Chemists create and capture ‘einsteinium’ — the elusive 99th element discovered among the debris of the first hydrogen bomb

“Einsteinium, the elusive 99th element on the periodic table, has been created and captured, allowing some of its properties to be characterised for the first time. Not naturally occurring on Earth, the so-called ‘synthetic element’ was discovered among the debris …

Circuit Board for Making Freeform Circuit Sculptures

“Intro: I find that working as an electrical engineer in a professional environment causes you to think about electrical design differently than you might in the makerspace. You learn how to do simple designs really quickly, but also have to …

DIY IR Remote and IR Remote controlled LEDs

“Make your own DIY IR Remote and control some LEDs with it In this project documentation, you will be reading about making a DIY IR Remote and controlling LEDs with it. For this project, you will be needing both Arduino …

Dust Collector Monitor

“This is a dust collector monitor. Both the dust bin level and the filter are monitored. My earlier dust collector project only monitored the bin level. The video demonstrates the dust collector monitor detecting the filter needing cleaning. The threshold …

DVD Laser Scanner Microscope

“The laser scanning microscope is a special light microscope which uses a focused laser beam to scans the sample. The scanning of the laser across the sample is done by driving the laser in x and y direction. The image …

ESP32-Cam Programmer

“ESP32-Cam is a compact size and low cost ESP32 Development board with OV2640 camera. There’s no USB programming port, so you need external programmer like FTDI, CH340 or CP2102 to upload code through serial pins (UOR and UOT …

ESP8266 Window Sensor with OTA and Deep Sleep

“I was looking to boost my home security by adding window sensors. Something small and obscure so it would not stand out. I landed on this axGear sensor unit. It is small (70 mm x 20 mm). However, there was …

Project  ESPmeter

ESPmeter

“ESPmeter helps monitoring domestic gas consumption; a small device captures data from the gas meter which is then sent to a server via HTTP; a web application allows visualizing daily gas consumption with a granularity up to 5 minutes. Operating …

Extending GPIOs of ESP8266-01 and IoT || Exploring ESP8266:Part 3

“Hello all! This instructable happens to be part 3 of my ESP series where I continue to experiment and explore the various features of the ESP 8266-01 board. In the first and second part of the series I have mentioned …

Fall detection and heart rate monitoring using AVR-IoT

“A wearable low-powered device detects falls using machine learning at the edge. It also monitors the heart rate. Overview Falls can result in physical and psychological trauma, especially for the elderly. In order to improve the quality of life of …
