Hello fellow makers and tinkerers, I am back with another simple, easy-to-follow project based on the Raspberry Pi Pico. Using easy-to-find components, we will be making a 2-wheel drive the motor car controlled through a Bluetooth module on an android APP made by MIT app inventor. The application is straightforward, which allows you to connect […]

Control a fan using a relay at a specific temperature threshold. Story I noticed that the media furniture where I have most of my media related devices (bluray-player,gaming consoles, etc.) was getting very warm whenever I was using one of these.I felt the urge to “geek-out” on this to make a something that is both

Secure and reliable real time data streaming is essential for IoT. I’ve seen plenty of demonstrations involving applications or “push button here, LED on over there” type hardware, but a friend and I wanted to make something that was more interactive… a way to almost feel the data stream as you manipulate it. So, we

A couple weeks ago my Dad mentioned to me it would be cool if advent candles automatically lit themselves according to the date. (One candle is lit starting the 4th Sunday before Christmas with an additional candle being lit for each of following Sundays). I thought, hey, that sounds like an interesting project, so why

In the potmot (for potentiometer-motor) test we use a potentiometer (“pot”) connected to the analogue to digital converter (A/D) to get an input value, and this value is used to control the speed and direction of the motor. It is set up so that at one extreme, the motor is going at top speed in one direction, as
