Project Update: I’ve completed the final phase (V2.0) of my environmental monitor. The heart of this project is a DHT11 sensor measuring temperature (in °C) and humidity (in %). To make the data readable, I used an SH1106 OLED screen as a live dashboard so I can monitor the environment at a glance. How it works: The firmware is structured as a Finite State Machine (FSM) with two primary states to ensure reliable performance: 🟢 NORMAL MODE: While the environment remains within safe limits (below 28.5 °C and 75% humidity), the OLED displays "SYSTEM STATUS: OK" and the RGB module glows a solid green. 🔴 ALARM MODE: If either threshold is crossed, the system transitions to alarm mode. The OLED displays the specific issue (e.g., "TEMP TOO HIGH!"), the RGB module flashes red, and the buzzer sounds a continuous alert. This project helped me to understand non-blocking code. Using millis() instead of delay() was weird at first, but it was the only way to keep the buzzer beeping while the screen was still updating the numbers. I also made the data visible on the display so I won’t need to check the serial monitor every time. Honestly, I’m proud of how this turned out. The link to the GitHub repo is in the comments. I'm still learning, so I'm open to any feedback or tips from you guys.

After a year of watching my 11-year-old son build robots, it was time to get in the game. I built a smart home climate station from scratch using the @arduino UNO Q (powered by our @Qualcomm Dragonwing) and Modulinos. No prior coding required. Now it’s your turn. #developers #ai

HC-SR04 crosstalk is a nightmare to debug. I just built an engine that detects it and tells you exactly how to fix it. Pure Physics. SimGap now supports 3 of 5 MVP experiments. Progress. #SimGap #Engineering #Hardware #Ultrasonic

Thinking of starting a community for people who want to learn hardware, work in hardware, or just enjoy tinkering with things in general. Reply to the tweet if you want in.

@DanielMurerwa Well, there’s nothing wrong with the Windows environment. But one of the skills I plan to learn on my embedded systems journey is embedded Linux, so I see using WSL generally as a tiny step towards that.

@EmekaBuilds_ This looks great. Is there anything wrong with the Windows environment? Why did you opt to use WSL for this?

I wrote a compound interest calculator program using C. I had an issue running it with Ubuntu WSL, but I fixed it by linking the math library using the -lm flag during compilation: gcc week4.c -o week4 -lm.

Just added the HC-SR04P ultrasonic sensor to my sensor collection.
