After successfully hacking the Christmas tree lights with my Arduino Leonardo I realized I had an abandoned project: lots of brand new ATmega328P-PU chips, which are only waiting to be programmed. I knew that an existing Arduino can be used to achieve this but I experienced problems with a Leonardo.

us once again, and I was greeted with not so merry news: the LED lights from last year did not work anymore. Being too late the shops are already closed to buy a new one, but you can't leave your family without the famous look of a Christmas tree. Let's see what we can do about this.2017.04.01

The HP Proliant Microserver was a hit when it appeared on the market. Due to its capabilities it is still a perfect candidate for a low-cost SoHo server, NAS or HTPC. Most users who replaced the stock power supply had problems with the noisy fan and simply fitted a new 1U PSU or swapped the fan itself. For me this was not an option.2017.03.02

In the cold winter days the temperature in the storage building can fall below freezing point. I could use the spare electric oil heater I happen to have, but keeping it running for long months would cost a fortune. It did not take long until I found the famous passive soda can / beer can / pop can solar heaters / furnaces. This is just an other DIY, sharing my experiences during the building process.2016.12.15
