•8GB OF RAM?!!• . . This board is wild! Just tested some features and it’s a powerhouse. 8GB on a $70 board is truly incredible. Anyone have any project ideas for the 8GB? Some sort of data analysis, machine learning, or visualization? . . .

•Force Sensing Resistor• . . . A force sensitive resistor (FSR) is comprised of a conductive polymer material pressed between two electrode layers, giving it the ability to electrically respond to changes in stress and strain. FSRs are often used in ergonomic or rehabilitation applications where pressure is applied from human interaction and the response is recorded or translated. Force sensitive resistors are incredibly useful for human interactivity because of their slim profile, inexpensive construction, and multiplicative geometries. The sensor used here is the RP-S40-ST, which is a 40mm x 40mm thin film FSR. An Arduino Uno is used to read the analog signals outputted by the FSR in a voltage divider configuration, where the force applied to the FSR can be approximated using the sensor’s calibration curve. . . .

•Soil Moisture Sensor• . . . I’m finally doing a project with these capacitive soil moisture sensors. They are really interesting sensors that use coplanar capacitors to measure the dielectric constant of soil and the water content in soil. Capacitive sensors like these require calibration, so i will be going through my calibration procedure for accurately predicting volumetric soil content with these! . . .

•DIY Arduino Board• . . . Made a tiny Arduino board with just the essential components. It functions nearly the same as an Uno board, without the regulator, LEDs, and other non-essential components. This results in a super low power DIY Arduino Board. I tested it down to 5uA in power down mode, and 7mA running idle. . . . #arduino #atmega #microcontroller #micro #arduinouno #arduinoproject #arduinofun #electronics #atmega328 #diyelectronics #breadboard #wiring #bluetooth #maker #engineering #phdstudent #graduatestudent #monday #techie #computer #robot #engineeringstudent #stem #code #electricalengineering #makerportal (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_xFY85DUuL/?igshid=bmpioouh058u

•Raspberry Pi Project?• . . . My last RPI project was way more popular than I expected it to be (it was on high speed IMU analysis), so I’m thinking about doing another. . . . Any ideas for RPI projects? Specifically, any projects that involve sensors or data analysis? Perhaps something implementable in Python? . . . #raspberrypi3 #electronics #mpu9250 #raspberrypi #accelerometer #gyroscope #sensor #rpi #maker #tech #makersgonnamake #education #learn #makersmovement #arduinouno #engineer #university #teacher #phd #phdlife #python #research #computer #innovation #technology #make #mechanicalengineering #ingeniero #diyelectronics #makerportal (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_fA06tjIjJ/?igshid=y23n074ntf5c

•VL53L0X• . . . This tiny sensor located at the center of the board is an infrared time-of-flight sensor.
