LC and ESR Meter by Steve Matthysen. This enhancement to our Wide-Range Digital LC Meter (June 2019) adds capacitor ESR measurement - useful for diagnosing faulty equipment because increasing ESR over time is one of the most common ways electrolytic capacitors fail.
WebMite by Geoff Graham with firmware by Peter Mather. What happens when the PicoMite meets the web? Find out with this powerful project that combines a Raspberry Pi Pico with MMBasic, Wi-Fi and Internet connectivity. We put it to good use in this month’s Watering System Controller.
WebMite-based Watering System Controller by Geoff Graham. This advanced Watering System Controller does it all. It can change the watering schedule depending on the seasons, check the weather forecast before watering and alert you to a burst pipe or blocked sprinkler. Best of all, it’s easy to set up and use.
