serial-typewriter VS emonpi

I sadly can't solve the transistor crisis, but my Hackaday.io project page and GitHub repo might have enough information to point you in the right direction. I'm also working on turning my code into a library so it's even easier to work with, let me know if you have any questions!

The source code and the KiCAD project files are available on GitHub.

If you want more context for how this is supposed to work, or you want to see the code, check out my GitHub repository. I've also made some videos about the project. Let me know if there's anything I can clarify or any more pictures I should include! Thanks for the help!

The source code and circuit diagram are available [on GitHub](https://github.com/artillect/serial-typewriter)..)

The source code and circuit diagram can be found in my GitHub repository.

If you want to see how it works in more detail, check out [my first video on it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvhT_Bru0AA)..) The source code is [available on GitHub](https://github.com/artillect/serial-typewriter)..)

Hey guys, I've made some updates to the code for my typewriter project since my post last week, and now I can print out much bigger pieces of ASCII art. The source code and circuit diagram are available on my GitHub repository.

If you want to see how it works, I made a video about it, and I show off some more of its features and it printing ASCII art. The source code is available on GitHub.

> I'd love to be able to put a wet load of laundry into my drier and press "make sure it's dry by tomorrow morning".

So, I do a bit of this myself, manually. I've got a table of appliances and wattages, both rated and measured (using a Kill-O-Watt). I also have a 6KW (max) solar panel installation, plus I'm on a time-of-data metered plan.

I try to make sure that anything that uses hot water (tankless full electric water heater; 29W rated max) like the dishwasher and shower are done between 1000 and 1400, as that's the highest time of solar insolation during the day, plus the time of day turns over to the highest tier at 1400.

I've bought but not yet installed an eMonPi (https://github.com/openenergymonitor/emonpi), so theoretically I could automate some things to optimize when to run devices. As it is though, by tracking and actively trying to reduce consumption, I've already managed to keep my electricity bill to zero for years, even putting thousands of USD back into the grid (sadly, I do not get money back from this; it only counts as credit, and resets every twelve months).

As for your specific example, I line dry my laundry. I don't see the point of running a space heater (dryer) in my garage; it usually only takes a few hours to dry where I live anyway. The only reason I still have a dryer is for down sleeping bags and coats that have to be fluffed up.
