Most technology Instructables are fun to construct, and often easy to build. This is one that shares those features, but also solves a practical problem we had. To prevent fading of furniture, carpet, and the wood flooring in our foyer, my spouse and I installed one-way blackout shades. However, after installation and use, a problem […]

IV-27M Alarm Clock Project date: March 2019 – May 2019 Overview After the successful completion of the XIV Nixie Clock which was Direct/Static Driven, I was keen to start work on a new clock which was based on the Multiplexing(Dynamic) or “MUX” principle of operation, known also as “Muxing”. The new clock would be based

Still on the journey to complete an “upcoming project”, “ESP32 NTP Temperature Probe Cooking Thermometer With Steinhart-Hart Correction and Temperature Alarm” is an Instructable showing how I add an NTP temperature probe, piezo buzzer and software to my capacitive touch Instructable “ESP32 Capacitive Touch Input Using “Metallic Hole Plugs” for Buttons” to create a simple
In my previous project, I developed a smart bathroom scale with Wi-Fi. It can measure user’s weight, display it locally and send it to the cloud. You can get more details about this on link below: https://www.instructables.com/id/Wi-Fi-Smart-Scale-with-ESP8266-Arduino-IDE-Adafrui/ This solved part of my problems: how to keep a record of my weight and track my gain

Hoping to reduce my late-night smartphone use, I got a vintage alarm clock for next to my bed. This beautiful mechanical flip clock has just one problem: a truly horrifying alarm sound. (Witness the first video above.) It’s no wonder what this clock isn’t being used anymore – it’s basically unusable as an alarm; it

This Instructable is to build a very smart, talking campsite security system that is disguised in an owl decoy. Now, this isn’t your typical Arduino ultrasonic distance sensing project. Rather, you will learn how to reverse engineer the very inexpensive, but far superior automotive bumper backup sensors for very wide beams of detection. You’ll also learn how
