Status: We’re sheltering in place as ordered by the County and getting settled for the long term. The number of cases in Gwinnett Co. have tripled in the last five days to over 180.
Plans: Prescriptions are the task of the day for the wife. (Get enough for the next 90 days.) I’m digging around in my cave for a 10 year old router to see if I can get it on the Internet again.
Narrative: Slept ok, didn’t get to sleep until after midnight and woke up at 04:00 for an hour or so. Checked in with my coworkers and sipp’n a cup of coffee.
Finished work around 11:30 and started working on our “Virtual Doctor” visits. We get an invite on our Cell Phones in an E-Mail message. That starts a browser session to include a video chat. It’s incompatible with the Android browser so I had to change the default browser to Chrome for the session.
Both sessions we were unable to talk to the doctor over the service. We ended up calling on a second device and using the phone for a video feed only. (I could hear the doctor, he couldn’t hear me.) In the end we got our prescriptions without having to expose ourselves to the Doctor’s office!
Took a pretty long nap and did a quick check my company E-Mail before working on my NodeMCU’s for today.
I’ve ordered about eight of these boxes. They are water resistant (They call dust resistant) and are of a good size to house the NodeMCU and the I/O boards I need. This one node can measure five voltages, the temp and humidity inside the box and control four high power peripherals over a WiFi connection. I had previously researched metal boxes, but the NodeMCU is a WiFi device. (RF transparent box needed.)
We watched “Hidden Figures” together, we had to buy it since it wasn’t on Amazon Prime or Netflix. Good movie for an evening with the wife.
Tomorrow: Wednesday, work and shelter in place.
