Practical Hydrostatics with Arduino and ESP32

Curious about the physics behind hydraulic systems and floating objects? This course demystifies the principles of fluids by connecting foundational theory to hands-on electronics projects you can build yourself. You will learn the fundamental laws of hydrostatics and immediately apply them. By the end, you'll be able to use Arduino or ESP32 microcontrollers with sensors to read, interpret, and calculate key fluid properties like pressure and buoyant force, turning abstract concepts into tangible data. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of hydrostatics, including pressure, density, and buoyancy. - Learn the principles behind Pascal's law and Archimedes' principle through clear written explanations. - Practice interfacing pressure sensors and strain gauges with Arduino and ESP32 boards. - Write simple programs to capture and process sensor data for hydrostatic calculations. - Apply your knowledge to solve common engineering-style problems involving fluids at rest. - Build a foundational understanding of how to connect physical theory to practical electronic measurement. The course begins with the essential terminology and laws of fluid mechanics before guiding you through the practical steps of setting up your hardware and programming it for experiments. Each section builds on the last, ensuring a solid grasp of both theory and application. This course is perfect for students, hobbyists, and aspiring engineers. No prior knowledge of hydrostatics or microcontrollers is necessary to get started. Begin your journey into the practical world of applied physics and electronics today.
