    Found an old post at eeevblog, where they hacked the Youyue heat gun. It was using atmega328p, so I am considering that one (even though they might have changed hardware since then. You'll never know what the sneaky people are doing ;))

      @tbowmo So what improvements/changes did they do with the hack?

          Still need to do some setup and sorting of things, but here are some pics of my newly remodeled workshop area.

          I really need to get rid of that old Leader analog scope and get myself a DSO. It is a conversation piece though. I have it connected to my old heathkit square/sine wave audio function generator. Does anyone have a recommendation on a cheaper DSO that would be good for microcontroller work?

            I moved my desk to a new spot in the house and reoriented the desk. Still a mess, but that is how my mind seems to work these days: lots of stuff in parallel ...

                  @gohan Agreed. I have up to 5+ going at any given time. That way I have something to do when one project goes stale or gets put on hold for a while.

                    @yveaux indeed. It seems there is always some other thing to do first. Moving my desk was part of a greater reorganisation of desks and rooms. I set myself deadlines to be able to advance a little (next one is 16 May: lasercutting boxes at the FabLab), but still progress is slow.

                    The fact that my switch to version 2.2.0 on sensors and on ethernetgateway on Raspberry is not going well, also slows down progress. Step by step ...

                        @yveaux I'm not sure the issues is with the MySensors part. The gateway listens, but presenting a new node crashes Domoticz. After reboot I do see the new sensor and can receive and show updates, but the "new node" part is what bugs me now (I made a new node with atmega1284p which I want to add to my network)
                        I am using the beta version of the gateway & Domoticz

                          Why are you using a beta version? I thought 2.2.0 was in stable release?

                            @dbemowsk like to push my luck I guess ;-)
                            It seems the latest Domoticz beta (9379 build date 28.04.18-09:18:07) has a problem with presentation of new sensors. So I will have to sweat it until they fix that.
                            I compiled the gateway on Raspberry also with the beta version (after trying the stable version first), as it was mentioned that this could fix communication errors. No luck so far.
                            Bu this discussion of my problem should be on another forum branch.

                              Use the 2.2 stable, your is not a radio communication issue.

                                  As I have updated my workshop, so I no longer sit at my family kitchen table, but instead have a man-cave, behind a sliding-door closet, next to the water-heater

                                      Well I must admit, it's just put in place - which means I have not yet started to use it - It must be messy when in use :-)

                                        resurrecting this old thread :)

                                        I got thrown out of my old mancave, and in to a small corner in the main building (the oldest son, aged 21, needed a place to stay, as his 19 year old sister didn't want to share room with him)

                                        Anyways, I have moved from a 240x60cm desk to a 120x80 desk, and no storage space around me, other than a small office cabinet on wheels. Which means that I have to constrain myself, and find some alternative setups. As I have to work from home these days due to corona, I treated myself with a monitor mount for my 3 screens.
                                        As a bonus, I can now use the space below the monitors for my tools (power supply and soldering iron,and probably the oscilloscope as well, when I get to it). I'm re-arranging stuff every other day, to figure out the best setup, and remove cable clutter (which isn't easy).

                                          resurrecting this old thread :)

                                          I got thrown out of my old mancave, and in to a small corner in the main building (the oldest son, aged 21, needed a place to stay, as his 19 year old sister didn't want to share room with him)
