This small board has no more than an IRF520N MOSFET transistor, an LED, and two resistors on board, not counting the terminals. However, it allows for switching larger loads via a microcontroller. What is a preview: As I am increasingly losing track of the ordered hardware, I will after…

This is a USB to Serial port adapter. It is based on the CH340g chip. It is often used to program or debug various TTL devices. For example, it is necessary to program the Pro Mini or the Lilypad directly. Unfortunately, it only has 5 volts, so you would need a logic converter for 3.3V devices to...

The INA219 measures the current of a consumer and can be read out via I2C bus. I connected it to an ESP32 and tried to get some data from it.

I visited Speedy Ali again and browsed around a bit when this board caught my eye. It has an ESP32-C3 and is in a form factor that fits on a breadboard.

Depending on the version, the sensor can weigh 1-20 KG and transmit it to a microcontroller. The sensor itself consists of an aluminium body and a strain gauge. There are corresponding libraries for HX711 on Arduino and Github (see sources). What is a preview: As I'm increasingly losing track of the hardware ordered, I will...

I ordered an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense Rev2 from Christkind, but I received a Nano 33 BLE. Well, „man“ takes what „man“ gets ;) . No, I'm not going to gender-neutralise this here because it would distort the facts. Before I wander off any further, I've had the thing unpacked in its box since the year before last...
