Many apologies... I really do not have much to report. The Draconberry Pi is still on my bench. The only painting I have done has been on stuff for other folks. Nothing for here. 

I did get a variable powersupply built. I need to get it written up. It uses an 18V Ryobi battery for the source voltage and has a nice color LCD screen. The case is 3d printed (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2467237). and there is an instructable (https://www.instructables.com/id/Battery-Adjustable-Power-Supply-Ryobi-18V/) on how to put it all together. It works great. And if you have a few 18V Ryobi batteries around, it makes a great tool.

I have also added some smart switches and plugs around the house. I want to play with them some more before I make any write ups.

I just need some time to get some stuff together. 

TTFN,

Keith

Well, at least that is how it seems to me. We have had a lot of work done around the house and we are almost done with this round of it. Judy is prepping for the Pikes Peak Studio tour. Which means, I have to help as well.

The Drakenberry Pi is still on the bench. I have all of the bits. I just need to get it all wired up. The LCD and RetroPie install is done. I just need to find the time to finish it up. Once I get it done, I will do up a write up for it.

And Prusa Research finally got in the spring steel PEI coated sheets. I ordered one and got it in 3 days... not too bad. Looks like that solved my first layer issues. Now I can work on the old sheet and see if I can rejuvenate it...

I want to get back to painting again, but that takes time too... 

More to come.

I haven't had much time to do many things lately.

Recently, we started moving my wife's art studio from the basement to an upstairs room. Needless to say, it has been quite the affair, and it still is not done. I am hoping that the worst is over. She found a map cabinet locally for an excellent price. However, I did not realize how heavy they are. Each drawer weighs about 50 pounds... there are 10 drawers per cabinet and there are two cabinets - over a thousand pounds of steel. 

The original plan was to stack them on a cart so they can be shifted around and the top one would get a work surface put on it. BUT... at over a thousand pounds, it still did not want to move with the big wheels I put on it. So, she sold one of them and I put even bigger wheels on the cart. Now it moves at least and I had to build a table to go around it. Been a busy weekend.

Lots of little stuff to finish up for her studio, but it is coming along.

I have been working on a portable game emulator, the Drachenberry Pi. I got the STL files from Thingiverse. So far so good. Been working on getting all the wiring done. I will do a project page for it once I get it done.

I also finally have all of the parts for a new quad... Just need some time to get to it.

ttfn,

Keith
