I have been using wz_mini_hacks [1] on my Wyze V3 and have been pretty happy with it. Among other things, it has a “self-hosted” mode which patches the binaries running on the camera to no longer phone home to Wyze servers. I’ve been using it on my local network over RTSP with no issues.
I think the coolest part about the Nook Color that made it an excellent tinkering device was the fact that if a bootable image was present on the micro SD card, it would always load the image over whatever was on the system's eMMC. The Nook Color was therefore essentially un-brickable as recovery was always possible via SD.
I just wished that the DT series of connectors included some denser connectors with smaller pins. We use 13 pin/socket autosport connectors all over the vehicle just because the equivalent DTM connector takes up much more room.
Thank you for posting this article. I'm in charge of the electronics package of a Formula SAE team, and our wiring harnesses follow many of the practices found in this guide. I personally have been astounded by the fact that many of the assumptions we make with hobbyist-grade electronics go out the window when designing for motorsports. You can expect to find that at some point, water/fuel/oil/brake fluid will fall on your wiring. Seemingly sturdy connections will only misbehave under specific conditions such as high-speed cornering, making them difficult to debug.
Another thing I've also found shocking is how quickly the expenses can rack up. The Deutsch Autosport connectors listed in the article almost universally start at around $30-40 per connector. Heatshrink products are also very pricey, with the additional downside that if you make a mistake in the manufacturing process there is no way to re-use them once they've been cut off.
