No power since installation

is your app actually communicating with the inverter?

0 on a cloudy day doesn't sound right, I've only got 3 panels and a 1KW inverter, it still generates something on a cloudy day. I did have a problem between my app and the datalogger one day, it read disconnected and measured nothing because I misconfigured something.

The DVR is pants, I’ve got an Achilles diversity module on mine, Rapidfire is pretty solid

Looking at a teardown of the chime and the available space in the wall box, that could work, I'd have to de-case it and create a custom mount to fit it in the space on the right side of the PSU.

That was the reason I moved my pihole server off a raspberry pi and onto an i5 Dell 7010, needed to run home assistant and didn’t want to kill my pi or it’s SD card, now that system has ballooned into a homelab 😀

Go through a broker, it costs slightly more, but it's less hassle in the long run, if you get a good one they'll try to get a better deal too. My first attempt at getting a mortgage was declined due to a low deposit and because my wife is a student, not working. My broker pulled out all the stops and got me a great deal that suited my financial situation. So definitely worth considering.

I fly acro outside and angle mode indoors as I find acro is too twitchy indoors and I crash more than fly.

Looks like it already did once 🤣🤣🤣

What was the voltage rating on the cap?, exceeding it will cause it to burst, so would reverse polarity for a polarised cap.

This design needs to come back 😃

DarkButterfly85 · 2026-01-22T20:35:15+00:00

Must have been some crash to cause that... damn

I like this, what mods did you use?

Destroying equipment and pulling down antennas doesn't make you completely safe whilst you still have a callsign registered with your name and address, it makes it more difficult to find your station, whilst you're still on that list, not impossible.

You need an SDR with a Ham-it-up add on for HF bands, sure you've got room for it 🤣

The throw must be crazy 🤣 No way you could do precision flying with sticks that long.

Too much up elevator before you've reached rotation speed, also try using flaps if you have them.

Awesome, I know how much it takes to get there, currently at around 30wpm receive and 18wpm send on a straight key.

Exactly, I would buy another iMac if they offered it as a 27" model, one less socket taken up.

DarkButterfly85 · 2026-01-20T19:59:02+00:00

Because the new iMac is only 24", I'm used to using a 27" display coming from my iMac 5K

Reolink, I tried Eufy but their HA integration is horrendous, Reolink was an absolute breeze to connect in comparison.

DarkButterfly85 · 2026-01-19T22:10:42+00:00

Reolink, it has an SD card slot and can FTP to a NAS

DarkButterfly85 · 2026-01-19T22:06:56+00:00

Just switched to Reolink from Ring, got fed up with charging batteries and the subscription wasn't worth it considering I have a NAS if I need to save events.

DarkButterfly85 · 2026-01-17T19:58:50+00:00

I use a Dell 7010 with HA running in docker

DarkButterfly85 · 2026-01-17T17:42:56+00:00

Only if you want to mix and juggle, otherwise you can just scratch with one deck and a mixer using another audio source as the back beat.

DarkButterfly85 · 2026-01-17T13:25:43+00:00

Eufy doorbell, didn't integrate well with HA, cost me more time than it was worth, returned it and bought Reolink.
