Projects

Macropad with Raspberry Pi
Make a custom macropad with all the shortcuts you need. This project will teach you how to combine 3D printing and your electronics knowledge to create a useful tool for your computer. General Information Costs for the Materials: CHF 9Time to build: 60min What you do This project guides you through building a custom macropad with a Raspberry Pi Pico—a small, programmable keyboard that can run shortcuts and commands for tasks like editing, coding, or gaming. The Pico acts as the microcontroller, with mechanical switches wired to it and programmed using Thonny.

Plant IoT Sensor
Learn to make your own plant moisture sensor and connect it to a simple overview. This project will teach you how to use your electronics knowledge to create a useful tool for your household. General Information Costs for the materials: CHF 6.60Time to build: 30min What you do This project aims to monitor the moisture level of a plant to prevent both dehydration and overhydration. Through the use of a capacitive soil sensor we can measure the humidity/moisture level in the plant’s soil and present it in a real-time custom dashboard. That way, we can also set up automatic notifications to water the plants when needed.
