nerdiy.de - DIY, electronics, 3D printing and more...
At nerdiy.de, everything revolves around electronics, DIY, 3D printing, smart home and many other technical topics.
The category Daily Project contains all projects of Nerdiy.de for which a maximum of five hours are needed for implementation.
For the last few years, I've mostly relied on Synology NAS for home storage. These come with a fancy interface and can be configured easily but also in detail. Unfortunately, [...]
WeiterlesenWith the Aenmosens_MCU board, it is possible to use Anemosens as a standalone anemometer that can be used for long-term observations in remote areas (hence the microSD card slot) or as another part of your weather station (hence the RS485 interface) [...]
WeiterlesenThe idea for the pxlDigit_PCB came to me during the construction of the pxlDigit (article here: https://nerdiy.de/howto-elektronik-sieben-segment-ziffer-pxldigit-aus-ws2812-leds-bauen/). There the pxlDigit is built from single WS2812 LED segments. For this, the LEDs must first be inserted into the 3D [...].
WeiterlesenFor another project, I urgently needed a relatively large number to display a time duration. This ultimately resulted in this small "sub-project". Because with the 3D printed frame described here [...]
WeiterlesenThe idea for the pxlBlck_Pot is strongly inspired by a design that Lukas (@i_am_lukas) had created. He agreed to let me take over his design. Thanks again for that 🙂 At the [...]
WeiterlesenThe pxlBlck-plugin for the ESPEasy Framework is the "software counterpart" to the pxlBlck platforms. With the plugin you can easily control the built-in LED matrices and with the help of the other functions is relatively [...]
WeiterlesenThe pxlBlck-plugin or the functions of your pxlBlck can be configured in two different ways. One way is to configure most of the functions via the plugin's web menu. Many infos [...]
WeiterlesenpxlBlck is a system of hardware and software to build an information system for the SmartHome. Various software and hardware options are available. Thanks to the integration in an EspEasy plugin can [...]
WeiterlesenWith the help of the ADC on the ESP8266 you can measure voltages. This is practical for example to measure a battery voltage and thus the charge state of the battery or with the help of a LDR and a [...]
WeiterlesenI don't know if dashboards are THE (one) means to make a nerd's heart beat faster, but certainly they are a means to make a nerd's heart beat faster [...]
WeiterlesenAfter soldering THT components, soldering SMD components is to a certain extent the supreme discipline among the soldering challenges. The difficulty increases as the size of the components decreases. SMD stands for "Surface [...]
WeiterlesenAs in the retro speaker project, it is a little hobby of mine to give old things a new use. If you can also improve the old technology and for example [...]
WeiterlesenSometime last year I stumbled across the very inexpensive TDA7492-CSR8635 Bluetooth amplifier boards on Ebay. These include a Bluetooth audio receiver and a stereo amplifier that can drive speaker cabinets up to 50 watts. [...]
WeiterlesenA MagicMirror consists of an important part of software besides the obvious mirror&screen. There are now some good software packages for this. The best one in my opinion is the one from Michael Teeuw. He has developed the for [...]
WeiterlesenYou can swear about Apple devices or idolize them, but what Apple has done very well is to integrate SmartHome components into their operating systems. Thus, iOs inherently brings a [...]
WeiterlesenFor a long time I have been looking for a way how I can display the data I collect with NodeRed from my SmartHome comfortably on the MagicMirror. Thanks to the many plugins [...]
WeiterlesenAfter the Bluetooth retro speaker was in use for a few days, I noticed relatively quickly that the integrated antenna had a somewhat modest radio range. Most of the time it was over after about 2m as the crow flies. [...]
WeiterlesenI must admit I have not yet found the perfect solution to list all SmartHome-relevant articles clearly. Until then, to bring at least some overview into the available SmartHome articles comes [...]
WeiterlesenAfter I recently found a way to forward notifications from my cell phone to my SmartHome, I have now thought about a few ways to use this in a "meaningful" way [...].
WeiterlesenIn the article NodeRed/Tasmota - Building a Facebook Icon Lamp I described why I think a Facebook lamp is a useful thing if you want to reliably inform yourself about Facebook notifications. Unfortunately/God [...]
WeiterlesenIn the articles “NodeRed/Tasmota – Building a Facebook Icon Lamp” and “NodeRed/Tasmota – Building an Instagram Icon Lamp” I described why these lamps can be quite useful if you want to keep up with [… ]
WeiterlesenRecently, while cleaning out the basement, I found an old control panel with old analog displays. This gave me the idea that you have to be able to use these displays somehow [...].
WeiterlesenThe other day I found the canning jar pictured below on the shelves of a large Swedish furniture store. Preserving jars are not an invention from Sweden. I would almost argue that they are somewhere in every [...]
WeiterlesenFrom the construction of the world map lamp I still had a few plastic lamp housings over. These lay long lonely on the shelf around, until I came to the idea of a small RGB light chain with [...]
WeiterlesenLamps that can be integrated into your own SmartHome system currently come with steep prices. Some smart lamps cost 100 euros and more. In my opinion, these [...]
WeiterlesenNodeRed is in my opinion one of the most intuitive graphical programming tools in the SmartHome/IoT area. In NodeRed, program sequences are not (only) executed with program code, but for the most part with function blocks (nodes) that are combined with each other and [...]...
WeiterlesenEspecially if your RaspberryPi is running in standby most of the day it makes sense to give it other tasks than the one it was originally designed for. So is [...]
WeiterlesenThe soldering of THT components (THT=Through Hole Technology="through-hole assembly") is one of the basics you need to build kits, prototypes and the like. This is because many electronic components, especially ICs, are still [...]
WeiterlesenIn the post FibonacciWatch - An Unusual Timepiece I introduced the cool idea of Philippe Chrétien. As mentioned in the post, I think the idea is cool and have started [...]
WeiterlesenOne term you come across more and more often in everyday life is "SmartHome". But what does it mean? And do I really need it? Smart home (=intelligent home) is a generic term for [...]
