Things are happening

Just a short post to inform that "things are happening", though I'm not posting much to the blog recently.

Caramel identified a problem with updating, as the year is now 2024. I will get onto that; hopefully soon release a Kirkstone-series for 2024, probably that will be 5.6.6. It will have just a few fixes.

I posted recently about the upcoming Yocto/OpenEmbedded Scarthgap-series. The official release won't be until April; however, getting ready. Gradually porting my build recipes, lots of things need fixing, also updating many packages.

The full-suspension solar electric tadpole recumbent trike project is progressing, though slowly. Currently building the front suspension, and intend to post about that soon. Need to do some welding next week, and will try and improve my arc welding from awful to passable.

Putting together a test system setup to test capacity of the two 48V lithium batteries that I now own (20AH NMC and 10AH LFP) -- want to find out how honest the vendors are. Also want to test the solar panels.

Thinking of bring back Quirky Linux; a completely different concept. Intend to post about that soon also.
