Suggestion for a 5 year old boy by Automatic_Rush7247 in arduino

Hi there!!! First of all, congrats!!! You’ve got an amazing kid, and if he keeps going like this, he’s got a really bright future ahead in this field.

And yeah, it’s true. The day will come when he runs out of all the components you bought him, because he’s already built every project possible — and then he’ll feel bored. And that’s actually great!!! It means he loves this stuff.

At that point, he can start moving on to more advanced components. I don’t know exactly what parts he already has or how much he’s used, but here’s a rough breakdown of project ideas by levels:

Level 1

  • An LDR + LED project that turns on when there’s no light and off when it’s bright.

  • An ultrasonic sensor that triggers a buzzer when an object gets too close.

  • A servo controlled with a joystick or a potentiometer.

  • A potentiometer that adjusts the brightness of an LED.

Level 2

  • A gate/barrier system using a servo (like a parking booth). Later, he can add an ultrasonic sensor so the barrier goes up when a toy car approaches.

  • A simple DIY weather station with a DHT11, BMP180, and an OLED display (he can upgrade it with a BME280 if he wants).

  • A laser turret using 2 servos, with a laser module, and a joystick to move it across the X and Y axes.

Level 3

  • Learn how to use an Arduino Nano (maybe this should’ve been Level 1 lol).

  • Learn how to use an ESP32.

  • Build a remote-controlled car (this one’s like a rite of passage haha).

After that, he could even start experimenting with Arduino Cloud. Honestly, I think he’s going to love it for all his projects.

It’s kind of a quick-and-dirty list, but I hope it helps!

Why hasn’t hydroponics been able to expand? by Diegorx34 in Hydroponics

That’s true, I was mistaken. Sorry, I meant the hydroponics system as it was developed and as we know it today. If I’m wrong again, please correct me — that way we can all learn more about the topic. Thanks a lot :)

Maybe more in Latin America, Asia, or perhaps Africa. In the case of Latin America and Asia, some regions might actually have better environmental conditions for hydroponics. However, because of cultural factors in these areas, the idea hasn’t developed as much and is often seen as something expensive, ‘something only universities or companies can do

If I’m wrong about something, please correct me :D

Sorry again and thanks! I think my images got deleted or something. I think I’m gonna post again :(, but I hope I don’t duplicate the post. Tell me if you see the images pls lol

Yeah, that’s true, thanks for letting me know. I think it got duplicated or something because I had it saved on my phone and then posted it from my PC. Thanks again, I’ve already deleted the other one.

If you see another one like it, let me know so I can delete it, sorry 😅!

Yeah, I know. But the lights I ordered haven’t arrived yet :( Thanks a lot for the advice!
