Readings in Physical Computing Ch 6. pgs 87-136 (this week and next week) Ch 7: Serial Communication [137-143; 149-150; 153-161] Before the lab You should have already successfully installed the Arduino environment on your laptop, built the LED circuit, and successfully load/run the “blink” program to make the LED blink. Congratulations! In lab exercise Objective In […]
Here at Mikamai, we often organise events and hackathons. After the last hackathon, someone left an old doll, and it was kinda creepy… so why not make it even creepier? I decided to put two red LEDs instead of the eyes, and a vibration sensor to turn on the LEDs when you shake the doll. […]
Introduction When our team was initially assigned the task of transforming this project from a cinematography quadcopter to a more practical sensor quadcopter, we made the decision to redesign the frame. This decision was not taken lightly, but it was concluded that one of the reasons the drone had been unable to fly thus far […]
This tutorial will show you how to build an interactive toy for children. This toy wants to give a boost to children to move and play with friends at home or in a park, instead of watching TV and playing videogames.

Overview: The solar tracking device is designed to ensure that a flat panel with a solar cell is constantly aligned with the movement of the sun across the sky. It utilizes two light dependent resistors (LDRs) positioned on opposite sides of a fin to measure the light levels. By comparing the readings from the LDRs, […]
You give your pets everything: Food, water, a home, toys, and love. Why not give them a twitter account? This project allows you to monitor your pets’ eating habits and receive alerts when their supplies are low. It’s also a cute, fun way to learn how to interact with the Arduino, Twitter, sensors, and Ethernet. […]
