It doesn’t feel like the AC is able to regulate the temperature to what we set. But, humans are often wrong about these kind of things. A simple thermometer would have done the trick - but we need time-series temperature data to verify the AC function. Enter - the Raspberry pi pico. It has a built-in ambient temperature sensor and supports micropython.https://coffeeandcontemplation.dev/post/2020-12-27-what-i-learned-from-doing-dishes/Sun, 27 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000dev@gmail.com (dev)https://coffeeandcontemplation.dev/post/2020-12-27-what-i-learned-from-doing-dishes/I woke up today and was welcomed by a mountain of dishes in the sink.
