Why another spot welder project? Building a spot welder is one of the (arguably few) cases in which you can build something for a fraction of the price of the commercial version with comparable quality. And even if build-before-buy were not a winning strategy, it is a lot of fun! So I decided to embark

Climate Change, a highly debated high school topic, but do we really care about it? We see politicians, scientists, researchers, philanthropists, conservationists and almost everyone blaming each other for every climate catastrophe occurring today. The real question is what climate change or change are we talking about? CliSensio – Climate Sensing and Insect Infestation Control is

This sketch demonstrates Internet-based remote communication using a companion ‘bridge’ program running on the attached host which sends and receives messages via an online MQTT server. This allows connecting one Arduino to another over arbitrary distances, which we can use as a starting point for building collaborative telepresence. Full Source Code The full code is

Definition A current clamp is an instrument used to measure the number of amperes passing through a conductor. The electrical device comes with jaws that open when brought close to the electrical conductor to allow it to clamp. This feature eliminates the need for the current clamp to make physical contact with the current-conducting wire

If you’ve even seen a fake candle you have probably noticed how it doesn’t look realistic. Whether you’re trying to add some atmosphere to a dinner or light up a jack’o-lantern, your choices are limited. A real candle has a fire hazard, but a fake candle will look tacky. If only there were a safe
