Use a little spoon NOT a knifeGet your fingers underneath the membranePreparing the ribs, getting the membrane off.
This time I used a rub with the following ingredients: Seasalt, garlic, brown sugar, mustard seeds, paprica, cilantroseeds, black pepper, red pepper, oregano, thyme and cumin.
Doing a simple 3-2-1 smoke session, so .. what to do in dose 6 hours?
Lets make something using a Sense hat and Python. Same HAT I used for my xmas ornament thingy in our tree.
Generate a large maze (80×80 for now)
Paint the maze using colors on the SenseHat
Read joystick movement and scroll the maze accordingly, keeping the player in the middle
Now I have to paint my ribs with BBQ sauce, and leave it in the smoker for yet another hour. (Nice glazing)
Next steps for the maze:
Use a better way to generate (reverse backtracking as I made for my other maze thing)
Not posted in the past, new version using ESPHOME and a m5stickc
Previous version using a ESP12
A “watch” with core and environment temperature of my smoker with a alarm, and button for timers.

For above i used sin/cos functions 2:3, which creates LissajousĀ figures. See: https://www.henriaanstoot.nl/1992/01/01/oscilloscope-graphics-using-a-amiga-bonus-vectrex/
3 battery operated buttons (no wires needed) to control my shelly dimmer at the dinner table.
left button on, middle steps per 20% and 3rd button off. (This cheapass button only sends ON commands)
I’ve written about General Instrument AY-3-8910 before, here is some work I did today.
This sound chip i wanted to implement in my amiga, and now it’s a alternative for my 6502 computer. ( As an alternative setup for the SID chip. ) Btw this is the same kind of chip used in the Atari ST.
Above a Kicad drawing I made today, a little different from my design from the 90’s.
Below a movie clip I recorded today. Running a test setup using an Arduino nano and a sdcard reader. The sound is bad, this is due to clipping and the absence of multiple resistors and capacitors. Music is a register dump from a YM music file. Amplifier is a bare LM386.
UPDATE: 20240225
I don’t like tying those three outputs together, and amplifying those.
So I’m going to use a LM324 i’ve got left from my 8085 interface, and make a 3-channel amplifier.
It has an EPROM with Wozmon and Basic for now. I have to redo the address decoder, but I like the simple serial interface by Geoffrey. (I hate the PIC18F15Q41, made by Microchip, but still the best minimal option .. for now)
Probably the last time i’ve used a pic was in 1998
The HuskyLens is an easy-to-use AI machine vision sensor. It is equipped with multiple functions such as:
Face recognition
Object tracking
Object recognition
Line trace
Color recognition
Tag recognition (QR code).
Via the UART / I2C port you can among others: boards connect:
Arduino
micro:bit
Raspberry Pi
Steps to take: Press Face detection, when a cross in a square is displayed, press the button on your HuskyLens
Set your husky protocol to I2C in the settings.
Minimal Code needed

Some AI generated art I made – electronic components being sucked into a black hole.
This is NOT a post about the pi-hole project. Of which I apparantly never posted my setup.
I needed an extra PI for a project, and I always try to keep one spare. But they are always gone, in use, missing .. whatever.
So I canĀ“t work on this project right now, so lets rant about disappearing stuff
Like they are being sucked up in another dimension .. gone. WHERE ARE THEY?!?
How to keep track of them?
Any suggestions?
I used to have a sheet, but I often forget to keep track. Do I use a MAC address scan on my switches? First 3 parts of the Mac address are vendor specific.
So far i’ve found : Octopi, Beerbrew computer, Retro Arcade, Picore, Nodered, Domoticz 433toMqtt, Ledserver, Lasercutter-etch-a-sketch, mobile LMS music server, Pressure Lab AP, Escape Game AP (3 of them), one unused Raspberry zero (without Wifi), One at my old work, one broke, Kodi+Netflix,Ansible project, found another one .. Jumanji/Dashticz/NoderedDashboard demo (with screen) WHERE THE F are the rest of them? (Sdcards with temporary projects on them 29, I need to combine project on those cards. I’ve got a 64Gb card holding a Rpi OS and only a 1K python script!)
And Arduino’s are even worse … they are all over the place. Those are probably 100+ (ESP32, 8266, Nano’s, Mega, M5Stack and alikes)
I know i have many temporary projects, but I keep most things organized in my projects containers.
One of the rows with Ikea containers, a few for bigger projects and now i’m using the plastic boxes you get when you order chinese or thai.
