I just realised I actually have a rpi4 that can connect to the camera unit - could've been testing things out the last few days while I wait. Might have something to play with over the long weekend after all.

Awesome! I look forward to hearing the progress!

I'll try and not be distracted by other projects lol

Haha I know the feeling. I bought IR blasters due to a comment on Lemmy and one of these days I'll do something with them!

Haha. I know that feeling too well.

What were you originally thinking of doing with the IR Blasters?

[–] Dave 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Originally heat pump stuff, but then it got too complicated and also we were looking at moving house so I thought I'd wait, then I thought maybe the TV so I could turn it on and off but in the end I got a PC/TV remote which we use instead.

So they are just sitting there waiting for me to think of a new project 😆

I keep buying components cause they look cool, or I think I'll need them for some project later lol.

I use nice tactix storage organizers to try and keep everything organized, but I just learned that they've stopped stocking the "deep" version :(

I try not to buy stuff until I'm planning on using it, but sometimes plans don't work out.

My storage is to just throw it in a box of junk 😆

My storage started off pretty similar, then I added some storage containers, and then I couldn't find stuff so I repurchased things I already had etc, so I put together a simple Google Sheet with all my inventory lol. Might add which container etc, each part is located to make it extra easier lol.
