Up ta somethin'


i'm sitting here wondering if the noise i thought i heard was a rat trap in the attic going off and then suddenly had a realization. if I got a bluetooth beacon board, put a normally closed magnetic reed switch between the battery and the board, glued a small magnet on the rat-crushing part of the trap, and stuck the beacon board under where the magnet would be when the trap is set I would be able to tell without going up into the attic.

or I could just check sometime tomorrow and not spend $10 to instrument a $1.50 trap.

oooh! how about a similar display, only it goes in your car’s rear window and it does speech to text!

i have no idea if this is even possible. I’m just an ideas guy. like, I don’t even know how to “make the wiki”.

A team from a major pest control company prototyped this at the last hackathon I went to. They also had a camera recording when went in to it wired up to goog's photo recognition thing. They rejected my request for that camera to activate slowmo mode when the trap actually went off

i bought a 2$ bluetooth adapter for my car stereo on aliexpress

i didn't want something with a flimsy 3.5mm jack + microusb to power it. so i got one that was just usb, thinking that there's no way in hell that how i imagine it works is true

turns out, it's 100% true. this little fucker emulates a usb key with 10 mp3 files on it and streams the bluetooth audio on-the-fly. i'm guessing it only works with lovely car stereos with like 1 meg of ram that can't buffer the file at all.

it even works out pretty well when you skip a track using the car stereo. the usb key recognizes the stereo is trying to read the next file and it's sending the "next song" command via bluetooth.

the chinese guy in a basement who wrote that firmware is a genius

welp that's my bluetooth story

They're practing for when the cattes rise up (against we who have invited an apex predator into our homes as the virgin invites in the vampire) and eat our eyeballs as we sleep.
