Upon the needs of the (2014) World Barista Championship Rules and Regulations, an adequate and precise time measuring is needed during the competition. These measurements are usually done by regular stopwatches with all the benefits (ease of use, common availability) and drawbacks (two stopwatches needed for each judge, as well as some mathematics are necessary […]

We have kids.  I love them to bits but they keep hiding the remote control for the satellite and TV when they put the children’s channels on. After this happening on a daily basis for several years, and after my darling wife allowing me to have an Arduino for Christmas I decided that it was […]

The AD5689R nanoDAC+™ is a dual, 16-bit, rail-to-rail, voltage output DACs. The device includes a 2.5 V, 2 ppm/°C internal reference (enabled by default) and a gain select pin giving a full-scale output of 2.5 V (gain = 1) or 5 V (gain = 2). The device operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.5 […]

I originally wanted to purchase a Nebulophone but, my El-Cheapo price range didn’t like the tag. I realized that I could program my own AtMega 328 by using ArduinoISP Then I found out that if the code was Arduino compatible, why not just use the Arduino as a Nebulophone? Well it was kind of a […]

What it is: Sometimes we want to send special messages to the ones we love but they are sleeping. Soci Alarm Clock allows you to record a message from your browser and send to your beloved’s alarm clock. They just have to put it near bed, with the soft mat under the pillow. How it […]
