    Was hoping to kick the tires but seem to be spinning my wheels trying to get Ghidra to see the plugin. Is GH Discussions your preferred means of communications?

    Do you have a link to the files on github? I assume https://github.com/Ttl/vna2 is the older version?

    Why not just buy an ERV? It's available, comparable in costs, and in 5-10 years, there will still be parts, unlike this project where the author hasn't actually shared the most cru…

    Canada checking in. Data caps have only recently increased. Note, I did not say things got cheaper. My understanding is the Canadian government asked for a lower $ per GB. This mea…

    Left out is a bit of the saga of ratgdo and that it's not actually open source hardware. There is a separate effort in that space - https://github.com/Kaldek/rat-ratgdo I have no i…

    Designed a transmitter to spoof TPMS, in this case, for my own car : https://github.com/gcormier/tpms_silencer This way when running my winter wheels/tires, I don't have that annoy…

    I initially set out to do a complete design as you described, but homemade housing/buttons will look... homemade. :)

    Correct, the desk will not move without the key inserted, even with megadesk.

    Part of the costs is that I do assemble these by hand! My right arm is the pick and place machine. I try to do batches of 25 at once, as any more and I want to smash something. I h…

    We can call it the "BEKANT Tatoo" when you stab yourself with a spudger trying to open that damned case.

    Yeah there was an issue a while ago with the ATTiny library and they switched the pin definitions. Was indeed a frustrating time to figure that out initially when the library switc…

    I had a feature request to support IDASEN and came to the same conclusion. However, for myself (and I suspect others), I don't need yet another app to do something. I want to push …

    There's an open feature request to allow this type of functionality. Someone else wanted it to randomly move during working hours (a few times a day) to force them to alternate the…

    This is why I made it open source. For those who have the time or drive, or enjoy it, they can get everything they need to do so themselves!

    Yes, please feel free to build it yourself ;) Initially I offered kits as well - buy the PCB and all the parts to build it yourself. I think I've sold about 6 kits total in more th…

    While I agree Wi-Fi would enable other methods of control, the megadesk is designed to do exactly what you suggested.. store and load pre-defined positions by different types of pr…

    Just got 2 orders and was wondering if there was a mistake, and then someone opened an issue referencing HN, and here we are! :) I've had my Bekant for a while now, I find it very …
