Don’t need to fit your robot body in a car if your robot body is a car.

Or have multiple bodies and one is a car and the smaller ones pack in the trunk.

Speaking of skateboards and wheels that go up stairs, I like the skateboard wheels in Snow Crash that are a bunch of little pistons that adjust to the distance of the ground so the board glides smoothly over any surface, even stairs.

Would be hard to manufacture such compact little actuators and precise sensors. Simpler is better. My concept little drone has only about three pistons per wheel and they extend out either side to make six ends on each - like spokes of a wheel (without the wheel itself, just pads on the end of each spoke) where the axle move off centre. I don’t know if it would work, but with proper coordination it might be able to function like simplified little legs.

My UniFi Doorbell G4 Pro just got an update enabling the fingerprint and NFC readers (that I didn’t even know it had) and it is FREAKING AWESOME!!!

It reads my xM1 and xSIID very well without the need for a repeater. It can link to local user or UI accounts so that I can add my friends and family for access. Then, it can trigger a webhook when certain users are recognized, so it can run HomeAssistant automations depending on the person.

FREAKING AWSOME UPDATE.

Sadly, my smart lock connects via a “Wi-Fi bridge” over Bluetooth and that bridge goes into a standby mode after a few seconds and takes somewhere around 10 seconds to reconnect, which makes unlocking very slow
 :sob:

Does a T5577’s range somehow depend on what’s written to it?

My flipper can read my xMagic easily when it’s in EM mode, but when I write a Prox credential to it, I have to take the silicone case off and it’s still a little picky about placement


Am I going crazy?

Well, heres another interesting thing.

Try the same ones on a Proxmark

My prediction is
HID Prox will bow EM410X out of the water

It’s definitely a little better, but no where near as pronounced as the difference on the Flipper

I can’t even imagine why they’d be opposite though

This is an odd interaction that I also witnessed in reviewing the LF testing data.

I believe has to do with the way the analog frontend configuration works, data encoding, etc. which impact the T5577 performance. For what it’s worth I think a legit original EM4102 vs an HID Prox chip with the same antenna size tuned for the required capacitance of each chip is basically on-par. I think this is a T5577 chip thing, which isn’t so surprising if the chip is bending over backwards to change how its signalling works at the analog level.

I just saw this, not doing anything with it, but sharing incase it piques someone elses interest

Also interesting functionality

Loving your work as usual @Chimpofm and @DonFire

I love the easter egg, :easter_egg:
but curious why you chose headphones :man_shrugging:

Whatever the reason
I hope you keep them in the final design

I just spent like a solid day tweaking my desk, cable managing
 more tweaking
 installing some arms and extra monitors
 more tweaking
 get finished and then rip a hdmi connector off :person_facepalming:so I had to un harness that whole run and do that portion again etc

Glad to be done for now
 been my hyper focus for the past 2 weeks scrounging and market placing pieces and parts and exact matches for everything


May not be the best cable mangement, but it’s definitely serviceable

Comes with a Needle and Lube. No gloves, bandages etc. Flex implants have a different enough installation procedure that we try to ensure that the installer knows what they are doing.
