At the current moment in time I have a few hardware projects on the go that have stalled due to hardware issues.
| Project | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Pollution Monitor | I have created a Pollution monitor using an ES8266 and PMS5003 to detect PM2.5 particles. This information is then displayed in a Grafana Dashboard. I had this working fine. But due to some broken cables the PMS5003 sensor isn’t reading correctly. |
| Smart blind motor | I decided to create a smart blind motor to open my blinds (which needs a stronger motor). I have this linked up to Home Assistant to allow me to control the blinds by a schedule. Once it is reliable I will use it to control my bedroom blinds. |
| Learn Kubernetes | I’m trying to learn Kubernetes to replace my docker instances. This way I will gain a deeper understanding of Kubernetes. This will then allow me to progress on my DevOps journey. |
| Learn Ansible | I want to learn Ansible to help automate deployments of software as part of DevOps. |
| Learn Terraform | To continue with my DevOps journey I need to learn Terraform to help automate service creation. |
| Get the AZ-104 Azure Administrator Associate Certification | I’m currently studying for the AZ-104 certification to build on my existing knowledge. |
