Frequency Measurement with Modern AVR Microcontrollers

“How to use the AVR64DD32’s asynchronous counter to measure frequencies beyond 100 MHz Modern AVR microcontrollers have asynchronous counters that can be externally driven to count pulses from 1 Hz to beyond 100 MHz. Over the years I’ve …

Haptic compass belt

“I’ve always wanted to build a compass belt! The idea is to attach a couple of vibration motors to a belt, use a compass sensor to find north, and then to let the motor that points north vibrate! Wearing …

Homemade Smart Watch

“Since they offer so many features in such a small form, smartwatches are incredibly exciting. But what actually distinguishes a cool smartwatch? It is unquestionably its appearance and qualities. Designing and building your own Smartwatch is the best approach to …

How to Motorize a Camera Slider (Battery Powered)

“When making videos with a tripod fluid head, there aren’t that many movements you can do. You’ve got tilt and pan - so basically either a vertical movement or a horizontal movement. Both of these have one common characteristic …

RGB Light Color Mixer

“RGB light color mixer made with Arduino Nano provided by PCBWay. We see the interaction of the primary colors, varying the intensity of each”

Solar Powered Mechanical Light Sensitive Flower

“This project is the design of a mechanical flower which is sensitive to light and moves in the direction of light. I started off in my mind to design a compact one but as always things don’t necessarily go …

Streaming ESP32-CAM Images to Multiple Browsers via MQTT

“In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to publish images from an ESP32-CAM board to multiple browser clients using MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport). This setup will enable you to create a platform that functions similarly to a live …

ThermTerm: an open source heat pump controller and home automation terminal, built on ESP32

“Control heat pumps manually or remotely via MQTT/Home Assistant. I love my heat pumps. They’re energy efficient and the fastest way to heat or cool any room. But I’ve always hated the remote controls that come with …

Ardu14: An Arduino-Based Emulator for the Science of Cambridge MK14 Micro Computer

“This project is based on the “Portable MK14 emulator in ‘C’”. While I’m not certain of the exact origins, I discovered it in Doug Rice’s Virtual MK14 GitHub repository. Doug and Hein Pragt’s websites were valuable resources …

CAN Bus Monitor

“This is a simple CAN Bus monitor that displays information about the packets on a CAN Bus It’s based on an Adafruit ESP32 Feather, a CAN Bus Transceiver, and a 240x135 TFT Display. I tested it by sending packets …
