Why You Should Stop Using The Adafruit BMP280 Library
Most UA-cam videos and website appear to promote the Adafruit BMP280 library for pressure/temperature sensors but I have had many issues with it. Initial setup can be complicated requiring he finding and stating of the I2C address of the sensor. The recovery time is also very slow taking over 10 seconds to drop back to atmospheric pressure.
I suggest using the Forced BMX280 library by soylentOrange which doesn't have the above issues and is also designed to be more compact such that it can be programmed onto an ATtiny meaning it requires less memory and RAM:

CNC V3 Shield Arduino Pinout (Which Arduino Pins Connect Where On A CNC V3 Shield?)
Переглядів 10 тис.Рік тому
I've often struggled to find information about how to control the pins on an Arduino CNC V3 shield directly, so I decided to figure it out and hopefully help others with the same problem. When using the shield it is not uncommon to simply upload a version of GRBL which takes care of everything. However, what if you don't want to do that and want code your own commands? You need to know which pi...
How To Make Syrup/Sugar From Corn
Переглядів 14 тис.Рік тому
I've always known that the stalk of a corn plant tastes reasonably sweet and have always wanted to extract the sugar from them, so that's what I did in this video. The result is a sort of treacle, which when mixed with refined sugar becomes a quite tasty and fragrant addition to things such as cereal.
Combining Recycled Speakers Into One Huge One

Had a bunch of old scavenged speakers and figured I'd combine them all into one massive and obnoxiously loud speaker. Works a charm. Would've worked significantly better if I didn't burn half of my components like an idiot though. Hope you enjoy.

Playing Audio Through A Video Cable (What Happens If You Replace Digital Video Signals With Aux?)
Переглядів 725Рік тому
I thought it would be interesting to see what happened if you replaced an analog video signal with an audio signal and displayed it on screen. The colour defining component of VGA is an analog signal (unlike most cables used now such as HDMI and DisplayPort), and so is the output of an aux cable so it only seemed natural to combine the two.

    The Bosch sensors do have some parameters for setting up an IIR filter. This does make the response as slow as you observed. You can simply disable it or set it to more responsive (but still filtering) values. However when sampling at a higher rate, be aware you are heating up the sensor, so when you try using the sensor to measure temperature (and/or humidity on the BME280) you will get an offset. Another reason why you may get to see an offset in measured values is when you don't read all I2C registers in a single I2C command. If you don't then you may end up with readings which partially belong to the previous and some belonging to the new reading with iterative intermediate results. I have no idea what the Adafruit library actually does, as I'm using my own code for 5+ years now in ESPEasy as back then all implementations I found online did exactly do what I described.

    • @alexkolesen3765
      @alexkolesen3765 3 місяці тому

      Do you think it is possible to use BMP280 for a freefall altimeter? I need to get accurate readings every 100ms or so, but I experience the same delay of pressure reading going down way to slow as shown in the video. Also it never goes back to exact reading before the pressure was changed rapidly. Using BMX280 library did not solve the issue. I would appreciate your input so I can decide if I need to learn how this sensor works and write the code for it instead of using a library or choose another sensor.

  • @SmileyFace01
    @SmileyFace01 4 місяці тому

    Do you have any explanation for why this happens? Adafruit seems to be doing interesting things sometimes.. and I've found that it's often better to just make my own libraries for stuff like neopixels, displays etc. Although there are often other very good options.

    This only works on lower end squiers and other cheap guitars where the decal is on top of the finish. You can use 0000 steel wool also and it won't leave oil on your headstock that could mess up any finish you put on top of it.
