Rolly Robot
All my friends have been making robots that run around the floor and I felt left out so this is my installment. What I Liked Their robots use an elegant solution of controlling...
Bridging Gap between Breadboards and PCBs
The problem with PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) is they’ve been around for so long. They’ve become “perfected” and taken for granted as is. They’re over engineered for their wide audience and...
Isoscel-Ease the Drawing Robot
I learned a bit from making the Art-O-Matic swirling-drawing robot. The new Isoscel-Ease drawing robot uses triangular geometry rather than scissor geometry (other drawing robots). The two arms holding the pen are the...
Processing, Arduino and Web
I saw this interesting problem a school teacher was having in the Arduino forum. Hello! I am middle school teacher fumbling my way through learning how to use Arduino in...
Art-O-Matic
I’ve not done any drawing robots in a while and I got the bug again. I drew Art-O-Matic up in Sketchup (and gear generator) then made the parts from hardboard using a CNC cutter. Added...
Hack UR Yard
A wave of blue light traverses a network of garden lights in response to an intruder.[/caption] After working on the Firefly project which has infra red communications and LED lights,...
Dream Walk
An interactive snowflake installation responds to movement and gesture with color and light. These suspended snowflakes use sensors and a microcontroller to analyse your motion in real time to...
Debugging and Arduino
I really love Arduino. I’m going on a bit of an electronics binge and one thing I’d like to add to the mix is in circuit debugging. I’m just tossing...
Egg Timer Dreams
Egg timer concept. Not so elegant but it’s a beginning.[/caption] I was thinking it would be fun to make an egg timer or kitchen timer as a fun design challenge....
Parol Lantern Lighting Experiments
Here are some example of Parol Lanterns using LED lighting which are inexpensive and efficient (LED tutorial). Order Parol Kits! Six LED Arduino Parol Lights I used an Arduino and an infra red receiver...
30×30″ Painting Robot
I am back onto my painting robot project! The brush will be dipped much like a human would do it. I will add more brushes eventually though. Perhaps three or four....
Social Network Theory for Firefly
We’ve been working very hard on the Firefly project. See FireFly in action. FireFly is ready to light your way on your social journey. We’ve had a mention of the...
Billboard Project
The Arduino Mega micro-controller arrived last week so I started to work on the slat controller for the billboard project. I wired up three servos and cooked up few lines...
Billboard Thoughts
I’m collaborating with my friend Raven. We’re still at the drawing board but we’ve talked about those billboards that change images using rotating triangles. It’s a cool way to incorporate...
Painting Robot First Brush Strokes
I was able to get little dipper to move some paint around with the brush! Here it is making two whole brush strokes! I decided to make the code on...
CNC Wire Bender
At the beginning of this life-phase of making things I attempted to make a CNC 3D wire bender. It would eventually make pre-bent landing gear for my simple model airplane...
