I've been feeling a bit creatively fatigued lately... not sure if it's just me spending too much time on my drawing projects - Februdoodle & Drawrch - or a reflection of the awful things going on in the world.

Some of the spark is returning though, and I've been experimenting with Blender again lately.

It's pretty awesome that it can do caustics like this with almost no extra steps beyond checking a few boxes.

In my adventures with Meshtastic, I acquired a Sensecap Tracker (T1000-E) that I carry with me.

In the DIY loop community of diabetes, many people use an old Medtronic insulin pump that communicates over the 915MHz band, similar to LoRa. This requires using a bridge device such as RileyLink, OrangeLink, EmmaLink, and maybe others.

I think these are all closed source though. Someone made an open source firmware called GNARL which runs on earlier LoRa hardware, though, proving this could work.

It made me realize, among all the devices these diabetics have access to for their bridge, none of them are well designed nor well suited for carrying.

But the Sensecap Tracker is.

I just wish I had the knowledge to build up a firmware for it. The core platform isn’t the same as what GNARL is built for.

I think this might be a "me" thing, but it's a simple pleasure in life to take some Real Life footage and find a couple of seconds that, with a couple of wee adjustments, can loop well.

Obviously, sometimes the pandas help.

(I know it's not perfect, perfection is not needed, but it works 😁 )
