Home Front Door Open Email Alert System - IFTTT and ESP8266
When you need to receive an alert or automated status update for a remote event, using webhooks with IFTTT can help.
With this ESP8266 project monitoring a door switch on the home security system, I was able to receive an email alert every time the front door was opened.
This was particularly useful during a real estate listing when I had to be away from the house multiple times per day and wanted to know when people had come and gone so I could use my time more efficiently.

GETTI
getting-started-with-teensy-in-the
It's very easy to get Teensy boards integrated with the Arduino IDE. After installing Teensyduino, the Teensy boards can be selected as targets and sketches can be used easily.
I wanted to see how fast I could port over a previous Arduino Uno OLED display project and control some LEDs with a Pot, and it was all very easy.

4017
4017-two-direction-led-chaser-pcb-with
PCBWay Supports High Precision Advanced PCBs: https://www.pcbway.com/
Inspired by a futuristic black Trans AM from the 80's, here's my take on an LED back-and-forth scanner using 8 LEDs with a 4017 based circuit.
There are similar LED chaser circuits using only 6 LEDs with one 4017, but this project uses two 4017's and a customized transistor LED driver to allow the brightness to fade out similar to light bulbs turning off, giving a more natural visual effect.

UM348
um3482a-melody-generator-adding-harmony
I found this UM3482A melody generator I bought at Radio Shack 30+ years ago and thought I'd fire it up and try to improve its sound output characteristics.
Running it through the Sound Logic board I made recently
(video: https://youtu.be/hv5_Nsf6wCU ),
I was able to change the tonal qualities in a few ways as well as generate harmony out of the single tone melodies.

I had a few issues getting this blinking heart LED musical kit working, but after a quick modification, it ran a lot better. I have some ideas for future hacks so I think it was a good use of a rainy day.

The sketch is rough and brute force just to get going for fun.

5:20 Test Setup Wiring Diagram
7:36 Sketch overview
9:24 Current measurement testing
The INA282 is a current shunt monitor with a voltage output, and can be used for high side or low side current sensing. The device can be configured for unidirectional or bi-directional current measurement.
Here is a demo measuring currents from a few mA to 1 amp, comparing the Arduino measurement against a DMM ammeter reading and a manual calculation based on the sensor's output voltage.
