  • Decode Rolling Code 433Mhz Signals with Arduino

    I’m posting this here because of my frustration in interpreting signals from a 433Mhz rolling code garage door opener based on the HCS301 chip with Arduino. To start with, I’d like to say that I don’t think it’s actually possible to decode the encrypted part of the transmission. But the 66 bit payload transmitted by…

  • Simple solar panel + cooler setup

            Just wanted to share my first experience with solar power! I have a room which isn’t very well ventilated, so I decided to build in a small cooler. To keep it simple, I decided to connect the cooler directly to the panel. The panel is 5W and can produce 0.28A at…

One thing needed was to maintain a rather constant temperature of 43ºC (110°F), so the bacteria can grow properly. Though you can buy commercial yogurt makers, they aren’t big enough for a gallon of yogurt. Besides, it’s cheaper…
