Time series analysis at @dotnetsheff with @HartleyHacks took me back to uni days! Amazing presentation of Fourier Transformations usage on a time series!
Thanks to Hackaday for featuring my recent sonic screwdriver project on their blog! Always great to see a project I'm proud of out in the world :D As an update, I'm still running around my house turning things on and off with the screwdriver, the novelty hasn't worn off yet!
After finishing my recent sonic screwdriver project, I've just headed over to @hackaday @hackadayio to write up and document the build process.
Check out the article here: hackaday.io/project/165786-s…
It's done! Just published my first video/blog combo in a couple of months. Find out how I made my own sonic screwdriver to control plug sockets around my house... wirelessly! What do you think of it? all the circuitry and code is open source too :) youtube.com/watch?v=bvfOoOQJ…
Every failed print is a lesson learned! In this case, using the default zig-zag supports didn't do the job - had to switch to grid-shaped supports and add a raft for additional strength and bed adhesion.
Decided to do some 3D design this afternoon - finishing up a Sonic Screwdriver project I started before Christmas - can't wait to get this one printed, it's a custom circuit board and a bespoke 3D printed casing!

What an evening!
My laptop is 5 years old and I was looking at a new one, but have decided to double-down and upgrade. RAM doubled and new battery installed!
I've spent my morning writing up how to use an @Pimoroni Keybow macropad to trigger my drag-and-drop automation software Numpad Superpowers. Thanks once again to @all_about_code for documenting the Lua code to achieve this on github - you're a star! numpadsuperpowers.com/blog-p…
Just sent my latest update email to the Numpad Superpowers mailing list. Updates include a shiny new code-signing certificate (which is a massive step forward), usage stats and some automation inspiration from defkey.com. Read all about it: mailchi.mp/5af38ffcd4e1/usag…

For my book every page needs to be double spaced. So I created a shortcut using @pimoroni keybow!
This is mission 1 from my book 😀

Bright Box Makerspace opening in Sheffield 30th March, helping everyone get creative with technology. Congratulations @brightboxmaker @kisha_bradley shar.es/amwsBL
Following 6 months of rebuilding my computer automation software Numpad Superpowers, I got to have a little dance around the house earlier after making my first sale! It's delightful to create something other people find genuinely valuable. Woohoo :D numpadsuperpowers.com/
Thank you to @hackcessible18 and @AejazAssistech for inviting me to today's Hackcessible workshop. It was great to present my experiences in open source hardware/software, advertising and commercialisation. Great to see maker skills being used to create accessible technology!
Hey @mintcast and @all_about_code - great job on episode 304 and thank you for the shoutout about my software - Numpad Superpowers. Josh is the first (I know of) to hook it up to a Keybow, and kindly documented his Lua code on github. Keep up the good work!

How cool is this! Using @HartleyHacks's Numpad Superpowers with the @pimoroni Keybow to provide a nice visual editor rather than using Lua. Amazing software Robin!
