DEVLOG #2

Today I reached a major milestone in my project: I finished the complete 3D model of my satellite!

After many hours of prototyping, wiring components, debugging code, and testing sensors, I finally assembled the full digital design. My goal was to build a compact satellite-inspired device where every component has a real purpose and the necessary sensors remain exposed to interact with the environment.

Current hardware:

🔹 Raspberry Pi Pico W
🔹 PIR motion sensor
🔹 DHT11 temperature & humidity sensor
🔹 16×2 I2C LCD display
🔹 Status LED
🔹 Passive buzzer

Current features:

✅ Motion detection
✅ Audible and visual intrusion alarm
✅ Real-time temperature and humidity monitoring
✅ LCD interface that alternates between the satellite status and environmental data

Next milestone:

📡 Integrate Telegram notifications so the satellite can send real-time intrusion alerts directly to my phone. After that, I’ll move on to 3D printing the enclosure, assembling the final hardware, and testing the complete prototype.

It’s exciting to see this idea evolve from a concept into a working project (a sexy one).

There is still work to do, but every iteration gets me one step closer to the final satellite.

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!
