1. TRYING TO MEASURE THE SPEED OF LIGHT WITH AN ARDUINO We know that measuring the speed of light with an Arduino is possible. It’s just that the implementation is hard. Last month we saw [Udo]’s blinkenlight shield that can be used as a line scan camera. It’s a neat piece of kit, but [Udo] really wants to […]

The cool thing about an ACS712 is that current is measured is measured in two directions. What this means is that if we sample fast enough and long enough, we sure to find the peak in one direction and the peak in another direction. With both peaks known, it is a matter of knowing the

Hello everyone ! Today I’m going to show you how I built this little kitchen scale during this lockdown ! It can measure weights up to several kilograms, has an included battery, a nice display and can even be turned into a connected scale thanks to the the ESP8266. I used a 20Kg load cell,

pierre.carles@sorbonne-universite.fr, January 2021 Here, we propose an open-source, portable, autonomous, cheap and easy-to-use device to monitor and record the concentration of CO2 in ambiant air in real-time. Using CO2 as a proxy for respiratory aerosols, the device can help define best practices regarding the ventilation of closed space (an important anti-Covid19 measure). Starting from early

VO2Max is an interesting concept that proposes that there is a natural limited ability to extract Oxygen nutrient out of the air and consume it. It is like the IQ of sports activities–some algorithm that tells you how gifted you are in doing a variety of athletic contests. It was worked on at the beginning

company UNI-Trend is a near relative to the UT203. multimeter. Already UT203 provides a lot of user comfort and a very pleasant feature – measuring of a DC current without interrupting a measured circuit. However UT204 is different from its “weaker” brother in one essential thing – it enable measuring of a true RMS value
UT204 is able to measure DC current and also True RMS Read More »
This tutorial provides a guide on how to set up an Arduino to measure the capacitance of a capacitor. This can be useful if the capacitor is unlabeled or if it is self-built. Capacitance is an object’s ability to store an electric charge. Reasonably, this object is referred to as a capacitor. A capacitor that

The latest addition to STMicroelectronics’ portfolio of environmental sensors, the UVIS25 provides a direct digital output of UVI (ultraviolet index)—the international measurement of the strength of ultraviolet radiation, primarily from the sun, at a given place and time. Aimed at wearable devices, smart-phone, and tablet applications, the UVIS25 is sensitive to UV waves in the
