Xkcd sums up the dilemma of #tinkering
But at the end of the day we fiddle with projects not for economic reasons but valuable learning, hard to put a price on that
Bit of a late update on the sword handle. But.. I would have done a lot of things differently a second time around. Still, I feel like like I got it pretty close for my first time doing something like this.

Follow-up on this #s0Projects from last year.
I bought a replacement battery and installed it, and the player seemed ok. It gave a little warning icon that I assumed was harmless.
But today I pulled it out to give a maintenance recharge, and found it refused to charge at all!
Disassembled, desoldered battery, confirmed it charged fine independently, did some more probing… basically, it seems that the replacement battery I bought has the wrong kind of NTC thermistor in it.
The player refused to charge unless there was at least 40kΩ between BAT- and the temp sensor pin.
Seems odd, that doesn’t appear to match any NTC that I’m familiar with. And interesting that it only checks the NTC while charging, not discharging!
Anyway, I swiftly “adjusted” the setup so now it will charge happily. Who needs temperature safety?

Haven’t written it up fully yet but over Easter I made some big improvements with my Wollemi prototype, adding the e-paper display code and implementing prototype CDP support too!
This goes on the list of “needs polishing into blog post and open sourcing”, but I’m very happy with this prototype.
It’s most of the way to being a $100 LinkRunner alternative.
Much thanks to friends who know who they are for helping me get off the ground with embedded rust! I posted a little about the first iteration of this device with the same hardware, which involved ugly hacking on micropython & C++ which I didn’t like.
Rust had a tricky learning curve for embedded with the borrowing system, but I’m really loving working in it. Every ten minutes I spend being told off by the compiler is an hour I don’t spend diagnosing memory lifetime bugs.
