In my previous blog, I had shown the physical sytem containing a mirror mounted on two axis gimbal. Now, to know where we are pointing, we need sensors on each axis (azimuth and elevation).
Sensor integration:
For elevation, I used the Grove 3-axis a...
In part 3, we shall see the software that we use for this project and test each of the sensors individually before connecting them together.

This blog will discuss the integration of the required materials stated in Blog #2 and Blog #3. Below are the steps for integrating all the materials to develop our Seeeduino SAMD21-based Indoor Caron Dioxide Monitoring Device.
Prepare the required ...
This blog assumes that you already have the required materials discussed in Blog #2: Gathering the Essentials: Materials for Your Classroom Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Project. Below are the steps for testing the individual components together with...
To make mirror move in azimuth and elevation, I needed to mount it on a gimbal with those degrees of freedom. I figured that the wood would be easier to work with than metal. Also, I don't have a 3D printer which means I can't build it using plastic ...
Embarking on an indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring project to keep carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in check in your classroom is commendable. Properly equipping yourself with the right materials is the first step to ensure your project's success. This b...
As students, parents, and educators alike become increasingly aware of the importance of indoor air quality, one aspect often overlooked is the role of carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring in classrooms. While the term "indoor air quality" typic...

The components used in the current project are SEEEDUINO XIAO MCU, Flame sensor and buzzer the out-of-box MCU is demonstrated in the present blog.
Once the MCU is powered with USB the demo program in the kit will run and on-board Yellow LED wi...
Oh wait! Didn't I mention the toolchain to program the Seeeduino XIAO in Materials section in my previous blog?! How are we going to program the Seeeduino XIAO?
Well, the obvious choice would be to use Arduino IDE since it has all the tools that are ...
Aim: Design and build sun ray bender device that will reflect light into chosen locations throughout the day
Objectives:
Design mechanical frame, gimbal and gearing including loading considerations from the mirror

Introduction
Here we are finally at this last blog. The aim of this work is to create a simple home monitoring system, using the kit offered by Seeed Studio.
In previous blogs I told how I started using the XIAO SAMD21 and the sensors in the kit...
Cool Wave is a simple system that can be constructed by almost anyone in almost any location to mitigate the effects of a heatwave. It does this while avoiding the carbon emissions caused by using traditional air conditioning.
