My favourite computer ergonomics hack
Jacob Vosmaer's blog My favourite computer ergonomics hack 2024-12-31 In this post I will talk about my favourite computer ergonomics hack, a DIY device I call "The Beeper". Background I built the Beeper almost 8 years ago but I have never written a blog post about it and I thought it might be interesting.
Inside the enclosure are an Adafruit Feather Huzzah ESP8266 development board, a momentary switch and a piezo buzzer. The high level description is that this script blinks an LED every 10s to show that the microcontroller hasn't halted and it starts a TCP server on port 5678. As a closing thought I want to acknowledge and thank my wife for pointing out to me that I sit still too much and for putting up with the horrible screeching noises from the Beeper for the past 8 years and counting.
