About me

I'm just a simple man who loves electronics. I live in Spain and I've studied electronic engineering in UB, University of Barcelona. ELECTRONOOBS all started as a simple Instagram account where I was posting all my daily projects and homework. I soon started working on this webpage where I’m currently posting new tutorials every day. As you can see, there is a bit of everything. Electronics with Arduino, basic circuits, robotics, 3D printing and so on.

Project - RETROPIE CONSOLE ON RASPBERRY PI | in Basic Circuits

I always enjoyed playing all these old games. I love quake, MK4 and all SEGA games. Having a console that has all these games would be great. And having this console made by myself is even better. Having this inside of a microwave, well that's a lot better. We will sue an raspberri pi 3, an SD ca... view more

Project - DC non invasive current clamp for oscilloscope DIY | in Basic Circuits

Having an oscilloscope it's a very nice thing. It's a quite useful tool. But with the basic probes you could only observe voltage values. What if we want to observe current??? There are many types of oscilloscope probes each with its own field of application. The probe takes care of the very... view more

Tutorial - DAFT PUNK HELMET BLUETOOTH RGB STRIP

This is a very simple project that uses the Adafruid library to control a RGB adressable LED strip that will eb inside of a Daft punk Helmet. In this tutorial you will find the STL files to 3D print the plastic helmet, the schematic for the LED control with Bluetooth and the Android App that I've... view more

Tutorial - PID BALANCE CONTROL

In this tutorial we will build this balance. It is controlled with a servo motor and an Arduino with a PID code. The idea is to get the ping pong ball in the middle. To do that we will use a IR distance sensor. By knowing the distance to the ball and using the PID code to move the servo, we could... view more

Project - 3D FILAMENT METER WITH ARDUINO | in Basic Circuits

For some time now, maybe more than a year, I wanted to make my own 3D filament extruder in order to recycle old or bad 3D printed parts. But a filament extruder needs a few parts such as the motor, the extruder, the heating block, the PID process but also to mesure the diameter of the output fila... view more

Tutorial - DIY DRONE WITH EBAY PARTS

I don't consider this homemade because I'm using only off the shelf parts. I bought all the parts from ebay for a decent price. I was looking for the lowest price parts. THe body I've used is 3D printed but for a few more dollars you could buy that from eBay as well. The total price is around 150... view more

Project - INDUCTION HEATER CIRCUIT | in Basic Circuits

How are these induction heaters work? We will look over the circuit and explain step by step how the oscillating signal is created, how current is induced and how the metal will get hot. Finally we use that schematic and mount a homemade version and see if it works to heat up some metals. So let'... view more
