Today I read about the WordPress Block Editor. I don’t use it (I use the code editor) but I suppose it’s good to know what it can do.

Capacitive sensors as an alternative to resistive sensors
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!

Silly Job Title: Circuit Breaker. I am the Circuit Breaker!
This video is part of the Old Book Teardown feature of my video blog.
In this video I tear down Engineering Electronics with Industrial Applications and Control by John D. Ryder. This book was published in the USA in 1957. The book comprises 666 pages and is chock full of schematics with old vacuum tubes and photos from old Cathode Ray Oscilloscopes (CROs).
This whole thing is a duplicate, because I already had a look at this back in April 27, 2024. Oh well. Practice makes perfect. :)
In the video I mention about PID controller.
