I was looking into the LCD Controller Board I have. I received it a couple of weeks ago and it basically works and has the connectors for the LCD screen I have, but I didn't read the eBay ad closely enough and apparently the resolutions and screen ratios are programmed into the controller board and the one I bought had a 1280x800 resolution programmed into it so a black bar appeared on the right. This time I ordered from Aliexpress because the stated shipping times looked much faster (12-20 days as opposed to 24-59 days on eBay). I plan to use the board I have for now and will just swap it out when I get the new one. Also, it turns out that I will be getting another LCD that's 1280x800, but I'm not 100% sure it will be compatible as there are some EDID settings from my research that may not quite match up, but I can hope.

I got the Alexa Sample app going on the Raspberry Pi and it works great. I want to hook up a neopixel strip so it can show volume and if it's waiting on me to talk or if the microphone is off. I got a sample app with the neopixel running in python, but I need to get it running in C++. This is more a project I'm working on as time permits.

Now that the nozzle is replaced on my 3D printer, it's working so much better. I went to go print a mega-print, but after 5 hours, I noticed it had half lifted from the print bed. I decided to try a brim on my print to give it more surface area to stick and that did the trick. I was able to complete the power supply holder with socket and switch. I also printed off the camera mount for my car. I cleaned it up, but haven't had a chance to try installing it yet.

I had one of the relays on my OctoPower box go out. Actually, it's probably been defective for a while. Basically it won't turn on if most of the other relays are on, but it will work if it's turned on before the others. I ordered another 8-Relay board and will swap that out. If I have another relay stop functioning correctly, I'll migrate one of the good relays from the current board. Since I was only using 7 of the outlets, I migrated the other devices to working outlets and updated the configuration in OpenHab,
