Projects
This page will document a couple of neat projects that I’ve done over the past years, mainly electronics and some woodworking. Unfortunately, there is not much time beside work, athletics and, you know … life, so it will take me some time to write documentation and upload it here. The first project to be shown here will be a weather station/home monitoring system with persistent logging of several sensors indoors (CO2, temperature, pressure, humidity, brightness, home server load/temperatures/network statistics, …) and outdoors (temperature, humidity, brightness, …).
Once I find the time, I will add more projects and documentation. Also check my GitHub profile which might be more up to date (link in the footer).
