@NeverDie I may have to dive into this, as we are expanding our garden and we have plenty of the furry devils. :)

@NeverDie Great link thanks. That guy has gone all out to fight the legions!

@scalz

I have also another nice design for nrf52 (again, smaller) but actually busy with my job.

Can't wait to see your nrf52 version.

The rate of new postings seems much less than in prior years

@NeverDie Too funny. Might have to get a can of that.

@NeverDie said in nRF5 Bluetooth action!:

the smaller and cheaper nRF51822 is maybe worth considering.

That is interesting. What sort of range where you getting?

Do you have the 840 dev kit? If so, can you measure range on that guy? Should be 10x I would think.

@mfalkvidd Thanks for the clarification. I just wanted to make sure I did not need to worry about the other person being online when I sent a message. Chat will work.

@Yveaux From the lack of responses here, there may not be a DM option.

@Terrence said in Direct Message others on forum:

I see the ability to chat, but that is too real time.

Thanks Yveaux. I was looking for a direct message format, not chat.

I can't seem to find the way to DM others on the forum. Does this feature exist? I see the ability to chat, but that is too real time.

Thanks.

@NeverDie I know, we filled up on Thursday. 30 min line in Llano - one station had gas. Brady one station. As we get further out from the epicenter of panic things are getting better. Lubbock seems to be normal.

@Abdu-Sahin I was interested in reading your conversation about battery life etc. I hope you will continue the conversation on the forum instead of in private.

Thanks.

@NeverDie I am heading off to New Mexico for a week of cool weather, but when I get back maybe we can meet for lunch or something. I would love to talk about projects. My em is my username at MacTexas dot com

@gohan Well Austin fared very well. We got about 9" of rain and now all is clear.
My brother in Smithville 40 miles SE towards Houston got about 29", water stopped 1" from his door step, neighbors across the road had 8-10" in the house.

@NeverDie How cool. I am down in Sunset Valley.

Is wondering around with no ambition and no where to go, so he is dumping lots of rain on Texas. Most places are happy to have it. Corpus and the coast up to Houston don't really need 20"-30".

We were down in San Antonio for a board meeting Thursday and Friday and the rain was slight.

Headed back up to Austin Friday afternoon, still slight rain.

This morning heavy rain and wind. 5" so far. The creek that closes our road has not crested yet, but I expect it to sometime tomorrow.

@hek Are you using Edge?

@mfalkvidd Interesting, this works in IE.

It looks like the server is doing a redirect to

Must be a security setting, but I can't see anything pertaining to redirects in settings.
