In this blog we look at the BME680 Integrated Environmental Sensor with Arduino Nano microcontroller. The BME680 is a gas sensor that measures relative humidity, barometric pressure, ambient temperature, gas (VOC Volatile Organic Compound) and IAQ (Indoor Air Quality). Because the pressure varies with altitude, The sensor can be used to measure estimated altitude. Using […]

Servo motors can be found in robotic arms, cameras, lathes, CNC machines, printing presses and other engineering applications where precision and repetitive motion are required. Servo motors often consist of DC motors that use feedback mechanisms to move from one position to another with great precision. The inexpensive servos found in maker projects use potentiometers

Look into any commercially made electronic device these days, and it is filled with tiny components (SMD). Rather than using traditional components with wire guides. These components are mounted on the surface of the boards, and many are minuscule. This technology is known as Surface Mount Technology, SMT and SMD components. Virtually all equipment commercially

What’s up fellow makers, today we do another little product review. I ordered and received a package from Omnifixo, and I’m quite keen to see what’s inside. All right, so let’s take a look. Omnifixo makes a “third hand”, perhaps you know those cheap third hands for soldering with the crock clams. Perhaps you know
Year 2021 will go down in history as one of the worst in recent memory. It has been pretty eventful, to put it lightly. With the pandemic being the dominant problem, punctuated by a lot of calamities, the year felt like it came by fast and slow at the same time. For most of us,
