Update 44: moving & drafts

Sunday.

(Video: first draft of flashing and setup tutorial)

Last 2 weeks:

a) I tried to take a short holiday.

b) then started moving to the new office this week.

c) made the first video tutorial. Testing format/designs. Don‘t like how it looks. Will start over. So… still progressing very slowly on docs.

Here’s what I’m trying:
Part 1 & 2 (draft): https://youtu.be/kWAILGSRdNE
Part 3 (uncut): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTOI00dWZ5A

Here’s what i dislike: part 1 & 2 looks kind of un-authentic (to polished). Part 3 is nice somehow. Calm.

I know that i’m over thinking this but I don’t wanna do that multiple times, so i try to find a system and format i can stick with & be consistent with. I like systems and consistency.

d) still spreadsheeting costs and how this could work. (Started building an internal tool for stock & cogs). You may heard that pis skyrocketed in price (& stocks) due to Memory shortage. RAM is not even the worst part. The official raspi micro sd card 32 GB went from around 6 to 35 CHF/€ . which is silly. Also frustrating to learn that AI / tech bro madness has influence on my project.

e) continuously releasing some minor improvements. (Version 0.5.3) BeatnikOS, web, iOS, Android. Mainly stability but also convenience stuff, like volume presets (for big multi room installations).

Have a nice Sunday (evening). 🎈
