🔋 Battery tester using an ESP32, micro SD cards and Arduino
This project is a datalogger to check the capacity of 18650 batteries by determining if they are in good condition or they must be discarded.
The data that is logged in the SD card is: correct, power, voltage, LM35 temperature and execution time.
In order to not discharge the battery without having connected all the components, there is a button to start the discharge of the battery. Once the button is pressed, the relay closes, the battery starts to discharge and the data is logged every 5 seconds on the SD card.
When the battery is bellow 2.8V, the relay opens to prevent over discharging the 18650 battery and also appears a new display showing the principal data acquired by the ESP32.

📟 Machine Learning current sensor snoops on MCUS
Spying on Microcontrollers using Current Sensing and embedded TinyML models
Anyone who’s ever tried their hand at reverse engineering a piece of hardware has wished there was some kind of magic wand you could tap on a PCB to understand what its doing and why. We imagine that’s what put security researcher [Mark C] on the path to developing CurrentSense-TinyML, a fascinating proof of concept that uses machine learning and sensitive current measurements to try and determine what a microcontroller is up to.

💻 Basics of the Python Programming Environment
Python is one of the most popular languages for IoT, AI, and ML – and it pays well, too!
So, you want to learn more about Python. That’s a good decision for several reasons. First, the latest TIOBE Programming Community Index for March 2021 lists Python among the top three most popular languages. While C and Java continue to battle it out for first and second place (see Apr 2020 ratings), Python remains solidly in the third position.
Even better news comes from the annual RedMonk Ranking report in which Python outranks JAVA to become the second most popular programming language. Over the last 5 years, Python has experienced growth of around 18-19 %. The language ranks among the most popular in several other renowned platforms also such as Stack Overflow, Github, etc.

📟 PID Desktop Marble Balancer (Glo Rev 2)
The PID controller is one of the first things taught to engineering students and designers. Its simplicity and versatility make it easy to understand and implement.
This ball balancer uses the PID feedback loop to balance a marble perfectly on the center of a beam. Additionally, it contains interactive LEDs which gauge the relative position of the marble. It also utilizes one of the most well-known simple machines: the lever.
The device is driven by a prototype of Glo Rev 2, a new RGB LED strip controller. The new chip is Wi-Fi compatible, works with Amazon Echo/Google Home, and has plenty of I/O to add modifications.
