During winter 2019 I built myself a proper road bike. In this article I go through of designing, making and applying custom wheel-decals.
The Diesel Particle Filter Differential Pressure Sensor on my car failed, and lit up the check engine light. In this article I fix the issue and go through the steps!
In the summer of 2018, I built a VR-based flight simulator. The first version was just to just play with a computer with the yoke mounted to the desk, but I soon realized virtual reality would certainly add a whole layer of realism that would help train hand-eye coordination of flying a plane.
As a result I continued the project and added even more realism!
I further IKEA-hacked my woodworking project, DIY storage bed frame with Laksevåg motorized bed base and some 3D-printed parts!
I moved to a smaller apartment and designed and built a large wooden twin storage bed with a lot of under bed storage because usually, a bed just takes a lot of space that is not too useful for much else than laying in a coma and hallucinating vividly.
In this article, we change the Audi A3 number plate bulbs to LED's and get rid of the number plate light warning that follows.
Finland is known for its alcoholism. I decided to celebrate that fact by making traditional Finnish drink "Vappukilju", translating roughly as "strong home-made brew for first of May".

Quest for cheap booze
The mission was to make something that tastes good, is relatively cheap, ferments fast and most important - is strong!
I upgraded the mechanical sensor of my DIY IKEA SmartDesk to ultrasonic rangefinder to set it's height from the floor automatically which greatly improved its usability!
I removed the original magnetic limit-switch and replaced it with ultrasonic PING-sensor that could measure the actual height from the floor.
