I received the foot parts of the plant watering sensor from Eurocircuits. As you can see, they have the same great quality as the head parts.
Eurocircuits removes any bridges from the boards in a very clean way, so you get the boards with exactly the shape you designed. This saves a lot of work and add to the beauty of the boards.

I recently built 'Always-On', a minimal bidirectional mains-to-Feather bridge combining a power sensor and solid-state relay for safe home-control prototypes. I outline design choices, safe firmware testing without mains, and housing tips. If you're exploring a similar controller, read the full post for a practical starting point.

I migrated several servers into a compact 19-inch rack and reworked my Arduino Uno fan controller to fit a 1U RND enclosure. I show choosing the case, adding a rotary encoder and filter circuits, testing signals, and 3D-printing panels. Read the full post for STL files and build notes.
Posted on 2014-10-31— C++, How and Why
I explain how C++ namespaces prevent name conflicts and why they matter, especially in Arduino projects. I walk through practical patterns—prefixing, selective using-declarations, and importing a namespace—with class and global examples. Read the full post for simple, pragmatic examples to keep your code clearer and conflict-free.

I ordered 'After Dark' PCBs from OSHpark for my pet-feeding device and wanted to share clearer, high-resolution photos so you can appreciate the black substrate with copper and transparent solder mask. If you’re curious about the look or details, please read the full post and leave questions or feedback.

I've released a small update to my LR2052 storage boxes: new split models (LR2052-300C-S), an extensive clickable PDF catalogue, more free models on Printables, and a new download area for buyers. I invite you to read the post for full details and download links if these designs help you.
Posted on 2019-07-20— C++, Improve your Code, Learn
I walk through C++ templates for embedded projects, showing how function templates work, why they’re type-safe, and how they can keep firmware small and fast. Using Arduino examples like circularShift, reverseBits and a template-based Sender, I invite you to read the full post to learn practical tips and patterns.
