Last night I ran the numbers. I have 14 x 240W panels on my roof. I stored my electricity usage for almost a year. Without a battery, the excess production is wasted (sold due to the lease). Here is what I can do instead notenoughtech.com/featured/ind...

I found a new plugin for #TRMNL dashboard. It shows you how screwed we are each day based on 85 years of weather history. It's interesting and terrifying at the same time. You can read more about the device in my review: notenoughtech.com/review/trmnl/

Please form an orderly queue and await gates to open. #emfcamp. I started a trend with chairs. Also everyone is shopping for the same cart. I'm jealous of anyone having one

It looks like I'll be attending #EMF26 next month! On top of that, I'm going to be on stage talking about what it takes to become a robotics engineer without previous experience. I hope you are all as excited to hear my story as I am scared to deliver the keynote!

I have added USB-C PD and QuickCharge to my laptop and swapped a 10-year-old battery. The first charge/discharge cycle is now complete - and I'm happy with the result! 5h45min to discharge and 3h10min to charge while powered with 60h USB-C youtube.com/shorts/iEZ5l...

It's been almost a year since my #EmbeddedWorld collab with #Electromaker. I got their newsletter reminding me that today. What are the odds of me wearing the same tshirt to work? 😂😂

The story of a USB-A cable split into 3 leads (USB-c, micro USB, and lightning) Now it makes sense why data didn't work on all leads. Honestly best gadget I picked this year amzn.to/4rC7JVU

One downside of my visit to China was the new restriction on power banks on domestic flights. As 3 of my power banks were not 3C certified, they got confiscated by airport security. 😬 I treated myself to this bad boy on #cybermonday amzn.to/4iu9Ua7

If you are by any chance at #MakerFaire in #Shenzhen next week, come and say hello 👋 I'll be there discussing how making at home opens up paths to industrial automation around the world! Big thanks to @seeedstudio.com for having me! www.shenzhenmakerfaire.com/2025/10/28/m...

Here is a little something I cooked up in ##Fusion360. I bought a TV recently which is now hanged on a wall. I figured, I could re-create TV leg interface and #3dPrint the stand-offs that hold my soundbar in place. The result in comments. Yey/Ney?

The way to over-engineer #parkrun - This is all automated, with a weather forecast added 5 days before the event. And yes, it supports custom drinks and ordering for the friends you may tag along with you! This is how wild I am on Saturday nights!

There is something satisfying about using #epaper displays for work. #reMarkable keeps my docs organised, while @usetrmnl.com dashboard keeps me on top of my schedule. All this without writing a single line of code! notenoughtech.com/review/trmnl/

I teased in my review that #reTerminal from @seeedstudio.com is getting #TRMNL support, and here we are! Now you can decide how much coding you want to do! Happy 100 days till 2026, everyone! notenoughtech.com/home-automat...

Anyone knows where I can buy a white jacket with a scorpion on the back? I already drove to the ocean side while listening to the 80s synth. Sometimes I wonder how did I managed to live this life. Tomorrow I'm driving to LA.

I may or may not be in #California right now. There are some clear benefits of having a company card with generous project budget. Driving this thing while a fighter jet flew 30m over me was the most American thing that happened so far. 😁

I unlock my house by staring at my door. It almost feels like magic! Almost, as it's all made possible thanks to the latest smart lock from #SwitchBot want to check out #SwitchBotLockUltra and #SwitchBotKeypadVision with me? notenoughtech.com/home-automat...

Today I'm doing #totalwarrior course after being tricked into getting a ticket by Charlotte. Charlotte is a midwife responsible for delivering half of the teeside and she cares about #VICTA if you have disposable income and want to support our goal. victa.enthuse.com/pf/charlotte...

To all your online detectives out there. Can you tell which household device would leave this footprint on my SeeedStudio ePaper dashboard? (the dips are grid usage) If you want to know how to make this dashboard, here is the link: notenoughtech.com/home-automat...

If anyone knows some cool UI design tools let me know. The first version of the #EnergyDashboard is complete and you can tinker with the code yourself to add it to your #HomeAssistant instance. notenoughtech.com/home-automat...

Messing about at work with magnetic fields. This visualising plate is cool. It shows direction of the magnetiv field and possible changes in the orientation as the plate or magnets move.

Last week, I attended the #EmbeddedWorld expo in Nuremberg, Germany. We shot over 20 interviews in two days and I discovered what embedded tech you should expect in 2025! Don't miss my coverage, and head to #electromaker to check it out! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I'm currently experimenting with this little board and #RaspberryPi #CM5 Will it work? If so, I may need 5 more

On a scale from 1-10 how epic my B-Roll feels? [tech note: my tripod can't support this weight properly hence small shake]

Unfortunately, my current slider from #Zeapon gave up its last breath after years of service (damage from the house contributed). It means that after having my eyes set on #JibONE by #edelkrone I finally made an executive decision to drop my savings on. I hope you'll enjoy the new B-roll!

Turns out that if I double the number of optical sensors on my robotic arm.. The accuracy improves. As if it knows where to go?

The only day I get to sleep in 1h longer, they release #CM5 - all sold out by now! The cool thing about the #ComputeModule5 by #RaspberryPi is that for the most part, it is compatible with #CM4 accessories. Now I need #Super6C board for CM5 to set up my website server!

Tell me you are taking the house renovations seriously without telling me that you do! Currently, I'm working on a CAD representation of the house so I could try things out without taking the hammer to the wall. The upcoming #SmartHome series from the ground up... will be from the ground up.

I'm not saying that I'm the next reincarnation of #VanGogh, but how would explain this photo? It doesn't help that I actually started painting the replica of the very same "Seascape". I guess this is how port-post=post impressionism was born #Art #photography #paintings #Saltburnbythesea

This is my new #NAS drive! There are many like it, but this one brings insane specs to my editing workflow. To fill it with designed 64TB capacity one must spend approx £5500. I don't have that kind of money.. But I have certain connections that let me fill all 8 slots. Review soon.

My phone can't accurately record how magnificent this looked. People around me paused their evening strols to take in the sights and enjoy the fleeting moment.

I went for a drive. I had to film some footage for my upcoming dashcam review when nature pulled this! I'm sitting in the restaurant waiting for coffee and cake grinning to a spectacular moon rise over the a windless sea. Waves are purely caused by satelitę pictured. #Saltburnbythesea #photography

I got some nice lens flares on this picture last night. I plan to print it in an A3 frame and decorate my space with some cool photos from my area. These images are unedited. #Teesside #TransporterBridge #Photography #WhateverTheFTheOtherThingIs

What meant to be a fun little expedition to take night time industrial landscape photographs ended up with me having strong words with a security guard that shone a green laser into my eyes while I was taking pictures from public spaces. 🤬 #teesside #photography #TransporterBridge
Teesside's Transporter Bridge looming over the town. Looking like a blue version a stretched out ATAT walker.
