This always amuses my partner, but every time we go somewhere outdoors I have to get pictures of any antennas, weather sensors, etc. that I see. Somehow I like the vibe of them.
We haven't had much interest, perhaps because of too few hashtags.
Any EE looking to move to Vancouver, BC, for some short term work that could become long term?
@coupleOfHires @hacks4pancakes @transworldexpress You are not using any hashtags. I understand that the common advice on Mastodon is to use lots of hashtags. Then, to add more hashtags. Like #job #jobs #relocation #relocate #expatriots #apply #gig #Python #ROS #ElectricalEngineering #EE #software #hardware #soldering #electronics #sensors #startup #production #CV you get the drift. :-) #HTH
Fixed a broken #Miele #induction #hob. This is the KMDA 7774, manufactured year 2018. A nice cooktop with integrated extraction fan and flexible cooking zones. The glass panel #touch #sensors /#buttons started to fail, with problem to set levels, to turn the hob on and ghost turn-off while cooking. After disassembly, soldered all contact surfaces of the conductive rubber buttons residing under the glass, snapped-in on the #PCB. Had to snap each button off, and they were many! SMD solder iron too small for proper heat, but a regular sized WTB tip on the Weller station at some 400 deg C worked fine, using a desoldering pump to remove superfluous solder. Each pad is a via and even if looking pristine (no fog on the PCB, no visible oxidizing) it was enough resistance to become faulty. Believe this to be #conductive sensors and that the via size and/or thickness was wrongly designed. Might even be an issue with the design recommendations of the component supplier and not Miele. #DIY #repair #electronics #solder
I'm also keen to try to incorporate some of my creative life into my tech life for what feels like it would be the first time. Music and drawing are a big part of me and my story. And sport. I should consider some sport stuff. But definitely Big Data and sensors. Fick I love sensors. And robots.

It's 2024 and still, no easy way to #aggregate your data from multiple #health and #fitness #sensors without relying on 3rd party proprietary solutions.
Imagine you've been saving your data for years but then your sensor needs to be replaced but the sensor is made by another manufacturer, a new data silo is formed because most companies force you to only use their solution or big tech sync.

Here's a paper on the topic from 2018. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4704968/
