First of all lets get this out of the way… It’s so bad This is going to be showing how to hack the Nintendo Powerglove. By hack I mean tap into the flex sensors and use the buttons and d pad and add anything you want. In my case I added an accelerometer. I got mine from […]
Electrical Components The electrical components are the five motors and their associated circuits, the buttons, and the thermocouple. The Circuit We are controlling two stepper motors, three servos, a thermocouple, and a set of buttons using an Arduino. Our final circuit diagram looks like this: Building the Circuit 1. Stepper motors: The first step we […]
The game Mastermind has been around a long time, and I remember getting a board version with colored pegs when I was a kid. I love this game, as it is solvable simply by pure logic. One player (or a computer/microcontroller) chooses a sequence of colors from a pool of available colors and then the […]
This lab most recently revamped by Edgar Berdahl and Wendy Ju. Chris Carlson, possibly Bill Verplank, and others have likely contributed. For this lab you need your Satellite CCRMA kit, a laptop computer with Ethernet adaptor to program it, and some headphones with a mini 1/8″ (2.54mm) stereo jack. You are also invited to bring […]
I have been making my own Arduino’s on strip-board but recently bought some of the Evil Mad Scientist ATmegaxx8 Target Boards. While they weren’t designed as an Arduino board they are perfect to use as they have: – places for the crystal and capacitors (XTL and C1, C2) or resonator – place for the power […]
Design: The rotational motion produced by the motor is transformed into linear motion through the use of a standard 1/2″-13 threaded rod as a lead screw. To account for angular misalignments in the rod the motor is not attached to it directly, but rather through a belt and pulley system. The ball bearing screen door […]
In this project I take an Arduino Mini Pro connect it to a custom made Etch A Sketch panel and use it to control a Blacknose laser cutter. The result is hours of crazy laser cutting fun, which we will be taking round most of the UK Maker Faires this year for JustAddSharks.co.uk The Etch […]
Age Group: 13 – 18 My experimental rover that I built from a Roll-A-Way alarm clock that was on clearance for $5. It can be controlled via the numeric section of a keyboard when the serial port is connected to a computer or a Wii Nunchuck attached directly to it, using either the joystick portion, […]
¿What questions need to be resolved? ¿How to recognize the origin of the table? — The table is the piece of the machine where you place your board, and is critical for the pick and place operation. I’ve thinking in a limit switch system. Will be the use of the “tglue layer” of the Eagle […]
DESIGN OF A SMALL SCALE SMART HOME SYSTEM Gabriel Johnson and Chance Kelsoe INTRODUCTION Design of a smart home system with a LabView/Arduino interface In this project we made use of an Arduino Duemilanove and LabView to design an easy to use graphical interface to represent a control environment that every home owner could use. HIGH […]
