I just updated my YOLO RTSP Security Cam Python App. Now it can handle disconnected cameras. Up until now the program would halt if your camera disconnects, requiring you to restart the program. But now after this update, if the camera disconnects then the program will print a message indicating this and it will automatically try to reconnect every 5 seconds. If you've been following this project then test it out, let me know how it goes, and feel free to ask any questions!

Several months ago I made a guide showing how to install ROCm on Linux but these steps are outdated now. AMD has changed the installation instructions for the drivers and ROCm packages so I've updated my website to reflect these changes and I'll be making a new video going over this soon. For now here's the updated written guide:  https://phazertech.com/tutorials/rocm.html

Was working on my LED pickguard prototype today and thought I'd share a gut shot. That green PCB is a battery charger and boost regulator. Unfortunately it's been draining the battery even when the device is turned off. Turns out this is a fairly common issue with this model:  https://www.amazon.com/AITRIP-Lithium-Battery-Charger-Adjustable/dp/B08GWTBD3T/ 

Update: I replaced the battery charger with one that doesn't have any issues. It works great. I haven't tested all 6 that came in the pack, but I know at least 2 of them work fine. Given their low cost they *might* be worth it, but it's a gamble since you don't know how many out of the 6 will be good or not.

Just posted a new guide on my website showing how to setup the open source Python library for the Turing Smart Screen sensor panel:  https://phazertech.com/tutorials/turing-smart-screen.html 
I previously made a video reviewing this handy little panel and found it to be quite good for the price, it's only $20 on AliExpress. I might be making another video about it in a few weeks and go over this guide since it will probably be handy for future projects that use SBCs!
