Bathroom fan controller - the idea




Ok, here a quick and dirty project.

The idea is to build a bathroom fan controller.
One of the bathroom I have has no windows, only a fan to remove the humidity.

I'm tired to have manually to turn it on and off, so time to make this automatic.

Internet Speed Monitor - part 1 - specifications

Recently my connection with the provider for internet, has some problems.
Running some speed tests from different computers shows really erratic results.

I should have something about 12 Mbit/s downstream and 2 Mbit/s upstream, some tests shows up to 15 Mbit/s-1.5 Mbit/s, others down to 1 Mbit/s-0.25Mbit/s

Not easy to pin point the nature of the problem.
