Troubleshooting loop signal search loop Husqvarna Automower.
What if one day the search loop of the robotic mower is interrupted. If you have just dug around in the garden, it is relatively easy to search for the problem area, but it is different when the mower no longer has a loop signal without any obvious external influence. The LED on the charging station then no longer lights up green, but flashes in the color blue or yellow on the 305/308 models. Exactly this fate has befallen me several times. I read a long time ago that the search loop can be foun... ... continue reading

Since the data on a single device it not secure anyway, a NAS could additional... ... continue reading
Raspberry Pi startup

There are also more specialized images for automation tasks, for example as a supplement for controlling a 3D printer, or for... ... continue reading
BIOS Error Codes Beep Codes, Beep Tones: AMI PHOENIX AWARD
If the computer runs into an error, where it can no longer control the screen, the BIOS may still express itself with beeps (beep codes).

In order to be able to interpret the tones correctly, it is therefore important to know which BIOS variant is in use. This information can be found in... ... continue reading
