Nerdiy.de is (finally really) online

Posted on 27. April 2020 by Fab

Now I start already for the second time an article in which I write about the fact that Nerdiy.de will be opened soon. The last article about it (https://www.nerdiy.de/was-soll-das-hier-was-mache-ich-hier-und-wo-soll-das-alles-mal-hinfuehren/) is already more than two [...]

What actually drives me?

Posted on 5. February 2018 by Fab

Goals I believe in life it is important to have goals. And I also believe that everyone has some, even if unconsciously. For some, it's goals like certain career aspirations [...].

What is this? What am I doing here? And where is all this supposed to lead?

Posted on 5. February 2018 by Fab

So now I have this page already almost nine months registered or online and not a real word written to fill it. I will change that now. Nerdism [...]

Since I have been working with the (here in Germany) successful "balcony power plants", I have been wondering how the energy yield of the two to four solar panels can be further improved.The Sunchronizer S1 is my first design of a a solar panel mount for "standard" 400" solar panels that automatically tracks the sun on one axis. As with my past projects, I tried to rely largely on 3D printed components and standard mechanical parts. Ultimately, with this everyone should be able to build a solar tracker for their solar panels themselves.More info is available here: https://nerdiy.de/en/product-2/sunchronizer-s1-400w-solartracker-fuer-elevation-achse-3d-druckbar-stl-dateien/and here: https://hackaday.io/project/195626-sunchronizer-s1-elevation-axis-solar-tracker

The servo valve segment of the #PrintAirPipe system can be used as a controllable valve. The valve blade is controlled by an MG90 servo. Thanks to the built-in ESP32, the servo can be controlled via WiFi or the touch sensor on the housing. The LED shows the states open (green) and closed (red). The firmware is based on #ESPhome and the files are available on my blog nerdiy.de STLs & ESPHome Configuration: https://nerdiy.de/en/product-2/printairpipe-125-servo-valve-3d-druckbar-stl-dateien/

Quick sneak peak of the planned "base" for #solspot testing. Thanks to @PCBWay to support me with your pcb service. 🙂You can find more information and detailed instructions for my projects on NerDIY.de 🤓If you like what I'm doing follow me on @Nerdiy.de (Instagram) or @Nerdiy (YouTube).

To connect the #pxlDigit boards I have integrated pads for JST connectors in addition to soldering pads. In this way, the respective circuit boards can be easily connected with connectors and several digits can simply be connected in series. 🙃You can find more information and detailed instructions for my projects on NerDIY.de 🤓 Link: https://nerdiy.de/links/If you like what I'm doing follow me on @Nerdiy.de (Instagram) or @Nerdiy (YouTube).🇩🇪 To connect the #pxlDigit boards I integrated solder pads and pads for JST connectors.

Here in update about the latest iteration for the #pxlDigit housing. In the first version, the PCB had to be glued to the housing after it was inserted. Not really sexy. Especially if you want to take the PCB out again. That's why I adjusted the dimensions so that the PCB can be clicked into the housing. It then holds without screws and glue. Do you like the solution? 🙂 You can find more information and detailed instructions for my projects on NerDIY.de 🤓 Link: https://nerdiy.de/links/If you like what I'm doing follow me on @Nerdiy.de (Instagram) or @Nerdiy (YouTube).🇩🇪 Here in update about the last aiteration for the #pxlDigit case.

I also created a 3D printed housing for the #bedSens PCB. The circuit board can be easily inserted into it and is then clamped in the housing by closing it with the 3D printed cover. The connections for the force sensors and the #WS2812 LED RGB strip are then accessible from the outside. In addition, a recess for the (optionally mounted #BME280) is also integrated. This way the sensor is in the air and the measured values are falsified as little as possible by the housing. The PCB was kindly provided to me by @pcbway. 😍🙂 You can find more information and detailed instructions for my projects on NerDIY.de 🤓 Link: https://nerdiy.de/links/If you like what I'm doing follow me on @Nerdiy.de (Instagram) or @Nerdiy (YouTube).🇩🇪 For the #bedSens PCB I also made a matching case.

My vacuum cleaner robot is currently sleeping under the cloakroom bench. So it is directly visible and always has free travel as soon as it is needed. But since he has already done so much diligent work, it is time to build him his own garage. As a first step, I designed a hinge which will later hold the garage door. The door opens in the same way as you know it from kitchen cabinets. The door swings parallel up and out of the frame.The hinge shown is a first test. 🙂 You can find more information and detailed instructions for my projects on NerDIY.de 🤓 Link: https://nerdiy.de/links/If you like what I'm doing follow me on @Nerdiy.de (Instagram) or @Nerdiy (YouTube).🇩🇪 My vacuum cleaner robot currently sleeps under the wardrobe bench.

Many of you had already recognized it correctly: The indicated side project is a rotational platform which I want to use for the presentation in the future. The electronics are completely made up of different modules. A PWM module is used to set the speed of the rotation. The direction of rotation is reversed using a twin switch.The 6V for the geared motor are generated from a BuckBoost converter from a 18650 LiPo cell. The whole thing can then be charged via USB-C. Apart from the 3D printed parts, only a few ball bearings and screws are otherwise required 🙂 You can find more information and detailed instructions for my projects on NerDIY.de 🤓 Link: https://nerdiy.de/links/If you like what I'm doing follow me on @Nerdiy.de (Instagram) or @Nerdiy (YouTube).🇩🇪 Many of you had already recognized it correctly: The indicated sideproject is a turntable which I want to use for presentation in the future.

After the Staircase usermod from #WLED didn't work as it should have for my purpose, I combined what was necessary with my curiosity and finally worked my way into #Esphome. You can see the result in the video. The 192 LEDs long WS2815 LED strip is virtually divided into 12 segments (= steps). After touching one of the two touch sensors at the upper or lower end of the railing, the light is started with an animation and switched off again automatically after 15 seconds. Do you like the effect? 🙂 You can find more information and detailed instructions for my projects on NerDIY.de 🤓 Link: https://nerdiy.de/links/If you like what I'm doing follow me on @Nerdiy.de (Instagram) or @Nerdiy (YouTube).🇩🇪 After the Staircase usermod from #WLED didn't work as it should have for my purpose, I combined the necessary with my curiosity and finally dug into #Esphome.

Small demo of the start process of the Clockception modules. After the master module (bottom left) has started, the other modules can also start. After the self-test (sensor check, etc.) was successful, the start animation is displayed. The master module is still based on the previous revision, which is why the LED animation is inverted there.You can find more information and detailed instructions for my projects on NerDIY.de 🤓If you like what I'm doing follow me on @Nerdiy.de (Instagram) or @Nerdiy (YouTube).A small demo of the startup process of the Clockception modules.

Here comes (finally) the solution to my little slider riddle. Often there is almost always a USB port within reach for charging the many devices you have in your household. But I often had the problem that a suitable cable was missing. That's why I developed this winding mechanism, which you can easily mount (for example) under a tabletop. The USB-C cable can then be easily pulled out when needed. When you no longer need it, it is neatly wound up again in the winding mechanism 🙂 You can find more information and detailed instructions for my projects on NerDIY.de 🤓If you like what I'm doing follow me on @Nerdiy.de (Instagram) or @Nerdiy (YouTube).Here comes also (finally) the solution of my little slider puzzle.
