Impressto — Where Wires Come Alive — Electronics, Code & Animatronics

Photo of the Week: Ottawa River, Canada — September 2025

Curious minds are welcome here. I’m working on all kinds of projects, all the time. Some are deliberately obscure, others downright practical. Here’s what’s in progress:

  • Micro Web Servers — web servers the size of your thumb, but more powerful than PCs from the dot-bomb era.
  • Animatronics and other Microcontroller Experiments — ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or anything else that runs off half a watt.
  • Renewable Energy — backup power systems using solar and wind.
  • Smart Home Automation — keeping tabs on water, electricity, temperature, humidity, and cameras.
  • Educational Tools — building tools to help teach kids (or anyone else) how to tinker and create.
  • Keeping an Old Boat Afloat — yes, the old boat that needs love but rarely gets enough.
