Wire before the 390 ohm resistor
@boyannedkov Maybe it is 4 and the diagram shows wrongly the wire before thr 390 ohm resistor
Power consumption to color indicator
Added a power consumption to color indicator as a long distance visual reminder to reduce power usage. Quite effective by the way 🙂
Optical fluid sensors
Just received one of these optical fluid sensors after 2 months in transit.. No documentation at all, wondering what is the fourth wire for..

License plate and timestamp
Drive your car by any of my home security cameras and they will log your license plate and timestamp. Not sure it is proper or even legal, but it took me 10 minutes to do it with Node-RED and openalpr #security #IoT #AI

Samsung smartthings capable esp32 smart switch
Experimenting with #Samsung #smartthings capable #esp32 smart switch using their SDK and ESP-IDF. There is no need for a hub, works directly with the Smart Things app.

#ncdu saves the day when my blog VPS goes crazy due to running out of disk space. Turns out a pesky log not being truncated and yours truly not setting an alert for situations like this 😉 https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu

Air quality sensor
I just activated a http://luftdaten.info air quality sensor, will be contributing from my home in the suburbs that was missing air quality info. Where I live I measure PM2.5 to be 7.8 µg/m³, but overall air quality in Sofia right now is outrageous.
Simulink modeled software component into an ESP32 project
Successfully integrated a rather complex Simulink modeled software component into an ESP32 ESP-IDF/Eclipse project via code generation. Pretty impressed with the outcome and how fast the SWC was developed this way. #esp32 #simulink #freeRTOS #embedded
FreeRTOS CPU load monitoring
Added FreeRTOS CPU (both cores) load monitoring (for power management strategy implementation) from my TFT32 project. Pleased to see how efficient the code is, CPU load at 8% and 10% respectively for core 0 and 1..

GUI visualization of a 424-510MHz spectrum scan
Added GUI visualization of a 424-510MHz spectrum scan using RFM69 and ESP32. Note the peak at 433MHz, I was holding a 433MHz door opener keyfob to test it
RFM69 spectrum scanner
Picking a free RF channel is fundamental for good link quality. Working on a RFM69 spectrum scanner that will suggest free channel upon pairing a wireless sensor with the gateway. The RSSI spectrum looks like this where I live (suburban), there is an obvious band to avoid:
Atmega328 OTA update over RFM69 wireless link
Experimenting with Atmega328 OTA update over RFM69 wireless link, works fine. Remaining is to implement this+GUI on the TFT32 esp32-rfm69 gateway project, so it can reflash the relay actuators if needed.
CurrentRanger worth the 160 €
I am caught up in a "want vs need" dilemma regarding LowPowerLab's CurrentRanger https://lowpowerlab.com/guide/currentranger/ Anyone who owns one (or the original uCurrent): is it worth the 160 € it costs here in the EU?

Arduino within Eclipse C/C++ IDE
I rarely use Arduino nowadays, one reason is its amateur-ish IDE. Thankfully there are alternatives like using it within Eclipse C/C++ IDE, which partially deals with my Arduino intolerance in the rare cases I resort to it.
WiFi AP association timeout on an ESP32 project
Had to increase a WiFi AP association timeout on an ESP32 project, it was failing to connect in <15 sec. What is the recommended time to wait before considering a connection attempt timed out?
