This board is also good for GHI discussing new modules with community maybe.
The only negative thing is someone reading something about the module while in design stage and then assuming this is how it is on production module. Slight chance but can cause a lot of headache.
My preference would be to have the board focus on the actual building of modules rather than the discussion of new modules.
There is already the Gadgeteer board, News, and the Insider for discussion new and/or potential GHI products.
Well, my 2c would be that if you donât want folks making assumptions, it might be better to restrict those discussions to the Insiders forumâŚanother incentive for folks to ramp up their points and join the program.
I like the idea, a great place to talk about some of the design thoughts when youâre putting a module or a code design together. The intricacies of driver install bundling would be a good example of something specific that builders would be interested in (others less so)
yeah plenty of bushfire awareness going on in TV land at the moment, they are hyping it up big time. Forcasting 40deg C for our area in Sydney today so its going to be a scorcher. Winds too which is why everyones freaking.
the worst thing - our house is technically in a bushfire zone. in ~92 there was a fire in Sydney that went from Menai and crossed the Woronora river, and then destroyed homes in our street and the next plus many in Como area. The people who built our house were literally taking possession from the builder the day of the fire and were scared they would only be picking up keys and would not have a house to go to. Luckily most of the houses in our end of the cul-de-sac were spared or only had fences destroyed/minor outside damage. None of this has crossed my mind until just now NOT
@ Brett, you lucky man. Iâve been stuck at -7 to -11 C here for 2 weeks. I hate winter. I would prefer the 40 C. We usually get a day or two each summer at 40 C and will have a week or two where we get above 35 C every day. I like summer.
43.1 deg C showing on the weather station at my place (and still climbing!). Itâs 30 indoors - and unfortunately we have had an air conditioner failure about a month ago and the guys arenât scheduled to come fix it later this week/early next. So far the fire danger hasnât had any major impact in the city, but there are a few fires in the area - theyâre saying these are the worst conditions to hit NSW for bushfires in decades.
@ pintsize, right about now Iâd appreciate some of that -7
@ Architect, Iâm in Indiana, USA. Thankfully our cold streak should end with us going above 0 C today and up to about 10 C by the end of the week, a virtual heat-wave!
And if anyone wonders how this applies to Gadgeteer, I have built a partial weather-station for my house with Gadgeteer stuff. I want to get a real anemometer module and a barometer module to finish it, then maybe Iâll make it an open feed (not because anyone would use the open feed, just because I can).
After 11pm and still over 32c outside (and barely cooler inside). Fires are burning pretty badly in some areas of the state but so far we havenât seen too much impact on homes
I remember coming out of the CBA technical building in Sydney in December 2005 - was like a thermo oven - Oz in summer is far too hotâŚ
Good to hear no dramas for you and hopefully it stays that way.
New day, 8am and only 22.8dec now thanks to a big southerly change that came through well after midnight (1:45am when the wind woke me). That plus the excellent work the rural fire service and volunteers have done has dropped all the fires out of the âEmergency Warningâ category to âWatch and Actâ.
Armidale has been relatively quiet - theyâre north and a bit west of Sydney, and largely the worst activity has been south to south-west. They have several fires in the area but all are at the lower, âadviceâ level. Interesting how the information age changes even the bush fire alert availability Fires Near Me
As for using Fez for cooling, well, if only. The problem in my AC is a gas leak, so it doesnât cool at all; if it had been anything else I would have either found a way to avoid that or they would have been able to fix it on first visit. Must get on the phone to them today to make sure they know I spent the day in the heat yesterday so they get off their butts to come here quicker - but this time of year is hard because thereâs lots of people on holidays etc so itâs tough on everyone to schedule tradiesâŚ
Anyway, this has strayed a little from @ Devhammerâs original topic. Yeah, lets have a module builders forum !
