ESP-NOW instead of WiFi
Today I learned about ESP-NOW over here: Forget WiFi! This Wireless Method is WAY Better?
This looks like exactly what I need for a project I’m planning. I want to connect my WiFi router with a relay between its power source. I can then trip the relay to reboot the router. I need to do this every couple of months and doing it manually is a pain because I have to walk into the other room to do it.

555 timer
One day I intend to Build My Own 555 Timer.
In the recent past I posted How a 555 Works as a Timer which refers to an interesting video on the topic.
In that video the speaker gives us a mnemonic for remembering the transistor schematic symbols. Referring to the direction of the arrow on the symbol the “NPN” transistor “Never Points iN”. Good to know!
