All done in a day, and without pulling apart your machine.

lol, the baby is asleep and i wasn’t prepared for your intro
nice idea I’ll make this. I will open up my machine to add more functionality.
my washing machine has nfc
Great idea! I would love to try it but my washing machine doesn’t even have an LCD display. 🙁
I’ve never heard of instapush before… I love the idea! Have you covered it before? I will have to make a similar one for my washing machine. I feel I do more loads of laundry than the local laundromat!
please stop with the unfunny humour
Very cool! I was just looking for a push system to use with an 8266. I live away from my pet rabbit. I want to set a proximity senor near his food bowl that will trigger a servo to dispense him a treat, take a photo and push it to me. The camera parts still a bit over my head but I’ll upload some photos if I get it to work.
Need to know the Hopi term for washing machine and alter “Koyaanisqatsi” accordingly.
where did you get the enclosure
A recommendation for working with Arduinos is the Platformio IDE. Cross platform based on the atom editor and is perfect for Arduinos. better detection, completion, compiling. and looks nicer.
Pretty cool man! Now make a box that tells me if my spouse is in the mood or not so I know whether its worth coming home after work or if I should just go straight to the bar.
Great idea.
Where did you buy that prototyping bread board?
In the UK top loading washing machines are very not common and have never seen an out of balance warning.
I have the Miele WTH120WPH washer/dryer at the moment.
Nice. Could you explain how you used the accelerometer to detect when it’s out of balance? What sample frequency are you using? How do you distinguish between out of balance and a fast spin?
