And of course, when everything was ready for the final integration test, the Lego motor broke down. 🫠

Disassembled everything and checked all cables, but it’s definitely the motor. The second one that broke, to be precise. Gud Lego kwalitee. 👌

I’m finally done with the new software. 873 ~~beautiful~~ lines of c/c++.

In forecast mode (FCS), the turbine rotates according to the predicted wind speed (it also shows the forecast for the next 6h). In timer mode, it rotates at full speed for ~1h.

It also displays the current temperature/humidity as measured by the white DHT sensor.

Most pixels are handcrafted and there are some "clever" solutions for a few problems.

But all in all, I'm so glad to be writing Python most of the time.

I am/was not a big fan of AI but thank's to @mitsuhiko's article about his usage of AI, I gave it a shot. An man, did it help me a lot. The documentation of many of the Arduino libs is not very good (compared to Python standards), but ChatGPT4 (via 🦆 AI Chat) understood my questions and its code suggestions realy helped a lot.

However, the e-paper display has been broken for more than a year now, the WiFi code stopped working even before that and the whole set was getting dusty.

So I took it back home, cleaned it and started to fix the code. I never programmed a micro computer and my C/C++ skills are rusty at best.

But with @zeratul2099's help, I quickly learned how this stuff works. It was a great feeling to light up an LED via a button. And it felt even better when I got the display to actually show something.

A few years ago, we bought the #LEGO 10268 Vestas wind turbine for work. @zeratul2099 put together a circuit board with an ESP32, with which we can control the motor according to the local wind forecast. We also added some lights and other extras. Here are some photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/188984025@N02/albums/72157714914817786

My brother is raising funds for establishing a partnership between Luckau (Wendland), Lower Saxony, Germany and Faléa, Mali. Most of the expenses are already covered but they need some extra money for the initial trip to Africa.

You may not like #GitLab and the way pipelines are defined there. But I had exactly zero problems with broken or malicius CI actions I imported from somewhere.

I also think that declarative script blocks with bash commands are _a lot_ easier to read than the #GitHub actions import jungle.

(I'm aware that GL has imports and components, too, and that copy/pasting cmds is not the last word in wisdom, either)

🎉 🎉 🎉 #TypedSettings 24.6.0 is out!

It drops support for Python 3.8 and officially adds support for 3.13 (but old versions work fine, too). Also fixed a few issues.

Now that dependency groups for dev dependencies are supported, I went all-in on Astral #uv with #TypedSettings. "uv sync" is pure awesome. Never has it been easier and faster to create a project venv and install everything. 😎

Released #TypedSettings 24.5.0 today.

It improves testability of Click CLIs by allowing to lazily load default settings (this is not an issues with argparse CLIs).

It also adds support for the lastest and gratest #cattrs version (thx to @tintvrtkovic <3)
