere Solaranlagen
Wie trackt man Verbrauch/Stromerzeugung (App, Smarthome)
Also wenn man das Magazin liest, sollte man am Ende die Solaranlage komplett betrieben können.
Heikel wäre für einige, den Stecker zusammenzuschrauben. Ist gut gemeint, aber einfach Schuko für Steckdose ist nutzerfreundlicher.
I think I’m happy with this enclosure design! All goes together with friction. No screws needed! #3dprinting #3dprinted #wled #rgbled #rgb #neopixel #maker #makers #electronics
