For this holiday season my friend had an idea to make a traditional Lithuanian straw mobile but with a twist: lets use a LED strip to make it shine, and lets make it big!

Neseniai teko debuginti esphome generuojamą PWM signalą, kuris valdo servo motorą. Iki galo suprasti kas vyksta padėjo osciloskopas veikiantis ant 8.5EUR RPi Pico mikrovaldiklio.

Home Assistant has great energy management features. ESPHome provides easy and cheap way to get various measurements into Home Assistant. Combine the two and you can start tracking gas usage at homes that have old style gas meters.

Back to four months ago when it was white and cold in Lithuania.

I was preparing for a road-trip to Sweden and wanted to test out the car with the "big spike" tires. We are really fortunate to have @petrassiauciunas who, if weather permits, does his magic by pouring water on the buckwheat farmland for a couple of nights and creates an ice track for everyone to enjoy. What is more, the track is on quite a hilly terrain. You can feel the weight of the car moving around when you go through the crests. Proper rally experience!

Two weeks later after the first round of Lithuanian Slalom Championship we go to Lithuanian Street Race Championship. These series feature faster tracks. So less handbrake, and more gears.

First round of Lithuanian Slalom Championship. Early May. Still cold and wet. It is raining since the last day. Lower grip is plenty here.

Throwback to a month ago where @slalomoakademija organized Nemunas Ring winter track day.

Three GR Yaris come to a snowy track. Slides and drifts commence!

I was fortunate enough to upgrade my CPU to AMD Ryzen 9 5950x, and I figured to do a frametime and utilization comparison in iRacing using fpsVR.

Pirmiausia noriu paminėti puikų projektą Lietuvon.lt, kurio dėka esu atradęs daugybę įdomių pažintinių takų ar lankytinų vietų visoje Lietuvoje.

Tačiau Lietuvos gamta, esanti taip šalia, gali pavirsti pažintiniu taku ir be tako žymėjimo ar informacinės lentelės.

Šiuo noriu pasidalinti, kaip pasileisti į nuotykį savo apylinkėse su žemėlapiu rankoje.
