Been busy as per usuage,
Working 10+ hr jobs 5 days a week, which has been a bit more work load than the past couple of months. I can easily get by working like 3-4 days bi-weekly but my main client has been needing extra hands. On the upside grandma came back from holidays so I've been sleeping an extra hour or 2 the past week and stress has dropped down a bunch around the house. God Bless Grandma.
Robotics related bit:
Got an odd trouble shoot call that has to deal with RF "Radio frequency" *gasp* radiation weapon 5g stuff right there. Instead of paying millions of dollars to have chums pull-wire through a building the future is here and now slightly more qualified chums like myself just lick and stick devices. Everything works off of a local power supply (battery/ nearby outlet) and communicates using the ghostly power of RF. Now the radio in these small things are rather weak with a penetrating force of like 10m through air & they're encrypted. The system works by creating a deep mesh like the world wide web and has other points to relay, encase something in the middle goes down. Works like magic, super simple stuff right? Mostly yeah but then things got weird on this site; a building 3 city blocks away on a different system (but same RF) was controlling mine and vice versa. A controlled light in room 101 in one building would control another; super cool but they didn't want to share light switches. Somehow the signals reached WAAAAAY past 10m, I didn't bother with a spectrum analyzer whatever happening is happening and I can't re-arrange the city to remove this oddity SO I did the only thing I could do: spend 11hrs changing the RF band of all the devices. I had to do it on my site because I came 2nd on the wavelength and it's a wild west of first come first served when it comes to these things.
