Re: SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor

Hi Lab is in a bit of a state just now, in the process of a good clean out, getting rid of the "might come in handy" pile amongst a LOT of acquired useless junk. That's my "Ivory Tower" up in the clouds, i.e. the mezzanine floor I built to elevate my status :) Scopes / analysers / soldering / test e...

Re: DSP made easy

Hi Whenever I could squeeze in the time I've been working my way through the tutorials and decided I needed a "white noise" generator so that I can experiment with filters a bit better. Six weeks later I'm in possesion of a Chinese generator. Now I knew it was a kit but must admit to being surprised...

Re: SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor

Re: IOT_Made_Easy - or not?

Hi

Admittedly I'm not that up to speed with this, but couldn't you use one of those generic 32's that have onboard charging? Power via USB and if "mains" fails, battery takes over?

Re: IOT_Made_Easy - or not?

Hi

The Raven has indeed disappeared but a Black Swan has taken it's place. Best not to leave that unattended.

Although both good, not as nice as Puffin (5000 years in the making, or something like that).

I have a few more bird related beers to get through...:)

Re: IOT_Made_Easy - or not?

Hi Work not holiday and I didn't know about the pencil museum. 2B or not 2B I guess? Fueled by Raven Red I discovered if I add in the IME component before I add in the Network Comms component, then no matter how many times I try the NC is a no show. However if I add the WLAN ESP32, then the Network ...

Re: IOT_Made_Easy - or not?

Hi I've been down South (or up North depending on viewpoint) for a few days this week in the Lake District. I've not been there since childhood and I'd forgotten how beautiful it is. Day trips, so long days and I'm just heading off there again today. No hardship with the scenery I pass through :) As...

Re: IOT_Made_Easy - or not?

Hi

Sorry, a little busy this week and I've not had time to post my TS mqtt file. If using the "free" version of TS then you are limited to how many posts you can make and also frequency too. I could only reliably post every 12 - 15 seconds or so.

Re: SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor

Hi "Me" moving around the PC to "capture" may have been in the picture so to speak when triggering / grabbing a pulse trace, but when only reading the display I'm not really near it. The sensor loops at one second intervals so I see when I or anything else is detected. If me, at 140 / 144 (140 / 4 o...
