In this video I will finally get one step closer to building my own DIY drone. Because in this episode of DIY or Buy we will be having a look at drone motor test stands and obviously build a crude DIY one as well. With such a stand you can measure at what RPM/Power your motor creates what RPM with what thrust. This information is more or less crucial when making your own DIY drone. So let's get started!

In this episode of Electronic Basics I will show you how to use N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs as switches in order to turn on and off your electronic load with a control signal. This way you can, for example, use your Arduino to control loads that require more current than the output of the Arduino can handle.

I wanted to build an "Ambilight" clone for my TV ever since i bought the Raspberry Pi one year ago. After I finally managed to order the necessary special WS2801 LED strip a couple weeks ago, I started the build and everything went better than expected.
Join me for this awesome build.

Smart Home Devices are awesome! But problems arise when you have too many that all use their own app. So in this video I am reactivating my home assistant server on my Raspberry and more importantly create an awesome dashboard screen. And No! I will not use a tablet. I will build something custom with another Raspberry Pi ;-) Let's get started!

In this episode of electronic basics we will have a closer look at strain gauges and load cells and find out how we can use them to measure weight. Along the way we will talk about the wheatstone bridge, suitable amplifier circuits and how we can use a µC to output the measured values of our weight measuring system.

In this project video I will show you why my new autotransformer keeps tripping my circuit breaker and how I built an AC softstarter in order to "softly" start the transformer so that it does not trip my circuit breaker. Along the way we will find out how exactly this problem gets created and how you can fix it easily. BTW, such softstarters are also useful for motors ;-) Let's get started!
