For an upcoming project I need to improve the electrical characteristics of the PCB by increasing the width of the Ground and Vcc tracks. Let’s start with the track width. You can control the width of each track manually. The method involves creating custom track’s widths and then applying one of those to a new […]

For a new project, I was, once again playing around with Kicad, the new version has received a lot of changes, improvements and additions again. For my current project I need a Raspberry Pi Zero W template that is not included in Kicad as standard. So time to make it myself. Project templates Using a

In one of my previous posts (ATTiny85), I detailed an ATTiny85, or in my case the ATTiny85 SMD chip. These chips are al the same only the package is different. In this blog I will use a ATTiny that is breadboard friendly in combination with a I2C OLED. I2C OLED OLED 0.91 inch is a

I have some Philips® hue lightning bulbs in my home. To operate these lights they need permanent power, wall switches have to be always on. So when I go to bed and turn off the wall switch the light will never shine again if the hue bridge try to switch on the light, for example

In my previous blog I installed Apache 2 on a raspberry Pi. To display more than simple HTML pages, you need to install and configure additional software such as a database server and scripting language PHP. For more convenience and security you can still arrange things like SSL. You do that as follows.You can install

Through some researches I did online on how to minimize components use, I stumbled with using an ATTiny85 chip to be used in the project. And through some more researching, I decided to have my new project done using the ATTiny85 Chip. ATTiny85 Chip I bought these chips from Ali-Express. First I need to study

Handy, such a ready-to-use hosting package, but to have complete control over your web server, it’s best to roll up your sleeves yourself. For example, you can install your own Apache web server. The necessary components can be installed with the help of the command line. Also useful as a test server. Install your own

For an upcoming project I need and Arduino. Arduino is awesome. The boards are solid, the programming language and IDE are easy, and the community is awesome. But for a lot of electronics projects, an standard Arduino is overkill. If you’re just blinking a few LEDs, and reading a single sensor, you can get the

This is one of my “shelf” projects that I want to make . I use a Arduino Nano to connect all the sensors to. Arduino is a very inexpensive platform and comes in different sizes and configuration you can choose it as per your need. I did this project as a side project as I wanted
