Nerdiy.de – Nerdy DIY HowTo's about electronic, 3D-printing and more.
Nerdiy.de is about electronics, DIY, 3D printing, smart home and a lot of other technical topics.
The 3D printed housing of the “pxlDigits” was initially not intended to be “just” a 7-segment display with WiFi. Originally I used it to build a kind of timer from […]
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 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 moreI started developing the pxlBlcks because I was looking for a way to stay informed about events in the SmartHome. There are now two options integrated into the pxlBlck plug-in. […]
Read moreWith the pxlBlck you can be informed about events in different ways. One of these possibilities is to be able to display previously set icons. Unfortunately, this option only works […]
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 […]
Read moreI2C is the bus protocol or technology via which a microcontroller can communicate with many sensors or actuators. Thanks to the right software, you can also connect and communicate with […]
Read moreThe great thing about the concept behind the Arduinos is that in many cases you can benefit from the work of others. It does not matter which sensor you read […]
Read moreBesides the hardware, the right software for your project is just as important. A practical and universally applicable firmware for the “forest-and-meadow microcontroller” ESP8266 is the Tasmota firmware. This allows […]
Read moreThe other day I found an old control panel with old analogue displays when mucking out the cellar. It came to me the idea that somehow it must be possible […]
Read moreFrom the construction of the world map lamp I had a few plastic lamp housings over. These lay for a long time lonely on the shelf, until I came up […]
Read moreNormally every Arduino board is programmed via the serial interface. But not only the program code can be transferred to the Arduino. You can also send control commands to or […]
Read moreIn order to make the series of spoon-articles a little more complete, I would like to explain briefly in this article how to proceed with the installation of programs and […]
Read moreThe ArdunioIDE is very simple compared to other development environments. There are not many things you can turn on or off. This has the advantage that beginners are not overwhelmed […]
Read moreIn the articles FibonacciClock – An Unusual Time Indicator, FibonacciClock – Assembly and FibonacciClock – Programming is described how to build your own Fibonacci Clock. Just in case you want […]
Read moreIn the article FibonacciClock – An unusual time indicator I presented the cool idea of Philippe Chrétien. As mentioned in the post, I think the idea is cool and then […]
Read moreIn the two articles FibonacciClock – An Unusual Time Indicator and FibonacciClock Assembly, the FibonacciClock was introduced and described how you can assemble your own FibonacciClock. Now that you’ve finished […]
Read moreA few months ago I came across a project by Philippe Chrétien (geekoclock.com) in 2015 at Kickstarter. There (www.kickstarter.com/projects/basbrun/fibonacci-clock-an-open-source-clock-for-nerds-wit) a watch was offered for sale showing the time using the […]
