Over on YouTube @elewizard shows us how to make a capacitive sensor for the water level for a pot plant. He also shows us how to use a 555 timer and an MCU to measure small capacitances by the frequencies they generate.
Today I added capacitive, and capacitances to my spellcheck!
Our mate Piers over on @piers_rocks has added USB-C connections to One ROM. The video shows how he did it.
In this video checkout someone reverse engineering a complex PCB.
As explained by Wikipedia a Symbiote is a fictional species of extraterrestrial parasitic life forms appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, most commonly in association with Spider-Man. This inspired the fun build below.
Today I bumped into the shorts video below. It’s from @get-nlab who have an early access form for their nLab project over here: https://getnlab.com/early-access. From their pre-order page:
