This Blog will Cover How to build a cheap EC meter for your aquaponics/Hydroponics or water quality related projects. We are not going to get into what the ideal value of PPM or EC is, Just cover how to measure and quantify a fluid.We will be using this...
For some reason, EC probes are relatively expensive. In most cases they are more expensive than pH probes, which to me seem a lot harder to make. So, I decided to make my own EC probe, as you can see below:The contacts are gold plated Studex ear piercing...
It is better to read the EC sensor log before reading this one. I wanted to test the stability and accuracy of the EC sensor! So I replaced the EC probe with a fixed resistor (to mimic the resistance of a solution). The EC probe was replaced...

Some progress has been made the past few days on the actual Renesas EC chip. A detailed log will probably follow in the upcoming few days, once I get the chance to take a few pictures and screenshots.In 2014 I etched a PCB to mount the EC on after desoldering...
I did another test with the rev1 prototype, this time only measuring voltage, and bringing it all the way to the maximum voltage of 60V. Again I am doing calibration and comparison to my Fluke 101 Multimeter. This has a problem as the Fluke 101 does...
SATA StatusAfter weeks of painful debugging. I have been able to read and write to the hard drive!I ran into an issue though... the speed at which I can communicate with my FPGA to/from my computer maxes out at about 16MBs and the hard drive reads/writes...
Today, i rewrite a code of ambient light of arduino module applied FastLED library carefully. Why? there are 3 important thing, 1) the legacy code of adalight is based on SPI that is used by a RF module too. I think move pin in code of adalight from...
Debugging Need to get this project working. One problem is that the Nano does not have enough pins. So I have used a Meduino (a Mega2560 Pro Mini). Here is the schematic: Here is the PCB: The ports (P1 & P2) match the TTA8 bus. A problem with the Meduino...
With the new harvest, I estimate that the perfect and maximal orbits under m=1M is around 100K. This starts to make quite a large .h file to include in the sieve generator. Not that it's such a concern but scalability, you know.... And embedding such...

A laptop keyboard is a diode-less key matrix. Its keys are distributed in a way that you can press the most important key combinations at once, despite the lack of diodes - to the point where some rows only contain one or two keys. Often, there's also...
I also wanted to sniff the communication between the micro controller and radio IC, but couldn't get the case of the remote control open. At the next opportunity I brought the Mi-Light Wi-Fi controller with me and got that open more or less easily:Inside...
In this log I will discuss some algorithm ideas I have in mind for MARB. Some are easy, some require higher math. 1. Weather forecast MARB will not be connected to the internet. Call me old-fashioned, but it has nothing to do with AI to get for instance...
Building a CP/M System Disk To avoid rewriting the assembler codes for ccp, bdos and cbios so that they can co-exist in the same file. I can append the i8hex files and remove the "end of file markers". To make the hex file more readable I have changed...
