Tl;dr: I launched an app. Get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myopia.measurer The original project About 18 months ago (wow, time flies!) I built an Arduino-based device to measure your eyesight (read more about it here). However, it turns out taking it to the next stage - that is, PCB design and manufacturing - is prohibitively expensive (hundreds of £s). Using a breadboard-based device on a regular basis was not convenient, due to the physical size and fragility.

Imagining the Future of Energy

Energy has been instrumental in human civilisation - and will continue to be so into our future.

Introduction Eyesight The Project Images Circuit Diagram Code Video Conclusion Comments? Introduction I always loved tinkering with electronics - that’s why I did Electronics at A-Level and went on to do Electrical & Electronic Engineering at university. However, over the last few years, due to work, travel, and other life goings-on, I haven’t had a chance to play around. Recently I saw an Arduino kit on sale on Amazon and decided to jump back in! Especially as I found some software so you can use one as a PLC… Watch this space.
