Anyone here into making techy things?

Last year I did some playing around with IoT stuff, ESP8266 modules, MQTT, Arduino, Pi blah blah.

Interesting stuff and I learnt a lot. Cheap to get into also.

That you George Junior?

Lucky you haven't yet bought the automatic anti burglar defence module

Having grown up in South Africa, you wouldn't be without one! ✌

I have a Pi3 Motion detection Infrared camera focussed on my SureFlap. Intruder cat has defeated chip reader and wanted to know who the burglar was��

should get you started.

You know, wiring stuff together, interfacing lights and home appliances with your RasPi/Arduino, etc. I have a cursory interest but more on the coding side than building circuits and soldering.

Anyone like to share their pet projects, and online communities they find useful or interesting?

Sure

I seem to remember a couple of posters being quite in to their Pi's. MF was but he ate them all so not much use...

Might be something fun in this lot.

I want to get back into model engineering, build live steam locos, 5 or 7.25 gauge. My bro has a lathe I can acquire/con him out of, Colchester, three phase supply tho...

I liked the idea of tinkering - wanted to make a prototype of an idea I had. Bought the solder, some resistors and stuff from maplins etc. The next step was to get an arduino - it's been almost 3 years now and still not started - but would like to if I have the time.

I used to build guitar stuff. Built a great distortion pedal which worked. Tried to build a wireless transmitter, but could only get it to produce frequencies that interfered with the tv signal at home.
