⚡ Electronics & DIY Projects

🔧 How It Started

My interest in electronics grew naturally out of my tinkering mindset.
From smart home devices to flight simulator hardware, I’ve always been curious about what’s going on under the hood.
Taking things apart, modifying, and building my own solutions became part of the hobby.

🏠 Smart Home Experiments

A big part of my projects revolves around home automation:

• Tasmota devices – from smart plugs to shutter modules
• Gradual migration to ESPHome, to keep things simpler and more unified
• Preference for running only two main platforms, with Zigbee as a core component
• Custom rules, automations, and integrations with my network setup

💡 Custom Electronics

I enjoy designing and tinkering with small custom circuits:

• Soldering up boards and modules for specific use cases
• Playing with sensors, relays, and motor drivers
• Mixing mechanical builds (like 4040 aluminum profiles) with electronics for practical solutions
• Using microcontrollers to prototype automation or simulator hardware

🎮 Flight Sim Hardware Mods

Electronics also plays a role in my flight sim hobby:

• Building or modifying panels and controls
• Integrating switches, encoders, and displays
• Printing enclosures and brackets to tie everything together

✨ Why It Matters

Electronics for me is not just about the components—it’s about making things work the way I want.
From smart home reliability to simulator immersion, every little DIY circuit adds to the bigger picture.
