    Great review, I'd rather trade the forecast for day 2 and 3 for a static display of both indoor and outdoor. How long does it take to scroll between the two of them? My office gets super hot in the summer so I'm always looking at the indoor temp so I know when to go downstairs.

    • @BMonsterLaboratory
      @BMonsterLaboratory 6 днів тому

      hey there- Thanks! the indoor / outdoor temp alternates every few seconds...maybe 4 seconds, maybe 5. You can also download the app and get the indoor and outdoor temps pretty fast. I used the app on vacation this year. I was wondering if it rained and how tall the grass would be when we got back. I looked at the app and saw the outdoor graph. The temp dipped low and the moisture went up. I like the app, no complaints there at all.

    Do you know the difference between the v15 and the v16?

    • @BMonsterLaboratory
      @BMonsterLaboratory 6 днів тому

      I haven't used the v16 but, it includes a bonus secondary display unit for additional convenience. This allows for greater flexibility in monitoring conditions from different locations within the home. Both connect to the app so you can monitor weather but the V16 provides a slightly more advanced integration, with additional features like viewing and tracking precipitation amounts and more detailed weather trends. The v16 enhances this with a 3-day forecast and hourly/daily updates when connected to the La Crosse View app. It also allows for a more comprehensive range of forecasts, including future 6-day and 12-hour forecasts. there may be some other differences as well.

      hey there! You can manually turn the potentiometers to control the movement of the servos when using the PCA9685 PWM Driver or you can connect the potentiometers to the Arduino directly and control them that way. Just curious, what kind of issues are you having with the driver?

    • @BMonsterLaboratory
      @BMonsterLaboratory 13 днів тому

      hi! You can use an array of strings to store the allowed UIDs and then check if the scanned tag's UID matches any of the allowed UIDs. Try this. The sketch for this video was posted to Facebook. After modifying it, it would look like this. #include <SPI.h> #include <Servo.h> #include <MFRC522.h> MFRC522 mfrc522(53, 5); // MFRC522 mfrc522(SS_PIN, RST_PIN) Servo myservo; int angle = 0; // Array to store UIDs of allowed tags. Change these values to your tag UIDs. String allowedTags[] = {"F9 8A D2 A3", "YOUR_SECOND_TAG_UID", "YOUR_THIRD_TAG_UID"}; int numAllowedTags = sizeof(allowedTags) / sizeof(allowedTags[0]); int redLEDPin = 8; int greenLEDPin = 9; void setup() { myservo.attach(3); SPI.begin(); // Init SPI bus mfrc522.PCD_Init(); // Init MFRC522 pinMode(redLEDPin, OUTPUT); //LED startup sequence pinMode(greenLEDPin, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(redLEDPin, HIGH); delay(200); digitalWrite(greenLEDPin, HIGH); delay(200); digitalWrite(redLEDPin, LOW); delay(200); digitalWrite(greenLEDPin, LOW); Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial communications } void loop() { // Look for new cards if (!mfrc522.PICC_IsNewCardPresent()) { return; } // Select one of the cards if (!mfrc522.PICC_ReadCardSerial()) { return; } // Reading from the card String tag = ""; for (byte i = 0; i < mfrc522.uid.size; i++) { tag.concat(String(mfrc522.uid.uidByte[i] < 0x10 ? " 0" : " ")); tag.concat(String(mfrc522.uid.uidByte[i], HEX)); } tag.toUpperCase(); // Check if the scanned tag is in the list of allowed tags bool accessGranted = false; for (int i = 0; i < numAllowedTags; i++) { if (tag.substring(1) == allowedTags[i]) { accessGranted = true; break; } } if (accessGranted) { // If the tag is allowed Serial.println("Access Granted"); digitalWrite(greenLEDPin, HIGH); // Green LED sequence delay(200); digitalWrite(greenLEDPin, LOW); delay(200); digitalWrite(greenLEDPin, HIGH); delay(200); digitalWrite(greenLEDPin, LOW); delay(200); myservo.write(180); delay(5000); myservo.write(0); } else { // If the tag is not allowed Serial.println("Access Denied"); digitalWrite(redLEDPin, HIGH); // Red LED sequence delay(200); digitalWrite(redLEDPin, LOW); delay(200); digitalWrite(redLEDPin,

      Hey there! it sounds like a power issue. Are you powering the ISD1820 module with a breadboard power supply? Try measuring voltage at the ISD1820 module with a multimeter to see if it maintains the correct voltage. You can also add a 1000uF capacitor across the power supply to smooth out any fluctuations.

    hi there, impressive video how to drive the servos with the pca9685. I only have one question regarding the baud rate. As I know the Mega requires a baud rate of 115200 to communicate while the 9600 is for the Uno. Did this have an impact on the control or is this not important with the PCA 9685? Thank you and keep making such kind of videos for us to help with problems.

    • @BMonsterLaboratory
      @BMonsterLaboratory Місяць тому

      Hey there! Thank you for the kind comment. It's great to get feedback on videos to improve future content. The baud rate settings in this video are primarily for serial communication between the Arduino board and my computer. In this instance, Arduino uses serial communication to send and receive data between the board and the computer. The baud rate specifies the data transfer speed in bits per second and the baud rate uploaded to the Arduino needs to match the baud rate set in your serial monitor. The PCA9685 PWM driver communicates with the Arduino via the I2C protocol, which is not affected by the serial baud rate settings. So no, baud rate doe not impact control of the servos. Thank you for asking and I hope you enjoy building your Arduino project! 👍💪

    Is this the only way to change servo parameters? Im just getting into rc planes, and dont like that some servos come with a max of 70-80° movement. Wtf do they even put servo travel limits in the radios for. 🙄Suppliers also arent great about listing details like that. So i want to be able to change things myself.

    • @BMonsterLaboratory
      @BMonsterLaboratory Місяць тому

      Hi there! There are other ways to change the parameters, you don't have to use a programmable microcontroller. I found "DROK Signal Generator, DC 3.3-30V Function Generator 5-30mA LCD Display PWM Pulse Frequency Duty Cycle Rectangular Wave Square Wave Signal Generator" on Amazon. I have never used particular item. The servo motor interprets the pulse width of the PWM signal to determine its position. The frequency sets the period of the signal, and the duty cycle determines the length of the high pulse within that period. May be worth checking out, or maybe something like it depending on your needs. This one may be too big for a plane, but maybe there a smaller version of this. Many rc planes have servos that restrict movement to prevent overtravel. Like other RC vehicles, I assume you can upgrade the servos. I imagine changing to a servo with more movement would drastically change the controls, especially for a plane. Check out the data sheet for the servo before you purchase it to make sure it has the movement you want. It sounds like you found a fun hobby once you get everything going!

      Hey there! Include the liquid crystal library (LiquidCrystal.h) and change text in lcd.print line from "hello, world" to whatever you want. Play around with that, look up lcd display example code that you can find online, use arduino ide reference page for functions, variables, and structure. I found this very helpful when i started. www.arduino.cc/reference/en/ void setup() { // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows: lcd.begin(16, 2); // Print a message to the LCD. lcd.print("hello, world!"); }

      @BMonsterLaboratory Місяць тому

      Hey there! Sorry for late reply, been traveling the past few days. I have a 5v10a supply connected. If you need more current for a lot of servos, try using an external power source and just connect ground and servo signal wires to the driver board for pwm control. I would not put more than 10amp supply on v+ to power the board. I believe this is the safest approach. I hope it helps

    First, I'm a beginner. Zero experience. You lost me when you started plugging cords into the White device. Where did the cords come from? And how would you fit that white device in the frame? Or the battery pack? 2. Where did that white device come from? 3. You said something about uploading recordings, but will it let you record directly? If not, what do you have to get to do that? 4. Is there a miniature version of all this? I have motion activated mirrors for 2 birds that are having some issues. They aren't sold anymore. That's why I'm here...in case I need to create new mirrors for them.

    • @BMonsterLaboratory
      @BMonsterLaboratory Місяць тому

      Hey there! The cords are jumper wires and they come with pin connectors on the end that allow you to attach them to the breadboard (long white plastic thing) and devices such as the motion sensor. Ideally, you would 3d print or purchase a pir motion sensor case that you could mount the sensor. You could set this up remotely with 5v dc battery supply if you need to. The white device is the HC-SR501 Pir Motion IR Sensor which I usually buy from Amazon. You can not record directly but you can add one mp3 recording to this board. It can be up to almost 3min in length I believe. You can record sounds form a video on your pc or go to freesound.org and download a free sound. There are many other places as well. You can make a miniature version of this. This was somethin I set up on a breadboard for fun and some people have used it in their projects. You would have to make it compact and give it a case or a small box to hold it, but it's totally doable. Do a Facebook search for #bmonsteralarm (just type bmonsteralarm into the search) and you should get an old post that shows a diagram of this setup. There are other ways to set this up if you think you may need something different. If you have any questions while you're building it, i'm happy to help.

      Good to know, but are you referring to repeat video from previous long form videos or repeat the same video multiple times in one short? I started making shorts again and trying to see what works and what doesn't work - I got the "doesn't work" category nailed down pretty good! 😂

      @@BMonsterLaboratory Just something i observed when iterating many TikTok videos. Repeating the clip is bad for two reasons. 1. If the video ends, it gets replayed anyways. Every rewatch is a counted variable in the algorithm, the more loops the better, ergo, the shorter and more unnoticable the loop, the better. If you repeat the video "manually" you will not get that counter counting up 2. It is likely that the content is scanned, for, for example, identical content, multiple of the same videos, then it could be detected and punished.

      make sure that the destination path where you're trying to save or access files is not too deep within the directory structure. Try renaming some of the folders in the path if any are too long.

    Hey, be carefull when copying the schematic from the video. I tried to copy what was done in the video, but the motor kept spinning in random directions. I followed the instructions as closely as possible, but it still didn't work for me. I even used the same model of motor and driver. As a last ditch effort i swapped a couple of the wires going from the driver to the stepper motor in an act of desperation, and after dozens of hours of brain-rott it magically worked. Not sure if the diagram is wrong or i had a faulty product but it finally worked. Im not mad at the creator, i just want share my experience, so that it may help at least someone out there. Kind regards Hen ry
