Galaxy II by Epoch (1981) VFD

I removed the plastic shell and magnification lens to get up close to the VFD with my camera, but I left the colored film that’s used to tint parts of the display. It makes an interesting honeycomb pattern in the macro lens!

Trying to sync up the exposure time with the flickery animations was quite a challenge.

Water Level Measurement

Last weekend I mounted an @adafruit VL6180X distance sensor underneath the grow platform. It uses a laser to measure how far away the surface of the water is, and then I subtract that from the height to determine how full the tank is.

I previously tried this with a RCWL-9620 ultrasonic distance sensor, however condensation would start to build up on the speaker grills and produce inaccurate readings. Hopefully the laser will be more accurate in this environment!

I’ve also started to use the built-in status LED to indicate when it’s time to add nutrients and when the water level is low.

M5Stack Atom Lite

I recently bought a couple of #M5Stack Atom Lites to use as bluetooth proxies for #HomeAssistant around my apartment. Much easier than trying to work around the issues with USB device forwarding on my Linux VM.
