NexgenTimer Arduino Library

LiPo batteries are great for drones but you don’t want to over discharge them. To allow our Flight Controller to monitor battery capacity we used a non blocking scheduler and packaged our requirements up as an Arduino Library, NexgenTimer.

Our library is an amalgamation of the MillisTimer and ElapsedTimer libraries with some application specific examples and an extra Timeout class. It only uses functions from the Arduino core API and hence should work on all Arduino boards.

It can be downloaded using the Arduino Library Manager and you can read all about it in our latest article on Medium –

Setting Up a Raspberry Pi Web Kiosk

April 7, 2022 By David Such Leave a Comment

We have a solar system and I wanted to keep an eye on our relative energy consumption and generation during the day. The SolarEdge inverter that we use has a mobile app and a web dashboard but neither refresh automatically. This article explains how I set up the Seeed reTerminal as a dedicated web kiosk […]
