The tractor battery swap mostly works, but it's weird. The blade motors run just fine, but the wheel motors run very slowly at full charge and slowly speed up. I don't know if it's an issue with the ESCs (same ESCs as the blade ones), the control CPU, or perhaps the accelerator position sensor. May have to do some detailed debugging.

A while back, we were discussing display options for a plant watering sensor. It occurred to me I could make a smile/frown display pretty easily and said "I just need some rubber tubing and a servo!" My friend Chris grinned at me and replied "If I had a nickel for every time someone said that to me!"

@mavica_again Yeah, that paperclip. I thought it would attach the image. Later I figured out I can just drag an image into my post.

Guessed wrong on how to include a picture (apparently the paper clip icon isn't it) on my last post about replacing my tractor batteries with lithium iron phosphate.

@dangeousenby I came home once and noticed one of the bushes in front of my house had turned a silvery color. I had a closer look and saw it had been completely encased in spiderwebs. Then I saw why: the bush contained a similarly sized hornet nest, which the spiders had methodically emptied out.

While watching a Bigclive video, the audio cut out. Sure enough, the power supply is blinking. Having watched many Bigclive videos, I have a pretty good idea what's wrong. I carve open the power supply, repair a few bad solder joints, and now I'm back in business!
