Well, I did log into the community on Christmas Day but hardly hard the time to do anything. It seemed a bit quiet, but I was too busy catching up on blogging about a few things that have been on the backburner for way too long. When I did pay attention to sales, there were so many that were "fake news" so I didn't end up really buying much in the way of material goods.

But the B&K Precision DAS240-BAT arrived for its RoadTest and I've already unboxed it, given it a photo-shoot, set-up the unit on the network, done a few simple checks on the unit and written a ModBus client working with it to automate some testing. I've also managed to discover a few minor issues with documentation and software as well - but it's still early days still. Some of the discoveries were a bit funny - but I'll save it for the full RoadTest report after the dust settles. That being said, I suppose B&K might get a present from me soon ... in the form of an e-mail with some questions [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-75d50385-a899-4ca7-b7b6-e325acacbb0a/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16].

At least I can't say that I'm bored ... things are happening every day!

It it reminded me of all the great things that I’ve gotten from Element14 this year. I really enjoy all the projects and programs and RoadTests, etc. My favorite this year was the Path II Programmable training. I’m continuing to work on improving my PIIP project.

Thanks to all the wonderful Element14 staff for all their hard work. And the Community for their participation.

Happy Holidays!!

The sun is shining here and it is a brisk, clear day. A good day for Christmas Day. Had a good time at church this morning, dressed as Santa Claus watching the Christmas Robot Shepherd storey:

and the Christmas Robot Wise Men story:

and so far my best present is robot football:

For some reason my wife is not too keen on playing this with me, so I might have to automate one player (somehow). Something fun for the New Year.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

Santa didn't bring me any new toys.

I do, however, have to face an upgrade from W7 to W10 in the new year. If this results in a sluggish system I may have to make an investment!!

Happy Xmas! : ) The PC upgrade will make a massive difference for the VR hopefully. I saw a HTC VIVE set-up that was impressive, but did need a very high-end PC.

That reminds me, PC upgrades are great, but the time to reinstall everything is not : ) I've been putting that off for a month, but need to put some effort into that during the hols! : (

I think I ended up only buying one electronics-related gift (Nintendo Switch Lite), I find out later today how well received it was : )
