Arduino esp32 thermistor project

-

 My first actual arduino project.

Based on:

https://www.electronicwings.com/arduino/thermistor-interfacing-with-arduino-uno

the code is here:

https://github.com/marsjupiter1/arduino_esp32

My little extra is to realise that thermistors are quite prone to interference and whilst a capacitor might help, so would taking an average of samples.

I plan to add an LED readout as well as the simple REST api.

battery claims

Battery claims Battery claims May 16th 2025, Advances in silicon electrodes  Claims of stable high energy density silicon electrodes.  Silicon has suffered from expansion issues preventing their energy potential being practically realised. https://postech.ac.kr/eng/research/research_results.do?mode=view&articleNo=19085 May 14th 2025, GM says LMR batteries coming in 2028 The claim is that Lithium Manganese Rich batteries offer 33% energy density gains over LFP at comparable cost.  Let's take that at face value and for the sake of argument call that $60kwh. That would make a 60kwh battery $3600. Add on the effects of weight reduction and that's 300 miles of range in a car where the battery cost really is no longer much of an issue. https://insideevs.com/news/759374/gm-lmr-battery-chemistry-ev-trucks-suvs/ May 3rd 2025, Batteries prices dropping as demand grows Contains an acknowledgement that the $100 kwh mark happened in 2024. This was meant to be ICE/EV price parity p...

A reliable tuya authentication in node-red

-
In passing when working with tuya and node-red I had a couple of issues, the first one was conflicts with node-red-contrib-crypto-js-dynamic and node-red-contrib-crypto-js. node-red just doesn't seem clever when it comes to duplicate node names. In this example I have replaced the "hmac" function with a copy called mj_hmac. This can be replaced with the hmac from node-red-contrib-crypto-js-dynamic or failing that you will be unable to pass the tuya secret key as a parameter and will have to enter it in the hmac node dialog. The second issue is that tuya authorisation is on a fixed timeout of two hours.  If you refresh the key at 1 hour and 59 minutes it will only be valid for 1 minute. This flow keeps track of the time remaining and refreshes just after expiry. I have not seen errors since. However as a backup plan I do have sub flows that if they see an error reauthenticate. If anyone is reading and interested I can post them as well. [ { "id" : ...

Making a "hash" of things

-
 I seem to talk a lot about "hashes" and it's easy to assume that people know all about them. Put simply a hash function takes an input and outputs a numeric value. The value output can be used in checksums, to speed data storage and retrieval and a million other purposes. Hash functions are varied any may have special properties. the SHA-1 hash for example produces a long 160bit hash value that is so unlikely to be the same for different inputs, it is used to index all revisions of all files in "git" repositories on the assumption no two files or their revisions will ever have the same SHA-1 hash code. SHA-1 is of course a little complex. A simpler use of a hash is if we are storing a series of values and what to see if a particular value is stored. If we put things in an unordered array, all we can do is look at each element of the array in turn until we either find the value or have looked at all elements. This would be very slow. An alternative would be keep...
