    Nokia gems.

    I use an old phone for calls, smartphone for the rest. Battery lasts days. However, just verify that your network supports the signal in your area. In some of the smaller towns, they have turned off 2G support so I cannot pick up any signal, e.g. on Telkom. Vodacom works fine.

    Load Shedding!!!

    Maybe some can share their system details (thanks Wolla), for a household (monthly usage around 600kWh), so 5-6kW inverter with compatible batteries? I know there's lots of options, but for the guys who have had installations running for about 3-5 years with good experiences, perhaps share...

    Crossover for Bookshelf Speakers

    Hi I wish to use bookshelf speakers from an old hi-fi system, but find that the amp section had two separate outputs to drive the woofer and tweeter separately.  I'm looking at one of the Raspberry Pi HATs that includes an amp (specifically the IQaudio DigiAMP+, 2x35W).  Do I need to install a...

    Raspberry Pi - Sound Card with Amplifier

    Hi Has anyone had experience in using one of the 'integrated' amplifiers with a Raspberry Pi, e.g. the IQaudio DigiAMP+ ?  I'm not expecting sound quality to be as good as the DAC Pro and external amp, but for convenience and size, this is quite nifty. Or do you have suggestions for something...
