Me: I'll use that trick of a PCB with a cutout to help with the stencil and help alignment for the PCB stack up. Also me: Forgets to allow for a cutout for the middle boards. #SteveFail #PersonalEnvironmentSensor

Sure the @TheTileApp is great, but you know what's even cooler. An #Arduino Nano 33 you can program, with BLE, temperature, humidity, light, accelerometer, LEDs and (breath Steve, breath. ) and more, all on a key ring!. #PersonalEnvironmentSensor

#PersonalEnvironmentSensor. Still lots of work to do and things to sort out (not least the battery sandwich side of things) but it's looking good :-)

The LEDs, they work!!! Step 1: Tick. :-). Temperature and Humidity display from the #Arduino Nano 33 Sense's sensor. Paper diffuser makes the world of difference. #PersonalEnvironmentSensor

Me: I'll stick a #Particle Photon on the board, nice and reliable, easy to reprogram, more than enough GPIO's. Also Me: Na, let's make this a bit more compact, go with a ATTiny84. Also Me: Darn it! This would have been working hours ago with a Photon. .

Darn it, bricked my ATTiny84 on my new RS485 fan controller board, accidentally set it to external crystal oscillator rather than internal. Which is quicker, rework -> remove/replace, or build up a the 12V fuse resetter. I think rework with a hot air gun.

A bit of afternoon soldering fun with one of our new #Feather prototyping #ThingySticks - making a RS485 + display thingy for the #Particle #Boron to (hopefully) connect to my #EPEver solar charge controller.
