I thought this was for the DHT sensor. There isn’t an opening in the Bruh case for it, so I assumed it was to provide access for the DHT to sense the ambient temp/humidity.
Thanks for the reply. I have been keeping an eye on 3D printers for some time and have been waiting for an excuse to get one. $250 is perfect too, like you said a good entry price.
We can start a separate thread for 3D Printer stuff and I’ll be glad to contribute what I can there. Also, if we create a separate topic we have a better chance of more contributions from other users who have similar experience to offer.
As a project, I am considering producing the BRUH muliti-sensor but using micropython. In particular, using the Zerynth environment, the same micropython code could be used on a nodeMCU, Arduino, Particle, and others, see below. Is this something people would be interested in seeing or contributing too? My main goal is to better understand micropython (and any advantages it has) but also to use some of the boards I have laying around.
Cheers
I’d be interested in following this; I know both Ben and Balloob were excited about MicroPython and I did a little reading on it myself. Looks very interesting!
BTW, Corey started a 3D printer thread here if anyone wants to continue the discussion:
I’m no expert but I’ll contribute what I can there.
i’m still waiting to get my PIR sensors, but I want to try making a frame using some nanobeam (mini aluminum 80/20) and then filling in the gaps with some plastimorph. I’ll remember to post some pics here when i finally get it all put together!
I’m going to 3D print this, however looking at the File on Thingiverse both parts come under
the same file, ideally I’d like to print them separately as I want to do them two-tone.
I’ll have to find a way of splitting the objects.
My PIRs finally arrived. Just plugged right in and now I have 2 additional motion sensors! (I got impatient waiting on parts from China so I had ordered 2 more from Amazon). I guess I’ll have to order some more parts and build 2 more.
Does anyone know an alternative for the PIR that actually works with the ESP8266, I can’t get the AM312 in the UK.
Also I want to use bare photo resistors as I can just use my own pull up resistor, the trouble is there are a few different versions, what one are you using?
*EDIT"
Just going to use some LDR GL5528’s and have a HC-SR501 PIR on it’s way… Needed to get the bits in the UK as I want to crack on with this.
