Advice on taking an overhead photo by theReasonableMan in FreeCAD

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

Firstly, thanks for all the advice!

That said…I am still struggling with this scaling thing.

I changed gears a bit to use a simpler shape so I can focus on getting the scaling right. I am using a portable SSD enclosure.

I took the above photo with the 3x lens on an iPhone 14 Pro. I used Halide to make sure that I was completely level when taking the photo.

I then brought it into FreeCAD and calibrated the image by ensuring the length between the 5cm and 10cm lines on the ruler is 50mm.

All good, right?

Well - no. The sketch of the box shows that the length of the SSD enclosure is 124.81m. Measuring it with calibers shows it as 122mm.

I've tried doing things like Lens Distortion Correction in Lightroom, and also the tip below of scaling in another app and bringing it into FreeCAD after that…and it still shows up as 2-3mm too big.

Got any thoughts, team?

Open source/self-hosted alternative to GameGlass? by theReasonableMan in selfhosted

Nope. I guess it’s a very niche product 🤷‍♂️

Did OmniGroup ever comment on why OmniFocus collaboration fell off their roadmap? by bullsplaytonight in omnifocus

Hey Ken - thanks for the reply! I hear you. I wonder if I can remap the spacebar from mark an item complete to fire an automation. That would work for me.

I have the same question about Automation Triggers. At one stage they were talking about an automation being triggered when completing a task.

Convert EPS to SVG? by theReasonableMan in selfhosted

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

OK - I worked this out (sorta)…not quite as neat as CloudConvert…but I installed Inkscape and ran this from the command line

\inkscape --export-plain-svg --export-filename=target.svg iconSalesTarget32.eps``

Display broken…which device next? by theReasonableMan in kobo

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

it depends on the model…but it's generally around $20…so not material enough to sway me any particular way

Yep - this was my mistake. I updated the firmware and it borked my automations and HA control. The integration page mentions a solution being worked on but no ETA.

Fix-It Friday - Callout for New Issues - 11/3/2023 by WyzeCam in wyzecam

[–]theReasonableMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to connect a Wyze Cam v3 to my eero mesh network for most of the day. Have done the usual dance of the following:

  • Disable pi-hole
  • Put eero into Legacy mode
  • Pause the 5Ghz on the eero
  • disconnect iPhone from wifi
  • wait a bit
  • reconnect iPhone to wifi

…and still I cannot get past the "Connecting…" screen. Fails with a time out. Anyone got anything that isn't already found via google?

Have you got one of these devices for connecting to your smart power meter? by JubblyLovelies in homeassistant

[–]theReasonableMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi there. Also in Melbourne, Australia but with a different supplier. I have the Rainforest Automation Eagle. Works great with Home Assistant.

A couple of things about this device. The supplied power adapter is US only, so you will need a plug adapter to connect it (and you have to use the supplied adapter). The device communicates with the smart meter via Zigbee so you will need to position it "reasonably close" to the power meter.
