Smart Irrigation Project on Arduino

“In this article, we are going to interface a Soil moisture sensor FC-28 with Arduino. This sensor measures the volumetric content of water inside the soil and gives us the moisture level as output. The sensor is equipped with …

The Cardboard Computer - IO is my name

“My goal is a 4-bit CPU using recycled cardboard substrate and Diode Transistor Logic. This will develop into an educational platform for me. Attempt to build a four bit computer using recycled, re-purposed and just plain junk as the main …

Trinket M0 Express Hack

“m a huge fan of the SAMD21 boards that Adafruit is producing. What a huge step up from the ATMEGA328 or 2560. 48MHz, 32 bit ARM Cortex-M0+, and loads of flash and ram. I have several of these boards and …

Wi-Fi Camera Trap

“We have lots of small wildlife around our house (mostly rabbits this year) and since I have a small camera module and a cheap PIR (passive infrared) motion sensor, I thought it would be fun to make a motion triggered …
