Description

I noticed during home office times as well as with multiple people in one office how quickly air quality drops, which affects concentration and finally performance, as it causes tiredness and headache. I want a device that continuously measures the quality and reminds me in time to make adjustments to the airco (if available) or when to air the room, or take a break outside. Parameters to measure are at least temperature, humidity and CO2 level. The device should be stand-alone and potentially battery powered, with the option to connect to other devices such as PCs or smart phones through Wifi, Bluetooth, Serial, ...

Todos

Select components and document electrical setup, create a prototype on breadboard. Create adaptable software. In parallel create PCB, CAD functional case and 3d-print, and finally assemble.

Outcome

Item completed and functional, documentation of the above and published under an open source license to allow others re-create.

Resources

ESP32 development board, MH-Z19C (CO2), BME680 (temp, humidity, pressure, quality), SSD1306 display, breadboard.

    Grapesss: a physical Shamir's Secret Sharing application [ESP32-C3 + Mobile] by ecandino

    drawing

    Description

    A couple of years ago I created StegoSecretS, a small cli used to encrypt and split a secret into multiple keys, using the Shamir's Secret Sharing algorithm.

    The idea is to re-implement the project using physical devices. One device alone will be useless, but when close together they can be used to decrypt the secret.

    On a practical side the user encrypts the secret with a mobile application. The same application is used to split the secret, and load the partial keys into different micro-controllers. Another user will be able to decrypt the secret only having at least N devices close together (using the application).

    I'm planning to use a couple of ESP32-C3 I bought, and build a very simple Android mobile application.

    Goals

    • Learn about Rust and micro-controllers (ESP32-C3)
    • Learn about mobile applications (Android and Kotlin)

    Capyboard, ESP32 Development Board for Education by emiler

    Description

    Capyboard 3D

    Capyboard is an ESP32 development board built to accept individual custom-made modules. The board is created primarily for use in education, where you want to focus on embedded programming instead of spending time with connecting cables and parts on a breadboard, as you would with Arduino and other such devices. The board is not limited only to education and it can be used to build, for instance, a very powerful internal meteo-station and so on.

    I already have one initial prototype ready and tested. The next iteration addresses several issues the first prototype had. I am planning on finishing up the mainboard and one of the modules this week.

    This project is also a part of my master's thesis.

    Goals

    • Finish testing of a new prototype
    • Publish source files
    • Documentation completion
    • Finish writing thesis
