I want to go and love in North Wales. Currently 8 Hawks flying around the top west bit, 3 pairs flying very close and 2 elsewhere. And another 4 in other parts of the UK.
Is Wales the best place for loving? I always favoured Bristol, maybe even Hull, but I suppose it's that North Wales coastline that makes the place so appealing for people wanting to love. I mean, who couldn't resist Rhyl and its penny arcades and I've heard the Anglesey Sea Zoo proffers many a dark nook and cranny to get loved up in.
I decided I wanted to fit some speakers in the bathroom, but that meant I needed something to drive them.
Bought a fairly cheap TPA3116 based amplifier with Bluetooth and decided an RPi running Volumio was the best option. Whilst the Bluetooth sounds great I don't like how it functions and takes control of the amplifier. I also wanted to use other inputs on the amp which would mean buying a switch, but I wanted to be able to control the switch from the RPi.
After a bit of searching around I found out about the 74HC4066N which is a controllable analogue switch IC and they're only 35p each!!
Turns out it works quite well and I've made a prototype of a 2 input switch
