Hi @mrhutchinsonmn,

Yes, it is possible to contribute your own tutorial by creating a project on openhardware.io (it shares the same database as mysensors.org) and submit it for review. After publishing, I can "move" it to the mysensors.org site and you can continue editing it.

For long time contributors we can offer full editor rights which means you can update any article on the site. It's a bit scary to hand out this right to anyone so you'd have to prove yourself first

If something is wrong in the current articles, you can of cause pm us the error to be corrected.

Thanks.

Yeah, PayPal are blood sucking leeches. I hope more merchants will boycot their service for other alternatives and let them die.

Hi @TRS-80,

We have no problem beeing open with the financial situation. The revenues has declined the last couple of years. Both donations and affiliate/ad vise. But I have tried lowering our monthly costs by consilidating servers and making backups of forum/openhardware.io db to my home NAS. The total cost of running things is now ~$100/month excluding domain/mailgun fees etc.

We had a short burts of donations in April this year from some germans that added up to almost $60.

The monthly google ad revenue is ~200/month so we're floating without me having to use my companys as a sponsor.

The MySensors community will not shut even if revenue goes below income (unless I go totally bankrup ).

@GertSanders, dxf should be recognized now.

I would have to add dfx to the valid list of formats for design files. I'll let you know in this thread when it has been deployed.

The page seems to work for me. Could it have been a temporary glitch?

Here in Sweden many supermarkets open an hour earlier only for the elderly or people with preconditions.

Quick and Easy

• Ethanol (96%)
• Aloe vera gel
• Tea tree oil

Mix 3 parts isopropyl alcohol to 1 part aloe vera gel. Add a few drops of tea tree oil for the smell.

Advanced

• Ethanol (96%)
• Glycerol
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Distilled water

Less sticky than the previous recepie and the recommended mixture by the WHO.

Mix 2.5 dL ethanol with 30 millilitre of glycerol (keeps the alcohol from drying out your hands).
Mix in 15 millilitre of hydrogen then another 60 millilitre of distilled or boiled (then cooled) water.

These proportions will give you a spray that can be applied to hand towels for wiping of hands and surfaces. Use less water if you want a more gel-like substance.

@The-Grue
The page does not require internet to work (once it has been downloaded).

It has always been like this. In order to do like you propose, you'd have to send in a pointer for the light variable into the function to be able to update it. This would be a bit awkward and none standard for simple scalar values.
