Just rings for now, going to expand functionality later to handle authentication for unlocking the door and maybe other things lol

Next, you’ll need to make your doors slide open, with a “shoosh” sound effect as well.

Super cool project!!

It gets expensive after a while paying the two dudes to stand there all day and move them.

Oh believe me, I’ve spent a decent chunk of time exploring ways to make it practical, I haven’t find any good way to pull it off for most doors in my house unfortunately :(

Maybe if I ever get to the point where I can have a new house built…

At his old company, my dad got a 500€ bonus because he wrote a MS Outlook macro to automate some specific email to excel and/or calendar data transfer (I think, been a while). As my dad is a huge TNG fan (initiating me into the fandom at a young age after literally naming me in part after his fav captain), the UI was obviously also based on LCARS.

That’s great but who is your dad’s favorite captain? Everyone wants to know.

The first half of my first name is Jean. And if it weren’t for my mum, the second half would be Luc

Well that’s a good choice for fav captain. Hard to argue with JLP.

Please be sure to ground it, there are too many unnecessary console deaths.

Don’t worry, it should be fine as long as the EPS relays don’t overload, but what are the chances of that happening lmao

And install fuses! Apparently that technology was lost in the 23rd century.

Create post

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
