Normally, I don’t really write about products, but I’m making an exception here for a phone I bought recently. It’s not a paid review; I don’t know anyone at the company, and I have no incentive to write this except to share my experience with people who may find it useful. I had to buy […]
This project started as a vague idea to play music on better speakers and ended up becoming a bit more. There are a few things here which a lot of audiophiles wouldn’t like and it’s more like a curiosity project for learning than a setup for the best possible audio quality. It is indeed possible to […]
This is a quick project which uses Arduino and two sensors DHT11 and BMP180 to display humidity, temperature and atmospheric pressure to on a small LCD screen. I first proofed the setup and code on Arduino Uno and then tried to shift it to a cheap Arduino Nano clone for final setup. But after facing […]
I had an Arduino kit lying around for a long time but never did anything with it. Few days back I bought a few sensors and started to build a pollution sensor system consisting of atleast two sensors for now and multiple ways of monitoring. I don’t know any programing and most of the code […]
Few days back I noticed that my Raspberry Pi 3 is running quite hot. Sometimes crossing 80 degrees. This is quite rare but since it is running for days without a break in this hot weather, I planned to do something to bring temperature lower. But problem is that Raspberry Pis don’t come with any […]
Ever since I bought a camera, batteries have been an issue specially while traveling. A fully charged DSLR battery is enough for up to 1000 photos or more if used properly. But in places without electricity like when camping and cold weather, battery charge is an issue. I found out during my last trip to […]
This post is a follow up of my previous post about using Raspberry pi as a media server and a torrent box. Since last time, I’ve managed to fix up most of the problems that came up and now my Raspberry Pi setup is working well as a media server and torrent box. The major […]
A few weeks back I bought a Raspberry Pi 2 with a vague idea of using it as a device for downloading torrents and streaming videos. Using a PC for this work seems like an overkill. But work, travel and other stuff didn’t leave enough time and I could work on this project only for […]
