Two days ago the worst thing happened: I tried to access the NAS over the network and couldn't. I could log in to OMV ok, and interrogated the setup only to discover both Main and Backup filesystems weren't mounted (or mountable) and even the disks...
In the company where i work, we have a personal badge that we have to keep visible and we use it to open the office doors, like in most of the other companies. After breaking my badge holder, i came up with the idea of make a badge holder with PCBs and...
Revision 2 of the PCB layout implements the changes needed to make rev 1 functional, plus some additional goodies: Added D5 5.6V zener diode on the PoE output voltage to limit the output voltage under no or low load conditions by providing a minimum...
I've made the version of the board using the Si4734 the main version, at least for contest purposes. Besides the I2C interface, it has the benefit of using fewer passive components; that allows me to put in jumper wire holes so the output can be diverted...
Playing around with various methods to determine a workable more advanced method to control the HP 5N printer, I have come to realize how naive we were back in the 90's. So I figured I might be able to use the syslog server functionality of the printer...

I have just commited the updated software to my github. The save/load/delete/dir functions are working like a charm. There is only one limitation no subdirectories allowed. I have made some tests with subdirectories but dir was always crashing. Regarding...
I decided to design this when I was starting prototyping an other project, and wished I had something similar. After a quick, unsuccessful query on Tindie (this is something similar, but not designed for breadboard, and not OSHW), the next thing...
Common problem to the A20M, A10M and other 3D printers using this extruder: I fried the A9 (T0) input of the micro-controller. After reassembling the hot end the temp was stuck on 93C cold. With everything disconnected or only the daughter board connected...
