Ashish Adhikari started following Rechargeable 3D Printed Humidifier
-
Humidifiers add moisture to the air. They can help people with dry skin, allergies, and respiratory problems. They may also help in preventing influenza and reduce snoring. I bought this AU$2 USB Mini Humidifier DIY Kit from AliExpress and went ahead and created a cute little 3D container for it. In this tutorial, I will show you guys how I designed and assembled the humidifier circuit into the 3D model. 3D Model While browsing the Internet, I found this cute little candle holder created by SERV3D on Cults3D.com. The design was very cute and I went ahead and upsized and customized the design to fit all my electronics bits into it. With the help of Microsoft 3D Builder, I modified the 3D Model. The model has 2 compartments. The top compartment is completely hollow to hold water in it. I kept the top section open to fill water into it. All the electronics bits will go inside the second compartment. Those two screw holes are to hold the rechargeable 18650 battery holder. This pipe like structure is for the wires to go from the top section to the bottom section. The top compartment is 9.5cm x 4.5cm. So, if we calculate the volume of the cylinder it comes out to 604cm-cube. By dividing the volume by 1000 we can get the volume of water that can be stored inside that compartment. So, it comes out roughly around 0.6 liters. At the back of the model, I created a grove to fit in a block of plastic that will house the TP4056 18650 battery charging module and a SPDT switch. The charging module gets super hot while charging, so I have given enough space in the block to keep the module cool. The bottom lid will cover and hide all the electronics bits into it. The top lid has a hole in the middle to house the humidifier straw. Thats it as simple as that. 3D Printing Once the 3D model was sorted, it was time for me to fire up my 3D printing oven and start printing these 3D models. As we all know, 3D printing is the process that uses computer-aided design or CAD, to create objects layer by layer. 3D printing is not a new technology, its been there since the 1980's, when Charles W. Hull invented the process and created the first 3D-printed part. Since then, the field of 3D printing has grown exponentially and holds countless possibilities. The 3D printing process fascinates me a lot and I sometimes love to sit near my printer and watch these layers getting printed. 3D Printing is a highly addictive hobby! There are so many things you can do using a 3D printer. From designing 3D Models to printing them using the 3D printer has now become my new hobby. I've been a "maker" since I was 10 years old, and have always constructed and made my own stuff. 3D printing for me is a blessing. I am totally lost in the 3D printing heaven. 3D printing has changed my electronics workshop life forever. Before when I used to order parts, I always used to wonder if the parts would fit into my project's resources... but after I got my 3D printer... it doesn't matter at all, because if it doesn't fit - I could design and print it myself. The 3D printer was definitely "The Missing Piece" from my electronics workshop. The entire printing process took roughly around 20hrs. After extracting all the 3D printed bits, I sanded them to give them a nice and smooth texture. This is the bottom cover, that's the top lid with a hole for the humidifier straw and a handle to open and close the lid. This block will hold the battery charger and the SPDT switch into it. The main body has the top compartment for holding water in it and the bottom compartment for housing all the electronics bits into it. Schematic The circuit is very simple. By connecting an USB Type-C charging cable to the TP4056 Module we charge the 18650 battery connected to the B+ and B- terminals of the module. The humidifier module connects to the OUT+ and OUT- terminals of the charging module via a SPDT switch. Using this switch we can turn on or off the humidifier. So, these are the components that were in the DIY Kit. A circular atomizer, two plastic holders, a straw and the main humidifier circuit board. I customized the board by adding a couple of male pin headers to power this unit using a battery and dropped a blob of solder to bypass the push button switch. To assemble, insert the atomizer into the black plastic holders along with the humidifier straw. Then connect the atomizer to the humidifier circuit board. In my project the circular atomizer will be way far from the circuit board. So, I will replace the short red and black cable with a long ribbon cable. Assembling The Bottom Let's start by soldering the battery holder to the B+ and B- terminals of the charging module. Then, let's solder the -ve connector that will power the humidifier to the OUT- terminal of the board. After that, let's solder a loose cable to the OUT+ terminal. Now, let's slide the humidifiers +ve connector and the other end of the loose cable into the plastic block. Then, solder these two cables to the SPDT switch and superglue it to the block. Then push the charging module into the groves of the plastic block. Once the block is all set, push it into the back of the main unit. After that, using a couple of screws attach the battery holder to the bottom of the unit. I used hot glue to stick the humidifier circuit to the bottom of the unit. Once everything is in place, plug in the 18650 battery to the battery holder and push the white and black atomizers cable through the pipe like structure. After that, connect the atomizer's power chord to the humidifier and seal the bottom lid. Assembling The Top Be very careful while assembling the top. The atomizer has two sides. The one with more exposed metal area, touches the humidifiers straw. I soldered the atomizer to the white and black cable after passing it through the top lids hole. Then it was just a matter of putting the atomizer inside the two black holders along with the straw and then snap-closing it and pushing the setup through the hole. That's it, all done. Coloring I wasn't very confident about PLA being waterproof and not absorbing water leading to swelling and degrading of the biodegradable plastic. So, I went ahead and painted the inner bit with "Bitumen Waterproofing Membrane". Then, using Acrylic Colors, I painted the body of the 3D printed model. I gave the model a bit rustic look, but hey.. it totally depends on you how you want your project to look like. Final Demo To fill the container with water, you just need to lift the top lid and pour water into it. Once fully charged, the unit can run seamlessly for roughly around 10 hours. So, this is how my final setup looks like. Do comment and let me know if there are any scopes of improvement. Advantages Dry air causes moisture to evaporate from the skin and respiratory symptoms to worsen over time. Adding moisture to the air with a humidifier can counteract these problems. Humidifiers can help people who experience: cracked lips dry skin irritated eyes dryness in the throat or airways frequent coughs bloody noses allergies sinus headaches Disadvantages Dirty humidifiers : If the unit’s water tank is dirty, the vapor a person breathes will also be dirty. Too much humidity : excessive level of humidity can make breathing difficult and some allergy symptoms worse. Using hard water or tap water : Minerals from hard tap water can build up in the machine, causing it to wear down faster than expected. The humidifier can also push these minerals into the air, and a person may inhale them. Thanks Thanks again for checking my post. I hope it helps you.

Given two gaps in series both gaps would have to fire simultaneously. Say the narrow gap fired first; where would the electrons come from? What do you mean by not regular needed milliseconds? I built a CDI for a chainsaw. At 1800 rpm it worked fine, at 3600 rpm it would blow the 10 ampere fuse in the 12v to 350v up-converter. I solved the problem by buying a new chainsaw 😉

It is also possible that the manuscript submitted to the Patent office by Horvath was published exactly as is, including the two pages of proofreading errors I discovered, INCLUDED as designed in, to deter the people from any duplication. io games -
russwr started following Two Spark Gaps In Series?
-
Great! Now one more thing,- It just seems to me, that If the positive high volts fires first gap as wide, and 2nd gap to ground is narrow, and in series, doesn't the final spark gap fire at same high voltage as first? The first gap has to fire to GET to the second gap to ground, and both points (gaps) are electrically connected together? In other words, final gap has to be smaller, but with higher voltage as fired. Of course a CDI unit can fire spark plug with higher voltage at plug with narrow gap, but that is always in microseconds, not regular needed milliseconds.

Why do MOS tubes need to be connected in parallel with a diode?
ilianaboone replied to vbsemi's topic in Microelectronics
MOSFETs are often connected in parallel with a diode, typically a flyback diode or Schottky diode, to protect the MOSFET from voltage spikes and to ensure proper operation in certain circuits, especially in inductive load applications. Inductive Loads: When a MOSFET is used to switch an inductive load (such as a motor or relay), the inductance of the load generates a high voltage spike (back EMF) when the MOSFET turns off. This spike can exceed the MOSFET's voltage rating and potentially damage it. The diode provides a path for the current to safely dissipate, preventing the MOSFET from experiencing excessive voltage. Body Diode of MOSFET: MOSFETs have an intrinsic body diode (built-in diode between drain and source), but in some applications, this diode may not provide adequate protection or may be slow to respond. Adding an external diode can improve performance, reduce losses, and ensure faster response time. Flyback Diode for Switching Circuits: In circuits like DC-DC converters, the diode helps manage the energy stored in the inductor during switching, improving efficiency and ensuring stable operation. click here:Introduction to the basics of MOSFET -

ilianaboone started following What is Bluetooth AoA? What is the difference between it and GPS?
-
Bluetooth AOA (Angle of Arrival) is a positioning technology in Bluetooth technology, commonly used for indoor positioning and precision tracking applications. It is very different from GPS (Global Positioning System), mainly in terms of its working principle, application scenarios and positioning accuracy. What is Bluetooth AOA (Angle of Arrival)? Bluetooth AOA is a technology that achieves location positioning by calculating the angle at which Bluetooth signals arrive at the receiving device. It usually relies on multiple antenna arrays (such as multiple antennas on the receiving device) to determine the direction of the signal source by measuring the difference in signal arrival time, thereby determining the relative position of the device. Difference from GPS: Working principle: GPS: GPS uses satellite signals to determine the location of the device. GPS devices determine their exact position in three-dimensional space (longitude, latitude and altitude) by calculating the distance to at least four satellites. Bluetooth AOA: AOA relies on a multi-antenna array to receive signals from Bluetooth devices and infers the relative position of the device by the angle of arrival of the signal. It does not rely on satellite signals, but is based on the relative position relationship between devices. Positioning accuracy: GPS: GPS can usually provide meter-level or even centimeter-level accuracy, but this accuracy will drop significantly indoors or where the signal is blocked. Bluetooth AOA: AOA's positioning accuracy is usually higher than GPS, especially in indoor environments. It can provide sub-meter or even higher accuracy, suitable for application scenarios that require precise positioning, such as indoor navigation and asset tracking. Applicable environment: GPS: GPS needs to communicate with at least four satellites, so it is suitable for open outdoor environments, especially where there are no buildings blocking it. Bluetooth AOA: AOA does not rely on satellite signals and is suitable for indoor environments, especially in crowded places or complex buildings where GPS signals are difficult to receive.

Check out their online Gerber viewer function. With reward points, you can get free stuff from their gift shop. Also, check out this useful blog on PCBWay Plugin for KiCad from here. Using this plugin, you can directly order PCBs in just one click after completing your design in KiCad. 🔧 Step 1: Flashing MicroPython on XIAO ESP32-S3 and Wio LoRa E5 🔥 Flashing MicroPython on XIAO ESP32-S3: 1. Download the MicroPython firmware for ESP32-S3 from (https://micropython.org/download/esp32/). Make sure to download the **ESP32-S3 specific firmware. 2. Install esptool: You'll need the esptool package to flash MicroPython on the ESP32-S3. Install it with: pip install esptool 3. Erase existing firmware on the XIAO ESP32-S3 by connecting it to your PC and running the following command: esptool.py --chip esp32s3 --port <your-port> erase_flash 4. Flash the MicroPython firmware: Replace `<your-port>` with the port the ESP32-S3 is connected to (e.g., `COM4` on Windows or `/dev/ttyUSB0` on Linux). Then, run: esptool.py --chip esp32s3 --port <your-port> write_flash -z 0x1000 esp32s3-<your-firmware>.bin 🚀 Flashing Wio LoRa-E5: The Wio LoRa-E5 module communicates primarily over UART using AT commands. You won't flash MicroPython onto it but will communicate with it through AT commands from the XIAO ESP32-S3. For detailed instructions on setting up the Wio-E5 with firmware, refer to the [Seeed Studio documentation] 🔌 Step 2: Wiring Connections Here’s how you can connect the **XIAO ESP32-S3** to the **Wio LoRa-E5** module using UART: Ensure that you connect the pins correctly, especially the TX and RX, as this will facilitate communication between the devices. 🔧 Step 3: Setting Up Thonny IDE for ESP32-S3 1. Download and install Thonny IDE if you haven't already. 2. Select **ESP32** as your MicroPython interpreter. 3. Plug in your XIAO ESP32-S3, and in Thonny, go to Tools > Options > Interpreter, then select the correct Port corresponding to your device (e.g., `COM3` on Windows or `/dev/ttyUSB0` on Linux). Verify the connection by running: print("Hello from XIAO ESP32-S3!") If the message prints to the terminal, you are connected! 🧑💻 Step 4: Sending AT Commands from XIAO ESP32-S3 to Wio LoRa-E5 To communicate with the Wio LoRa-E5, you will use UART on the XIAO ESP32-S3 to send AT commands. Here’s a basic MicroPython script to initialize UART communication and send commands. MicroPython UART Communication Script: # P2P Transmitter Example from machine import UART, Pin from utime import sleep_ms uart1 = UART(1, baudrate=9600, tx=Pin(43), rx=Pin(44)) def echo(): rxData=bytes() while uart1.any()>0: rxData += uart1.read(1) print(rxData.decode('utf-8')) uart1.write('at+mode=test\n') # enter test mode sleep_ms(100) data = 0 while True: print("Send data:",data) uart1.write('at+test=txlrpkt,"{}"\n'.format(data)) # send test data sleep_ms(100) echo() # show debug data from LoRa-E5 module data += 1 # increment and loop test-data data = data % 255 print("") sleep_ms(1000) This script initializes UART communication on the XIAO ESP32-S3 and sends an AT command to the Wio LoRa-E5. The response is printed to the console. 🛠️ Step 5: Receiving Data on XIAO ESP32-S3 To receive data from the Wio LoRa-E5, you’ll need to listen for incoming messages using UART. The following script listens for LoRa messages: # P2P Receiver Example from machine import UART, Pin from utime import sleep_ms uart1 = UART(1, baudrate=9600, tx=Pin(4), rx=Pin(5)) def echo(): rxData=bytes() while uart1.any()>0: rxData += uart1.read(1) data = rxData.decode('utf-8') out = data.replace('+TEST: RXLRPKT','') print(out) uart1.write('at+mode=test\n') # enter test mode sleep_ms(100) while True: uart1.write('at+test=rxlrpkt\n') echo() # show debug data from LoRa-E5 module sleep_ms(1000) This script puts the Wio-E5 in receive mode and continuously listens for incoming messages. 🧪 Step 6: Testing Your Setup Now that both sending and receiving are set up: 1. Power up both devices. 2. Send a message from one device (e.g., "Hello LoRa!"). 3. Receive the message on the other device. 4. Verify that the message appears correctly on the receiving device's console. You can also monitor communication through Thonny IDE. 📚 Additional Enhancements Add Sensors: Connect environmental sensors (like temperature or humidity) to your XIAO ESP32-S3 to send real-world data over LoRa. Wi-Fi Gateway: Use the Wi-Fi capability of the ESP32-S3 to forward LoRa data to a cloud service like MQTT -Deep Sleep: Implement power-saving techniques by putting the ESP32-S3 in deep sleep mode to save battery life in remote applications. 🎉 Conclusion Congratulations! You've successfully integrated LoRa Wio-E5 with XIAO ESP32-S3 using MicroPython. This project enables you to build a wide range of long-range IoT applications, such as environmental monitoring, smart agriculture, or asset tracking. 🚀 Feel free to extend this project, add sensors, and explore the vast possibilities of LoRa and ESP32-S3.

Forlinx started following T113 Buildroot Cross-compilation Toolchain Replacement Methods
-
Cross-compilation Toolchain Location: OK113i-linux-sdk/out/t113_i/ ok113i/longan/buildroot/host/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc Before executing the method below, please delete the out directory and decompress the cross-compilation tool chain in the lower path of the source code./buildroot/buildroot-201902/dl/toolchain-external-linaro-arm/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz 1. Modify mkcmd.sh and mkcommon.sh according to the patch modification method in the figure. 2. Go back to the sdk path and execute the following command: forlinx@ubuntu:~/shuishui/OK113i-linux-sdk$ ./build.sh config It is modified to emmc or NAND version according to the actual board configuration. 3. Next, execute the following command to enter the configuration of buildroot. Enter toolchain Modify the relevant options as shown in the figure below: Enter target options Because hard-float is needed, the highlighted part in the diagram needs to be modified to EABIhf. Save and exit after setting. Enter the following path to compile. ./build.sh Full compilation may require an error with an environment variable, resulting in a failure to compile. If this problem occurs, execute the following instructions and compile the buildroot. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" In the middle of compiling buildroot, you may encounter an error as shown in the following figure. If these errors are encountered, you can find the corresponding source code and compile it through the tools in the decompressed cross-compilation chain. Subsequently, place the compiled executable file in the bin path and the library file in the lib path. Finally, continue executing ./build.sh until compilation is successful. After compiling successfully, return to the SDK path, perform full compilation build. sh, and then pack the image. Next, write a test program to verify whether the cross-compilation chain can be successfully replaced. Here, you need to compare the program compiled with the original compilation chain with the program cross-compiled with the current compilation chain. The part highlighted in the diagram is a program compiled using our original cross-compilation chain. It can be observed that it does not run normally. "Test" is a program compiled using the tools from the replaced cross-compilation chain, which runs normally. Additionally, the relevant information of the two programs can be determined using the ''strings'' tool.

As far as I know, AGM batteries use an absorbent glass mat instead of liquid electrolyte like regular lead-acid batteries. This may be a small difference. fall guys
