Some days ago a friend told me about the heaters from Vevor and after some search I found this page very promising: http://afterburner.mrjones.id.au/ So I hoped the Vevor ones have the same protocol structure and things would be quite easy....
Today I started to connect the bus to my PC. A USB/USART adapter from FTDI was my choice since I got tons and various PCB's laying around. The FTDI can be configured for RS485 to enable a IO when you're sending data. I tried the interface with the two...
Starting project by learning more about eggs.. I'd like to figure out how to create a nice 3D printed egg shape that can hold a circuit board, battery, and motor assembly. I'll start by printing off some free variants from thingiverse. Ultimately I want...
I used this great tutorial to make a threaded egg in Fusion360. I made mine about 5 inches around with an egg-shaped volume inside rather than the cylindrical volume in the video. The 50% scaled test print turned out great and looks like an egg....
The system block diagram is relatively simple. The egg moves using a stepper motor and there is a microcontroller and motor controller used to generate the PWM signals for the stepper. A USB interface allows for re-programming of the microcontroller....
I started writing some programs to control the DRV8825 using a few small embedded boards I had lying around - the Metro by Adafruit and Arduino Uno both of which are based on the ATMEGA328P processor. I went with these because I wanted something...
We're starting to finalize some of the bigger pieces of this project, so we're excited to start sharing our progress! We've got the geometry and LED arrangement set, now we're testing our electrical design and getting started on writing some animations....
Obligatory title. This project has already been underway for months and will likely continue to evolve for as long as I can. Since my workshop is in my basement with no windows, I wanted a way to keep an eye on the outside world. I don't...
This is our action plan for our improved Magic 8 Ball: have a better and bigger screen, with more pixels and with wich we could display more than 16 letters, potentially even showing picturesvoice speaker to read the message when it's displayedimprove...
So last week in class, we thought of many projects like something that uses a Kinect, a furniture piece that makes delightful cocktails, but at the end of the class, we decided on something that could be useful for our international semester. Just in...

First, we need to prepare the environment for ESP32 development board programming in Arduino, and you can check this guide.RadioLib library is a wireless communication library. It supports a variety of wireless communication modules, including LoRa,...
