As a YouTuber, I’ve developed some simple routines that make it easier to find what you need without constantly searching for things you’ve already come across. These tips aren’t just for the hobby—they can also help streamline your day job. Sound interesting? Let’s get into it!

Another application, a LoRa 1:1 link, can be beneficial because it inherits all the good properties, like long distance and low power. It is simple, does not need an infrastructure, and can be used bi-directionally. Because I want to build a long-range bidirectional mailbox notifier, I will evaluate a few LoRa boards, connect them to an ESP32 and an ATTINY1614, and finally integrate them via MQTT into Home Assistant.

But what if they seem to exist and are used in cars and consumer electronics? And if they solve the common problem of efficient reverse polarity protection? Enough reasons to look at “ideal diodes” and check them out. I am sure you will consider using them in one of your future projects if you only know they exist and how they are used!

Most libraries and projects reside on GitHub, and we must know how to use them. GitHub can also enhance our work procedure, and a lot of employers will ask you for your GitHub account or will check it out before they invite you for an interview. So, GitHub seems at least as crucial as LinkedIn for a professional developer’s career. This video will teach you the basics of using GitHub for your Arduino projects. And I promise: We will avoid the command line!

In addition, the SD cards can become corrupted if the Pi loses power without a proper shutdown. We have several possibilities to avoid this disaster. Only one is simple and cheap. But, unfortunately, it has its caveats. So, let’s get an overview and use a nearly unknown Raspbian feature to help us solve the problem.

Unfortunately, this was not the case because LoRa has a huge range but a minimal throughput. It seems somebody listened to them and invented Wi-Fi on the same frequency band as LoRaWAN using Wi-Fi protocols. Cool. In this video, we will check it out to see if it can keep its promises, like going through walls and having a more than 1-kilometer range. We will compare it to standard Wi-Fi and learn that we must pay attention to staying legal.

I use these car fuses a lot, and I always expected that they protect my circuits from overcurrent and possible burning, but I never checked if they work. Particularly since I started to work with Lithium batteries capable of delivering huge currents and even burning if you are unlucky, the danger increased dramatically. Do I also have bad Chinese stuff? I am sure you want to know the truth, too. So, let’s check out my fuses from AliExpress and Amazon and compare them with the proper ones from Bosch. And I will show you how you can test yours without expensive gear.

He used a 50-year-old 555 timer IC, and I want to use the same size and a similar price modern chip because this chip lets us put some “artificial” intelligence into the project. During this journey, we will learn about a very useful chip family and discover some unknown behavior of power banks as well as a new fake sold on AliExpress.

This is particularly important for batteries in expensive devices like smartphones or tablets because repairing a defective battery is expensive. It took Apple many years till, finally, the iPhone 15 can automatically stop charging at 80% and so extend the lifetime of your battery considerably. Maybe Android phones were faster. This is the best solution, but today, we will solve the problem for all other devices, including our Dashboard Tablet in the kitchen. As a bonus, I will show you why we have this tablet and what it displays. And I will reveal the secret behind this number.

Measuring current is simple. Right? You just take a multimeter, connect it to the two cables, and read the value.

During my summer break, I show some (hopefully) well-aged videos of my channel. The invention of radar influenced the way World War two went because it was possible to detect planes of the enemy and shoot them down. And since then, this technology made civil aviation as we know it possible because it can detect the movement of metallic surfaces over distance. Of course, technology can also be used against us, for example, if we are trapped while speeding…
