Working on designing and building an interface to properly integrate a modern phone with Toyota/Lexus infotainment systems from before 2010 (which are using the proprietary AVC-LAN protocol). I've explored all existing commercially available solutions and none match my requirements/standards (high-quality audio codec/DAC, USB-PD, steering wheel controls, no splicing or cutting into the loom, no cutting up the dash, e…

Version 2 is being built around a CM4 IO board and will include my AVCLAN implementation, DAC, GPS and is intended to run AOSP Android. The board is fully designed already and I'm working on the custom Android build now.

#554So despite not being a programmer, barely knowing a little javascript, and nothing about python, linux, or gtk, I was able to use AI to muddle my way through to creating a program that takes the input from a numpad, looks up the song from a list, sends it to mpd, and posts a picture from the album art embedded in the music file. https://github.com/jccalhoun/mpcButtonJukebox

#558A tree cutting tool. Take photos of the tree from 6 different angles, feed into a 3D model generator, erode the model and generate a 3D graph representation of the tree. The tool suggests which cuts to make and where, given a restricted fall path (e.g. constrained by a neighbors yard on one side). I create the fallen branches in their final state along the fall plane, and create individual correction vectors mapping…
Do consider the value of the wood in relation to your cuts. A well-placed cut not only guarantees safety but will also take the maximum board feet from the tree.
