Just published: "Air Quality Sensors...a Terminal Dawn Side Quest" 🌬️

Built a Pi-powered air quality monitor with CO₂, VOC, and particulate sensors after getting inspired at GrafanaCon. The hardest part? Wiring, not the design!

Designed the whole enclosure in FreeCAD, set up Grafana dashboards, and learned this could become a perfect module for Terminal Dawn's ecosystem.

Airquality Sensors...a Terminal Dawn Side Quest

Side Quest to work with a group of Air Quality Sensors.

🔧 New Terminal Dawn build log is up!

"Fasteners - The Grudge" - Where I learn that FreeCAD's fastener addon and my brain don't always align.

FreeCAD Fasteners, The Grudge

So working with fasteners in FreeCAD has led me to believe...I'm screwed.

Part 2 of my FreeCAD learning series is up!

Went from "how hard could it be?" to actually making progress on my solar-powered Terminal Dawn enclosure. This week: wrestling with the Move/Array tool and discovering the magic of Trim Edge in the sketcher.

Spoiler: FreeCAD and I are in a complicated situationship 😅

Includes a step-by-step breakdown of the Array workflow that works.

Just published the first post in my FreeCAD learning series! 🛠️

Building enclosures for my solar-powered Raspberry Pi knowledge repository (Terminal Dawn) - constraining myself to paper size (216x280mm) because why make things easy?

Next up: learning how to not accidentally delete my entire sketch 🤦‍♂️
