Al's Workshop update

Arrived this afternoon 2 x RF controllers with remotes. This was one of those 'nifty moments' where I came up with the idea to use left over materials - in this case LED strips.

Since the start of COVID how many bats have I done...dunno lost count. Each bat consumes 1.5M so for the 2M light kits that's 0.5 or for 3M light kits 1.5M - leftovers.

This one

The RGB kits range in price from around $12 - $16 and these RF controller kits were about $6 so by using the leftover strips I can save 6 - 10 bucks per bat light. When you working with a dollar here and a dollar there - that's quite a saving!

Serengeti Giraffe progress

With regard to my Al's Workshop 'Serengeti Giraffe silhouette wall light $60' preview post here is the real thing - A3 size Giraffe nearly finished. Doing another check before final assembly tomorrow morning.

Google adverts begone

Got rid of the bloody thing in particular at the top of news articles.

Hosts file

Edit the hosts file in Windows/Sstem32/drivers/etc

Add two 127.0.0.1 loopback entries which basically sends those bloody host names back to the same machine.

This morning although the sun is out it's bloody cold (again) in the workshop but never mind heat up the glue gun to start doing the giraffe lighting.

Doing a lighting test before we tidy up the wiring.

Serengeti Giraffe SG01 - part 2

Made another frame that sits on top of the internal frame that will simply house the battery box. I'm using up the COVID toilet paper wherever I can so we can get back to our preferred brand but wait...what was the brand we used ???
