For Halloween 2012 I created an interactive Magic Mirror. The Magic Mirror has a sonar (PING)))) sensor that detects when kids are are close. Then the mirror says a few random phrases and automatically drops candy to the bucket. I repurposed my Automatic Candy Dispenser from two years ago. The PING))) sensor, fog and red lights […]

Overview The Arduino Fio is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P (datasheet) runs at 3.3V and 8 MHz. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 8 analog inputs, an on-board resonator, a reset button, and holes for mounting pin headers. It has connections for a Lithium […]

I call this project “The Motivational Moody Workout T-Shirt” . Basically what I wanted to do was a t-shirt that makes you want to get out in the open and work out. To make that work, I sewed a LilyPad arduino onto a t-shirt and powered it with a solar panel. Then I connected a […]

First of all I want to apologize for my English, if you don’t understand something, please, ask. I know that a self-balancing robot is not new, but when I started this project I found a lot of information, but never in the same site, I had to search a lot to join all information in […]

My sensors have not been functioning too well with my computer, as every time I try to connect the hello.light or hello.mic boards and run python through my terminal, I either get the error “resource busy”, or my computer completely freezes! Therefore, I decided to try and program some sensors via an Arduino board and […]

This is a trial and error / design and development process which I followed in developing a camera slider for creating time-lapse video clips on my DSLR camera. The idea came from using standard Aluminium extrusions I have available at hardware stores, and create a slider chassis / dolly which is able to slide along […]

Often government data sets available to us online are taken from major nearby metropolitan areas or infrastructural centers. With an easy to follow introduction to new softwares and technologies the “urban sensor kit” allows anyone to obtain location specific information and share that information with a growing community of designers, researchers, and many others. This […]

Everybody wants to know how many pageviews your own website has. But see what’s happening you need some analytics code and stuff like this. I wanted to be connected to the wold when I’m sitting on my couch so I connected my Lucky Cat to the internet. Whenever someone visits a page on my website […]
