I had claude write an mcp server to talk to my scope since most are connected over Ethernet. It was pretty fun. https://netliststudio.com/articles/2026/02/23/claude-oscillo...

That would simplify things. How do nodes usually identify themselves to be able to join the network? Maybe a QR code?

I think most ZigBee and Thread chips use 2.4 GHz which limits distance. A lot of water meters are underground on the front yard somewhere so sub gigahertz radio would penetrate better. The modulation scheme of LoRa also allows for greater

So if I understand correctly, they used hard coded constants to generate keys that only have 44 bits of entropy, which is brute forcible for $10, but you have to do it per device. They presumably did this to make pairing the bridge and sens

I built (and currently testing) a 4 port automated PCB test & programming tool. I needed a way to produce a bunch of PCBs efficiently and couldn't find a solution that was flexible and didn't cost many thousands of dollars. I

Very cool project. Congrats. I will be trying this out. Two other project I saw that are somewhat related for those interested: 1. reddit community (r/xteinkereader) building an OS like ebook reader app for a small chinese ereader base

If you just want a simple UI editor and don't want to pay for the official tool, give GUI Glider from NXP a try. https://www.nxp.com/design/design-center/software/developmen...

Super impressive project, especially for what seems to be your first embedded project. I haven't played with microPython/uOTA so this was an interesting read. Since you mentioned the water meter Flume, I wanted to shamelessly plug

I started working on my opensource water meter again ( https://y-drip.com/ ). Hardware is basically done so I'm working on the backend website for those that don't want to setup their own server. More technical deta

Hey HN, I recently launch a side project selling software on Shopify and needed a way to for users to manage their software license. Shopify's sample Django app was out dated and didn't implement all of the security features so I&

Thanks, good to know. I may need to request a 3A 1U in that case. I didn't know iDRAC could measure real time power usage. Pretty amazing.

This is a pretty cool solution. I didn't know the capabilities of USB4 before this. The comparison with the Dell r630 power numbers got me interested since I just purchased a Dell r430 to host my site so I decided to benchmark mine. Sp

Thanks. Detecting slow leaks while also conserving battery life is tricky so I opted to do it in hardware with digital logic. I keep a count of all of the low speed revolutions of the magnet inside of the brass housing. It needs more testin

Someone mentioned https://inventree.org which looks cool, but there is no distributor API connections AFAIK. I really wanted to ability to scan my Digikey bags and have it auto fill all of the parameters so I made a super basic

Strange. That's one of the reasons my leak threshold is customizable. My city water meter has an LED that turns on when it detects a leak, but I've never seen it work.

Interesting. Do you mean the leak is intermittent and Flume isn't able to detect it? I would love to know more.

I'm building an open source water meter to detect costly water leaks and track your water usage. The hardware design is flexible enough to easily repurpose it for measuring residential gas and electricity meters, as well as any signal

I used a similar screen to display the user interface for my DIY reflow oven. The raspberry Pi and Linux is overkill for this project, but it's so much easier building a GUI than on a microcontroller. https://nabil.me/2

If you are into lifting, anything from All Things Gym or Hook Grip. They focus on weightlifting, but it's fun to watch top athletes do their thing. You can also learn from their warm-up routine and assistance exercise. https:/&#x

My theory is Android is too difficult to maintain. There is a significant amount of work that has to be done to keep up with the latest version of Android especially if you are going to make heavy modifications to the functionality of the O

Hardware is the biggest challenge and what I assume you are asking about. My first approach was to get a double din computer case, which gives you an aftermarket look. The better option is to go to the junk yard and get a stock head unit an

Great project. Offline mapping is a great feature addition. I'm working on a similar side project using C++ and Qt. I tinkered with Qt maps for a bit, but found it was sucking up too much of my time building a navigation app with all o

Love the concept. No login, super simple to use and well defined use case. There are a bunch of obvious features you could add like a timer or the ability to edit a workout, but I appreciate that you decided to get people using it first. I
