#TIL If you update the firmware of your ebike's #Rohloff E-14 electronic shifter, make sure to also update the #Bosch software on your bike. Otherwise, you might end up with a non-responsive shifter stuck in first gear and a grey “--” symbol instead of the selected gear on your Bosch display. 😬

(Luckily, updating the Bosch software after the Rohloff firmware turned everything back to normal.)

I was looking forward to trying the new #Bosch PM2.5 sensor (BVM080); it sounded like a real advance over previous sensors. I got it set up today and I'm really not pleased:
- Closed source with a restrictive license makes it a black box that's hard to work with (I knew this in advance)
- Seemed to work for a bit, now just gives all zero readings
- Comes to life randomly to give overly high readings
- Complains if anything is within 20cm of the sensor, yet the sensing area is supposed to be 5mm
