Tried to make a cube like @mohitbhoite.bsky.social but it was a bit of a fail. I think it need to go a lot heavier on the flux. I ended up having to really heat the brass rods and applying solder vs just dabbing a small spot of solder from the tip of the iron… also need to measure against a template

It took a little work - and a Google image search, but I tracked down the clamp @mohitbhoite.bsky.social was using in his video:

I also ordered a Machinists Angle Plates from eBay to attach it to… too

Roof top camera is now nicely wired - added in a POE powered hub. It works…. But I have to physically connect the Axis camera and wait for it to boot before attaching the Pi or else the camera complains about not having enough power

Looks like a driver took out a traffic pole at Farragut square. Good thing this happened overnight - that corner is packed during rush hour. We need more Bollards because we sure as hell aren’t getting better drivers or any enforcement!

Hey! I hacked together a little gadget for monitoring if the systems I contribute OpenMHz are up. It is built on @adafruit.com amazing MagTag board, which combines an e-paper display with an ESP32-S2.
