In this blog post, I share my experience of building a cheap DIY Stream deck alternative using FreeTouchDeck, an open-source project maintained by Dustin Watts. The project saved me hours of writing code and was a ready-to-use project that only required compatible hardware. I used a 2.4in TFT LCD using ILI9341 driver with resistive touch, an ESP32-WROOM-32 bare module, an ESP32 breakout board, and a CH340 Programmer. After some challenges with soldering and programming, the Stream deck alternative was ready to use, and I even used the box that the LCD came in as an enclosure.

I recently bought a less than 5 Euros cheap Soldering Iron which I decided to make smart by adding a control circuit to it. The project requires the following components The project had 3 main stages Budget The total cost for the project was The total budget came to 13.5 Euros, which is cheap. 😉

I needed an ECG but faced long wait times to see a specialist. I decided to build a DIY ECG device using the AD8232 ECG module and an ESP32-S3 dev module with an LCD screen. After some tinkering, I was able to build a device that read ECG data and displayed it on a screen. I also added a feature to detect the frequency of the ECG data and calculate heart rate via the RR interval in realtime on a browser through websocket.

I have been using KeystoneJs for one of my projects. Keystone uses Prisma. I have been putting off using migrations for a while now so, I already have my production site with data and I do not want to lose my data to start using migrations. For this purpose, there is a technique called baselining […]

Trigonometry “the foundation” the branch of mathematics dealing with the relations of the sides and angles of triangles and with the relevant functions of any angles. Google Basics of Trigonometry Trigonometry in its core has a very simple foundation. Although being so simple, it blows my mind that its the base to all the complex […]
