It feels great being able to put my code on a small, low-powered, resource-constrained Microcontroller and have it solve a specific problem I have... or just do fun little projects. After all, it's why I got into programming in the first place. https://blog.mrcsharp.dev/post/2024-01-28-controlling-my-ac-unit-with-nanoframework/ Wed, 12 Apr 2023 21:22:36 +1000 https://blog.mrcsharp.dev/post/2024-01-28-controlling-my-ac-unit-with-nanoframework/ My room's AC unit (Panasonic) is quite old.

Since then, I have been tinkering with IoT and embedded devices using C# to connect with sensors and play around with them.
