ESP Now Rainstick

ESP-Now Rainstick

This fun little project will allow you the trivial joy of letting a electronic network announce that you have rain! The AI controlled, tear eliciting price’d Tesla has been rumored to have sensors that awaken the windshield wipers at the onset of rain. Being in a fully glass-enclosed cabin you would think that the obviousness […]

Measure Pressure With Your Micro bit

Measure Pressure With Your Micro:bit

The following instructable describes a easy to build and inexpensive device to perform pressure measurements and demonstrate Boyle’s law, using the micro:bit in combination with the BMP280 pressure/temperature sensor. Whereas this syringe/pressure sensor combination has already been described in one of my previous instructables, the combination with the micro:bit is offering new opportunities, e.g. for class

3 Axis Magnetic Field Sensor

3-Axis Magnetic Field Sensor

Wireless power transfer systems are well on their way to replacing conventional wired charging. Ranging from tiny biomedical implants all the way to wirelessly recharging huge electric vehicles. An integral part of the research on wireless power is minimizing the magnetic field density. The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) provides scientific advice and

Fancy LED Hat

Fancy LED Hat

I’ve always wanted to do an Arduino project, but never had any great ideas for one until my family was invited to a fancy hat party. With two weeks lead time, I was curious if I could both plan and execute a motion sensitive LED animation hat. Turns out I could! I probably went a

HOMEBREW ESPRESSO MAKER MODDING WITH GAGGIUINO

HOMEBREW ESPRESSO MAKER MODDING WITH GAGGIUINO

For those that don’t know, Gaggia is a company that produces a line of affordable “entry-level” espresso coffee makers that offer good quality consumer espresso machines at reasonable prices. The entry level machines don’t offer fine grained control over temperature, pressure and steam which is where the Gaggiuino project comes in. The Gaggiuino project is an “after
