I’ve been tinkering with Arduino stuff for quite a while now and sometimes I like to promote the project from the breadboard to the solder stage. However, that always meant getting some perfboard and before I could solder the electronics of the project, I’d first need to boilerplate
Often, when I’m soldering a project I use a piggyback PCB solution to help save space inside enclosures. I made some graphics to help with choosing the right enclosures.
This was one of the rare days where it was actually snowing consistently instead of going back and forth between drizzle and snow. I went out in the evening and took these pictures. The atmosphere was wonderful; only a few cars were driving and it was completely silent otherwise.
I saw this project quite a while ago and I just had to build it myself: a desk clock using analog voltmeters to display the time! The build ended up being pretty straightforward; the voltmeters are DC 5V meters that I got on eBay with an Arduino driving them. They
