Hello...

i am wondering...since i get so much better inference time with a coral and yolo9 compared to the n100 igpu.
is there actually better detection with the graphics compared to the coral that i have missed or is it just that the coral is limited in any way?

Before my dog ate it, i had 13 ms on the coral and over 50 ms on the igpu.

The coral uses the yolov9s-relu6 320x320 and the igpu uses yolov9t 320x320

So in my understanding the coral is using the more capable model and gets better inference.

Would love to hear any info about it...thx

Hello...my coral had a hard day with my dogs chewing...and now is lets say it nicely...kaputt.

Since budget is always low...new is not an option...thx

Hello everyone...

I had a lighning issue and my motion detector went south...sinc ei also look at the same area with my dahya cam, i thought i could just put a smart switch in the line and have the cam see motion or not and switch the light on and of...

so far so good, works...jsut to good :-) is also recognices the light turn off as motion...and when i look at the debug motion boxes, even the artifacts are causing it.

so i played with the motion threshold and had no luck, cause at some point the light doesnt come on, but also not for me anymore...

so my next idea was to use detection of humans/pets and so on, but i havent found a way to use it this way yet.

Any ideas or is anyone using such setup already and share some wisedom?

Hello everyone...last weekend my property got struck and i lost some valuables.

Since i dont want to run a surge protector to every electronic device, i was wondering if those advertised hole house once work.

Example would be the HSPD-80 device.
thx for any input on this

Hello everyone...
I am in the market for a chest freezer, but i hate compressor cooling due to its constant breaking nature (at least i have this sad experience). So i looked at my RV and did some reading, and this thing is doing the same thing but without compressor...
So does anyone know a brand or product that would has that but doesnt break the bank (above 500). All i found was way south the 1k mark...
Or does anyone swear on his machine that has really good insulation and is "garage ready"?

Thx for any intel/suggestions.

Hello everybody...

I have a drawer full off D1 mini clones, some say ESP 12f on them others esp8266...
My project is a sonar oil tank level meter, which works great, but it drains my battery setup to fast, so i wanted to add some deep sleep and only measure every 2 hrs or so.

Either way...i have this code:

and for testing right now it is set to 1 min awake and 1 min sleeping...but also tried other time windows...longer and shorter...
D0 is directly wired to rst as needed, but i dont get this thing to wake up.

First i thought it could be the finiky usb chip or volatge regulator, so i went and powered it all direct via 3.3 volts...works great, no usb chip or power regulator involved...but still...3.2 volts constant on D0, no dip to 0 volts when it would be time to wake up.

The reset button itself works...it wakes up, goes through its time of awakens and falls asleep again...

Anyone having any secret sauce to this? Besides kissing it awake every time...

would it make a difference if i change the type on top away from d1_mini to a different chip type or the newer 12f whats not?

Hello everyone...

I have my little pirate setup and i want to get rid of my 175watt panels and replace them with 450-550 ones to reduce the space need to make a dent.

Now i spoke with my local solar guys, and they asked around 750 per panel...but online i see them for 160,- +-...so how/where would one order low quantity and not get splinters delivered...
