Nerdiy.de is about electronics, DIY, 3D printing, smart home and a lot of other technical topics.
To be honest, the idea of a 3D printable wind sensor (in technical jargon “anemometer”) has been floating around in my head for a long time. Initially I could have […]
Read moreThe ButtonBoard PCB is my attempt to kill several birds with one stone. On the one hand, I’ve always been looking for a universal and easy-to-program remote control for the […]
Read moreWith the Aenmosens_MCU board it is possible to use Anemosens as a stand-alone anemometer, which can be used for long-term observations in remote areas (hence the microSD card slot) or […]
Read moreThe Anemosens sensor PCB is the basis for the sensor assembly of Anemosens, a 3D printed anemometer that I developed for the second version of WinDIY. For this purpose, an […]
Read moreThe idea for the pxlDigit_PCB came to me while building the first version of the pxlDigit (article here: https://nerdiy.de/en/howto-elektronik-sieben-segment-ziffer-pxldigit-aus-ws2812-leds-bauen/). The pxlDigit is built up from individual WS2812 LED segments. To […]
Read moreOne of my past PCB projects is the “pxlBlck_multiPCB”. As the name suggests, this board is the heart of several future pxlBlck variants. So far I have used the Wemos […]
Read moreA few days ago the Hackaday Prize 2021 was announced. It became clear to me relatively quickly that I would like to try to submit a few of my projects […]
Read moreMP3 players, smartphones and USB sticks with 128GB and more memory are now part of everyday life. Storing and transporting music has therefore never been easier. About 30 years ago […]
Read moreI recently built an extraction system for my soldering station and the chamber of my 3D printer. The built extraction system has two connections. One of them sucks the air […]
Read moreFor another project I urgently needed a relatively large number to indicate a duration. From this this small “sub-project” emerged. Because with the 3D printed frame described here and a […]
Read moreI started with the documentation of the pxlBlcks (which I had been postponed for a too long time) in November 2020 after Hackaday.com had announced the “GoodBye 2020” challenge. (More […]
Read moreThe pxlBlck_RingClock is very similar to the pxlBlck_SlotClock. It is also built using a 1 × 60 LED matrix and can display the time according to the same scheme as […]
Read moreThe pxlBlck_8x8 was one of the first members of the pxlBlck family. Thanks to the few parts and the prefabricated WS2812 8×8 LED matrix, it is set up fairly quickly […]
Read moreThe idea for the pxlBlck_Pot is heavily inspired by a design that Lukas (@i_am_lukas) had created. He agreed that I can use his basic design. Thanks again for that. 🙂 […]
Read moreThe pxlBlck_SlotClock consists of a 1×60 LED matrix. It can display the time in the same way as an analog clock. The colors of the individual hands can be adjusted. […]
Read morepxlBlck is a system of hardware and software to set up an information system for the SmartHome. Various software and hardware options are available. Thanks to the integration in an […]
Read moreI am currently working on the first preparations for a somewhat larger project. For this I need LEDs which shine a little brighter. At the same time, I didn’t want […]
Read moreA few days ago I posted the building instructions for a project of mine: WinDIY a 3D printed wind turbine. Even if I still have some work ahead of me, […]
Read moreOn a camping trip away from modern infrastructure, you quickly notice how much you have gotten used to the fact that electricity is somehow available anytime and anywhere. The stupid: […]
Read moreYou can measure voltages using the ADC on the ESP8266. This is useful, for example, to measure a battery voltage and thus the state of charge of the battery or […]
