Show HN: I made a tiny camera with super long battery life

Hey HN!<p>A few years ago someone kept trying to steal my motorcycle, so I decided to make a small camera with really long battery life to catch them.<p>The hardware/software is totally open source, but the companion app only supports macOS currently. (I'm a big fan of native apps, and didn't want to block releasing on Linux/Windows support.)<p>I wrote some blog posts about the process:<p>PCB design: <a href="https://toaster.llc/blog/pcb" rel="nofollow">https://toaster.llc/blog/pcb</a><p>Enclosure design: <a href="https://toaster.llc/blog/enclosure" rel="nofollow">https://toaster.llc/blog/enclosure</a><p>Image pipeline: <a href="https://toaster.llc/blog/image-pipeline" rel="nofollow">https://toaster.llc/blog/image-pipeline</a><p>Rainproofing: <a href="https://toaster.llc/blog/rainproofing" rel="nofollow">https://toaster.llc/blog/rainproofing</a><p>Source: <a href="https://github.com/toasterllc/Photon">https://github.com/toasterllc/Photon</a>

Ask HN: What was your most humbling learning moment?

I've worked on large products for large and small companies and written tens of thousands of lines of code across my career, solving complex, abstract, challenging technical problems in a variety of languages on a variety of platforms, sometimes under difficult conditions. I have often been a resource for my friends and co-workers when they have programming or technical questions.<p>I only recently learned how to correctly raise and lower window blinds--I had been doing it wrong my entire life. It was maybe the dumbest I have ever felt, and was a humbling reminder of how much I don't know about how much I don't know.<p>Have you had similar experiences?
