I wrote a short page about the snowflake project from the end of 2017. On the page, you will find a summary of the project and the link to the repository with all the required files.
Everything is open-source, including the design files for the hardware and a base version of the firmware for the project.
You need some experience if you plan to produce your own snowflake boards, but this is a beautiful and very rewarding decoration.

Have fun!

I finally published all design files and documentation for my plant watering sensor project. The package includes PCB layouts and firmware, but this is an advanced build: it needs SMD reflow, Atmel Studio and an Atmel-ICE programmer. If you're interested, please read the full post and the GitHub repo for details.

I created a logic-gate puzzle featuring a gated D latch: more artwork than optimized circuitry. I invite you to try decoding the hidden message—there are hints and links to gate and flip-flop basics in the post. I hope you enjoy the challenge; read the full article if you'd like to solve it.

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.

I guide you through building a compact particle sensor node using a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a minimal custom shield, with published Gerbers, STL files and example code. I keep the design simple and extendable—if you'd like to build your own networked air-quality node, read the full post for parts, assembly and setup.

I tested three inexpensive, easy methods to add LED lighting to my modular 3D‑printed lantern using USB power: reused LED modules, short 5V strips, and WS2812B RGB with a microcontroller. I share parts lists, soldering tips, diffuser advice, and firmware steps—read on for step‑by‑step instructions and printable models.

I wrote a concise guide for embedded developers to refactor Arduino/C++ firmware into clean, modular components. I walk you through creating Display, Buttons, and Animation modules, testing and committing small changes, and improving maintainability. If you'd like practical steps and examples, please read the full article.
