This is my desk right now, anyone else who really enjoys fiddling with arduino / rpi electronics stuff?

Like making a remote for the projectors in school or using an Ethernet switch and a raspberry pi to create a WiFi network :P

I want to, but I have no clue how to

@bcye it's not difficult really, especially the arduino stuff, if you have a set already I can help you :)

You can also buy starter kits really cheap on Amazon for like 30€

@404response i habe this stuff and a book (didn’t really help though)

@bcye can you send a picture of your set?

@bcye ah ok so you got an arduino uno and do you also have other parts like LEDs and stuff?

@404response yeah

@bcye with the parts that you have, any project or thing you would like to do? :)

I had an idea of a switch with electric paint, do you know some fun projects you can do with this stuff

@bcye can you send me a picture of the parts that you have? Maybe I can think of something :)

@404response 1 is a turbine 2 are switches

@bcye hmm, there are a lot of tutorials on https://www.arduino.cc

You could try reading some of them :)

@404response thx

@bcye np, if you need any help just ask me ;)

@404response how can you know where the top and where the bottom of a resistor is?

@bcye that doesn't matter, they work both ways

@404response ok.

I have 2 raspberry and some sensors but no idea or what could be a good project to get involved to 😥

YES! *-*

@bcye Do some Christmas blinking lights that synchronize with music?

I've done some playing around with arduino (or rather cheap clones). Right now most of that stuff is at a friend's house because he wanted to get started with it. He built a traffic light within the first hour, maybe that is something for you, @bcye. Now I am waiting for some attinys and other components I ordered to play around with.

@MaxMustermann danke/thx

@bcye that "turbine" thing you got there is actually a servo motor. It doesn't continually turn but rather goes to a specific position specified by the voltage on the yellow wire. You can use analogWrite() with a value between 0 and 255 to control it. It can be used for example for the steering of a rc car.

@MaxMustermann ok thx

Been working with the AT89C52 and other members of the 8051 family... Need to dive into Raspberry pi, do you think I need to learn python, been programming 8051 with keil c

@nin0x03 I did that sometime back. Its not perfect but it does the job. Here's a link if you wanna have a look: https://youtu.be/aPYsP7Hrbg8

P.S. I made my YouTube channel to upload this video 😁

@Condor Watcha gonna build? I'm curious.

@404response Have you done image processing in RPi?

@bcye If you haven't already, a great place to start is the examples you get with the IDE. Access it from the menu.

My last project was a RasPi controlled Greenhouse, it collects data about temperature and humidity and stores it in a Round Robin Database. You can check the project out on my GitHub page, but documentation isn't ready yet.

My next project may be a light alarm clock, waking me up with light. It will use a ESP and a rgb led strip. I'm wondering about how the esp will communicate with the smartphone, because I want to set it in DeepSleep.

@rc5-asdf Thanks bro

@World no I haven't yet, but I would like to do so in the future

@404response Yeah, apparently no one here can relate to the frustrations of image processing. 😐 I put up a rant that neither got a single upvote or a single comment. 😂

@rc5-asdf No, it was the first idea that came to my head when seeing what kind of components he had lying around.
(When I tinkered with Arduino I built more like the opposite with some photodiodes where the light intensity was mapped to the output through a tiny loudspeaker.)
Do it! :)

@World. Flashy! :D Yeah, something like that was what I imagined.
