All right people, I’ve got a pretty sweet project lined up, just in time for valentines day. I’m going to show you how to gift away your own heart!
This is how to use an ECG sensor along with an arduino to record your heart beat! This data will then in turn be used to make an awesome picture, so you can give away your heart to whomever you fancy! While this might seem complex from the start, the process itself is pretty straight forward and now I’m going to show you how to do it!
I always keep my eye out for small problems that could be improved my over engineering a solution to test my skills. My recent tutorial is no exception! I’ve attached a meter of LED strip under my bed, and it is of course controlled by an arduino.
The arduino is soldered onto a perf board along with an RTC module and a PIR sensor. The code is written to work as a wake-up and night light.
So I’ve been thinking a lot about automation with my kitchen plants. I don’t like having to remember if they need water all the time. While this burden has been reduced with my Electric Soil Finger I would still prefer if everything took care of itself. Enter automatic watering!
There’s already a lot of different solutions for automatic plant watering, but I all found them lacking in one aspec: You need to use a pump with special diameter tubing.
I’ve just made a small device I can use to get readouts on when to water plants. This works by measuring the conductivity of plant soil. The conductivity changes according to how wet the soil is. This information is read and mapped as servo positions to indicate on a gauge when it’s time to water.
Intro at instructables: Today I’m going to show you how to make your own electric soil finger!
I’ve created yet another tutorial over at instructables. Just like last time I tried my hands on making a tutorial video. The whole work flow felt a lot smoother and quicker this time. Definitely because this wasn’t my first time making a video like this and editing in premiere pro.
I like this new format so I’ll be doing more of these videos along with detailed instructions. That is, if I have the time.
Another new project! I have just created a powerfull LED panel that currently sits and illumates my room.
This was a fun project for me because I created something I needed. The dorm room I’m renting is dark and I’m not allowed to mount anything to the wall or roof. This meant I needed a compact and bright lamp that would spread a lot of light, without being mounted to anything.
I’ve made a new instructable! I’m showing how to create a small box with only a visible audio jack and push button. When the button is pressed a prerecorded message will play through the audio jack. To read the instructable and all the details on how the box and electronics was made, click here.
The 3D printed box was designed in Fusion 360 and can be downloaded here.
Introduction at instructables.
I’ve made a new instructable which can be found here.
The instructable covers how to make a grow light for indoor plants. I made the light because I planted some tomatoes a few months ago, and at this time of the year there’s only about three-four hours of sun in Norway.
It was a lot of soldering, but what I liked the most about the project was the 3D modeling of the light holder which sits on top of the green house.
This Instructable is written out and annotated here.
Introduction In this project I’m going to show you how to make an automated study environment with the Intel Edison! The Intel Edison uses several sensor to monitor the environment in your study room. The Edison will optimize the environment in your room to fit your specified parameters for studying at peak performance. The background for this project is that I was chosen by Instructables to receive one of their Intel IoT Invitational kits.
