This is a DIY project to make your cheap Multimeter which you forget to turn off and the next time you try to use it and the battery is fully drained. That happened to me a lot. This circuit can be used on any low-power device, not just a multimeter.

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. 😉

There are several reasons why you would want to write some data files to an ESP32 or similar MCU’s flash memory. In most of the projects, we need to work with configurations that we don’t want to hard code in our code. One of the most common use cases with ESP32 or similar MCUs is […]

This project is one of my favorites because I have lots of plants in my home. I sometimes get too busy and forget to water my plants and the plants get really unhappy and dry. This project will implement a humidity/moisture sensor to detect dry soil and alert you to water your plant. The project […]

A simple paint app to test a dual-axis joystick module with ESP32 and an IPS LCD Screen. TFT_eSPI library is used as a graphic library. The following components are required. The app features 6 colors that are switchable by pressing the joystick switch. The cursor moves to follow the joystick movement and paints with the […]

I had the MPU6050 module on my shelf for a long time before I finally decided to open it. I was really excited to do an Airmouse project with ESP32 but procrastination has been my friend for all this time. I finally decided to open the static safe seal and solder the header pins to […]

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.
