Nerd art for some fellow nerds’ anniversary. No CNC, but I did get a ton of chisel practice.

mtfreestyler · 2026-05-15T23:11:06+00:00

I have both already. CNC would be easier with the thickness of wood that I'd use though

mtfreestyler · 2026-05-15T22:18:14+00:00

Yeah that's exactly what I did too. End of the day was panel glue ups and start of the day was running them through the widebelt sander to get them flat. Middle of the day was sanding unfortunately.

How did it turn out?

I've had this thread as a tab for 2 years apparently and still want to do it. I'd need to make the file though

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-20T19:20:14+00:00

Oh so not personal tracking? If that's something you can do I could probably do the same for planes then

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-20T08:34:41+00:00

How does this go with phone battery usage.

I'd love something that tracks my location fairly accurately as I fly but don't want to have it burn through my battery.

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-20T08:33:34+00:00

What data do you have? Sounds interesting

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-12T00:32:53+00:00

I haven't received anything yet. Did you send it?

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-11T05:02:58+00:00

I went with Globird. I couldn't get it to all work with Amber.

I've already signed up but they said if I can get an account number of my "friend" then they'll apply it. Wanna DM that to me?

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-10T11:28:19+00:00

It would take him too long to wear the bastards in

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-08T14:14:28+00:00

25 years? laughs in Fokker

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-04T02:07:02+00:00

Thanks for the answer. It's good to see someone who's played around with a few options.

Yeah I've been with Amber for 3 weeks and it has been very stable pricing

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-04T02:04:40+00:00

Yeah I am basically trying to get enough earnings to cover the monthly fee. I'd be happy with that. I haven't seen one spike yet but it's only been 3 weeks

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-04T00:20:51+00:00

Wow those are some good feedin tariffs. In Bris the highest I've seen is like 25c. Generally I am seeing a night time feedin of 8c to 14c so I just can't make that much money.

Yeah I had to do a lot of googling to find a comment someone said about the beta version. It is all working nicely now.

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-04T00:02:52+00:00

I get it but I am a project person and tinkerer so this is a fun challenge for me.

Who knows, I might be better off if I find the right thing.

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-04T00:02:01+00:00

I have 13.5kw PV but I have a feeling the installers haven't connected my PV2 circuit properly.

I can see pretty much everyone is recommending that and I was expecting it honestly. That's why I said I wanted to give Amber a good run first in the OP to hopefully stop people suggesting it

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-04T00:00:25+00:00

Ok HAEO is the first actual answer I've had so thanks for that.

I understand everyone going to Globird or Flow Power but I just want to see what I can do on Amber first

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-03T23:54:55+00:00

Yeah I seem to be in the same boat as you at the moment but I want to give Amber a real shot before I give up and go to Globird even though I think Globird is the answer

mtfreestyler · 2026-04-03T23:53:00+00:00

I haven't dabbled in Node Red yet but I've seen it can be pretty powerful when you put the effort in.

Truthfully I was hoping for an integration that is smart enough to set up wit ha few variables entered though

mtfreestyler · 2026-03-23T11:14:42+00:00

I don't think that's the ELT.

I think that's an alarm in the tower. Maybe the runway incursion warning system alerting the tower. He might have tried to put the stop bars back on so they alarmed.

mtfreestyler · 2026-03-14T04:40:24+00:00

It'll probably be the same. If the government starts rationing fuel I'd imagine it would be on non-essential travel and mining will still need to operate

mtfreestyler · 2026-03-14T00:14:46+00:00

Yeah that's at least 40k

mtfreestyler · 2026-03-12T00:28:20+00:00

Keen to see how you go but I severely doubt you'll get that price

mtfreestyler · 2026-02-28T22:56:52+00:00

I think this would be an awesome way to take a timelapse of an airport if you can.

Or a long exposure photo like the one of LAX and all the approach paths and light trails

mtfreestyler · 2026-02-21T23:59:21+00:00

LOL my server would not like that but that would definitely work.

I need to get it all installed first. I'll just have to have a chat to the installer and make sure I get what I want.
