Visited Armagh Planetarium a few weeks ago and saw these interesting devices. A sun tracking, folding solar panel, and a wind turbine 'tree'.

This #M5Stack #Stamplc arrived a few weeks ago.
Still playing around with it. It comes with standalone 'PLC' type software installed but my plan is to get it working through OpenPLC.

So this arrived in the post. Nice little screen and reasonably responsive. The biggest issue with it is the lack of breakout pins. Only 5 I/O pins through some small connectors. It does have a USB-C port though.

It came from AliExpress. It was about €15. I think Amazon has a version as well. It's very picky about power though, it needs the 65W PD supply or it browns out and resets.

This little heating plate for SMD PCB repair and soldering arrived in the post. 65 watt USB-PD powered so it can use the same power supply as my Pinecil soldering iron πŸ˜ƒ.
