Sensor Platform with STM32

Done! Now, sensor data is collected by a powerful STM32 MCU with FreeRTOS. This will help to add even more sensors. For now, there are two: Here is a video of the update in action: Links: Photos bellow. Error happened.

Calm prototyping evening

It’s a good night to move the sensor platform to a new MCU and add some sensors to demonstrate working of the emotional core (roadmap). PR for the update (WIP): https://github.com/an-dr/zakhar_sensors/pull/4 Error happened.

[Bad Idea, canceled] Power post. Part one.

There are a lot of issues when you connect low- and high-current devices to the same electrical circuit. Basically, you are getting: That’s really annoying that’s why I spend last several weeks thinking how to implement power supply for Zakhar.…
