Ya ya, but same with cnc, you have things like backlash and physical control challenges.

Fair, ya even around 10 mil is probably pretty tough with a reasonable cost cnc. I imagine with laser ablation, you’ll probably run into similar issues, you still have to physically move and point the laser, mirrors, or your target base.

I’ve got a little bit of a background in optics and sensors, but diy photolithography still seems pretty challenging, would be interested in following your work if you go down that route.

Any potential paths forward? Desktop cnc?

Ahh, makes sense. Multizone is something I’ll probably end up doing in my house soon, thankfully all my ductwork is exposed in the basement which makes it easy. Thanks appreciate it, I’m going to try to get a prototype board spun in the next week or two, test it out for a bit, and then see if other people are interested in them too. Appreciate the info, I should consider being able to control dampers also.

Cool, I’ve come across this before. I have been looking for a more open thermostat, preferably esp32 based, that I can have good local control over. I have started to do the board layout for one with some air quality sensors built in.

If you don’t mind me asking whats more complicated about your hvac setup? Multistage? Heat pump? Multizone?

They do work pretty well, I’m phasing out the Google homes in my house trying to go completely local, and the voice PEs are pretty good for voice control.

Which one would you recommend?

Same, started following him about 6 months to a year ago and quickly became a fan

I am pretty sure it is, it seems ironic to me

If he helps bump the gaming industry in a better/healthier direction, he deserves 6 figures imo

I normally am against outrageous branding, especially in the overly masculine or nationalistic area, but I think they are pretty solid. Good product, they lean right into the ridiculousness just enough for it to be a little comical, seem to have good messaging, and it’s just good. Expensive for what it is though.
