In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to build a BeatFlower: A flower shaped, USB powered “wall light” that doubles as a color display for e.g. music on your computer. I use the following components in this tutorial: 5x 12 bit RGB LED ring using the WS2812b controller 1x ATtiny85 microcontroller on a Digispark […]

** Update: I posted a new video for v2 with a lance ** I host Robotics workshops for young kids and I’m always looking for economical platforms to build intriguing projects. While Arduino clones are cheap, it uses the C/C++ language that kids are not familiar with. Also, it doesn’t have a built-in WiFi which is a

Burning patterns into stuff with the focused suns rays…. about the level of eighth grade earth science before this subject was eliminated by our current Secretary of Education. But what if instead of just killing small arthropods with a death ray and then seeing spots before your eyes for ten minutes you could neatly carve
First off, this is written with Arduino and the Arduino IDE in mind. I will be referencing various Arduino sources and datasheets for AVR chips. Secondly, what does this really mean? Manipulation of port registers allow for lower-level and faster manipulation of the i/o pins of Arduino and on any ATTiny microchip. Why would you

Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth’s surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so. The first kind is unpleasant and ill paid; the second is pleasant and highly paid. Bertrand Russell The joy of measuring work or in this case

This is a complete prototype for home media center remote control based on smt32 micro controller, stm32f103c8t6 known as ‘bluepill’ board. Suppose, you are using a PC for home media center. It is very flexible solution, which allows you to place huge video library into internal hard drive, or you can play video from the

This work describes a framework of ON/OFF, proportional and linear temperature control systems. The design and implementation of this process is done using LABVIEW, virtual workbench software. The project involves includes data acquisition, data processing and the display of data. At the initial stage Data Acquisition is replaced by a microcontroller system as a cost

While a bachelor’s in Computer Science will only take you so far, graduating with a master’s degree opens doors that weren’t accessible before without an MSC. For smarter thinkers who believe they have what it takes to reach this level, then better job opportunities and increased renumeration are certainly two of the key motivators. However,
