Documentation and build logs for off-grid comms, farm automation, astronomy, and everything else running around the farm.
This is the home base for off-grid tech and electronics projects — decentralized mesh networking, Home Assistant automation, allsky astronomy imaging, amateur radio, photography, and whatever hardware happens to be torn apart on the bench that week. Pick a category below to dig into build guides, write-ups, and ongoing project notes.
Solar-powered LoRa repeater builds, ZephCore firmware work, and Python mesh bot development — decentralized, off-grid community communications built from the ground up.
Sensors, dashboards, and alerting across the farm — from oil tank monitoring and freezer alarms to Z-Wave, Zigbee, and ESPHome devices tied together with Telegram notifications.
Allsky camera scripting and imaging setup, built around an Axis Q1604 with a custom focus-reset workflow for continuous night-sky capture.
LoRa mesh repeaters, P25 trunked system decoding with RTL-SDR, and LoRaWAN-to-MeshCore sensor ports — scanning, SDR, and radio experiments from the farm.
Photography projects and club work.
Reverse engineering, driver work, and other hands-on hardware builds.
Prints, upgrades, and troubleshooting for the farm's 3D printer — from functional parts for other projects to the printer's own Home Assistant monitoring.
