I have one of these right in front of me (SPEC-3). They sure look very nice, but mine would need some work to properly work again :( Time’s not kind on electronics

What do you mean exactly by organic maps editing tools? I was using organic maps before to add businesses, but now StreetComplete can also do that (and more!). I sometimes use Vespucci because it is very powerful, but it’s a bit of a pain to use.

Freecad is getting more and more attention. When version 1.0 releases (soon), it will be something worth checking out, but there is still work to do.

It was always under my nose, but I never realised it was there. Thanks for the tip!

We are working towards having a product properly packaged. This is a prototype that is not mature enough yet to justify the cost/time to package it. Moreover, this custom chip is used to measure ultra low currents (down to femto amps), so any packaging could potentially interfere with the measurement capabilities (-> no epoxy). It is however protected by a large shielding box, but it’s no use during assembly/modifications :/

Looks great!

If your are looking for pur aesthetics, I would recommend trimming the resistors/leds, and bending their leads before putting them on.

If you’d like some inspiration this guy has some of the best looking hand crafted electronics I’ve ever seen.

As a first step, I would recommend checking out osm.org from a computer. Once logged in you can use it as an editor straight from the browser. The embedded documentation really helped me initially.

Actually, a least some cars (probably more than you think)/have some sort of “emergency” breaking signal, which often result in the usual breaking signal blinking for a while. You need to seriously slam the brakes to see it though. E.g: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j_osu1WgGMU

There is also a nice technology connection video talking about braking lights for electric cars and in general, which can be dangerous.

I don’t know so much about EGS, but probably some of the following (most of which I don’t use very often, I hope I recall correctly)

  • Refunds
  • Family sharing of games
  • Sharing games for other local users
  • Being able to lend games
  • Remote Play (with friends)
  • Remote Play (stream for a local machine)
  • Linux support through proton
  • probably more?
