Cage hasp

  • Post date 2025-02-11

We have a cage for rabbits that we has small plastic hasps that somehow have a tendency to disappear. So on request from my wife I created a handful new ones. Original (white) vs. 3d-printed (green) After a couple of minutes in Fusion360, and 15 minutes in the printer we had a result, and it worked as well, if not better, than the original. Fusion [...]

Boxy light sign

  • Post date 2025-02-09
  • Categories Experiments
For one of my children I created a small sign that said Roblox and I really liked the aesthetics of it so I created a larger version with built in light. From the start I maximized the size of the letters according to the printable volume on my 3d-printer. But the printing took ages, and it was close to 400g material per letter so I scaled it down [...]

While trying to get face recognition with Compreface working together with a Nvidia graphics card I got the error: Attempting to run nvidia-container-runtime returns nvidia-container-cli.ldconfig value /usr/sbin/ldconfig is not host-relative (does not start with a '@') error  Easy solved by running the following command as root nvidia-ctk config [...]

Dropped ceiling attachments

In our office we have a suspended ceiling that we wanted to attach stuff to. Firstly we wanted a curtain rod to partition off a bit of the open plan. And later two small lights for a disco ball! First version, intended for curtain rod The first version worked quite well for the curtain rod, a couple of the small hooks got broken off but I made plenty [...]

Atari ST inspired keyboard

After three [1, 2, 3] Ursa inspired keyboards it was time to try to do something different. For a while now I've seen several keyboards inspired by the original C64 design and colours, but I wasn't a Commodore guy, I had an Atari STe when I was a kid. The first ideas and sketches started to form properly around the start of the year, but it would [...]

Simple WiFi monitor with ESP32

  • Post date 2024-03-24
  • Categories Experiments
To be able to measure the Wifi quality over time I created a small program for ESP32, probably works for ESP8266 also, that every five minutes reports the ping RTT to the local gateway and the RSSI to the connected AP. The idea is to get a handful cheap ESP32 boards and litter them around the house and send the data to influx-db to be able to create [...]

Arduino – The port doesn’t exist

  • Post date 2024-02-24
  • Categories Random
I have a handful of cheap ESP32 development boards, and some expensive, that all sometimes gives me the error A fatal error occurred: Could not open COM6, the port doesn't exist. But I have found a workaround. The simplest way I found is to start with opening the Serial Monitor (in Arduino IDE) to see the status of the com-port easily. Then unplug [...]

Running CrashPlan on Truenas Core

  • Post date 2024-01-18
  • Categories Random
My home server runs Truenas Core, a natural choice since I've been partial towards BSD since I accidentally overwrote my main disk with OpenBSD back in the 90s. To get some ease of mind I want to back up photos and other important files and CrashPlan is (was when I looked last time) the only cloud backup service that ran on Linux and mounted disks [...]

Quick and dirty phone stand

For quite a while I have been annoyed that I didn't have a phone stand for my phone that would charge it wireless. But then I remembered that I had an old wireless charger that I didn't use any more. The evolution of the stand The first crude version had a design flaw, I had not accounted for the precise positioning needed for the wireless charger [...]

I have a water radiator on my top floor mounted in a small niche, so small that there is only about 1cm of space between the air-valve and the wall. The problem has been that I since I moved here 10 years ago have been looking for something that would fit so I could air out the radiator. But it seems like the closest I found was some image of one. [...]
