It is nice that someone actually tried to build this even tho already build ones cost 5-10$, and my idea was to make something similar but i used actual smart watch screen and micro-controller but the attempt was unsuccessful. The idea was for me to incorporate such smart thermos into my diet and water intake up that i will begin building soon. I have already started to make a smart digital scale and addition like this would be perfect but the only thing you need is the distance or ultrasonic sensor that will measure how much % of the water is drank and to have a logic to calculate total liters of water filled and emptied (drank) in a day so i don't count it manually like i do with each glass now. If someone will try to do this make sure it will be water sealed because the water can damage the board or battery acid can get inside.

How about a timer function? Would be a nice thing to be reminded to remove the tea bags...
@makersfunduckКүн бұрын
It is already there, and you can set it up from your phone using BLE. It utilizes an RTC IC on the board. Additionally, it stops sending reminders between 00:00 and 10:00 to avoid disturbing your sleep.

Good, the bottle option was very interesting, you could think about using it for the gym with counting and resting functions, type of training... and an important function would be to vibrate the phone when you are away from the bottle, this would be interesting so we don't lose it anymore at the gym!
@makersfunduckКүн бұрын
I added a function to provide sound and vibration alerts on the bottle, but having a similar alert on the phone is definitely a great idea.

Nice project! You probably already know, but there are plenty of mass manufactured smart mugs and water bottles already on the market. I'm only bringing it up because I work in eWaste and they are frequently recycled, I don't think people ever find them as useful as they think they will when they purchase them. As a result I always end up seeing them as one of the wasteful tech products, something that for most consumers is sadly destined to go straight to the garbage. Not to put a damper on the work you did here, just wanted to share my experience with the product category. I'm excited to see what else you build in the future.

Peltier module does what you're looking for but both heating and cooling drinks require extraordinary amounts of energy, add to that the inefficiency of Peltier modules plus the need to vent the other side, that makes it a very very challenging project. Heating could be done with a simple heating element though. Probably like the ones also used in 3d printers.

I have no understanding of why anyone would want soldier as a hobby, to get tools that actually work is expensive, to actually soldier takes training and a lot of practice, it's something the crap from Amazon or Aliexpress is not going to work and the videos on KZbin only scratch the surface of how to do it. I know, I have over 20 years as a Certified Master Electronics Technician.

Boss, your soldering skills are really bad! Your attempt to take out an SMD capacitor with a dry iron bit is proof. For desoldering smd components it is best to add a little solder to both the terminals of the component, and then heat them together.

I would always look for locally produced tweezers and scissors etc. the ones from aliexpress are not as good. Even the very hard metal ones, they don't have any teeth and the points are weak. Compared to ones I recycled from the NHS in the UK, which have stronger heads but most importantly they have teeth, and grip everything very well. Thanks for sharing your experiences. I am also starting out, and it does get very expensive very quick. Tomorrow my hot air station arrives, I'll be practicing taking stuff off and putting it back haha

It's free, so I can't complain too much. It's fine for simple designs and easy to learn, but be sure to save often as it can lose data. It struggles with complex assemblies and may crash or have rendering issues. Development seems slow, and as someone who's used various professional CAD tools, it feels outdated, like software from the '90s. But it has its own charm.

I grew up as a kid having to use those $10 radioshack firesticks, hated them but its all we had, was happy being allowed to have a soldering iron in my childhood. If you can learn to solder on one of those awful things, you'll find you're an expert once you get to use a nice soldering station.

Great video man, Not many people make "what not to buy" videos. one of the reasosn is, KZbinrs in general make a positive video about a product because they are sponsored, they get nothing out of making not to buy videos, if anything they will stay away, not to be know as a person that gives honest negative view. with irons ive had so many but the best yet has been the Yihua 8786, which is one of the cheapest online. if anyone wants to et an iron is, they need to get one with temp control and display. The second thing is the tips. If i get the tips from the Yihua, and put it on the weller that is performing likecrap. due to the quality of the tip, even on a bad iron, its able to solder. some expensive irons, regardless of what the temp is, the material of the tip, doesnt allow it to be cleaned and tinned properly. My suggestion to make soldering more enjoyable is, More lead, dont be afraid, go nuts on the lead. Its our friend :) I know so many people saying Lead might be bad, while they have cigarettes' in the mouth and holding a vodka in one hand :)

I probably wouldn't use solder paste for anything but reflow soldering with a stencil and an oven / hot plate. For rework it's a lot easier to clean the pads, add new solder with an iron, and then squirt some flux down. That will hold your component while the air melts the solder and the component sticks into place. No need to worry about internal bridging that you can't see and you're much more likely to get a solid connection with the right amount of solder.

I have 7" LCD version of a microscope you had shown as bad. In my opinion, you're both right and wrong. if you intend to use it out of the box, it is bad. But if you buy steady arm for it (like for microphone), you'll be able to use it at the angle, and your usable workplace is actually unlimited. You may place it as close to the soldered stuff as like and magnification is no longer an issue. I'd actually recommend to buy steady long arm for any microscope.

for thick wire the fully automatic stripper works well(the one that look like a bird) for thin wire they just break the wire, you either need to use a traditional one with multiple hole or just one hole but you can vary the size of the hole, the one hole one obviousely require more practive to use otherwise you cut the strands inside too but it is the one i use now over the one with multiple hole
