Bought an Arduino kit recently and have done just a little bit with it, but not much.  One of the projects I’m looking at uses an ATTiny85 to reduce CPU for a 433MHz receiver (https://github.com/pilight/pilight_firmware), so I bought some ATTiny85’s and will need to program them.  That can be done using Arduino 1.6 – reference […]

Acurite #0899 self emptying rain gauge – at Amazon Blog post on reversing the signal from Acurite temperature sensors; may be similar for the rain gauges.  Also mentions the RTL SDR.  Probably wouldn’t be bad to have. Another blog post regarding reading the Acurite 5n1 station.  Possible that part of this will already cover the rain […]

This is a space that has blossomed and matured surprisingly quickly, and many of the frustrations I had previously encountered are gradually being solved. I was initially researching veth’s and bridging a container network to the host network. I have a container inside […]
