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,

For those that starting with the Node MCU ESP modules, I have made some pinout diagrams, their functions and how to use them. The Node MCU ESP8266 12-E chip comes with 30 GPIO pins. All GPIO’s are exposed on all ESP8266 development boards, some GPIO’s are not recommended to use, and others have very specific

In this blog we look at the BH1750 light intensity sensor breakout board with a 16 bit AD converter built-in which can directly output a digital signal, there is no need for complicated calculations. This is a more acurate and easier to use version of the simple LDR which only outputs a voltage that needs

For those who follow my blog know that I have a 3D printer. Besides thinking up and creating everyday solutions with my 3D printer, I also like to draw 3D models. In this case the Plantower PMSA003i Digital Laser Dust Sensor. By drawing 3D models I learn “playfully” more and more. I sometimes made models in the past,
