This is a blog mostly about techie things, what I am doing to my apartment network on the cheap, IOT, 3D Printing, Raspberry Pis, Arduinos, ESP32, ESP8266, Home Automation, Personal Weather Stations, Things That Go Bump in the Night, and some side issues that need discussing. Remember, sometimes the journey to an end is as much fun as the goal achieved!

Posted a question on Reddit about Test Setup
Interesting, I posted a question on Reddit ( see piface_came_in_now_on_to_experimenting) about my test setup asking if anyone had experience with multi-port USB hubs and power requirements. I did get some posts re my question but another question was raised, namely about the USB-Serial cable that I was using. To tell you the truth, I had not even thought about it. I was able to get the cable to work with an old Ubuntu laptop a couple of years ago, so I thought that I would not have any issues. I will be able to test out the test setup over the weekend, but I will be paying particular attention to this issue.
