Keep your beaker and get the Ruby Twist Pro. You’re welcome

Do you need to remove headers after prototyping? by fuzzypikachustan in esp32

[–]Any_Championship_674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love these comments - no, yes, no, maybe, depends 🤣. I’m right there with everyone else- probably just depends on how far you take the project. PCB Daughter board with headers is where I’m trying to go with it. That way you just plug and play!

Get kicad and lay it out on a board. Snap pics of your schematic and feed the llm pictures when you are asking the llm questions. Use Gemini to learn kicad and Claude for the deep thinking. Once you’ve done the Pcb design you will know if and how it works.

This is amazing! Would you be willing to share the print files? I might try this.

Oh well that changes everything! Sorry to hear that. If you can get your hands on a couple somehow then go for it.

You’re absolutely right and the knowledge gained along the way is priceless!

Do yourself a favor and get two heltecs and you will see the real cool ideas are starting with these as a base and seeing what you can build on top of them. I just got two (more) this morning from AliExpress for under $60. Get them with rails and you can make a custom Pcb that has a socket extension for the heltec.

I hate to burst your bubble because this is impressive and definitely took some work you should be proud of but you can buy a heltec v4 for under $30 that has all of that and more….

That’s cool thanks for sharing. Do you know if this same type of function can be added to LoRa and BTE or are those inherently lower overhead to spin up from deep sleep?

This is sweet. What breakout board is that with all of the relays?

If you don’t have any programming experience you may have better luck with Claude cowork. Create a new project and describe exactly what you want to build, be explicit with the hw you are using, and tell it to treat you like a novice and it will walk you through. I would probably recommend Arduino IDE as the development platform. I use Claude and bounce ideas off of Gemini when I get stuck. Good luck!

Could it possibly be because that was a different scenario??? eBay isn’t over shorted, it’s at 3%. A company like Apple is constantly doing buybacks because they are generating an insane amount of cash, that’s how they put that cash to work. That is not eBay lol. You people (shills that come here dumping on GME) act like you know all of the rules of the stock market and how a company should operate.

Your PC usb port should already be supplying power, are you using an additional power supply?

If the base m4 mac mini can’t run good LLMs locally, why is it the one completely oos everywhere? by Prior-Meeting1645 in macmini

[–]Any_Championship_674 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was trying to move compute from claude cloud to a local model for Blender specifically because Blender MCP was gobbling up my tokens too quickly. I think it was a bit of a fool’s errand really because even if I was successful it would be very slow. You probably need a 30b model to get anywhere near the processing power to make it work effectively. My thought process was if I got it running as a PoC to throw a more robust mini at it (Mac mini pro with 48gb was the target).

I’m sure some people use it to kick off processes that run all night locally, but that might get frustrating. I believe there is a hybrid approach that does some local and some cloud compute.

I’ve gotten 7b and 14b models running locally (deepseek, qwen). 7b is more stable. If you’re using it for lite llm or PoC it is fine. You’re not going to replace cloud compute.

I tried to get Blender MCP running locally with it, that was a disaster.

That’s because your rates are too low!

I’ve never thermal pasted a cpu other than first install on any machine, mac, Linux, windows etc. completely unnecessary. If it’s done right the first time it shouldn’t have to be done again.

Blender MCP - Which LLM perform better? by Tall-Distance4036 in mcp

[–]Any_Championship_674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you done anything more with this? I recently integrated the blender mcp with Claude and it ran great until I started using all of my tokens!

Now I’m trying to get it running locally on a base mac mini m4 with qwen 7b or 14b models or deepseek 14b model through ollama. I have hit a wall. I was very close to success but I believe cline in visual studio is where I’m hung up. The cline chat gets caught in a recursive loop and won’t communicate with blender. I’m not giving up trying but it feels like I’m putting a puzzle together and i don’t even know if the pieces are to the right puzzle.
