The fact I asked myself this shows the rock bottom I'm at

What else you got going on in your life? Hobbies? Job?

[–] jamhandy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's the thing. Got a good job and really love my selection of hobbies. I don't have anything I'm covering, I think I'm just an addictive person.

I can change course, I know I have to

I'm infinitely more interested in what you want and like to do than I am in what you don't want to do.

I just spent the morning installing Linux, the afternoon blacksmithing, and I'm headed out to fly a hot air balloon. When I get home, I need to work on my web store.

What are your hobbies?

[–] jamhandy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well thanks, stranger. I appreciate it :)

I love electronics, am a digital HW engineer by trade, but analogue has been a lot of fun. Been coming up with SMD prototyping methods that don't involve etching. I love my hobbies and really enjoy what I do :)

That's pretty cool. I've loosely dabbled: arduino, raspberry pi, nothing particularly useful.

My brother and I cobbled together remote shutoffs for our inflation fans using 433MHz relay boards. They just work in parallel with the fan's shutoff switch, grounding out the ignition coil through a relay.

I'd like to be able to use DTMF tones from our UHF (business band) radios instead of the little keyfobs. I found a DTMF relay board, but I don't have a great way to get the audio to it. Right now, I'd be using a cable from the 2.5mm phone plug on the radio to the 3.5mm phone plug on the board. I'd prefer to have a UHF receiver built in, rather than patched in with a cable.

Nice! I never got I to the black magic world of RF, but appreciate it from a distance

Right now I'm putting together a minimal hal using Zig for my stm32. It's so nice to not have to use c lol. I'm not a good c programmer.

My end goal is to use what I learn here to try out a low cost series of MCU called the puya py32, it's an arm cortex processor for like 15 cents! I'd love to find a go-to cheap MCU for toy projects and this seems to be it
