Serial Terminal
I got the case printed. Yesterday I did a test fit of the keyboard and its too big to fit into the case. I know the creator had mentioned two different keyboards that I don’t have and was hoping my cheap 60% keyboard would fit. Kinda makes me worried a bit because now I’m wondering if the correct keyboard will fit or not. I guess I need to hunt down the correct keyboard.
Server to Desktop
I still need to break it back down and drill some holes into the base so I can run the cabling. The USPS lost my LEDs and fan for this build and Amazon said “oh well”.
Workbench
I kinda started on this but nothing much has happen. I plan to use the Mini Shop for my electronics workshop and the space is too small for all of my big test equipment. However I got a bunch of smaller pieces of test equipment like the Riden power supply, Hantek USB scope and such. Thinking to mount that stuff to another sheet of plywood like the Server to Desktop project. Add a USB hub so I only have a single USB port on the computer taken up. For storage I bought a seven drawer organizer that I think will fit under the desk if I take the wheels off. If it fits then I might order another one. Hard part would be finding another one since I ordered the last one but since it’s one of those Chinese brands there are probably a ton of clones floating around.
3D Printer Station
Since I converted the closet to an office I got two printers on the old half rack. I have them both on but I only have Beast configured and Rouge just sits at idle. I had a heck of a time getting Beast calibrated. I need to calibrate Rouge. The third printer is gonna be used for the big printer I am planning to build down the road.
Low voltage Retro
I haven’t done anything yet. I got a MicroTik Router and a SFP module and I’m saving up for two EnGenius FIT APs, Switch and Management controller. Do fiber from the router to the switch and put a AP upstairs and reuse the phone line in the kitchen for the other AP.
I have a cheap Reolink WiFi camera in the kitchen and my Hikvision Doorbell but I need to install some cameras. I want some of the new Hikvision Hybrid cameras and a M series NVR. For now I’ll just get the cameras. I can’t afford the NVR at the moment and I can get the cameras pretty cheap.
