ESP32-S3 Disable Built-in LED

The onboard activity led drives my crazy. Turning the lamp around just flashes against the wall.

It would be very nice if a disable feature is implemented. I know I could disable it in the code, but then I guess I cannot OTA update anymore.

[DIY] Wireless HOTAS with SnakeUSBIP

My PC is located in a small room, and I’ve mounted my HOTAS to my office chair using VESA pole mounts. It works, and when I don’t need it, I can fold it behind the chair. However, the room is quite small. Whenever I rotate or move the chair, the mounts are intended to bump into the surrounding furniture or the desk, so they take up quite a bit of space.

The room next door has a large, comfy chair and plenty of space. My idea was therefore to connect the HOTAS to the PC wirelessly.

TL;DR

I was looking for a way to connect my HOTAS wirelessly to my PC while doing VR flights in the room next door. I checked several software solutions, but most of them require a paid licence if you want to use more than one USB device.

Then I found the open-source project SnakeUSBIP
It works very well and I only need a USB-C power source. I installed the server on a headless Raspberry Pi 4 and connected both HOTAS USB devices to it. Sure, you can use a DIY-built-battery or a power bank as external power source. Wrote a small script to auto mount the USB devices after every reboot.

NF-A12x25 G2 broken wing - still usable?

I bought it on 'graigslist-like' eBay. Is this still usable with minimal impact? This broken piece is off now. Got two fans for 35€. The other one is fine.

[FIXED] LibreOffice: Crashing application immediately after opening (Windows 11)

https://preview.redd.it/h3au3i26k26h1.png?width=714&format=png&auto=webp&s=1067e1c463c021a569b6cbef492313663d33a02a

Hello,

I was facing an issue while the application crashed immediately after opening without any error message. No instance found in task manager. The fix was to open libreoffice in safe mode and disable the hardware acceleration.

  1. Open PowerShell
  2. Run command: & "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\soffice.exe" --safe-mode --norestore
  3. Disable hardware acceleration (see picture)

Light up the Water Fountain

Smallest node I've ever built. Contains a esp32-s3 super mini and PD trigger board. To light up the water fountain target at sunset. 🔦⛲

A ♥️ for WLED.

Seeed Wio Tracker L1 E-ink case 4000mAh + Magnetic Safe

Just in case someone needs one which supports big boy li-po battery pack of 4000mAh. I've created a remix of this nice case.

Additionally I've put on magnetic safe feature.
