  16. postFrogDash: A Digital Dash I Built for My Foxbody Mustang

    A Raspberry Pi digital instrument cluster for my turbo Foxbody, and the engineering behind it: a shared CAN contract, MLG logging, trial-and-rollback updates, ignition power handling and firmware over CAN.

  17. projectFrogDash: Digital Dash for My Foxbody Mustang

    A custom 12.3-inch, 1920×720 Raspberry Pi 4 dashboard with live CAN data, GPS, GPIO, data logging, TunerStudio, UPS power protection, and purpose-built water/meth and knock monitoring.

  18. projectHomelab and OpenClaw

    A private operations platform built from repurposed PCs, Tailscale, Docker, local AI, monitoring, verified backups and an OpenClaw assistant reached through Telegram.

  19. postHomelab Journey Introduction

    I trace how my self-hosted website grew into a homelab for dashboards, media, cloud storage, automation, security, and IoT monitoring.

  20. postHomelab Update: OpenClaw, Local AI and What Changed

    What changed in my homelab since the first post: Tailscale, separated machine roles, an OpenClaw assistant I run it with from Telegram, local AI models, verified backups and a website that now builds from Markdown.
