Maybe you guys knew this already but I just discovered that Canaduino (an Arduino clone maker) and Universal Solder are both brands/companies operated by the same fellow in Windsor Ontario.

He is only an hour away from my farm and a block from my daughter's house.

Nice fellow. Working on some cool projects. Helped me source a breakout board.
 
I've ordered stuff from them before. Much nicer to have a company in-country, who actually cares, than order everything off eBay. Will definitely order from him again when needing something he carries.
 
I believe he just moved to Ontario. Used to be in Sask. I think. At least I'm pretty sure that's where I ordered from before. And yes. Nice to support locals.
 
Bought lots of goodies from him, always reasonable pricing and delivery is quick.

You have a good memory John!

Yes, universal solder was started in Saskatchewan and moved to Windsor Ontario after that.

I do like their product lineup and their pricing.

I just bought a Canaduino Black Pill ESP32 & a few other parts for it to get started on a precision planting platform I would like to design for my corn/bean planter.

I'm pretty sure I'll be posting more about this hardware/software project in the months to come. Lots of parts and systems to design and make.
 
Fairly steady. Different mentality here than Calgary….. people live simpler , do with less and support local when possible. Kind of an awareness of an ecosystem of money.

Harvest was good out here, potash mining is full speed
 
Since we're talking about the Universal Solder I thought I'd report I managed to program the ESP32-CAM I bought from them (through Amazon due to cheaper shipping).
The software is from Elektor Magazine (Jan 2023).
It's leaned up against an end table pointed towards the TV. USB cable to laptop for diagnostics. Laptop uses browser to go to web page served up by the module over WiFi.
All pretty cool.
