The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap

  • Post category:Photos

I’ve recently started playing The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap on my RG351V. Really enjoying it so far!

I tried to play it a few years ago on my Nintendo 3DS, but I really prefer this vertical form factor. It feels more like an original GameBoy or GBA SP, and RetroAchievements is really nice to have.

Plus, this handheld runs Linux, so I set a cron job to automatically back up the save RAM over WiFi 😎

ESPHome Garden Monitor

  • Post category:Photos

Over the weekend, I converted my garden monitoring microcontroller from #MicroPython to #ESPHome.

The controller is a M5StickC-Plus with temperature, humidity, air pressure sensors, and IR thermometer attached via I²C. The button on the front records the timestamp when plant food is added. #HomeAssistant adjusts the LCD backlight automatically using a nearby Zigbee motion sensor.

Firmware is on Github: https://github.com/c99koder/m5stickc-aerogarden​

ESPHome makes it much easier to add additional sensors in the future, I’ve already got a few ideas already! I was hoping it could work as a Bluetooth proxy for #HomeAssistant too, however the device doesn’t have enough RAM to run the display, WiFi, and Bluetooth scanner at the same time.

HelloFresh 👨‍🍳

I’ve been using HelloFresh for a few weeks, it’s been really interesting! I wont continue using their delivery service after the Black Friday discount ends, but I’ll keep making some of these recipes with ingredients from the supermarket instead.

This year’s Christmas event in Elite: Dangerous was quite fun, and finally gave me a reason to visit Hutton Orbital.
