Just recently I’ve seen an article that requires skills in different domains and it’s harder to approach – not exactly a weekend project. Make Magazine released a thorough article that covers how to make a Nuclear Fusor. Yeah even the name is cool, and I can’t really explain what it does. It’s basically an attempt […]
Read more "Nuclear Fusor: Mad scientist stuff"I experienced a bit with the persistence of vision effect(POV), using a 7 segment LED display. The one I used is a single digit numeric display, Kingbright SC56-11EWA. Essentially I wanted to see the effect going from slow to fast “live”, so I can better understand it. For this I used a potentiometer to slowly […]
Read more "7 segment display and Arduino"I finally found a 16×2 LCD screen at a reasonable price. It was 5.5$ from an electronics store that is not specifically targeted towards robotics. I can’t explain myself why stores that are targeting robotics or are even based around the arduino platform sell such a device for 15$ or worse. I mean you can […]
Read more "Arduino&LCD: Hello World!"In the last post I talked about putting an LED instead of a light bulb on my bicycle rear light. I wasn’t satisfied with the luminosity, I was expecting something somewhat brighter, but I actually think the original incandescent bulb was much brighter. Therefore, I bought a 1W LED, and after some researching, it seems […]
Read more "Changed the flux LED to a 1W LED"So a few days ago my rear light burned up. It’s not that it’s very important, what’s essential is the front light during a night. Since there’s that reflective red plastic on the back, I wouldn’t worry. Anyway, I decided to replace the burned bulb. But I felt bad about placing in its place another […]
Read more "Putting a LED instead of an incandescent bulb on my bike"I decided this weekend to work on a mini-project, since it came to my mind during the last week. I found that my Arduino starter kit actually had an LM35 temperature sensor, it’s just that I noticed that quite late. The LM35 is a sensor that varies its ouput voltage proportionally to the temperature and […]
Read more "Visualizing temperature as color using an RGB led, a LM35 sensor and Arduino"So uhm, are you still using batteries to power your things? Common, they’re over 200 years old, it’s too mainstream! Why not build a nuclear reactor at home instead? Did I catch your eye? Heh, but seriously now, this article about making such a “reactor” at home caught my eye and amazed me by its […]
