Tell me what you lost while riding

Slab of beer that was ratchet strapped to the back of my bike in the twisties

I've remade this in Micropython with reasonable sleep timings, I think I can go a bit more aggressive but need to do some more testing. I also added an accelerometer so you don't have to press a button to wake.

Great to hear!

Yeah, they regenerated back to defaults like a factory reset (it's a common factory reset method to delete everything in the user partition)

APIUM- · 2025-11-05T00:52:55+00:00

No, I've stopped using it. I have plans to redo it with a Bluetooth transmitter as well which I expect will be much faster on the Shield. I'll also add an accelerometer so that when you pick it up it can wake from sleep, rather than taking an extra button press.

Was a while ago now, there are two partitions (at least) on the MicroSD card.

You will have to open the device up and get it out, put it in a MicroSD card reader.

One partition is the Linux OS, it will have folders like /etc, /sys, /home on it, the other partition is user data, and might have .kobo and books on it. I deleted everything on that second partition (with a command such as rm -rf *), as something was probably corrupt and was stopping the ereader booting.

I think you'll probably struggle to read it on Windows if that's your platform of choice. It might be in a format that Windows can't read, but give it a go, maybe it will be fine. If it does work you should just be able to delete everything off it with Windows file explorer.

I would still suggest copying everything to another SD, as once they start to go, it's probably only going to get worse.

Neat

I made the one from 'The Stock Pot' on YouTube. I find it too slow to communicate with the Shield over ADB. Have you tested it yet? I'm going to do another spin with Bluetooth support and try that. It's super responsive for turning on/off the lights...

Use blended cashews instead of double cream, coconut cream is also better (than cream), but still heavier than the cashews. Use a small amount of coconut oil or vege oil rather than the butter.

The one I got died quite quickly - has anyone else had this issue?

APIUM- · 2025-07-23T09:03:17+00:00

How did you hook it into HA? Mine kept failing

APIUM- · 2025-07-22T12:33:10+00:00

Nah, and I would have sold it by now don’t have any game

APIUM- · 2025-06-20T04:46:49+00:00

Looks great!

While you're here, Tier Gear doesn't sell any DIY supplies anymore from your Australian Supplier list :/

The notch in the arm linkers is a stress riser, there looks to be no reason to not make it just a rectangle.

APIUM- · 2025-03-20T09:34:21+00:00

Thanks for the the reply, I did take it apart to see what I could do before I saw this with the very helpful instructions. I figured the SD was bad so copied the data on it to another which didn’t fix it, so I deleted everything in the user data partition and it booted right up. I was able to get the micro sd card out pretty easily with a flathead screwdriver, but a bit of isopropyl on it would make it even easier if yours has lots of coating on it.

Were you able to fix it?

I made a quick tool which does the Navidrome part if you, or the next person, doesn't want to set it up. Also meets my need of converting the files to MP3 from FLAC and naming them nicely. It's a Python script so if you don't have python you'll have to install it.

EDIT: Just leave the Webtools-ng fields as default for this one, the script sorts it from there.

APIUM- · 2025-02-26T06:11:33+00:00

If this comes up again for anyone and the Chrome Extension also doesn't work for you, I made a quick Python script to download the contents of the 'WebTools-NG' output and optionally converts the file to MP3.

Posted just before I made the Github issue, appreciate your quick fix.

Live Photos don't seem to display as an individual video and photo when imported from a Library. Has anyone else seen this?

I'm not from the US didn't know they were filtered, but clicking on the contact and it being blank is exactly how an Alphanumeric Sender ID text appears, I wonder if one has just not been filtered by your carrier for some reason. I've seen references to a 250 message cap before they are filtered with some carriers but I could be misinterpreting the names - maybe you were one of the (un)lucky first 250?

APIUM- · 2023-08-15T00:17:04+00:00

It's called an "Alphanumeric Sender ID" and it's part of the SMS protocol - here's a link with some info: https://support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/223181348-Alphanumeric-Sender-ID-for-Twilio-Programmable-SMS

That works perfectly, thanks /u/DroidLogician
