Here is a small ESP8266 prototype using a DHT11 and an LDR for light level sensing. This module is super convenient; it has USB to RS232 integrated and also has standard spacing so it can be put into a bread board.

Running a bunch of aqua noodles at the DC =)

The kids broke their iPad charge cable. They are not too hard to repair. I backed up the connector with a piece of cable tie as strain relief and heat shrunk it all together.

BBQ Salmon. Turned out great.

Scored a head unit that had AUX input, so I installed it in the car with a special IP-BUS cable.

LED Lighting control box mounted and installed.

Finn helped me out putting the rub on these ribs. Ready for bbq!

Drilling and tapping the insert board for the control box for mounting DIN rails and ducts.

Alternate power supply box design.

First LED power supply box installed and cabled.

Installed the last parts of the fiber duct today.

Making brackes for the DMX modules to bolt onto unistrut runners.

Lots and lots of pigtails soldered onto LED strips!

I am helping out with a project at work to install LED lighting in our DC. Should be awesome.

Had a mate around today for a BBQ and we built some sensors and wrote some code for the ESP8266.

I bought a Jackaroo 6S 6 Burner BBQ off eBay for parts - turns out this bbq is in better nick than mine. So, I've pulled it all apart and started cleaning it. The panels from the body of the bbq will be treated with high temp paint and the rest will be finished in Machinery Grey epoxy enamel. All the stainless parts are in good nick. I don't envy people that work in body shops stripping paint all day! It's a pain.

I saved this little stove from being scrapped. It works great.

ALL the bacon =)

Home machine SSD upgrade, cloned 250G SATA to 250G SSD. Much faster, will get a little more life out of this PC that way.

First time laying floating floor. Turned out pretty nice.

Should look good once it's got the post-mix soft drink machine and coffee machine in it!
