 +====== ESP32-S2 and the APA102 RGB LED ======
 +[[feathers2_apa102|{{:​esp32s2:​feathers2.jpg?​direct&​300 |}}]]
 +
 +I recently picked up an ESP32-S2 based board that features an APA102 RGB LED which is a serial device with data and clock pins.
 +
 +Working with this LED device seemed tricky at first, but thankfully a good datasheet made everything pretty clear. ​

 +====== ESP32 OTA and Rollbacks - What happens under the hood? ======
 +
 +[[esp32_ota|{{:​esp32:​2blinks.jpg?​direct&​300 |}}]]
 +
 +Over The Air (OTA) provides a way to send firmware to your ESP32 board in the field without the need for a cable and physical access to the device.
 +
 +The purpose of this article is to manually step through the various stages of the OTA process and illustrate the state of the ESP32 at each stage. ​

 +====== "Right To Repair"​ - the problem in a name  ======
 +[[right_to_repair|{{:​repairs:​open-for-mod.jpg?​direct&​300 |}}]]I am a huge fan of repairing electronic equipment. It's a fun activity and very satisfying preserving good gear and bringing things back to life. 
 +
 +As such, I am a supporter of movements like the Right To Repair in most respects to encourage people to reduce their electronic waste and learn valuable skills.
 +
 +But... sometimes there can be a problem in a name.

 +====== Ember Auto-tracking Object Arrays - Deep Dive ======
 +
 +[[ember-autotracking-object-arrays|{{:​ember:​ember-title-card.jpg?​nolink&​300 |}}]]There will be many times when an Ember application needs to work with simple temporary data (POJOs), but setting up models and working with Ember Data's store might be overkill.
 +
 +The user might still want to bind this data to controls and have it perform dynamically when the data changes.
 +
 +Let's explore some easy options.

 +====== Great Shiny GS-2000 (modification) ======
 +
 +[[gs_2000_home_theatre_modification|{{:​repairs:​gs2000:​back-feature.jpg?​direct&​300 |}}]] 
 +
 +I've owned this interesting GS-2000 "PC Home Theatre System"​ for many years. ​ It's a rarer configuration. but I've never been happy the way that it clunks when turning on due to the inrush current. ​
 +
 +My plan is to add a thermistor on one of the AC lines to soften the inrush AC current before it hits the transformer.

 +====== Deploying an open, insecure .NET Core WebAPI to a Plesk host ======
 +
 +[[dotnetcore_webapi_to_windows_plesk|{{:​webapi:​webapi-to-plesk.png?​nolink&​200 |}}]]
 + You might be keen to try your hand at creating a .NET Core WebAPI, but where to host it? Azure or AWS seems to be the first choice for just about everyone, but there have been Windows-based web hosts of all flavours way before the big boys came along. And they can host .NET Core projects just fine.
 +
 +At the very least, the process to test your host should be fairly straight forward. And I'll provide some troubleshooting along the way in case you encounter any problems.
