Audio player [2]: Tardis tissue box cover

Audio player [2]: Tardis tissue box cover

It's time to build the connected Tardis! Sound, lights, and tissue box in one beautiful (?) object!

Audio player [1]: Concept and first circuit

Audio player [1]: Concept and first circuit

A real IoT device, WiFi enabled, connected to a MQTT server which can play sound on demand!

Day counter on LCD display

Day counter on LCD display

Using an ATtiny and modifying an LCD module gave me the ability to build a low power display working more than a year with two AA batteries.

Water tank monitor [5]: Power consumption

Water-Tank project

Water tank monitor [5]: Power consumption

After building the circuits and programming them, I have to check the power consumption of the sensors before installing them.

Arduino Pro Mini: Power consumption

Arduino Pro Mini: Power consumption

Building a low power consumption project is not easy for a hobbyist. The Arduino Pro Mini is a good option but requires some tweaking!

Water tank monitor [4]: Source code

Water-Tank project

Water tank monitor [4]: Source code

After building the circuits of the sensors and the base station, it's now time to program them with the Arduino core.

Water tank monitor [3]: Circuits

Water-Tank project

Water tank monitor [3]: Circuits

Time to build my first water taken sensor and the base station! I will use perfboards and plastic boxes for this first iteration.

Water tank monitor [2]: Components

Water-Tank project

Water tank monitor [2]: Components

After reviewing the main parts for my sensors, it's time to decide which electronic components I will use.

Water tank monitor [1]: Concept

Water-Tank project

Water tank monitor [1]: Concept

I want to create two sensors to decide which water tank should supply the chalet. Let's discuss sensors, communication, power supply and display.

Freezer Door [1]: Concept and first try

Freezer Door [1]: Concept and first try

My first project will be a simple one: a door (open / close) detector. Although this project is very simple, I want to go the far as possible and not do only a dirty try. I will use this project to know when my freezer door stays open to much, in
