Inside an Autonomous Self Balancing Robot (Re-published #35)
n this first episode I show how I build my self-balancing robot based on an Arduino pro mini compatible MultiWii board. It consists of 3D printed parts and uses stepper motors. In the next episodes, I will continue and extend it with a remote control based on NRF24L01 chips and ultrasonic sensors to enable autonomous driving. I am a proud Patreon of @GreatScott!, @ElectroBOOM , @Electronoobs , @EEVblog , and others. No Docker, No Microsoft Teams, Zoom
Which are the essential tools in a lab? Which one do I use and how am I organized? A video for all which are curious about how it looks behind the camera. Maybe you discover something you can use for your own work?
This is also my first "real" appearance on YouTube. I thought it is time after 200 videos...

Touch Displays are very useful as input and output devices. But they are hard to program and it takes a long time.
Iteadstudio created an innovative new generation of displays which can be easily programmed by a WYSIWYG editor on the PC. This saves a lot of time!

In this video I build presence simulator using Neopixels and a Sonoff or ESP8266. It reads the actual time and the time of today's sunset and starts and stops its simulation automatically.
It can aslo be used as a DIY / Do-It-Yourself Fake TV or a Random Timer for home automation projects

In this tutorial I show and explain a simple framework for the ESP8266 to enter initial data with a smartphone or laptop using HTML pages. I also show how data can be permanently saved and retrieved from the EEPROM.
I also show how you can get precise time from a NTP server.
The code is on github: https://github.com/SensorsIot/Internet-of-Things-with-ESP8266
This episode is based on the great work done by John Lassen.

This is the last re-run of a video (from 2018). In two weeks, I will be back with a new video.
I should have been warned: Some viewers on our summer project were against a gun on the tank. But I did not listen. This video shows what happened and how I was punished.
In Switzerland, every adult man is in the army and has his weapon at home. Maybe this is the physiological reason for my choice. I am not a psychologist; I am an engineer. So let's start with the story about How-to build a rail gun or a coil gun. Or how to not do it...

I often get questions about how to measure voltage with microcontrollers. We will look at this topic, at the quality of built-in and external Analog-to-digital converters, and I will show you some “secrets.”
In this video, we will:
- See how ADCs work
- Look at how we can determine the quality of ADCs
- Compare the ADCs of different microcontrollers with external chips
- Learn how to tweak the calculations to get the best out of any ADC
- See how we can extend the range of ADCs
- Discover some “hidden” things of Microcontrollers and their ADCs
- Look at different external boards and their usage

In this video we will connect Sonoffs, PIR sensors and Alexa to a Raspberry Pi Mosquitto MQTT broker. The "brains" is Node-Red and we will do some cool stuff like some Java Script, audio output, and SQLite.

In video #297, I started to build an 8085 retro computer board with parts that were used in the late 1970s. In the last video, we mainly looked at the hardware. Today we will finish the hardware and start to program the board in assembler. As we did back then. And Ben eater does with a 6502 chip.
In today’s video, we will
- Build the single board computer designed in video #297
- Test it and I will show the two most important debugging tools
- Look at how computers were programmed in the ‘70s and ‘80s
- Repeat the binary and hexadecimal numbering schemes
- Have a look into the CPU architecture
- Look at assembler programming and “spaghetti code”
-We will see how stacks work
- We will have a look at a nice 8085 simulator
- And we will build a “sophisticated” blink program
