Winging it

So my 'running truck'* is a Japanese imported car, converted from kph to mph.

So I tried to do a thing.

Our house dates from the turn of the century and has been redeveloped several times, at some point it had metal "Crittall" windows installed.

I picked up a water damaged Psion 5x to have some spare parts available to repair the first Psion 5x I bought.

Step 10 - Sharp Objects So someone asked, can you dynamically load the library in csharp just like python?

Preamble I've always been better at the 'doing' rather than the explaining, so as part of my “what can we do with C++26” exercise I thought this would be a good opportunity to attempt to practice the 'explain it' bit.

Capsure Hacking #3 Third post on this topic, see also post 1(JTAG connections) - and post 2 (USB decoding).

After my initial tinkering and playing with the RM200 Capsure colorimeter I wanted to be able to experiment with firmware tweaks, also having to use the X-Rite Windows app, using fiddler to hack the packets connecting to their servers each time I switched…

After reading Adam Zeloof's notes on using an X-Rite Capsure cosmetic colorimeter with the "standard" edition firmware with a "minor" serial number tweak - I had to give it a go myself, it's easy to pick up the cosmetic versions off ebay.

(* in the M50 category) So.

After the last tinkering with CO₂ sensors on the VO₂ max device, Sensirion released an updated chip the STC31-C with finer resolution (0.2% vs 0.5%) and a more "raw" reading mode.

Following on from the last post which was about the process and building, this is just an overview of the latest design.

After the success of "Tracker Two" I decided, as I mentioned at the end of that previous write up, that it was time to see if I could build my own custom hardware.

Testing the first version I constructed the VO2 max device when I first heard about it on Instructables it was great fun to make and I was really impressed with the quality of design and construction.

Spartathlon - a 153 mile, 246 km race from Athens to Sparta in Greece.

Firstly some backlog/admin to write up.
