In this video we take a look at the automated tester I built for my Power BLough-Rs using an Arduino Nano. This is probably one of the most useful things I've made with an Arduino and has genuinely saved me hours already.
The Power BLough-R is a really simple way of solving the USB backfeed problem often seen when using Octoprint with your 3d printer. Check the Tindie page for more details.

In this video we will take a look at building a light that changes colour based on the temperature in the room.
This is actually quite a nice beginner project for Arduino as the circuitry is fairly simple and so is the code, but it has a nice practical use case.
I'll also dive a little bit deeper into why I picked certain sensors and give some advice on how to go about doing a project like this. I hope you enjoy it!

Youtube showed me a video by @Michael Crump today about how to use an ESP32-s2 to jailbreak a PS4, and I thought this project it was the perfect use for the ESP-Web-tools that I have been looking at for the last while
With this method you flash the project directly from your browser onto the ESP32-S2, you do not need to download or install anything!
You can check out Michael's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVvRV0i4Xr0
He also has plenty of other content related to PS4 Jailbreak on his channel if you are looking for more info.

Flash HID firmware on to a $3 Bluetooth devices so you make it act like a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse or game pad! You can use either a HC-06 or HC-05 for this
Unlike other methods for doing this, this method does involve a parallel port so it should work on most computers.
NOTE: Please read pinned comment, there is certain styles of board this won't work on
