Sense Your Surroundings: Easy DIY Weather Station !

Unknown июля 27, 2025 0

A DIY Weather Station from Timothy Mwala on Hackster.io:

The AHT20 sensor delivers precise temperature and humidity readings, while the BMP280 adds temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude data. The Carenuity C3 Mini ties it all together, updating the OLED display every 5 seconds with readings from both sensors. With its straightforward I2C connections and ready-to-use code, this project is perfect for quick assembly and experimentation.

Why It Works

Since the AHT20, BMP280, and OLED all use the I2C protocol, the triple adapter acts as a hub, linking them to the C3 Mini without additional wiring. This not only speeds up assembly but also reduces the chance of wiring mistakes.

Software Requirements

To program and run this project, you’ll need the following tools and libraries:

Arduino IDE: The environment for coding and uploading to the C3 Mini.

BMP280_DEV library: Enables communication with the BMP280 sensor.

AHT20 library: Facilitates reading data from the AHT20 sensor.

Adafruit_GFX library: Provides graphics support for the OLED display.

Adafruit_SSD1306 library: Controls the OLED display hardware.

FreeSans9pt7b font: A custom font included with Adafruit_GFX for better text rendering.

How Android phones became an earthquake warning system

Unknown июля 20, 2025 0

Credit: Science (2025). DOI: 10.1126/science.ads4779

The Android Earthquake Alert (AEA) started in 2020 and is on by default with most Android phones. By utilizing the built in accelerometers Google has developed a global network for earthquake detection.

This is a clever and use of resources. Earthquakes and (earthquake-like events) happen in almost every region. Most detection systems are, rightfully, concentrated along tectonic hotspots.

Learn more from arstechnica:

If you’re the owner of an Android phone and live in a seismically active region, there’s a chance your phone has popped up an unusual warning. Not one that asks for permission to share personal information, or potential malware, but something far more serious: There’s an earthquake nearby, and you have up to a minute or two to get to a safer location.

In practical terms, AEA is distributed as part of the core Android software, and is set to on by default, so it is active in most Android phones. It starts monitoring when the phone has been stationary for a little while, checking for acceleration data that’s consistent with the P or S waves produced by earthquakes. If it gets a match, it forwards the information along with some rough location data (to preserve privacy) to Google servers. Software running on those servers then performs the positional analysis to see if the waves are widespread enough to have been triggered by an earthquake.

LSM303 Accelerometer + Compass Breakout

The LSM303 breakout board combines a magnetometer/compass module with a triple-axis accelerometer to make a compact navigation subsystem. The I2C interface is compatible with both 3.3v and 5v processors and the two pins can be shared by other I2C devices. Combined with a 3-axis gyro such as the L3GD20, you have all the sensors you need for a complete IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) for use in aerial, terrestrial or marine navigation.

Linux Breaks 5% Desktop Share in U.S., Signaling Surge in Open-Source

Unknown июля 19, 2025 0

Linux is making gains on the major platforms, primarily, Windows and macOS. For the first time Linux has surpassed 5% of the US desktop market share. The findings come form Statcounter.

Via WebProNews:

Linux has surpassed 5% desktop market share in the US (5.03% in June 2025), per StatCounter, driven by privacy concerns, rising costs of Windows/macOS, and user-friendly distros like Ubuntu. Community celebrates amid gaming and enterprise boosts, though challenges like software gaps persist; analysts eye 7% by 2027.

StatCounter’s metrics, which track web usage across millions of sites, indicate that Linux’s U.S. desktop share climbed steadily through 2024 and into 2025, propelled by events like Microsoft’s controversial Windows 11 updates and the end-of-life for Windows 10. OSTechNix highlights how this 5.03% figure positions Linux ahead of Chrome OS in some segments, with global shares approaching 4.5% when excluding specialized variants.

eInk Breakout Friend – breadboard-friendly adapter that gives you level-shifting and components for quick eInk connectivity.
24-pin eInk / ePaper Extension Cable + 24-pin FPC adapter – both together will give your eInk display a stretch so you can place it anywhere.

This is a 2.13″ quad-color (red, black, yellow, and white) display. It has 250×122 black, red, and yellow ink pixels and a white-ish background. It uses the JD79661 chipset, so make sure whatever firmware code you are planning to use has support for it. The Arduino library we wrote does all the work for you, you can just interface with it as if it were an Adafruit_GFX compatible display.

Note that you cannot overlay/mix pixels: each point can be one of the four colors but you can’t like mix the red and yellow to make an orange. Instead, check out our guide on dithering!

NEW GUIDE: Adafruit LM73100 Ideal Diode Breakout #AdafruitLearningSystem @Adafruit

Unknown июля 16, 2025 0

top angle view of the breakout

If your project is moving a lot of power around, and efficiency is key, an Adafruit LM73100 Ideal Diode breakout is a great way to keep your power budget tidy! As long as your power supply is 3~23V DC and up to 5A, use this in place of a diode to keep current flowing one direction. However, unlike a diode, you won’t suffer a 1V+ forward drop which just gets lost as heat. Instead, the internal chip has two back-to-back FETs, with a typical Rdson of 30 mΩ. That means that even with 5A, you’ll lose around 150mV. This makes it perfect for efficiency-sensitive setups like solar panels and LiPoly batteries.

The Adafruit LM73100 Ideal Diode Breakout guide has everything you need to get started with this breakout. There’s pages for overview, pinouts, CircuitPython, Arduino and resources for download.

SciFi Comic Books #SciFiSunday

Comic books are not superhero books. Comic books are a medium; superheroes are a genre. There are a great many romance, western, drama, comedic, and historic comic books. And, of course, science fiction comics are legion. Here are some recent great ones, from Polygon:

Much like the beloved movie The Incredible Journey, We3 is a story about three roving animals: in this case, a rabbit, a dog, and a cat named (respectively) Bandit, Tinker, and Pirate, all of whom just want to go home. Unfortunately, the three lovable pets are also escapees from a military facility that has bioengineered them into cyborg killing machines.

Armed with a heart-tugging sense of empathy often evoked by the sweet robotic chatter between the animals themselves, Morrison’s impressive gift for uncomfortable futurism, and Quitely’s always-inspiring attention to detail across the board, WE3 forces readers to question their part in the day-to-day weaponization that the future may hold.

SkyMet – Drone Meteorology #drone

R. Scott Coppersmith is developing an alternate to disposable weather balloons using drones. Uses an Adafruit BME688 – Temperature, Humidity, Pressure and Gas Sensor – STEMMA QT, details on Hackster.io:

Discarded weather balloons and radiosonde equipment can be hazardous to wildlife and the environment. We will use a quadcopter/drone as a reusable vehicle for the radiosonde equipment while taking meteorological data.

We will build a platform to carry an iMet-4 radiosonde on the Hovergames quadcopter, and interface the telemetry to extract the required data.

Our solution will use the drone to replace the rubber weather balloon thus making the system reusable and non-polluting.
