Very nice how long have u been tinkering with electronics for

not sure, had this for months but only coded for maybe a few hours or more, idk

And there was lots of template code.

Nice have u made anything else, templates are okay my code is usally bits and pieces mashed together off the Internet and pray that it works ahah

hmm, tried to get the barometer working, displays fixed pressure even when blowing... used a separate arduino for room thermometer that's logged to a laptop home-server, tho I doubt I'd ever get it to control a window (open or close when I send remote signals), or the evap cooler

I dont know much about barometers maybe blowing on it isnt enough to show a diffrent reading, I like the idea of using a thermometer to open and close a window im not sure what u have access to but u could use a solenoid piston to open and close the window but u would need abit of extra stuff another way could be to use a stepper motor that turns a gear that is connected to a arm in some way that can open and close the window

cool ideas... removing the plastic that "locks" it when not pulled sideways, and installing the piston would be cool. Ooo, there are window systems that can be electronically controlled, eg: https://www.ljpratley.co.uk/electric-window-controls

I never even thought someone had probably already made a product to open windows ahah maybe u will be able to make it work

Tks... I remember a library's windows opening on their own, rotating several glass pieces, so remembered and searched. Idk if I'd be able to install until I'm in a different place... tho can install that among 2 other stuff:
- Metal roller shutter (seen other houses use them on their windows sometimes, keeps the sun out when needed)
- Fire extinguishing ball: https://elidefire.com.au/

Ah that one may have to wait abit, found this too which is quite cool while I was looking at window openers https://amzn.eu/d/bzN24gA one for a greenhouse but dosent need electronics, a automatic shutter could be cool maybe closes at a ceratin time of day when the sun shines through the most or maybe even use the api of a website that tracks the sun and closes depending on that

Happy new year from Japan

Happy New Year (I'm Aussie)

 

[U. A.]

Too bad about all of the "does anyone else ____ new years?!?" currently cropping up when there ought to be just one so everyone can be in the same place, and also not spam the forum.

Also

I'm a new user here. I'm pro-choice, but reading some of the goodbye threads made me feel so awful that I actually cried. It also makes me feel bad every time I click on someone's profile and see they haven't logged in for months, because I worry they might have CTB-ed.

I know everyone has the right to do what they want, and I completely understand the huge struggles you all face (I have them too, that's why I signed up for this forum). Still, I wonder if this is the best way to approach things. Maybe some of these problems can be solved, and some people's lives could still turn out great.

I feel like a hypocrite saying this, since I wouldn't believe it when I'm at my lowest. But, rationally, I think many of you can be saved and shouldn't give up all hope. Instead of looking for the light at the end of the tunnel, people come here looking for confirmation of their feelings (confirmation bias), and that cycle just deepens the despair for everyone involved. I don't think that's very healthy.

I don't know if this is against the rules, but that's just my opinion.

is fairly correct and people have been saying this for years and others have agreed yet others still will raised pitchforks and torches at such a sentiment.

happy ny

I didn't even know this was here. This is cool. I always skip past the sticky threads.

I want to throw a rat into the 4 star restaurant

 

[TearStainedSunsets]

Welcome to the SS-lounge!

We have an open bar and a 3-star Michelin buffet for our first class members, and we offer coke and peanuts for economy users.

We hope you enjoy your stay.

the powder kind or the drink kind? im only interested in one of the two lol

happy groundhog day from the us

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all the leprechauns! We're still mixing the green beer here in NYC, with extra calcium carbonate since we know most of it will end up on the streets, one way or another...

I got the barometer working by using the Arduino Sensor Board Library (available on their website, just like the sensor board). By plugging the arduino into the bottom of the board, I found that all sensors can work at once (and output to serial)...and made a basic program to switch between sensor views on the OLED via the button, glowing the LED when pressed. The knob controlled the pitch of a speaker (with an off setting coz it will beep every 2 seconds otherwise).


Quite cool, ran for 5-7 thousand seconds or so before freezing (also, the board got glitchy when reprogramming, had to unplug sensor board before programming, and it's back to thermometer mode)

I missed it by a few weeks, but the anniversary of Spike Milligan's passing always puts a smile in my face. This is his tombstone:

The inscription just above "Loving father to" is in Gaelic: "Dúirt mé leat go mé breoite", and translates to "I told you I was sick".
A toast to your continued good health, Spike...

Happy Spring Equinox (Fall, for those Down Under)

I created a dating profile on some app some days ago. It's weird, 'cause I don't plan to stick around for long.
But I hit it off with some guy with whom I have a lot in common, and then he started saying weirdly sexual shit that put me off so much...
Is it weird to not want to go into that topic until we've known each other a bit longer? We've only chatted for a couple days, online. Made lots of plans to make music, watch our favorite Youtube videos together and such, but the strange comment makes me think he's just trying to get me alone together with him for the one thing he truly values. And anyone would make do.

I guess the good news is, if he's truly around for that one thing only, I won't have to hessitate when I finish gathering everything I need to leave this world.

Please be careful.

You are such a wonderful spirit, and I wish you all the love and happiness, as family always.

Trust your gut, idk if he'd do unspeakable stuff (or just be eventually controlling and make the mere option of CTB a lot harder)

 

[Bybye]

I know, I'm usually a lot more guarded.
But it's the first time I have so much in common with someone else and for a moment I was even excited, which never happens. Luckly I offered to meet in person next weekend so I have an entire week to figure him out from the safety of the app.

Welcome to SaSu.

There's a variety of sections with everything from how ppl CTB to fun forum games and how ppl sometimes recover too!

Tip: One can use quoted search on DuckDuckGo/Google to search the public parts of the site (weather is an example query):

site:sanctioned-suicide.net "weather"

Same. I've been here for a while. I'm just now starting to understand how this site is organized. It's not intuitive
