Heard across a street. Highly intelligent. A bike alarm like no other! $210 CAD. Direct from manufacturer: $120 CAD.
Due to the crisis in the supply of electronic components, I have had to look for substitute parts. It’s been an endless hunt for vendors/suppliers, and prices. Availability and prices change overnight. Even when I successfully order parts, the vendor cancels on me before shipping!
Some parts have become far too expensive. Micro-controllers are a prime example of this. Forced to change the CPU, I’ve had to struggle to adapt the PCB design, and the development environment. The latter, in particular, caused much despondence, as nothing seemed to work. (Yes, embedded systems’ development environments are a far more complex, and consequential, affair than that of developing a desktop application.)
Things have started to work, so I am back on adding some additional code, before hopefully tackling the enclosure again.
