I'm testing a concept.
Built a cluster of four Jetson Xavier NX 16GB
Installed Kubernetes and Kubeflow.
So what's next?

I would be very grateful for the usage scenarios you see for such devices. And most importantly, what would you like to improve (besides the way it looks.)

Fan Unit v1.1
All is well.
The final version to be delivered to customers so far.
Two versions: Smart and Dumb
Smart features:
- Based on RP2040 and EMC2101
- PWM fan
- 2 temperature sensors
- 2 UARTs for interfacing with blades
- Button that can be assigned to any action
- 2 LEDs for indicating which blade is working
- 2 Digital RGB LEDs
- 1 LED to GPIO25
- Reset and boot buttons
- Power from both blades (power redundancy)
Dumb:
- PWM fan control directly from the first blade in the pair
- Power from both blades (power redundancy)
- PWM signal to both blade to determine the fan speed

I hacked the Magic Mouse.
And created the world's first ergonomic Magic Mouse with no weaknesses.
Yes, you can charge it via USB-C right while you're working!

Charges directly the battery, so the mouse doesn't turn off while charging. But the percentages increase even though the OS thinks the mouse is running on battery.

The sensor touches the table like the original mouse, with no gaps or mirrors. The click works (I had to make an extension adapter).

Article with all the details about the project is on the website uplab.pro

It's been a while since I've talked about tools.

It's been a while since I've talked about tools.
Last week, I bought a soldering microscope for my home lab and, at the same time, decided to try out the interchangeable lens option. And to be honest, I was so crazy about what it can do that I can't help but share it.
The microscope I bought is the LINKMICRO LM249MS. I bought it for around 350 euros, which is about five times cheaper than a branded soldering microscope that has fewer features. And now it's black Friday and discounts (, I should have waited a bit. Oh well.
The microscope is great, and for me, the main revelation became that it can really see super small things, I even bought a box of "biological specimen". My daughter loved it.
The middle lens will allow me to solder resistors about 1mm in length, which I had not thought of before.
I've added the actual pictures and specs to the carousel.
Among other things, I connected it directly to my phone, which makes it even easier to capture photos and videos directly from the camera. You can also connect it to your computer. In short, I am pleasantly surprised.
⠀
So, I can recommend Linkmicro LM249MS, which is just a great tool for its money.
On the plus side:
- 10" screen
- 3 interchangeable lenses
- Good kit
- Ability to save video and photos on an SD card
- Possibility to connect as a camera to a PC/phone
- There is software for PCs that allows you to calibrate the dimensions in the picture, which is sometimes very convenient when working with PCB.
⠀
On the downside, I can say that to change the lens, you have to unscrew two long bolts. A quick release would have been better. But it's not critical and takes about 20 seconds.
⠀
I used to write mostly about all kinds of tools in my stories.
Is it interesting to read about it like this?
Maybe you want to hear about some other tools that I use?

I finally have a Raspberry Pi 5 in my hands.
The first, but definitely not the last.
What lies us ahead ❤️‍🔥
