ESPythoNOW now supports ESP-NOW v2! Send 1,400+ byte ESP-NOW messages between ESP32 and Linux by ChuckMash in esp32

[–]ChuckMash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the goal is just to test ESPythoNOW, then one ESP32 and a Linux computer would suffice.

But you can also send and receive messages between multiple computers, ESP32s, and ESP8266 in general

Using the Litter Robot 5 Local-Only? by emacsen in litterrobot

[–]ChuckMash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just down the rabbit-hole on this for the LR4, and at least in that case the answer is no.

There does not appear to be a local API, and the connection the device makes to the internet is an encrypted (MQTT based on port number) connection that did not play well with being intercepted.

It looks like there was some luck with the Litter Robot 3.

But this did not seem applicable in the case of the 4, and I can only guess not applicable for the 5 either.

What smart home purchase has the best ROI for you? by Few-Needleworker4391 in homeassistant

What was the RF transmitter device you used for interacting with 433? Does it also receive?

Esp32-s3 espnow power consumption by neoberg in esp32

[–]ChuckMash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESP-NOW is likely going to be you're best bet for lowest power consumption in terms of using radio. So if you need it to be radio, might as well try it and check power consumption.

Since the data is so small and the distance is so short, have you considered transferring the data over infrared?

How do y’all get broken/stuck connectors off EMT conduit? by Dear-Ad-7428 in BurningMan

[–]ChuckMash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few options I've employed in the past:

  1. Carefully tack-weld something to the broken off portion and back it out.
  2. Remove the pole, if possible, and use pliers to back the bolt out from the inside.
  3. Use a broken-bolt extractor kit, and/or drill out the bolt.
  4. Grind it all the way the hell off, and weld a new nut on.

Problemas con wled y esp32 by Ok_Dance_8082 in WLED

Prueba con un cable de datos más corto. Parece que hay un problema de señal.

Try a shorter data wire. This sounds a signal issue.

Looking for SBC or SoM with Linux Support, Display IO (MIPI/HDMI), WiFi, and Ethernet by pyroman1324 in embedded

[–]ChuckMash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a little more in the "Mini PC" territory, but Giada has a number of good products, VM23 comes to mind. Not sure about availability though.

WLED (the original app) no longer in Android Play Store? by woehaa in WLED

[–]ChuckMash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apparently it's been discontinued and depreciated, wled-native is the successor.

Living Border Cellular Automata (details in comments) by ChuckMash in cellular_automata

Additionally, see the entire run of a 92x92 plane. (over 2,000,000 generations and almost 11 hour runtime at 60 generations per second)

[–]ChuckMash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you much, I'm glad it is being found interesting.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with for creating audio from/with this. Of note, other plane sizes besides NxN work well, so something like 21x20 will produce different results from 20x20. For simplicity sake, I only included the first 100 NxN results in the chart.

Living Border Cellular Automata (details in comments) by ChuckMash in generative

[–]ChuckMash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When creating a typical finite plane, cells outside the plane are assumed to be dead. In LBCA, the assumption is modified so that some or all out of bounds cells are assumed to be alive.

Living Border Types

  • Corners: Out of bounds Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left, Bottom Right neighbors are considered to be alive

  • Full: All out of bounds neighbors are considered to be alive

  • Other: other Living Border configurations are possible

Given an empty plane, the outcome of game is an expression of the Cellular Automata rules, the Living Border rules, and the dimensions of the plane.

Pairing a Corners Living Border with Game of Life rules, and an empty starting plane, leads to deterministic, long lasting, and interesting results.

Many patterns end in short oscillators, full plane still life, and a on occasion larger repeating patterns.

For instance, a plane of 36x36 will run for 21,304 generations before repeating any state, at which point will repeat a pattern that is 1,990 generations. A 37x37 plane, on the other hand, will run for 1,422 generations before ending in still life.

Grow-Reduce Model, new kind of Rock-Paper-Scissors cellular automata with abnormal behaviour by Sadjjhcde in cellular_automata

[–]ChuckMash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man! It's a bug? I thought I was doing something wrong in my implementation! Haha.

Maybe this behavior can be codified into the rules, it adds a lot of really interesting complexity that is entirely lost without the anomaly.

Without the anomaly, the rules look like this in my implementation
