I’m working together with my wife. But sometimes one of us has an external appointment. So, if one of us is thinking about the other, we want to show it together. For this, I have made an Love Gauge for us. It stands on our desktop, or you can carry it somewhere else, cause it

I found my self often trying to plug stuff at home with Arduino. So I thought it would be good to have a system that you can just plug your sensor, plug the appliance and code something to see how it goes. I never liked breaking apart an appliance to find the right spot on

In our living room we have a small patch of drop ceiling right in the middle of the room, basically a giant piece of duct tape to cover up bad carpentry. It was constantly getting water damage from what looks like a giant hole in the ceiling above the drop tiles. After roughly a year

Here you will learn how to create an internet controlled robot or other installation using Livebots. Livebots is a project I’m working on which consists of an easy to use website for all the robots that people can interact with through the internet. As an example I will be using a simple Arduino UNO with a LED

I’ve been working on a project that used a 16×2 LCD display and wanted a nice finish that also allowed me to seal against water and other liquids. I also needed impact resistance, low cost and the ability to be changed easily if worn or broken. I considered many different ideas:- 1) A full sheet

In this project I will show you how to build a very simple security system for all kinds of rooms. It might be simple but still effective. It is based around an Attiny85 and uses a reed switch and a key switch as inputs to see whether an intruder has accessed the room. A buzzer
