    No, sorry - I may be able to buzz one out of the a/c controller later on. I do, have 2 spare USB-C to JST-SH adapters that suit the round advantage air circuit board if anyone want…

    It's an FT312D, which is a purpose-built android thingy that presents a serial port and allows the tablet to charge.

    Incidentally, if you root your tablet you can just change the build.MODEL to "MyAir5" and everything will work on a third party tablet.

    OMFG; I am in Perth, I have the same system, the very same problem and solved it almost the same way and was in the process of writing it up. The system uses RS422, with a base64 e…

    I think it's probably a great way to understand the culture of the hiring organisation and to see if your approach would work with theirs. It'll probably be relatively unsuccessful…

    It's unusual to see a coherent, from-first-principles explanation of a neural network. Especially one that's commercially valuable (i presume) to Totems. Mildly alarmed to learn I'…
