For this project, I wanted to create an interaction that would seamlessly combine the natural and the digital to make a cohesive project which sparked wondering and curiosity. I was inspired by the idea of a fairy garden and wanted to make a plant that would produce the same enchantment. I planned this project around […]

This instructable is part of the course Physical Interaction and Realization at KTH, Royal Institute of Technology. We are going to teach you how to build two, quite organic and interactive plant-lamps, Thorulf and Svamp. Thorulf is a plant with flex sensors and LEDs while Svamp is a collection of mushrooms with circular force sensors. They are connected via Bluetooth and

Over the last few articles, we have covered the use of ESP8266 boards for building several WiFi based projects. For today’s tutorial, we will look at it’s recently released successor; the ESP32. As mentioned in previous tutorials, ESP-12e module popularly referred as the nodeMCU came at a time where makers were struggling with the difficulties around the use of the ESP-01 modules. The ESP-01 modules were not breadboard
GETTING STARTED WITH ESP32 Continue Reading
It detects stationary and moving people just like a PIR, but it can do that also behind doors and thin walls, by taking advantage of the Doppler effect. The detection of people, animals and hot bodies in general has been done for years using passive infrared radars, also known as PIR, which work by placing
