in good shape, isolde - part 5


This resumes from a previous post in good shape, isolde - part  4. Adapt and evolve is the password of this post of continuous enhancements. Sometimes a solution is so simple that is deceptively obvious when you see one.

Back in 2013, I designed and built a compact power utility panel for Brunnhilde. It was a project of what I like to call making lemonade out of lemon. One of the two cup holders in Brunnhilde's cabin was broken from someone tried to repair it.

in good shape, isolde - part 3

This is a continuation of the previous post - in good shape, isolde - part 2.

I am using some idle time to putting some icing on the cake so to speak. Small things that just take some time to think through and implement. I bought 2 of this 2 channel digital thermometer from Radio Shack 17 years ago. I bought one extra as a spare. I was in the process of evaluating it as well as finding an satisfactory location to install. I completed the evaluation and were happy with it's functions, accuracy, appearance, and power consumption.
