Did the wind reach yer bones, or had it eased slightly?

Knew them things weren't big. All those cluttering up the atmosphere
this is what I'm part of...

You thinking of taking up rustling?
If you are, where will you put them. A herd of cows in a garden won't be all that normal, and are bound to stand out.

What's the price of that piece they keep showing?

I assume the 'doings' board?
Basic boards? from £17..
has to be 433 mhz...

Look at this HERE
Github Wiki TinyGS ..
you do have to have a decent antenna as yon wee thing supplied couldn't catch the cold....

Busy getting printer up and running...wifi a pest but all sorted...

If you mean the board with the stubby aerial, then yes.
Only the one frequency workable, or what's required to get you started before seeking out other frequencies.

There's more than just that board required. It's almost an add-on to an existing system. Might have to think about it a'while.

WiFi not wired? Ever connect yer phone to one.

The fog is rolling in again, now the rain has stopped.

433 is where 99% of the action is....
the LilyGo boards (that one) have a SMA antenna socket which helps..

Antenna,
I use a turnstile type but keep threatening to make others but I'm lazy 'cause this one works, simple dipole works, coax - I use 10m length of RG6 satellite stuff as not transmitting, powered by a 5v power bank..
could be powered from an USB socket or wallwart...
I've the board with the GPS thingy but there is no advantage or difference in receiving between the basic board and that.

Phone uses wifi for calling etc, signal is bad in this dip...

Good morning :hello:
Yellow rain warning at the Towers:cuppa:
11.5 mm so far....
Stay dry and warm...
Owdo this damp morn...
We've only got yer standard clear rain here. Very nearly put bog standard rain, but thought better of it.
Alternating between fog and rain during the darker hours, now its lighter it's rain in the valleys, fog on the hilltops.
Too late for that advice.

They made it easy for you, and others then. As well as on yer pockets.

Didn't think you'd have the time to make one. What with everything else going on.

WiFi calling, get you.

That puts you way out in the lead on the rain front. Enough to be annoying/stop you wanting to go out, but nowt at your level.

Can you compress the space utilised, without getting rid of much?
You left Toodles downstairs, on her own!
She'd have been having a ball.

No sooner had I posted the above, before the rain, common or garden not yellow, started hitting the window.

It's like a tip in here.

Stuck a headlamp on't me napper and switched red light on and jeez, it was a 'what the hell ' look :laugh:
It just keeps wanting to dump on us up here....

It stopped less than an hour later, and hasn't restarted, so far. No fog tonight either.

Just the one, how much more do you reckon you'll be getting rid of?
No nappy change required after you put her in the, red, spotlight?
That was one for the camera and I bet you didn't have one to hand.
Wait whilst morning, assuming they're correct, it'll be "major floods" and storm damage down south on every channel.

Dry since midnight:cuppa:
Still peaceful, soon the holy terror shall awake:laugh:
One of these daft moments, phone was at hand but over so quickly.

More coffee needed
