Some time ago, actually by now already some years ago, I got myself an ESP32 LyraT audio development board. This is basically a pretty simple board demonstrating a bunch of interesting features of the ESP32 SOC, here embedded in the ESP32 WROVER module accompanied by an ES8388 audio codec connected via I2S to the ESP32, two NS4150 amplifiers to drive… Read more »
Seit gut einem dreiviertel Jahr fahren wir nun elektrisch. Und um das gleich vorweg zu nehmen, ich würde unseren kleinen VW e-Up nicht wieder gegen einen Verbrenner tauschen wollen! Das fängt schon mit dem Fahrgefühl an – Ruhe. Kein ständig murmelnder Motor, keine Schaltpausen während der Fahrt durch ein Getriebe, Automatik oder nicht, keine Drehzahllöcher. Einfach eine ruhige und kontinuierliche… Read more »
Recently I needed some video surveillance camera setup for our small office. There will be some de-and then construction work in our area and I just want to make sure that this does not attract some morons… anyway. So I looked around and since this will definitely not be a permanent thing (I despise video surveillance!) I did not want… Read more »
We want to believe in the good in all people. We want to believe that everyone will be kind to each other, accepting and loving. But we also know that things go wrong, that people, organizations and governments do bad things from time to time and that it is vital that these bad things can be reported anonymously – to… Read more »
Recently I purchased a pair of JBL’s Live Pro+ TWS wireless headsets. To be honest, I did not really need it but I needed to get rid of some flying miles at Lufthansa’s Miles&More shop before these expire. Since everything else in their shop was not really appealing to me I finally settled on this pair. I do not want… Read more »
By some lucky circumstances I received a Chuwi Minibook 8 from Chuwi’s mothership company Zwide. Wondering what this is? Well, it looks like this: Which one? Well, kind of all four because it has this „yoga“ hinge so that you can bend the display over by 360 degrees. But the most striking thing about the Minibook 8 is its size… Read more »
I am not a musician, not at all. I love music! And for year I feel the craving for being able to make my own music, but have not found the right means for it, yet. Over 30 years ago I started a bit with the guitar and indeed had some fun with it! But it cost a lot of… Read more »
So, for some reason I dug out my old Thinkpad Tablet 10 again and tried to fire it up. I have to admit I neglected it badly for the past – umpf – maybe thee years? So of course the first thing was that the battery was full flat, it did not even power up. So I let it charge… Read more »
Die Vorgeschichte Seit Kurzem spiele ich wieder mit OpenStreetMap und Software herum. Das habe ich vor Jahren schon einmal, jetzt hat es mich mal wieder gepackt, hier ein altes Projekt: https://source.dpin.de/nica/mappix Mappix sollte mal ein Tool werden, um GPS Tracks direkt in Kartendaten zu verwandeln. Auf dem Weg entstand eine Menge Code zum Malen der Tracks und auch zur Optimierung…. Read more »
Do you steill remember these tiny Fonera boxes that came up in the early 2000 (maybe 2005 or so)? Fonera started out to create public WiFi infrastructure and you could participate in it by sharing your internet connection with ours – either for free or even earning some money. The routers they used came almost for free so they got… Read more »
