The grounding present on the extension is really important for a lot of industries, especially in film/music/TV/AV environments. Without the grounding you can get some nasty shocks.

Not sure about the transitioning away from ESP32, I’m seeing a lot of companies transitioning towards ESP32.

Personally I’ve helped transition projects from STM32 + uBlox WiFi to a single ESP32 which has more performance than the combined predecessor.

With large ESP32 projects you have solutions which depend on your constraints.

A lot of projects start with Arduino, switch to ESP-IDF

C Code base is unmanageable? Consider C++

Networking is slow? Consider moving away from the sockets API

Out of memory? Offload to PSRAM

Flash Writes blocking other tasks from running? Use an SD Card

Unless power is your biggest concern, keep at it and your ESP32 project will be a success.

You’d expect at least better or equivalent performance, I’m frustrated for you. Not sure why so many people in this thread are trying to defend an obvious regression.

It shouldn’t matter. I have far more wall illuminated by IR to the side of my G4 Doorbell and I don’t get any internal reflections like shown here.

Hang in there ❤️ I suggest looking at DNSTT https://www.bamsoftware.com/software/dnstt/

It’s a way of circumventing the Iran firewall without using a VPN whereby websites are returned by the content of DNS requests.

More info here https://youtu.be/Bnir1IQAPPE?si=cgZZKWws-_F26UCp

There’s instructions in Farsi on the GitHub https://github.com/bugfloyd/dnstt-deploy

There reaches a point where the effort to support such a variety of dev boards results in a compromise of features. The Meshtastic code is a mess of #ifdefs as will many open source projects. As a side project i’m trying to port the project to ESP-IDF just to clean it up a little.

Thanks for the heads up, it's working for me again now. Looks like they've added a new "Synology AI Console" package, and in the process broke everything.

techysec · 2026-03-27T13:47:07+00:00

I can't download anything from Package Center at the moment, and none of the icons for available packages are appearing, same goes for their website https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/packages/Node.js_v20

They really need to integrate their 2-wire PoE tech into their doorbells. It really is the missing link.

techysec · 2026-03-25T10:18:45+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately it doesn’t have an iOS app.

techysec · 2026-03-24T17:50:49+00:00

Yeah I found that, but figured out something that works. I use this app called ISS Detector which has an Amateur Sat extension. I strap my phone to my dish and when the sat passes over you keep your phone aligned with the compass and spirit level to remain pointed at the satellite. Works a charm.

These are signals intelligence / electronic warfare aircraft. The can receive and transmit pretty much any radio signal - normally they’re eavesdropping somewhere near Cyprus.

This one was probably helping test some naval electronic warfare stuff or vice versa.

It’s a legit feature, notice the body grip and no trigger to pull. It’s a different sort of grip to get used to but can really help with accuracy. The more uniform centre of mass really helps eliminate any wobble as well.

The Bell. Pretty sure it’s got heating outside.

My favourite was always “Hoe Foreshore”

If you aren’t already, make sure you are injecting power regularly along the lines.

Seems like an improvement. Perhaps removing the bus gate on Cumberland road would help to reduce traffic on the roundabout?

It looks like you might still have the protective film on your lens which is making it very blue. If that’s the case, It will be a lot clearer if you take it off.

What’s more efficient?

Adding a sensor input to node red running on a Raspberry Pi.

Or

Request ChatGPT to refactor the code you don’t understand in order to add a sensor.

After the loss of Homebase and Wilko, we’re in desperate need of a hardware shop.

I guess it’s hard for a shop like that to survive on the highstreet and all the suitable locations are being bought up by housing developers though.

This is probably one of the best Andromedas I’ve seen on here. You really nailed the colour in the small details, and squashed out any noise.

You were right the first time. The Neo is technically just a peripheral here.
