I do/build stuff, without knowing how to do it.
Ship

As a big fan of The Lord of the Rings, I couldn't resist dedicating my very own space to it! Even though I don't know much about HTML (okay, practically nothing at all 😅), I decided it would be a really fun project to build.

Well, it's a pretty basic system, but it comes with the following features:

🕒 - Time display
📅 - Day of the week (both in letters and numbers)
🔢 - Date in numbers
🏠 - Welcome screen
📝 - Notepad
👁️ - Eye of Sauron (which has a secret function - this was my favorite part!)

It's not a huge project, but I'd love to keep improving it in the future.

Thanks for checking it out!

Hello dear hobbits of distant Middle-earth, and of the welcoming village of Hobbiton, here is your operating system running from the web.

Let’s see if the all-seeing Eye of Sauron can notice what we’re planning.

Proud of what I did this time, thank you all for the support :) see you next time on a (Hopefully) amazing project, this is everything, Andrea over and Out!

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!

DEVLOG #1

This is a summary about what I did from day 1 to day 3 (Today) of my newest project, a satelite, I hope u Like It:

Throughout the days, I dedicated myself to making it work, because I didn’t really have an image in my head of how I wanted the polished version to look, so I got to work.

I tested each component individually, which were:

  1. DHT11: A humidity and temperature sensor.

  2. LCD Screen.

  3. PIR: Presence sensor (Although let’s call it a motion detector).

  4. Buzzer: A little device that produces vibrations to generate sound.

  5. LED: Just an LED.

  6. Raspberry Pi Pico W: The brain of everything.

In general, I didn’t have many problems with the components, EXCEPT for the LCD screen. It gave me the most trouble because I had never worked with one before, and there I was for an hour trying to make it work.

Then I realized that I didn’t want to risk my components foolishly, so I did an online test (which I had to repeat because I didn’t do it right). But I already assembled it IRL, and these are its functions:

  1. An LED that blinks slowly when the satellite is active.

  2. The PIR detects when something moves in its field of vision, and triggers an alarm that is audible through the Buzzer, and the LED starts blinking faster.

  3. The DHT11 measures the ambient temperature and humidity and displays it on the LCD screen.

  4. The object is identified through a message on the screen.

There is another part of the project in development, and I hope to show it soon.

Devlog #3 Keyboardinator.

My idea was to build a shortcut keyboard because I’m terrible at memorizing combinations, and I wanted a tool for school/college/work that would let me get back to what I was doing, or simply let me pause everything instantly.

And that’s how the Keyboardinator was born: keys that press and click the right spot, letting me return to what I was doing or just leave it.

I’m already at the part of making it look aesthetically pleasing, and I’m not very good at using Fusion 360, but I’m trying. This is how it looks from above:

Teclainador is officially in the works! 🚀Just completed the schematic from scratch in KiCad. It features a sleek 3-key setup with vibrant RGB LEDs and an interactive OLED display. Aligned everything using the universal 19.05mm standard for a flawless layout. Uploaded the core project files to GitHub and the Hackatime lapse is synced. The ultimate ghost/boss key pad for students is coming together perfectly! 🔥😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁
