For Lufthansa (and therefore also Air France / most EU–US routes under ICAO rules) the current rules are: ✔️ Power banks allowed Max 2 power banks per passenger Must be…
…..or more accurately moth-balling = the six solar cooker petals might see the light of day again…..possibly….if one day I am in a forgiving mood. There is a story in…
So far, the design has developed as far as the use of an UKRAA PicoMuon muon detector and a power bank providing many hours of 5V power and ability to…
15 June 2026: Purchased Lidl Ultimate speed power bank with compressor UPK 10 H5. Provides 5V and 12V outputs. Tests at LRO have shown the power bank remains switched on…
They’re usually called “keep-alive loads” or “dummy loads” (less commonly “load resistors”). In practice you’ll see them sold under a few more consumer-friendly names: What they do Most power banks…
Yes — but with an important caveat: the stock CosmicWatch v2 firmware was not originally designed to reliably do full SD logging and OLED display updates “in parallel” without trade-offs,…
Right — this is the bit that trips most people up, but it’s straightforward. CH340 is not a “USB drive”. It’s the USB-to-serial chip driver your Arduino Nano clone uses…
# NonOfficial-StuffForCosmicWatchMuonDetectors Extra code and stuff I (Jotham Gates) have made/adapted for Spencer Axiani’s Cosmic Watch Desktop Muon Detector V2 The official website can be found at (http://www.cosmicwatch.lns.mit.edu/) The official…
What format does Arduino use for SD cards? Arduino (including CosmicWatch-style data loggers) doesn’t define its own SD format — it relies on the SD card being formatted in a…
I have accessed Jotham Gates Githib site – how do I now load his firmware onto my Cosmic Watch v2 muon detector? Good — if you’ve already reached Jotham Gates’…
