well if you try to compile again and it throws an error let me know, i might be able to tell you what is causing it. There are some other people using this code as well and i've walked them through it. All those config variables allow them to use on their experiments

code for that "hey there's more ports than i will ever need during my life" board? ๐Ÿ™‚

crude acorn
#

yes, would you believe there is an an add on board that allows 4x (16 more ports)

๐Ÿ™‚ just kidding, cool board, please update on your progress, i'm very much interested

Ports? GPIO?

lapis cipher
#

i have not yet done any math for the possible io needs, need to go clean up the greenhaus, its again a perfect spring weather

#

should probably did some ground cables also during the summer for electricity to there and also to chicken coops, now they are more of a extension cord-connected.. Problem is/was figuring out where to get the electricity out from the mains panel

deft pewter
#

My thoughts exactly ๐Ÿ˜„

clear ferry
crude acorn
#

earlier the better to bury those cables. I ran ethernet and 4 wire alarm cables around my back yard and woods early last year so the grass would come in for the spring.

clear ferry
#

I'm hoping I can control a valve 7 meters away from my greenhouse with an Ethernet cable to that board

#

That would be handy

crude acorn
#

with a relay connected to the port? I can control these with my board.

#

so I have sprinkler valaves connected to these in my back yard

Aye, that was the plan, but now we are actually treading into #diy-archived talk

Five years cramped into three?

Didn't fancy doing my honours project and the other modules and 35 hour work weeks all at once.

#

I didn't fancy any education at all ๐Ÿคฃ

#

We can do a master's in three years here, but it is hard

deft pewter
#

If your profession demands 5-7 years of higher education, you're probably training to be a doctor or a lawyer.

glacial knot
#

5 years is normal masters degree

deft pewter
#

Bachelors = 3 years. Masters is typically 2 years. PhD... the rest of your life ๐Ÿ˜ข

clear ferry
#

Had a friend who did a doctorate in 7 years, I was impressed

deft pewter
#

You mean 5 years for Bachelors and Masters combined, right? Not just for the top-up to Masters?

clear ferry
#

Bachelor no

glacial knot
#

yea, 5 years higher-ed until masters degree is done

#

not 5 years for masters only

clear ferry
#

In the past I think you got an engineer title for bachelor, now you need a master's here I'm sure

#

Had a friend who spent 12 years on his master's, afaik he works at the local gas station now ๐Ÿคฃ

#

I'm not sure how it translates to other countries, but my education is so vocational, I can't even start a bachelor without doing a prep year or two

#

I'm missing what we call "general knowledge education"

glacial knot

to be admissible to higher-ed, or to actually know what you are doing?

clear ferry

Just to be able to apply

dusky plank

I'm better educated than some masters here ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

crude acorn
#

the only way I would do more college is if it gave me a promised significant pay bump. There needs to be a return on all the time and money invested

clear ferry
#

Like my wife says "I don't know anyone as smart as you that are so stupid"

#

I already earn 20-30% more than my friends and colleagues with higher education, so that would be hard

#

Heck, I earn 100% more than some people I know with bachelor's

then aint worth it. i hired out on the RR after my 2 year degree in computer science. friends say I sold out but I'll be retured 5 to 10 years before them

I search for a 5m usb c/tb 3 cable. is there some kind available? Only active ones I see top at 5gbit

is that in spec for USB 3? I think USB has very short max cable-length in the spec

#

yea, it's apparently 2m for USB-3. So anything above that is out of spec

dusky plank

yeah I guess it's just optical from 2m on

so rather expensive

clear ferry

There is also the reason why usb3 didn't include optical in the default cable

Because consumers are idjits

I'm currently working with a customer who has requested a 30 year design life for our product.
After talking with some colleagues about it I decided it was less trouble to just ignore that and design it for 40 years lifespan as usual...

Costs a bit more than a washing machine, though.

#

Well, technically if it has a 40 year lifespan, it has a 30 year lifespan...

Though they did ask for a price on a 10 year design life extension... not quite sure what to say about that.

last cedar
#

Mieles are designed for a lot longer life than 18 months, but you pay for it

clever mortar
#

The answer surely is to charge them the same for 30 as for 40, and then charge an extra 20% for the next 10 years as an idiot tax

yes, like that @glacial knot

from where are you trying to reach the switch? Something behind Lan3?
Have you set that something up to use the tagged vlan?

dusky plank
#

I'm connected via wifi to the router itself

#

which should be vlan1

glacial knot
#

to the router that's on Lan3?

#

oh. So you are configuring the vlans on the router. Now I get it

#

Which switch then? And how do you reach it?

dusky plank
#

switch is on port 3 "lan3"

#

has http ui

glacial knot
#

yea. that is only running on untagged eth

dusky plank
#

i set the switch as such

glacial knot
#

If it's still reachable when configured like that, it's not running the web-ui on the tagged vlan.
My switch has an extra config where I want the web server to be available

dusky plank
#

cannot find such setting for me

#

but yeah, even devices hanging off the switch are off after tagging lan3

brisk glen
#

Do you understand how vlans work?

dusky plank
#

nope

#

thats what I'm trying to figure out

glacial knot
#

you'd have the port connected to your router tagged, the others untagged
Unless again, all devices on that switch understand vlan

brisk glen
#

Okโ€ฆ so vlans are virtual lansโ€ฆ multiple subnets

dusky plank
#

will try that ongy...

brisk glen
#

So how do they talk to each other? They need a device to route them

glacial knot
#

also, check if there's a PVID setting on the switch
mine has that as extra setting. That's where incoming traffic on that port goes

brisk glen
#

So you need a router or a later 3 switch

glacial knot
#

vlan is layer2

brisk glen
#

For vlan routingโ€ฆ. Layer 3 switch or router

dusky plank
#

both are vlan capable

#

apparently

glacial knot
#

But are they configured to expect your network tagged?

brisk glen
#

If you use a router, you need a trunk link with all vlans

#

And the router needs to know about all the vlans to route

dusky plank
#

do you see the screenshots up there ^^

#

ok router has lan3 tagged

#

switch has everything except port to router untagged

#

can reach clients on switch, but not UI anymore

Right, let me make a bunch of layer 2 vlans that canโ€™t talk to each other

You don't

You can do hybrid vlans... Which kinda do two untagged vlans on a funky... Setup

so situation is following:
I have a apple tv behind 2 of those "dumb" switches (hangs on switch 2)
I want that apple tv isolated and only talk to my HA host which is on switch 1 (between router and switch 2) and the internet
what's the best approach for this?

glacial knot
#

yea, my switch has mac and protocol based VLAN (I should look, but it's layer4 capable) so I could do a lot there. But I see 0 need for it

clear ferry
#

Never heard of

#

Unless you are talking about dot1x and auto assignment of vlan

glacial knot
#

it can do that as well. But also other dumb stuff.

#

I.e. I can configure a mac-address and set a vlan for it. So I could put multiple downstream devices on the same port on different vlans
And something protocol based. But the interface isn't too helpful how that works :/

#

I know the ACLs it supports can do IP into Layer4 port filters. So I'd expect the vlan config to do that as well.

#

but I just get "protocol" there. So I guess it's by ethertype

Never seen that before

so I have now a vlan id 3 on my router

everything works on vlan id 1 so far

#

now i want a client on a second switch (client from switch 1 hanging on router) to be on vlan3

#

this is the router, switch 1 is still on lan3, lan3 has vlan 1 and 3 tagged

#

this is switch #1, port 7 is from router, port 8 is to switch #2

my question is - why is the client on port 8, switch #2 not getting a ip by the router and also cannot find it apparently

glacial knot
#

do you have a dhcp server on the vlan?

#

and is it untagged on port8 on the Switch#2?

clear ferry
#

Doesn't have to be untagged to be management vlan

#

As long as the switch knows what vlan to use

dusky plank
glacial knot
#

then I'd check what the router currently does with vlan3. since that's a different network all together

dusky plank
#

oh, i might need to add a new iface for vlan3 ?

glacial knot

dunno how it works with wrt
But you should think of vlan3 the same you think of physical different networks you don't have a switch between.

So you need a 2nd set of dns/dhcp/ip-subnet etc.

what are you trying to do with your vlans?

yea, that protects you. But when the switch shorts you should already have fuses/circuit breakers work

clever mortar
#

Hopefully by that point people have noticed the problem...

deft pewter

And sometimes, your fuse will short before you're dead. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

RCD is a modern thing, and they're so often a piece of junk

#

Either too sensitive, or not sensitive enough

deft pewter
#

Still quicker than fuses though, so that's something.

clever mortar

Yeah, but you can't replace them with spanners...

the fuses in my parent's house are 63A that's not going to help

clever mortar

Main fuse here is 80A

Each circuit has a lower fuse/RCD though

That cow won't be laughing for long.

is that 16A with or without cheese inside?

You got one phase or what?

I think mine is 3x๐Ÿค” let me check

It's 3x63A fuses
Then the counter thingy, then the house-internal breakers

Next you'll say you have something silly like 400V

3x32 here

Hm? Only place that gets access to 400V is the stove
For everything else it's just single phase

Norway has done 400v input 3phase since the early 90s

Usually 64a breaker

I should check if the house got more than 1 ground coming in though. I'm unsure about that one

And unplug whole house with one move?๐Ÿ˜„

Yes

Those are Swedish regs, probably different in other countries

IMO best bet for anything in zone 0 1 or 2 is low voltage IP rated

not even 230, just as an extra safety measure, but probably overkill

Went to Lidl today for some adhoc grocery store needs and of course to check the Silvercrest offering for Zigbee-stuff. Nothing but motion sensors, one lonely hub.. But, found a "regular" sized chips (crisps) from some new to me vender, its only 250g while this "mega" is (only) 305g

So mega. 20% more crisps ๐Ÿค”

i know abroad and i think especially in the uk there's lots of crisps available all around bags are small, it was a shock for me who does that 200-300 g in one go.. ๐Ÿ˜„

"We don't half love crisps. We consume, in Britain, around 6bn packets of them (plus 4.4bn bags of other assorted savoury snacks) annually - that's more than everyone else in Europe put together, around 150 packets for each and every one of us each year"

6bn packets of crisps just in the UK? WTF?

There's only 66 million of us.

That's nuts. That's an average of 100 packets a year. And that doesn't account for the people that don't eat them.

I'll have the occasional portion of nachos and chilli for movie night but I hate crisps.
