I've been involved in Full Stack for a while now in one form or another(either maintaining, designing or working on Full Stack projects). Even during school time, I was building websites for myself and my friends. I've built sites commercially even. Although I've been using either pure HTML+JS or even PHP/Perl at some …

I was building a Christmas set of spherical speakers just to familiarize myself with ADAU1401 Sigma DSP. And I wanted to add Bluetooth capability to the speakers so that they could receive sound data from an old Samsung Galaxy Node 10.1 in the kitchen. Granted, I have ordered some Bluetooth audio receivers, however, …

This is a simple test for multilanguage support. Sometimes I feel like writing in native tongue, sometimes in multiple languages... So, let's see how that goes. Here's a comic strip about why I have so many unfinished projects:

My son has a cat. And I've become very curious about the cat's feeding and toilet habits. Mainly I'm interested in how long does it take him to go to the toilet after eating as I've noticed a pattern: At first he goes to the kitchen, eats and then runs around the house wrecking havoc for some time and then goes to the …

In a previous post I've described how to build a Weather Station based on ESP8266 chip and various breakout boards you can buy e.g. on Aliexpress. In this post, however I'll share with you how I built a standalone PCB boards containing all the required components. To recap - this is a ESP8266 based Weather Station, …

There are a lot of forests in Lithuania which I like exploring on my bike. In the past a lot of Lithuanian resistance troops resided in those forests, so there is a big probability to stumble upon a stash of some kind. However that stash might as well be a grenade or a bomb of some kind, but nevertheless I always …

Ever since I started playing around with ESP modules I wanted to measure weather conditions in multiple location at home, friends, etc. The best way to achieve that would be to build a station that gathers various environment parameters and publishes them somewhere. That is what I've done. The very first prototype was …

I was always fascinated with balancing robots and wanted to build one myself. Some time ago I started collecting IMU, arduino boards, wheels, motors for other wheeled robots and one day decided to build a balancing robot instead. I've used wheels from old four wheel drive robot that used mouse sensors for odometry and …

As I've mentioned in the last blog post, I was trying to build a four wheel drive robot using arduino that utilizes two A3080 mouse sensors for odometry. Sadly that project never got finished and I disassembled the robot and built a balancing robot instead. However later I decided to not abandon the four wheel drive …
