4th November, 201811th November, 2018 Marcel StörNo Comments

Just the other day I was finally fed up with managing a website with FTP and switched to website hosting with Git. In hindsight I don’t understand why haven’t done this transition a long time ago. It is so much more convenient and setting it up is really just a matter of minutes. This article […]

A new star is born – welcome, ThingPulse

Back from a long blogging hiatus… I’ve you’ve been following this blog or read a couple of the more recent articles then you know that “IoT” has consumed a lot of my spare-time in the last two years. Hundreds of hours have gone into supporting the NodeMCU firmware project. I’ve been a tool smith, a […]

Create an info icon with wxPython

25th September, 201727th September, 2017 Marcel StörNo Comments

A while ago I asked on Stack Overflow how to create an info icon with wxPython. I asked because I needed a way to to explain the options for a radio control in my NodeMCU PyFlasher project.

Analyze SSL certificate on macOS

19th September, 201719th September, 2017 Marcel StörNo Comments

All it takes to analyze SSL certificates on macOS is, as so often, a single shell command. macOS comes with everything you need pre-installed. This is yet another “notepad scribble post” i.e. a public note for myself so I don’t have to search the Internet next time I want to analyze SSL certificates on macOS. Dump […]

Which cables for TP-Link TL-POE200

11th September, 201719th September, 2017 Marcel StörNo Comments

This attempts to answer the question which network cables are supported by the TP-Link TL-POE200 Power over Ethernet set. The user manual insists on the usage of CAT5 UTP cables. However, when I contacted their support asking if those were the only types of cables supported they weren’t able to help; rather disappointing. In a […]

In this post I’ll show you how to build a LoRaWAN gateway for The Things Network. While I could talk about what LoRaWAN is or why I think it’s essential that the IoT world fully embraces it I’ll refrain from doing so. Accordingly I won’t be introducing The Things Network (TTN) in this article either. It’s […]

RHA T20i earphones

RHA T20i – an Apple moment and a huge disappointment

7th June, 201727th June, 2017 Marcel Stör1 Comment

I previously documented my odyssey to find the “best” earphones for me. For the past 18 months or so I’ve been using RHA T20i monitors with over-ear hooks and here’s my verdict. By the way, the reason I eventually replaced my beloved Klipsch earphones that I had been using for years before was the rustling cable […]
