I’ve had this idea in mind for a while, an E-paper display that is connected to the internet. In this blog post, I want to freeze the high-level idea and the project execution plan. Hacker/maker Extraordinaire Sprite_TM has done something before on similar lines. I’m planning to build my own version from scratch while adding some…

The Idea for this post struck me on a hot summer day here in California, it was a 100F outside and my phone mounted on the car dashboard wouldn’t charge as fast(like 1% in like 30 minutes) although the phone indicated that it was in fast charge mode and I could not see any other issues with the…

Recently, I built a touch activated LED toy based on the Attiny85V from Microchip (née Atmel). The schematic is shown below I got the PCBs made from every hobbyist’s favorite PCB manufacturer OSHpark. On the surface, the project seemed pretty simple. It gave me an opportunity to work on touch sensors and learn their functioning and implementation. I decided…

Yesterday I visited Alamere Falls, near Bolinas,CA. We started at the Palomarin Trailhead (there’s plenty of parking there, it being peak season though we had a hard time finding parking) It’s a rather long hike (8 mi+)but large sections of trail have good tree cover and it was very foggy when we visited. do remember to pack as much water as you can…

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I was craving something that’s tasty, but not too difficult to make and pasta sounded like a good idea. I really love creamy Alfredo sauce, but i had no parmesan cheese on hand. I also like tomato pasta sauce, but when made fresh. I really hate the taste of store bought…

I started work on a new design, I have long had a desire to create a “product” from scratch using minimal off-the-shelf stuff. This design should help me achieve that goal, and help me learn project management(albeit on a micro scale! :P). Last year I spent some time on an esp8266 based design, new ideas…

Saw this post on hackaday and decided to work on fixing my own Mx Master which had the infamous scroll wheel issue. I could not toggle between the scroll modes of the mouse. The feature stopped working the very next day i started using the mouse. It seems to be a design issue on logitech’s part. But…

Today a coworker of mine gave me his old Philips Sonicare toothbrush. He said it had stopped charging and would no longer work. That was a good opportunity for a tear down 😉 Lets see what makes this baby chooch….(As the great man himself said https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA0kiYqyBmo) There’s very little to this device. it seems like…

Last weekend over thanksgiving, I finally found some time to move over my blog to a custom hosted solution over from the old one. I now have a custom WordPress install(this might change soon, as I’m looking at other options, which are more efficient like jekyll ). The blog should now be snappier, also i’m planning to…

Recently, I got a used Atrix 4g lapdock for 30 bucks off of craigslist. It was a really good deal for a device that packs a USB hub, a 10+ inch LCD a keyboard, a trackpad and also a 10000mAh battery. Supply it with a processor and it can be a full fledged laptop computer.…
