In this project, we will see how to turn any decorative object into an IOT smart device. Specifically, a plant pot was chosen and it was transformed into a device that sends movement notifications. The heart of the project is an ESP-01 WiFi module for wireless communication and a PIR sensor to detect movement. An…
The amazing Jeremy Blum, (see his previously released Oped – Re-Making Education on Open Electronics) released his book on Arduino. Can’t Miss! Exploring Arduino uses the popular Arduino microcontroller platform as an instrument to teach topics in electrical engineering, programming, and human-computer interaction.

My objective here was to be able to listen to the 8am news over breakfast – without having to up at 8am. Hence the inclusion of the recording function. I have been enjoying the news every day for several months now, when I am ready to listen to it, and with just a couple of…
In this post we will deal with an interesting solution to overlat text on a video signal. This solution, which uses the LM1881 integrated, has a lot of use cases accompanied by variable software challenges. For this reason this post is a kind of tutorial, presenting no vertical solution, but instead providing an overview…
