I've got a new #KiCad plugin out in the KiCad plugin manager:
KiCoil generates "twisted" planar inductors. You can make it do one- or two-layer spiral inductors, toroid inductors, and many intermediate, hybrid variants in between spiral and toroid inductors.
These hybrid types have wider traces than a single-layer spiral, and have better high-frequency behavior (parasitic capacitance and self-resonant frequency) compared to two-layer spiral inductors. And they look really pretty!
The #GardenLights #Cheerlights box is now screwed to the garden wall and operational :)
So #ESP8266 D1 Mini board in there with a 20Ah battery, running #MicroBlocks script publishing using #MQTT to my broker cymplecy.uk on topic gardenlights. This received by #NodeRED on Pi in my house which uses UDP to update colour of the #Wiz lights and also toots out to cheerlights
Noodling with noodles; playing with projectors; confusion with codes... the latest #weeknotes
Updating the @DoESLiverpool "Cost of Doing Epic" poster, so I've fired up our big poster printer!
As you can see, the red bar of expenses is still higher than the green bar of income 💔 They're closer than last time I ran it, but still the wrong way round.
