LoRa is relatively new in IoT. (Actually, not that new, but it's taking time to percolate into the ecosphere.) For those that don't know, LoRa stands for "Long Range." We all know the problem of putting a great little sensor at the foot of

Ill keep it short. Since my last project, the smart-cloud-like-lamp, I wanted to learn how to use NTP synchronization. Time synchronization issues came up quite often while I developed autonomous drones back in The MakersPlace, and (surprisingly) it's also come up here at Augury's IoT devices.

While playing with cement was fun, I am more a locally-distributed-Server-Client-architectured-HTTP-protocolled-cloud-like-smart-lamp-maker kinda guy. Bonus: Try to find Mufasa (my dog) in one of the images A few months ago I've seen on Pinterest a nice picture: And thought: I can make that. Probably even smarter, and cooler. Well,

How to accurately control the timing and motors of a stepper motor. A practical example on an unusual project. A watch winder is typically a small box with a motor that is powered by a battery. If you wear your Rolex or mechanical watch daily, it is likely that you

Couple of years back, I've bought an automatic watering system, to water my plants on the window (back then, we lived on 3rd floor). At first It was nice, and finally the plants stayed alive. But as time passed, I've noticed that the watering system sipping

A few months ago I documented the process for creating a large 7-segment LED display. After figuring out the pin locations, the wiring, and the code, I attached an Arduino Nano to a daughter board to create a beautiful self-contained 4-digit display. ###Adding a Real-Time Clock (RTC) When co-blogger, Allan,

This is a continuation of the post I wrote more than two years ago where I explored the pin layout of a large LED dot matrix display. As you can see from the photo below, I eventually made it into a clock/thermometer. The problem was, it had lots of

Last year we celebrated my daughter's first birthday, and as a present I've built her a busy-board and described all the build up on this post. During the build-up I left a lot of upgradeable parts such as knobs, switches, screens which weren't operated

Here in Israel the climate can get quiet extreme, about 45° (113f) and about 90% humidity. For a laptop, it gets even hotter, when its internal parts can achieve even 90°C!. The hotter it is outside, the harder for the laptop to cool itself. And, the stronger the laptop,

Last weekend, my friends and I, went to a Hackathon, in the field of Medicine. And WON :) As a Hackathon can be - At first a Real-World problems presented to us from the realm **hospitality**. Some of the problems where interesting and some not. At first, we chose the "

Last week I once again participated in the great Geekcon event. If you haven't heard of it, Geekcon is an one weekend event where people come to created massive useless projects. The main idea is to enjoy the process of building the project rather than completing it. You

We have reached that age where friends and family around starting to have babies. Giving my friend’s project, I've decided to build some nice gifts, and via these gifts, dive in for the first time into the Arduino/IOT world. Well, the project is A baby sleeping-environment-sensing
