Automating an IKEA Standing Desk With Arduino
Standing desks are great. Holding down buttons is not. Let's automate an IKEA standing desk with an Arduino and some simple components.
STEP-BY-STEP BUILD WRITE-UP: https://bit.ly/3qZrA1Z
I'm new to electronics, and if you saw my video on coding chess in Python, you'll know my other electronics/Arduino project was a simple cable tester. Here I learn about MOSFETs and how useful they are in switching power on and off. Add in an Arduino Nano, and voila... you have a desk automater.
I'm so happy to have made the device after wanting my desk to have this function for so long. Plus, it gave me an excuse to finally buy my very own Hakko FX-888D. That REALLY made me happy.
I also had the chance to reflect on my foray into YouTube. I have no idea where this will all take me. As of publishing this, I have a grand total of 1 organic view on my chess video. Still, that view means the world to me. I hope you enjoy it as well, and if you're thinking of starting something new... please... do it. The world needs more passionate people who chase after their dreams. You'll doubt yourself, you'll make mistakes, and you'll think your work isn't good enough. And you know what else? You'll love what you do, you'll feel alive, and you'll learn more than you ever thought possible. I'm attempting that right now, and I could always use another friend to bounce ideas off of and share stories with.
