Using USB-PD @12V to get more than 3A 5V
  • You can buy of the shelf USB pd trigger boards that request 12v (some can be configured to receive other voltages as well).

    Use a buck converter to step it down to 5v. I'd suggest buying these instead of building them yourself.

  • Michigan moves to adopt early voting; Republicans say efforts go too far - BridgeDetroit
  • I recently moved to Michigan from Colorado. I wish Michigan would adopt mail in voting. It was extremely convenient to receive my ballot in the mail, complete it in the comfort of my home and mail it back or drop it off. They had a tracking system so that I can confirm that my ballot was accepted (or not). And if it wasn't for whatever reason, I could follow up on it, or even vote in person.

    This is good news regardless, at least I'll have a few days to get to the polls.

  • Whats the latest personal project youre working on?
  • I recently did a similar project. I have an old Chumby One device. I wrote a simple app that renders the time and date and outdoor temp and humidity. It receives the weather data over mqtt from rtl_433 running on an old wireless router with a USB sdr dongle.

    It writes the image directly to the framebuffer /dev/fb0

    I cross compiled for armv5te-unknown-linux-musleabi and it works great. Hard to get much running on 64mb of ram these days.

    I hope to get the source up on GitHub when I get some time.

  • If we want this to work out make content do not just lurk
  • Same here. I'd often type out a comment just to delete it with the assumption that I'll get downvoted or that it'll start a comment chain of arguing.

    It's been nice to see other's perspectives on this.

    So far the culture on Lemmy has been so much more positive. Maybe this is just a side effect of eager early adopters using the platform.
