A technique called lock-in thermography can enhance the thermal resolution of even low-cost IR cameras, allowing for more detailed thermal imaging by periodically modulating the heat produced by a device and applying math to the captured images.
rtl_433 is an open-source program designed to decode radio transmissions from various devices operating on ISM bands. It supports RTL-SDR and SoapySDR and can decode a wide range of sensors, including temperature, humidity, and rain gauges. The software is written in C and is known for its low resource consumption.
CodeCell is a tiny, Arduino-compatible module with an ESP32-C3, sensors (light, proximity, optional motion), and USB-C charging. Perfect for robotics, wearables, and IoT projects.
This article details a DIY presence sensor project inspired by the Everything Presence Lite kit, utilizing a millimeter wave sensor and a BME680 environmental sensor for accurate motion and heart rate detection.
