The limited funding and job opportunities in the humanities field make it challenging for emerging scholars to pursue additional knowledge. As scholars must acquire extensive knowledge within their respective disciplines, they must also create coherent projects within an academic context. This situation creates difficulties for educators to learn and develop technology-related curriculum. However, there is […]
The workshop demonstrates how to control motors using Arduino and Processing In today’s workshop, participants will learn how to control two types of motors, namely DC motors and servo motors, using the Arduino board. The workshop will make use of firmata and a Processing to Arduino link, and a straightforward user interface will be created […]
Introduction and Overview Biomedical engineering, a highly interdisciplinary field within STEM, offers opportunities for engineering and computer science students to engage in its endeavors. It involves the application of biology and engineering principles to create novel devices aimed at enhancing healthcare and medical options. Prominent examples of biomedical devices encompass artificial organs, prosthetics, wearables, and […]
For my physical computing class, I created a project utilizing the SparkFun Redboard. I’ve named it the Gameduino Snake, as it’s essentially a compact handheld gadget that enables users to enjoy a game of snake on an LED matrix. The game incorporates a basic 8×8 LED matrix, capable of displaying both the game itself and […]
The objective of the DSP Shield project is to enhance the accessibility of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) concepts and applications, particularly by introducing DSP as a teaching tool for signal education at the undergraduate level or even earlier. The project aims to bridge the gap between DSP being predominantly practiced at the graduate level and […]
The Arduino is perhaps the coolest thing on earth. There are many types, the Uno, the Mega, the Pro, the Pro Mini, etc. etc. But one thing that often can be a problem is that you only have a limited number of inputs and outputs. There are many solutions for that, ranging from multiplexers to […]
Paraphrased: “Arduino creates open source hardware and software, specifically focusing on microcontrollers, for educational and prototyping endeavors. Those familiar with me are aware of my passion for exploring Arduinos and Raspberry Pi. While I don’t aspire to be an electrical engineer, I’m primarily drawn to the coding and artistic aspects. However, the tangible experience of […]
Welcome to my instructable on how to make an Arduino-controlled motion sensing camera and alarm! The motivation behind this project, which I worked on in my electronics class at Pomona College, was the need to keep away varmints (particularly raccoons) that were digging up my parents’ yard. Although a simple motion sensing alarm would probably […]
Like many other electronic enthusiasts I need to have a constant supply of materials in order for us to keep building, hacking, or just playing around with electronics. However as probably any of us have come to realize we need a lot of space and storage to hold every thing. Enter the world of stack-able […]
For our project, we built a planar, 2 degree-of-freedom haptic device for educational use. The design is based on a 5-bar mechanism. We wanted to build a device that would have the versatility to teach various concepts, but would still be relatively affordable (as the goal is implementation in classrooms). For this reason, we designed […]
