I couldn’t get motivated Saturday, so I didn’t. I played some Stellaris. I like me some incredibly slow building games.
Sunday…
- Cleaned enough to find my soldering iron, solder, flux, picks, and stuff.
- Combined all the caches of used beer caps for future mosaic. I’m thinking of how to make an algorithm for it.
- Soldered a janky connector to the range finder, and verified function. It works, but it’s a bit bulky. I should get and use the right tools for the job.
- Soldered leads to two nails for the moisture sensors. Oh. No I didn’t. Those nails don’t more holding solder. I did get them working eventually, but then I realized the hookup wire I used is way too big for a breadboard (and stranded to make out really not work).
- Wrapped two more nails with different hookup wire, though I haven’t soldered yet. I brief I had a reading, I then wasted the fern they were shoved in, and then checked the raging again. These work. I still need to set them up to alternate the current back and forth to reduce corrosion.
