It was great to chat to you Mick, thanks for having us on :smiley:

This was the first version of the emonTx V1 PCB that we hand etched in 2011!

Very soon after we moved to a pre-made emonTx V2 PCB, but still using through-hole soldered components, there’s still a few of these V2s still running today.

Thanks to everyone who’s played a part in this journey, it’s really been a community effort :folded_hands:

In the episode, we also mention recent hardware developments from @awjlogan, who’s raised the hardware to the next level! Here’s the current emonPi3 :partying_face:

We also have exciting hardware developments from @awjlogan for the emonTH and emonHP in the works :eyes:

I used one only a few days ago to test the software modifications to the RFM69Pi for it to work with the LowPowerLabs radio protocol.

(As far a I know, Mick and I aren’t related.)

Someone buy them a microphone!

Having done sound for a living (in the dim and distant past), I concur.

It’s very disappointing that the sound is so poor. We have got a good standalone desktop mic, but we didn’t realise the gain was turned down too low. Lesson learned. Very sorry, it’s a painful listen :face_with_peeking_eye:

At least it’s not go pro footage in the hobbit :joy:
