Managing Multiple Exchange Email Accounts in Outlook

Outlook is a pain in the balls.

When you have multiple Exchange email accounts, there is no way to have unique autoarchive settings for each of them, which is a fucking problem because they will end up getting merged into a single .pst file if you aren’t careful. However, there is a secret way to make it easier to manually archive them to separate.

Arduino Datalogger

There are a number of existing options out there.

A basic SD card datalogger Tutorial from the official Arduino site. The creators wrote an open-access article published in the journal Sensors in 2018.

A harsh environment datalogger from the Cave Pearl Project.

Neither of these solutions provides a real-time GUI capability via attached PC. There are some other projects out there that do:

Instrumentino is a graphical user interface (GUI) for the Arduino developed by us, which allows setting of parameters as well as monitoring of signals in a panel displayed on the computer. The GUI was written in Python, a programming language which is easy to learn and has powerful libraries for complex tasks such as displaying time dependent signals. As any Python module, Instrumentino runs on all major platforms (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux).

MegunoLink is a customizable interface tool for Arduino sketches. Configure MegunoLink projects from our set of visualizers to send commands and receive data from your Arduino program to control the interface, and from MegunoLink to control your sketch.


The MegunoLink window can be reconfigured to suit your application with our dockable visualizers, like Visual Studio or Altium. There are visualizers for interface panel, serial monitor, tables, plotting, and more…

There’s a large list on the official Arduino site that showcases projects for allowing Arduino to communicate with other software systems (like iPhones, PCs, etc.).

d1wang’s footprint calculator

A DipTrace user “d1wang” made a nifty HTML & Javascript tool to automatically generate footprints for a QFN-28 with exposed pad:

The source code is here:

Looks promising. Accuracy needs to be verified and everything, and there does not appear to be a user-friendly way to convert the image into a usable CAD format, but it should be relatively easy to modify the code to do that.
