  • Next steps

  • Ok, I just moved house a bit out of the center. That's been taking up my time for tha past 2 weeks. There are plenty of crows, jackdaws, magpies and jays here and I already have a bunch of jackdaws coming to my balcony. Now I can work on refactoring...
  • Bottlecap Magazine

  • I left the feeder unattended in timer mode for 3 days, then switched it to normal mode. The gang of four pigeons that frequented the V2 feeder have dominated the V3 feeder. Unfortunately they have become pretty territorial. A couple of them seem...

  • New New Backing Pump

  • I let the vacuum geeks talk me into a real backing pump and got this Welch 1402 for a good deal on eBay. The seller didn't know whether it worked, or what condition it was in. All they could say is that the motor runs and the pump feels like...
  • Layout is done

  • I have made two layouts, one for 2 layer PCBs and one with 4 layers. There's not a huge difference, but power supply is a bit better with 4 layers.Here's a 3D view:The schematic is pretty simple since the design is pretty much just a breakout board for...
  • 9-bit DisplayIO and CircuitPython

  • When I was testing that breakout board for the display I've chosen, I immediately noticed a funny thing: while it uses the standard 4-wire SPI interface, it actually only has 3 wires: SCK, MOSI, and CS. There is no D/C pin! So how is the driver chip...
  • MB Mounts.

  • When you are happy with the position of the MB, you need to mark the position of the 4 mounting holes nearest the corners of the MB.   Using a cordless drill with a 2.5mm drill bit., drill through the mounting holes - just enough to mark the screen...

  • It's been nearly a year since I posted any updates on this project. Much has changed in that time. I finally got Pop!_OS to install on the 1TB internal SSD and can now run my favorite OS on the VCS. A while back I bought a mini gaming PC and forgot all...
  • Lots of work still

  • I was hoping to get the physical build done over the weekend. But the design took me longer than I thought. I honestly did not do that great of a job with the internal sensor bed where all the electronics mount to. So after I've laid everything...

  • Currently, I am checking the new PCB and changing the code. As soon as it's ready I'll publish it. Corrections: There were2 errors on my PCB one on the pin of the DHT22 and one on the 5V pump which consumed too much power for the 2N7000. Everything...
  • 22/09/22 - Assembly! ...and some mistakes

  • Check. It. Out! The first board has been assembled! I placed the buttons on the opposite side (Intentional, and a great demonstration of one of the assembly of the board; Placing the through-hole components on either side has zero effect on functionality....
  • RC 2022/10 Day 13-14: Rev 1.0 is routed!

  • A few design tweaks and many hours of routing later, Flounder Rev 1.0A is ready for manufacturing. Other than rearranging some of the connectors, the most significant changes are the reworked power supply. I removed the heatsink and mounted the regulator...
