BigClive showed this AliExpress traffic light, its very poxy and has green on top! (Flashed each light 5x, repeat) That would not do. I made a board that runs the UK sequence with incandescent fades. STM32C011 is the core, SW in Ada. github.com/morbos/ada/t...

Worked! SWD connected. For soldering, a very thin layer of flux was added to the footprint. Then two hotplates, one at 150c for 90s another at 250c for 30s. All in all, quite straightforward.

smol, a 0.35mm pitch WLCSP12 STM32C011D6 footprint. 1.7mm x 1.4mm package. C2&D3 are epoxy filled via-in-pad as they are unroutable w/o that. I have its physically bigger cousin running Ada in 16k of flash with only 6k ram. This one has 32k, woo hoo.

A snail could have got there quicker. This Christmas card *just* arrived at some friends in SF from us here in Silicon Valley. 45miles in 8 months. Hopefully they will deliver our ballots this year in a more timely fashion.

One snag with the old one, the rubber feet wore off eons ago. My soln, clear 2mm silicone sheet material. Cut to size and place a drop of UV glue and the lamp cures it through the feet. Good surface stiction from the replacements.

The first two smartphones and a pixel 10 xl. I can't find the charge cable for the HTC dream in the middle, the iPhone I could probably get going though, assuming the battery is spry.

You should stop by! There are some amazing experiments happening in the Anomalous Materials lab! Not sure where it will lead to though.

I know you've had a few rides in it back when. You laughed when you saw the Triplex logos on the glass.

Making the turn, observe how the isolated straps pass the current around the poles.

The mid 60's houses are in this 'California Hacienda' style. Love the old style lamp and the arches, there are many like this here in Monta Vista.

This is a combination streetlamp and pole pig in Monta Vista from the creation of the neighbourhood in the mid 1960s. Paint is a bit lacking here. This is the terminus of a string of these.

These are 115kv lines heading to Moffett field. They exit the Monta Vista substation and proceed over suburban neighborhoods. Here they are about to cross the eight lane I-280 freeway from the southbound side at the terminus of Groveland Dr.

This board I cobbled together, ready for mailbox installation. The door will have a small disc magnet that trips the magnetometer threshold, wakes the CPU, and sends a LoRa message indicating (most likely) that mail has arrived. Runs on harvested energy.

Hedley Rainnie @hrrzi.com · 16/03/2025

My new board works. First time, just a minor Ada sw change to add the TCXO that this LoRa module needs. So it harvests, charges the battery, gives 3.3v to the module and the magnetometer works. No issues seen.. yet.

Specifically this one. Prob board designers worst nightmare when a part like this is spec'd. Here's the footprint... Oh.. btw.. it needs a hundred passives.

Christmas miracle. After I put my one way stopper door in, a squirrel exited but could not get back in... so.... he loitered... loitering is being monitored by a true apex predator. This happened *fast*

Spanish tile roof. Stopper nail rusts, squirrel pulls it out, munches though the roof, welcome freeloaders. Cobbled this one way door today in a few hours. Final one has some nasty SS mesh on the sides.
