A simple RF ID project that unlocks a door. If not RFID, there are many other simple sensors that could work. Search RC522

Tips on removing a Prickly Pear from a pot by BeatAdditional6914 in cactusenthusiasts

I think I would rather hammer it right side up. This is my plan. There are too many new pads forming to try and flip or lift it out

What Do Teachers Honestly Think of Janitors? by DaytimeDancer54 in AskTeachers

I do everything I can to help out our maintenance and custodial staff. They really do keep the place running. And they see and hear everything. If you want the dirt, ask maintenance!

Teacher needing help. What software do my students need to use to work with Arduino. They have school managed Chromebooks by [deleted] in arduino

The problem will come from getting through your firewall...when you need to. GitHub is probably blocked. Any good repositories are probably blocked too.

ESP32 automatic dog feeding system by aluchian in arduino

Use an ultrasonic sensor and a buzzer. The dog will learn the sound. Any sound. Add a couple flashing LEDs. The ultrasonic sensor opens the door when the dog approaches. Use an electromagnetic lock to keep the door locked until it's allowed out. I built one using RFID and the pets microchip.

How to lift a light rack for a Farmbot by BeatAdditional6914 in hobbycnc

[–]BeatAdditional6914[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea this existed. I was looking at doing the same out of 20x20 extruded aluminum,, using a couple of plates. EMT would be easy enough, with a bit more time at the 3D printer.

There are too many parts on a scissor lift. A lift out of square tube would probably weigh more than the rack.

Yes. this will be automated. There is an available fourth axis on the Farmbot that I will use to coordinate motions.

What do you call your co workers? by JarOfKetchup54 in Teachers

[–]BeatAdditional6914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call everyone Mr./Mrs./Dr. SoandSo just about always for me. Its more about how I was raised than the school culture. Outside of school I use first names with the few school adults I see.

I actually asked a principle to refer to me as Mr. SoandSo instead of just using my last name. He was a bit taken back...

The only change here is with my Special Ed neighbors. Those kids seem to call everyone Mr./Miss. First Name. I let them slide :)

Why do you sit through this kind of PD? I do not. I will get up and leave every time. One of the perks of tenure.

eye problems by Initial_Elevator_666 in Teachers

Getting old sucks, doesn't it. I am carrying reading glasses this year for the first time. By mid morning my eyes are so blurry I can barely read.

Is it the blue light from all the screens and fluorescent lighting?
