This week I...


  • Installed the homebrew launcher on my New 3DS XL: https://3ds.hacks.guide/
    I also use an Acekard 2i to play DS/NDS games. It uses a microSD card. I forgot there is also one inside the 3ds for a shamefully long time while following the guide...
  • Also installed the homebrew launcher on my Wii U: https://wiiu.hacks.guide/ I purchased New Super Mario Bros from Nintendo eShop- not realizing it becomes the shell for Haxchi.
  • DNS info for blocking Nintendo updates: https://github.com/FlimFlam69/WiiUTutorial/wiki/1:-Blocking-Updates-From-Nintendo:
  • Modified two Sonoff Basics to add to Smartthings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxV_zWvxbSE
    Flashing and Wireless setup went Ok. I added the Device Handler and SmartApp to my Smartthings IDE.  Smartthings is having troubles discovering- even with direct IP information.
  • I am still considering Home Assistant; I have it installed on a RPI 3B with an Aoetic Z-Stick Gen 5- just need to take the time to learn more and configure: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/
  • Started wiring some old RGB LED strips I found as under-cabinet wiring.  While looking on Amazon, I can order a roll of WS2812b addressable RGB LED strip and an in-line controller for less than a decent 3 channel RGB controller
