Giving the KIT to a school or Association

feiticeir0 — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 22:35:14 GMT

Hi !

Just a quick question, now that the Design Challenge has come to the end.

I have no use for the Arduinos or the Grove KIT . Is there any problem if I give them to a school robotics club or an association ? They probably will use them more than me and will use them to learn.

Thank you

Debugging my power line!

A short story on the unexpected joys of debugging, fault finding and a nose.

Saturday morning I have an alert that I have missed 5 heartbeats from my remote monitoring box, check to see if data is coming in, its not.

Check to see that is still powered on, its not.

Check the RCD in the house for the circut that feeds my garden power, its off.

Reset, observe, all is back to normal again. Until 45 mins later off again.

Down to the pond, check the junction box, dry, all connections good, under cover of umbrella, carefully check my project enclosure box, all good.

Reset, observe, all is back to normal again. Until 3 hours later off again.

This continues for the next few hours spotty on and off.

I check the full length of ther armoured cable run, i remake all electical connnections, checking each as I go, all to no avail.

Had it not been dinner time for my dog I would have spent the rest of the day trying to find the problem.

What was it I hear you ask?

A curious pug, specifically my curious pug, Cake, noticing that when the breaker was live it has a red light on it, this apparently warranted further dog inspection and her only eye (yes, she is one eyed) pushing her face right up to the breaker and her nose smushing the "test" button which stands proud of the breaker. The oh so slightest click as the breaker does its thing.

More amused than I am annoyed.

Blog flagged as spam? help

Good morning, when adding code and images to my blog entry for the Just encase design challenge it was flagged as spam?

I added code and JSON schemas, along with some images. I have appealed the auto content flagging, but remain concerned.

Draft blog - saved draft, where to find it?

So I have saved a draft of a blog post for the just encase design, however I cannot now find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thank you in advance.

Confirmation of Submission

I have submitted my application for the Just Encase Design Challenge.
The "Join the Challenge" option is still clickable for me. Hence I was confused if my submission was received.

Could the organizers please confirm if they have received my submission?

Multiple submissions

feiticeir0 — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 11:32:28 GMT

Hi all.

I'm sorry, but apparently I have multiple submissions into the design challenge, but only the last one is valid... I need you guys to delete, if possible, all the others.

This happened because for 2 days I had problems submitting the applications, always getting and error (JIVE unavailable) when submitting the application.

Then, when trying to apply again and submit the application, nothing was recovered and had to start a new one.

Can you do that please ?

Thank you
