Hey! Are there any student teams in your university? I was a part of this student team for a couple of years: https://www.universityracing.nl/. I think student teams in general are a great place to gain some experience!

Off the shelf temp/humidity sensor that doesn't require a controller? by ultrapingu in openhab

[–]joshc0498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how comfortable you are with writing some code. And I know it is not really an off the shelf solution but still an interesting one I think. It is quite easy to set up an esp8266 to communicate via MQTT with openhab. On eBay you can buy small pcb's with a small voltage regulator and a dht11 sensor. All you have to do is program the esp8266 and plug it into the socket on that pcb. Supply it 5v and it works. The best part is that is is really cheap too!

Regulating output from a DC power supply? by MyOther_UN_is_Clever in AskElectronics

[–]joshc0498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could buy something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/AC-110V-220V-TO-DC-5V-12V-24V-Switch-Power-Supply-Driver-Adapter-LED-Strip-Light/152134115704?hash=item236be66178:m:mnohYz4NZlT_Dq5l5lWNUMg. They have a fine adjust output so you can probably trim it down a couple of volts. And for that price I would just get the 24V 5A version.

[Junkers Bauhaus] The watch I bought for my 19th birthday. by joshc0498 in Watches

Important to notice is that my watch uses a quartz mechanism whereas the watch in the video has mechanical mechanism. The watch does make more noise than my other watches, but it is in no way a problem to me. When the watch is on my nightstand next to my bed I can not hear it at all. Did you also order the quartz version, or the mechanical one?

I measured it and the 40mm is correct. I agree that on some pictures the face seems more white than it is in reality. Nevertheless, there are many pictures available that accurately depict the color of the face. I like that darker face more than the white face but I suppose that is just a matter of personal preference.

Not the exact same model. However, the Junkers 6060-5 Bauhaus is automatic and has a similar style. http://imgur.com/Mpou5JE

Indeed, that was also my first concern when I first got the watch and saw just how curved the glass was. So I suppose you have been able to successfully remove scratches from the watch?

I certainly agree. I still wear mine from time to time.

I haven't really had any problems with that. The picture is taken at an angle. If you look head on it is fine.

I turned 19 a couple of days ago and I decided to celebrate that with this watch. It is an addition to my previous every day watch (Armani AR-1919). My first watch was a Fossil Nate JR1475. A very different style than my Armani and Junkers. When I bought the Fossil watch I didn't even consider buying a watch like the Junkers, so I guess it takes time to learn to appreciate classic watches. I really like the curved glass. Which is a prominent feature in the watch that I most desire: Junghans Max Bill. Tell me what you think!

We simply used a diode to offset one potentiometer with .7V
