I'm watching from a far. Tiny CAD drawing error I presume?

Yeah, I routed a wire a bit close to a connector and it snapped the wrong way, too much of a rush and didn't spot it. I'll be more careful in future.

Soooo, what's the next project going to be?

You could volunteer your  expert programming skills to the TV geeks, they certainly could use some help!!!:stoner:

OK, hopefully the final version, a couple of bug-fixes around the display handling but nothing that affects actual functionality.
 
It's working well (famous last words?)

An automated house?

While in Aus at my daughter's house, they had a Christmas present of a Google Home thinggy.
So with it's speech converter, you just give it commands, after training, and it processes them. Example: 'Google, what's the temperature?' Or 'Google open the front door.' Or, 'Google fill the fish pond 1 cm.'
I think the Home thinggy that goes with your microprocessor is called Alexia (think that's what my son in law said.)
He has the house sound, power, water etc systems controllers all allocated ip addresses so (not yet completely up and running) so he can control everything in the house with Google Home or his phone.

It's really neat.

So why would you? Because you can.

I can just imagine sitting in my recliner and saying 'Alexia turn on the pool lights and add some fish feed to the aquaponics system'.

I'd still walk to the fridge for the Leo, as need the exercise.

I'm not really an IOT (Internet Of Things) person, I prefer my appliances to be dumb :smile:

 

Just remember what happened to Frank Spencer when he visited George's house:-

I think your Arduino project puts you on the slippery slope to becoming a IOT.

Only Frank could have that much trouble....I hope.

IOT for the chook house? See who's just laying about.

Noooo. I do not want to be assimilated with The Borg.

The Borg would reject you as you have already assimilated with TV, far worse than the Borg!
