Hiljaista tällä rintamalla...
Lots have happened since last post. Just getting lazy to post new things here but perhaps this year brings a change.
Status of ongoing projects:
Flight Simulator
Progressing slowly. Now when I have access to laser cutter/engraver, cnc mill and 3D printers I have started drawing plans for "general" gauge mechanics. "General" because it will be used as a basis for all gauges in future.
Kitchen remodeling
Almost done, two cabinet doors need some thinking because of hinge issues.
Floor needs to be sanded and refinished.
Replaced 30yrs old house fan with Vilpe 190p Eco. (It can be controlled with 0-10V DC signal so that will also be controlled by home automation system. Currently there is just a pontetiometer in kitchen for speed control.)
Also replaced 30+yrs old Valmet range hood with Savo PK26.
Installation was quite difficult because I had to remove some unneeded parts first. I wonder if this voids the warranty...
Now pulling the hood open controls only lights. The other two switches will control the house fan via home automation system.
Countertop lights are led strips from partco . 120leds per meter.
Due to testing in bright daylight before installing, I had to install dimmable power supply (too bright in the morning, hurts eyes...). Can be controlled with PWM or 0-10V DC. Will be connected to home automation system too.
House Fan
I think this can be considered as one separate project too.
Plan is to have fan controlled from kitchen range hood and also automagically shut down for 10 minutes when firing up the downstairs fireplace and, also automagically, set to 70% speed setting when air moisture level rises in sauna.
3D printer
Works ok, planning to build better one started.
Hovercraft
Can not find spare parts for ancient Valmet SM-160 engines. Current plan is to replace both of them with modern 4-stroke electric start ones.
Backyard garden
First "growing box" built (and first garlics planted). If the "winter" is like this next weekend, I will build other two boxes.

Da Workshop
Remodeling ongoing. Need to have two separable spaces: one for delicate projects like microcontrollers etc and other for more dirty jobs like routing wood etc.
Not too much space available and four doors+two windows cause some problems in placing the furniture and tools.
So that's the update for now. More later.
