Building a quick water level monitor

​Decided to document my workflow putting together this mini-project from scratch.

​The video walks through the whole process: looking up the best project setups, calculating measurements on a water bottle, and then the fun part, wiring up the breadboard with an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, a micro servo, some LEDs, a buzzer and lastly an LCD screen.

​Everything is up, running, and successfully printing real-time distance values to the display!

​I’m thinking about where to take this build next. What are some cool ideas or features you think I should expand this into?

Making sure I'm on the right track

Hello every body iam Moayed and iam 16 years old currently living in Malaysia and Iam an IGCSE student

recently I've been thinking alot about my future and and about which major should I pick, since I was a kid I've always been told and encouraged to be an engineer in the future mainly by my family they always thought I am going to be an engineer, so as iam growing I kinda started liking the idea of being an engineer, until now iam in IGCSE and I need to decide wisely what major should I pick not based on false hope or false dreams, I adjusted my self perfectly to fit for engineering major I took math, physics and even additional math and other extra subjects, also I have been interested in some engineering activities like electronics (arduino) and I've been liking it and I have given it alot of my time so my point is that I have been adjusting my life into majoring in engineering

Despite all of that I have been asking myself "**IS IT REALLY WHAY YOU WANT TO DO!!** ",

I need to make sure that iam picking wisely based on my love and tolerance of the thing that iam going to be doing my whole life, in conclusion I just need to make sure that this is really what I want to do, so I could really use some advice from people who can relate to what iam going through now

My first quadcopter project

hello everybody i've been thinking about making a quadcopter aka drone its been on my mind for quite a while now so i wanted you guys to help me with this project cause i'm still a beginner and any help or suggestions from you guys would help a lot so this is what i have gone so far with this project
the plan is to use arduino nano as a control unit with an external Bluetooth module(HC-05) and 4 DC brushed motors(3.7v ,716) with an RPM of 50,000 and i will be connecting them to a 4-way-channel MOSFET and a 1s 3.7v 500mAh LiPo battery as well as a gyroscope (MPU-6050) and i also got a 3d model from the internet it seems pretty stable and solid for my project, so i'm going to control the drone with a mobile phone app (Bluetooth RC controller)so this is the plan ,what do yall think about it, IF ANY BODY HAS ANY SUGGESTION YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO SHARE YOUR IDEAS.
THAN YOU EVERYBODY
