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 built a simple, modular CMake-based toolchain for Adafruit Feather M0 boards that reuses Arduino tools while giving full build control. It’s aimed at prototype work and HAL development on macOS and Linux. If you’re curious, read the full post for setup steps and examples.

I ran a five-day long test of my plant watering sensor and the results were confusing, so I started a new, more insulated setup using an Adafruit Feather M0, an optocoupler, and pulse-length encoded signals with interrupts. If you’re interested in the hardware and code details, read the full write-up.

I built a compact logger to collect long-term capacitive readings from my plant watering sensor. Using a Feather M0, RTC/SD FeatherWing and a tiny OLED, it logs averaged frequency to CSV every minute so I can study watering-to-dry cycles. Read on for parts and details.
