A few weeks ago I made this little pomodoro timer for home work and it's helped out a lot with my mental and physical health by making me take breaks and moving rather than sitting at a desk all day.

I have different settings for timers and also a chill out mode that plays a calming gif and lofi tracks. Built with a pi zero and a pirate audio hat and some lines of python. Slow to boot but once running it's great.

I call it the pimodoro

Nen #US - #Funkgerät importieren ist zwar nicht "illegal", die Benutzung entgegen #Frequenzzuteilung bzw. ohne Erlaubnis dagegen schon.

• Und ja, angesichts dessen dass dieses Exemplar #TETRA - Meldeempfänger stören rate ich allen davon ab sowas zu benutzen, denn die @BNetzA tritt für illegale Sendeanlagen recht flink Türen ein!
  • Deshalb immer auf #CEPT-Freigabe und andere Standards achten!

Zumal bei #CB-Funk im 27 MHz - Band bis zu 4 W (je nach Betriebsart & Kanal) erlaubt sind und halbwegs taugliche Antennen echt viel Reichweite rauskitzeln ohne dass Mensch nachher nen Messwagen aus Bonn in der Einfahrt stehen hat.

• Also ich würd's nicht kaufen, und stattdessen Leuten eher nen CB-Handfunkgerät, RTL-SDR (zum Empfang) und nen #PiZero als #Meshtastic - #Pager empfehlen würde.

So oder so jetzt nicht der Burner!

Finally got Brother B2100 to work on Pi zero. Had to uninstall ipp-usb so that cups can finally detect it. Why...? Had me wracking ma greys for days.

PS- Brother HL-L2300D brlaser driver.

An updated ClusterHAT v2.6 will be available shortly.

The Cluster HAT is a simple way to connect up to 4 Raspberry Pi Zero to a host Raspberry Pi using USB Gadget network and serial with I2C power control via GPIO.

The main changes are:

* The USB HUB updated to the CH334F which has a Multiple Transaction Translator (MTT).
* The (now obsolete) XRA1200P I/O expander is replaced by an ATtiny1616 which ships with firmware emulating the XRA1200P. It also has a built-in UPDI programmer for the ATtiny1616 allowing simple updates or switching to custom/more advanced firmware.

Connectig a #bluetooth headphone to #pizero all good fun, but aplay -l or arecord -l would never show the new connected device.

However it is there and it works.

#linux #debian a complete waste of time :p
