After several days of manually charging the individual cells to various stages and allowing settling between, finally finished this morning. All sitting pretty with a 2mV deviation. See how they behave now over time.

@IanSJohnston 12v into 3.3v, went onto the wrong terminal when testing an input signal.....

Good bye little one, you were the first victim of the project, you clearly didn't like that little voltage incident...

HomeAssistant migrated from Raspberry Pi 5 to Mele Overclock 4C. Painless migration, noticeable improvement 😁

I should have maybe checked with the electronics guru @IanSJohnston first.....I'm sure he would have pointed out a million mistake or that the electronics wont work!

Well my prototype NexDome ESP32 PCBs have made it through validation, through fabrication and assembly! can't wait for them to arrive! As it is my first attempt at this, my hopes of it working are not that high! 🤣

@IanSJohnston Nice, we popped over at Christmas to visit parents, but left before it started, would like to have seen it.

After 7 years, got the #lightning ⚡ detector I had installed in Qatar villa back up and working. New network jack fitted on amplifier PCB and scrubbed/ultrasonic cleaned. The Qatar weather and dust had killed it. Now to get it installed in the observatory in Cyprus.
