Hello everyone,
I studied in a technical high school where I studied electronics as the main subject in my 8,9&10.

I was fascinated to learn about Resistors, capacitors and all other components. I even learned to solder and make half/full bridge circuits.

Then I took commerce in 12th and didn’t really get a chance to do electronics again.

Now I’m my 30s and I’m trying to spark that interest again. Spending my adult money on things I wanted.

I only learned the basics and not about microcontrollers. Now I work in IT and I’m trying to combine my coding skill with electronics.

I ordered the soldering kit, some breadboards, wires, ESP32, capacitive moisture sensor.

My first goal/mini project is to make a moisture meter for my indoor plants. Read the data, send it to RaspberryPi over wifi and make a dashboard about it.

Order the above items from Robocraze.
Multimeter from Amazon
Moisture sensors (not in this pic) from Techiesms

Wish me luck!

Went on a solo one day ride to Yercaud to complete my run in.
Route: Bangalore - Sittlingi - Yercaud - Salem - Bangalore.

I’m getting back to riding regularly after not being so active riding from past few years.

Anyone around Electronic city ? Would love to connect.

Hello ECT people, I’m looking for like minded people who love to talk about and ride bikes. We can do quick tea/coffee meetups, discuss about bike and even go on occasional rides.

Please comment or DM me if you are interested.

I just got my first service done of KTM Adventure 390 (350cc) today. I opted for Motul oil. Total cost was ₹2568. They tried selling me the Prolube fuel system cleaner / additive which I refused. I asked them not to wash the bike as well after seeing how the washing guy was handling the bikes.

The oil level is way above the max mark. The picture I have attached is when the bike is in side stand. When I keep it upright, it goes up even. No gap visible at all.

They have added 1.7L of engine oil even though manual says 1.5/1.6L. I asked the guy multiple times about it being above the max level and he kept saying “No sir, that’s the standard amount we use for engine oil, don’t worry about the level. It is the same measurement for all the bikes and not just your vehicle. Anyway the engine has 10 years warrant and even if something happens the company will replace it”. If the engine is gonna get f*cked, almost all engine is gonna go kaput.

I’m not sure if I should remove the extra oil as some of you have done here.

I complained about the rattling noise from the panel around the ignition key which is not fixed.

I’vee seeing many nice wallpapers from Europe and it always wanted to make me travel there. I used to think how lucky the people that live close to there to see such beautiful places near them.

Today, it showed me Thimmapana Betta and it instantly brought a smile on my face. I had visited this place in 2017. It made me think that if someone outside India would have seen it, they must also be thinking the same way as I thought.

Usually the invading creepers are considered ugly but this one is an exception.

This is everywhere in monsoon time.

I went shopping for creepers specifically. But the shopkeeper said some names for which I’m not sure if it is the right name. I’ll include the name he mentioned below.

Pic 6,7: “Garlic vine”

Not sure if they are the real name. Could someone please identify?

I think I’m getting obsessed with plants.

Today I decided to join my mom and sister in cleaning up some bushes and planting few plants outside the compound.

It was cloudy and rain had just taken a break so thr weather was perfect for this work.

2-3 hours of very satisfying work.
