Li-Ion BMS – Lithium-Ion Battery Management Systems and large battery packs

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/07/16

Just in case I want to really go off-grid: [WayBack] Li-Ion BMS – Lithium-Ion Battery Management Systems and large battery packs

It has a configuration selector module pointing to companies (even one in The Netherlands) that can help me out.

Via [WayBack] DIY Electric Car Forums – View Single Post – using 18650 cells to make 25kwh battery

Hopefully they are based on 18650 batteries:

Being efficient actually holds you back

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/06/16

A while ago, over some period of time, I found a few related posts on being efficient optimising time management, on both professional and personal levels. Fully going the “optiomal” usually isn’t that a good thing.

Basically, you need slack or idle time. Plenty of it. That improves your agility too.

When you are stuck, use “Oblique strategies – defeat creative block”

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/06/10

Sometimes you are stuck. Then this often helps, even outside the music industry:

[WayBack] Oblique strategies – defeat creative block: Draw random Oblique Strategy cards to break through creative block.

These are disruptive which is the whole point being stuck.

Obey the first and only rule: pick the first card and apply what it says.

  • Do NOT fall for the urge to draw multiple cards.
  • Do NOT make a list of all cards then choose from it.

Both above failures kill the randomness of the above strategy.

More on them at [WayBack] Oblique Strategies – Wikipedia

Logitech remotes for presenting

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/06/01

A few links on Logitech remotes for presenters.

I like how the spotlight can highlight portions of the screen, but I wish it had the LCD display timer of the R800 and R700.

The big problem of the Spotlight seems to be the stability of the Logitech software, both on Windows and on MacOS.

The R series (R800/R700/R500/R400) have lasers that do not reflected well by modern big screens.

A great review of the various presenters is at [WayBack] What’s the Best Logitech Pointer? – R400 vs R700 vs R800 – Sky Tech Lasers.
