New meds keeping me awake, not getting any sleep.
Today I went to bed at 5AM and still woke up in time for work.
I think the deep sleep I had over the weekend helps.
My KVM failed again, I reflashed it again. I wonder if the arduino work is sending some stray signals to the KVM.
I did move my main PC to another port that is not a management port for the KVM.

The dev version of my message box is done.
You know what, they work.!!!
I am actually putting together a production 3rd one. Realistically, this may be Gen 4 plus version. The 3D printer is printing a test model I am looking at for the Gen4 message box.
Couple new things looking at, a new 3D printer, I think I have outgrown what I got.
Also doing affiliate links for side income.
Final note, we put away Christmas decorations this year. Snowman is left because we want to repair the lights.
That is the next project, probably before gen 4 message box.

Man I rested long time today. Went to bed at 2:30AM and woke up at 1PM. Incredible sleep.
Didn’t have much time to do workout today, but I got time to work on some financial stuff with my sister and some 3D printing stuff with my son.
I think I got the final cover plate for my project dev box.
I wanted to finish it but Amazon did not deliver what I needed. A step drill bit to make a hole in my project.

Playing around with strings in C is painful.
Am rusty, been doing Python for a while now and it is getting confusing.
The physical part of dev phase of my project is nearly done. What that means is that I have a platform to run code that will translate correctly to when it is physically changed.

After yesterday, I admit my body hurts. I need time to heal.
Sounds like an excuse, maybe it is, but I am sore.
As for my projects, I got a lot of stuff going, I tried to use a screw on one of the standoffs and it broke. I tested it again on another one I had, it too broke. I came to the conclusion you have to go all the way through to the front to mount these.
Another thing I did was patch my Linux boxes, and one of the patches broke my UniFi controller. I thought it was a corrupt database, it ended up being an incompatible java.

Did 30 minutes on the elliptical machine today, haven’t done something like that for a while, certainly used a new set of muscles.
Good news is I am almost final with my dev prototype. More pics tomorrow, it is still printing the bottom. Also need a few more screws that I do not have.

Year is moving along, yesterday was Three Kings and a time we take down decorations. Most of the decorations are down, just the gutters.
I did get my steps in for the first time this year, 10k steps and 10 floors.
Furthermore my message box project is moving along quite nicely. Note that this is the development prototype. Tried black filament on this one.
Printing the bottom part overnight. Will get a stable box tomorrow.

I had this for a while now, not functional.
Note the raspberry pi, it had a relay connected to it with an Arduino Nano.
I just went straight ESP8266, ESP-01 no less
It works, can go in to production immediately.
Hit the gym, did 30 min cardio.

Couple of the little electronic things I am working on
Got some lights ESP relay, my message box dev unit is coming together, and a new way to boot off of an iso.
Gonna be fun, but this is a week of real work. Going to get a taste of a relatively normal schedule.

Got some relays today and need to program some ESP-01 for it
Need to make sure your orient the ESP-01 correctly.
Anyway it works.
Couple other notable maker things, I started 3D printing a development case for my GEN4 message board.
Christmas decorations are down as well.
Just pushups and situps.
