Design of version 1.1 of my IoT sensor

I got cocky with the second step in my temperature sensor project, IoT Plan.

I assumed I finished the design of the power circuit, in retrospect I must have set it down to return to later. I did not connect all the required pins for the power IC and designed a new version. Hopefully the next tim...

Developing my first computer game.

Like many computer game players I am trying my hand at writing my own.

I attended a game developer's meet-up in February and have another scheduled for April. I had nothing to show at the first meet-up as I was just getting started, but the second has proven to be a good motivator and I hope to s...

Fabricating my first temperature sensor board.

I have fabricated a wifi temperature sensor for my IoT project, IoT Plan.

The sensor board uses an ESP32 module for its core functionality: controller, wifi and temperature sensor. I paired it with a buck-boost voltage regulator that can be supplied by battery (3V) or micro-usb (5V) source. A 4-...

We live in a house built in the 60's, and we close off some rooms we rarely use to conserve energy. This year we have been tracking temperatures due to the installation of a new heating system. Wanting to collect more detailed measurements, I am creating a sensor network to collect temperatures auto...

Equipped with my 300mm lens, I captured a couple long range shots.
