The very last @SuperHouseTV livestream for 2023 is about to start. Following @unexpectedmaker's lead I'm going to treat this as an AMA, so jump in the chat and say hi! https://t.co/D0IhsCY3QO

Will I burn down the factory on a livestream? That's always a strong possibility, but now that I have a 7.8kW SMT reflow oven the chances just got even better! Let's run a thermocouple through it and see if we can profile it. Starting in 15 minutes: https://t.co/rmOmqODbo1

Maker Faire came to Melbourne! It was huge, with hundreds of exhibits across multiple buildings. I bumped into Mitch, who showed me his boat autopilot and a yeast growth optimiser, and Samuel who linked a typewriter to a GPT chatbot. Pretty cool! https://t.co/hFoqETlqk4

No livestream tomorrow, because there's something even better happening: Maker Faire! If you're in Melbourne, come along and find me and say hi :-) But be warned: I don't look like my last livestream anymore. KratosMode deactivated. https://t.co/02iB10rqpB

Next livestream I'm going to talk about some of my recent personal experiences. Which is normal for me, I know, but this time it's with added .... hey, squirrel! https://t.co/U1Up75T9CW

My conveyor belt controller (ESP32 + touchscreen + motor drivers + sensors + CAN bus) PCBs are here. Let's assemble the first one on the @SuperHouseTV livestream and see if it works: https://t.co/OsrphNsuSY

Almost livestream time :-) I need to assemble some LCD modules for the https://t.co/Ezv4SAVgFL project and never seem to get around to it, so at 10am Melbourne time I'm going to make you all watch: https://t.co/zOUXhQxg8h

Who makes the @freetronics and @SuperHouseTV Arduino-compatible boards and packaging for me? On my next livestream I'm going to reveal the company I've been working with for 12 years, producing more than 1 million devices: https://t.co/U4WXaDRIVC

Because my appeal for a used pick-and-place machine worked out so well, let's try for something more ambitious! Do you know of a conveyor reflow oven in need of a new home? Something like a Neoden IN6 would be brilliant, or a classic T960 like in this pic. Hit me up!

Chaos in the lab! We have Andy, Astra, STEVE, and just because it's Halloween we may be joined by STEVE's evil twin. Come along and say hi
Come and watch me flounder around learning about FPGAs as @geekscape tries to explain the basics to me! Join us in the lab at 10am Melbourne time: https://t.co/85QkPgw4vV

Episode 45 is up! Allterco released a number of new home automation power control devices overnight, including the Shelly Pro 4PM. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pre-release unit to see what it can do: https://t.co/LbChkp5gOa

Livestream starting in 18 minutes! Let's see if I remember how to do this. Oh yeah, and I have a funky new Shelly that just arrived so perhaps we'll try turning it on :-) https://t.co/1TMjSNOGIC

Livestream in 20 minutes! What will I talk about today? Well ... I don't know. Hmmmm. Something techie, most likely. Maybe show a video of the latest wheelchair hacks with @ChrisFryer78? https://t.co/6so1HW2cJZ

The livestream about nothing: I'm back, baby! There are still tens of thousands of houses without power here in Melbourne, but we were lucky and got our power (and Internet) back yesterday. So the livestream goes on :-) Join me in one hour: https://t.co/kSgTissgLy

5 minutes to go: today's livestream will start with some mental health stuff (warning!) and then we'll finish this UT61e multimeter WiFi PCB. I promise. (Note: promise may have been made while holding my fingers crossed behind my back) https://t.co/R0W3rKP3zk
