Could the letters be a temperature grade? Some parts have an industrial version with a different suffix.
following, I don’t understand chirps either
HC-05 is master, HC-06 is slave, that’s all I know so far
TIL the GPS does Doppler. Way smarter than my haversine idea.
Could you use the DMP on the MPU6050? I thought it does the angle maths for you.
I had the same reboot loop and it was my code calling delay() too long, so the watchdog bit me. Check for long loops without yield()
From two points it’s just distance over time? Haversine formula, 30 s apart. Seems easy to do anywhere.
wouldn’t polling be heavier than just subscribing?
Overlay on, buffer.db on a USB stick with ext4, WAL mode, mosquitto persistence off. Pulled the plug during a 4G outage on purpose: Pi came back, the 20 minutes of readings drained over about a minute and sit at the right times on the chart. Emily, thanks, I’d have lost my AP settings without knowing why.
4G drops are minutes. Power cuts are the allotment’s fault, a few hours.
Try adding delay(1) in the loop?
Maybe try a different cable?
Wait, RS-485 doesn’t need a ground wire? I always ran three wires.
Would a capacitor across the button help? That’s what I did for a doorbell project.
+1, would like this for my greenhouse heater with a weather forecast too.
