The Internet of things (IoT) describes the network of physical objects—“things”—that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the Internet. Things have evolved due to the convergence of multiple technologies, real-time analytics, machine learning, commodity sensors, and embedded systems. Traditional fields of embedded systems, wireless sensor networks, control systems, automation (including home and building automation), and…
Ok so after a year it’s actually pretty awesome, you just have to take it apart and keep it maintained ship shape. The Chain, The Chain. Keep it clean and lubed Brand new Bike Issue number 4. Can you see the workmanship defect? Flat tire. Not a object from the road but a issue with…

The energy density of batteries can be displayed in two different ways: gravimetric energy density and volumetric energy density. The gravimetric energy density is the measure of how much energy a battery contains in proportion to its weight. This measurement is typically presented in Watt-hours per kilogram (W-hr / kg). The volumetric energy density, on…
This is putting together the concept of a motor vibration sensor and data logger. The need comes from wanting to get vibration reading from the outboard locations of a flying drone. The idea is to have a unit that can attach to the drone strut close to the motor propeller combination. There are a few…
