I write some code. I play with cameras and electronics. I'm a Googler working on Street View but opinions here are just mine.

Making progress on a DIY #SlimeVR tracker built with just a few parts from @adafruit . The BoM cost is a lot higher than other DIY options but there are fewer parts and zero soldering.
This is an Adafruit ESP32-S3 Feather https://www.adafruit.com/product/5477 , the InvenSense ICM-20948 breakout https://www.adafruit.com/product/4554 , connected with a 50mm stemma QT (JST SH 4-Pin) Cable https://www.adafruit.com/product/4399 . And there's a 1200 mAh LiPo below https://www.adafruit.com/product/258 .
Anders Celsius died a few hundred years ago today. My weather widget marked the anniversary.

Attached: 2 images Swedish astronomer, physicist, and mathematician Anders Celsius died #OTD in 1744. In 1742, Celsius introduced the temperature scale that bears his name. His original scale was actually the reverse of what we use today: it set the boiling point of water at 0 degrees & the freezing point at 100 degrees. However, shortly after his death, the scale was reversed by Carl Linnaeus, resulting in the 0 degrees for freezing & 100 degrees for boiling that we are familiar with. #books #science #physics
