Or it could be that Boris was telling the truth after all, i.e. he does not go to parties in Downing street, so no-one invited him.

Apparently there is going to be a party in Downing street. I wonder if Boris is invited ?

The TFT with touch uses 8 IO pins so you would need a micro with a fair number of IO pins .......................... Arduino themselves do a number of boards with enough IO pins, but they tend not to be low cost. The Pi Pico RP2040 might be worth a look, low cost, plenty of pins, Arduino and...

The large bit is the bought alarm, the small plastic box the XIAO board is in was purchased, CamdenBoss RX2KL05/S-1, I got 5 boxes for £5.70 on eBay.

Thats OK for breadboard stuff, but the XIAO boards are fairly easy to assemble as surface mount, the pads are quite big, and this makes for a real small easy build board. The link was posted by @guerney The original transmitter\receiver board was this; Which I dont have any problem...

Well, one Arduino compatible worth looking at are the Seeeduino XIAO boards, especially the SAMD21 variant, small and power efficient. I was just yesterday looking at changing the receiver for my LoRa based 'Cycle Alarm Extender' project across for a surface mount board using ATmega328P to a...

At last an Arduino topic ! Why an ESP32 in particular, its a bit power hungry I would have thought. Its 3.3V logic, which is good, but there are smaller, more power friendly Arduino compatible boards out there.

Do they have liquid nitrogen in the freezer aisle at supermarkets ? What do I look for, frozen chips and vegtables etc are easy to find ?

What is interesting about that comment, from the London Fire Brigade, is the use of the word 'correct' which implies some sort of legal requirement. So is there a legal requirement for Lithium (eBike\eScooter) batteries sold or even just used in the UK ?

Indeed not, no chance with the UK Governments support of a let companies rip off consumers approach and no right to repair.

Maybe this standard; https://www.intertek.com/energy-storage/battery-safety/iec-62133/ I recently came across a UK supplier of Lithium batteries claiming thier batteries met that standard.

A ban does seem likely at some point. One battery fire on a train will do it and under current regimes where consumers can buy or build and use whatever they like, its only a matter of time. Standardised batteries would allow drop off and pickup of batteries at stations, but that seems an...

Thats actually a possibility. Say 5 rapid pulls on a lever to activate the 'mode' then a right & left code to do something, a stealth speed restriction switch maybe ................. "No Officer, there is no switch to disable the speed restriction".

If the local 'street' party is indoors that does not mean you are allowed to use your outdoor eBike there.

Going to try the kit as supplied first, but I already have an in-line sensor ready to fit to the lighter Aceoffix levers. Aceoffix brake lever + inline sensor = 48g Kit supplied brake lever with sensor = 112g

Problems with gears As mentioned earlier, I had switched the rear wheel from a 3 speed Sturmey Archer hub gear setup to a 2 speed rear Brompton wheel. This 2 speed wheel is around 600g lighter over a 3 speed hub gear setup and ought to be good enough, with electric assist, for eBrompton on most...

Wrap it in that thin white packing foam that you keep chucking out ? And you can buy thin rubber self adhesive foam.

There is a re-'cycling' opertunity here. If we used vegtable oil on our chains, when we clean them the gunge could maybe be re-cycled and sold to the local chipie for frying stuff. But would that add a bit of metalic flavour to the chips ?

Unfortuantly, whilst many consumers would in general say they support 'buy British' in reality they expect stuff to be cheap and mostly dont care where its built. If Brompton were starting off now, and manufacturing in Britian, they probably would not survive as their product would be...

Fair point. If you banned food and given time, the number of deaths by choking would fall to zero.
