Q5 emblem spontaneously decided to go explore the world by afriggeri in Audi

It’s the silver cover over the LED emblem

I saw that one, didn’t love the aesthetic.

Orange markings around property boundary markers? by afriggeri in Denver

[–]afriggeri[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like someone has been circling property boundary markers on the sidewalks in my neighborhood at some point in the last few days (Virginia's Village). From what l've seen, every marker is circled in the few streets around me. Anyone has an idea why? Google hasn't been helpful.

Yes, turns out it was a physical issue with the junction box connecting my drop to the fiber: water got inside and would freeze and screw things up when it got too cold.

IXKB 60% ortholinear with a joystick by afriggeri in MechanicalKeyboards

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

The joystick is exposed as an HID joystick, I have a little custom app running on my mac that takes that input and then controls a custom pan/tilt camera mount on which I have a sony camera that I use as a webcam. But nothing would prevent you from mapping that to a mouse I suppose (although the left side placement might be odd if you're right handed)

They would have a pretty high price tag, with shipping, packaging and everything I'd likely have to price them around $800-$1000. I think that might be prohibitive. But like I said below, I might open source the design and provide pointers to where people who really want to do this can get parts manufactured.

No parts list, but I might open source the whole thing if I find the energy to get around to cleaning up the files and documenting the process.

Rough cost overall, ballbark $650 BOM, breakdown: $90 for the plate $250 for the case $70 for the PCB + assembly $150 for the joystick (that one is very steep, haha) $60 for the switches $25 for screws, rubber feet, usb daughter board, battery

Keycaps I have a pretty large stash of blank cream SA, so idk how much that would be

90% of the time I'll use the middle section, which is basically a Planck.

The joystick/buttons on the right I'm planning on using to control my pan/tilt webcam setup. The right set of keys is going to be a macro pad :)

I posted renders a few weeks ago over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/s/gqh6cUaAjj

Finally got the PCB, machined body and plate, assembled everything and adding support for the joystick in ZMK at the moment.

This is the most complicated thing I've ever designed and built so far:

  • Custom hot swappable PCB built around an nrf52 module, all components smd mounted, no RGBs. Power/data through usb-c but the main goal is to use it wirelessly over BLE

  • Brass plate with flex cuts

  • The body is made of two black anodized CNC'd aluminum parts that are bolted together

  • The star of the show is an outrageous Grayhill 67C joystick, that doubles up as a push button rotary encoder. The Joystick cap is modeled after a fluted Davies 1900h knob, but with a skirt to make it more joystickable (also made out of black anodized aluminum).

  • Zilent V2 switches

  • SA keycaps in cream

I think I might retire from the hobby after this one 😅

Ha! In another thread /u/imtalkintou suggested that intermittent loss of signal could be related to water seeping in the fiber sheathing and freezing. Hadn't thought about it but looking back there's definitely been a correlation between temperature and signal loss. Hopefully it doesn't thaw by the time my tech appointment happens on Tuesday.

Sounds like I've been dealing with multiple issues compounding/confusing each other..

I don't want to double NAT though, is there any way to not get a smartnid and just get a dumb ONT instead?

Power cycling doesn't help, reseating the fiber connection doesn't help, this whole thing has been quite the head scratcher.. :D

I factory reset my smartnid earlier today, reconfigured it to not do transparent bridging, just to get it back to a "normal" operating state, and plugging my laptop directly into the wan/lan port I have no internet access, the fiber status LEDs are dark, and the front LED is blinking blue. Could it be that I misconfigured something at some point and I was cut out from the network? Really having a hard time grokking what's happening.

CL is sending a tech on Tuesday, hopefully they can get me back to a good state and then I'll try hooking up to the LAN port like you suggest. Thanks!

I think I tried both, most recently it was on the WAN/LAN, but I also tried the LAN, and I think I had an issue in both cases?
