SmartSpin2K is an open hardware and software DIY module that converts BLE signals from a cycling APP (like Zwift, FulGaz, RGT, Sufferfest, etc.) and uses the information they broadcast to increase and decrease resistance on a spin bike by rotating the resistance knob with a stepper motor. SmartSpin2k receives BLE signals from common cycling peripherals such […]
Last time I shared how to make a Mini DSO with MCU. To know how to built it step by step, please refer to my previous instructable: https://www.instructables.com/id/Make-Your-Own-Osc… Since many people are interested in this project, I spent some time upgrading it overall. After upgrading, the Mini DSO is more powerful. Specification: MCU: STC8A8K64S4A12 @27MHz Get

Project Background: In 2015, I started a kickstarter project of a miniature 3D zoetrope DIY kit. The next year, I started the version 2 of said project by further simplifying the kit and reducing its manufacturing cost. Sadly, both crowdfunding failed, but this is how the 3D zoetrope looks. *Zoetrope: a 19th-century optical toy consisting of

Atmega fusebit doctor, as name says it, device for repairing dead Atmega and Attiny family AVRs by writing fabric fusebits. Most common mistakes or problems are a wrong clock source (CKSEL fusebits), disabled SPI programming (SPIEN fuse) or disabled reset pin (RSTDISBL fuse). This simple and cheap circuit will fix you uC in a fraction
For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and built a pointing device with webcam-color-tracking based movement control. Our implementation allows the user to wear a set of finger-sleeves complete with buttons for clicking and scrolling and a red LED for color-tracking cursor control to interface with a computer as a normal mouse would. Users
Introduction Our project records and extracts event-related features from a 36-point relative blood-oxygen concentration sensor array from the surface of the brain. We chose this project because of a combined interest in brain-computer interfaces. In an attempt to balance cost, complexity, and sensor density, we decided to implement a NIRS-inspired system. After collecting data from

Introduction This project is a bicycle computer that includes velocity monitoring, calorie computation, an audio/visual alarm, and a wireless remote. Bicycles are great for transportation as well as exercise. Unfortunately, many bicycles across campus and around the world are stolen everyday. We designed a computer that would deter someone from stealing the bicycle while also
Introduction A polygraph (often and incorrectly called a ‘lie detector’) is a machine which plots in real time several human biological signals such as pulse rate, galvanic skin resistance (GSR), blood pressure, and breathing rate. This machine, in conjunction with a certified examiner, is then used to analyze a subject’s stress during interrogation with the
