The transmitter in the remote control handset sends out a stream of pulses of infrared light when the user presses a button on the handset. A transmitter is often a light emitting diode (LED) which is built into the pointing end of the remote control handset. The infrared light pulses form a pattern unique to […]
This is a project for Arduino and Raspberry Pi to make an Internet Radio, aimed at intermediate skill level. Some familiarity with Linux usage will be beneficial (or access to someone who can help out if required). Raspberry Pi runs mpd music player daemon to receive and decode the internet radio stream. ALSA running on […]
Story Fascinated by this humorous anthropomorphic idea on instructable that left me philosophizing deeply about the essence of art, I decided to make this a project after witnessing many ruthless battles between human and robot on YouTube. How does it work? The Arduino “listens” to the state of the switch and actuates the servo when […]
If life has been too serious for you lately, this weekend project will take some of the stress out of your life and create a really neat toy in the process; a delight for a child or for those children who gather around your desk at work! Remember those Magic 8 Balls from the ’50’s […]
Description Urban Encounters is our imagination of the future of interactive surfaces within our 5x5x5 site. The crosswalk “island” we chose at the corner of Shattuck and Center in downtown Berkeley promotes an interesting combination of isolation, stuck-ness and loneliness. To bring out these themes into the physical world, we decided to modify existing objects to support traditionally web-only interactions. […]
Brainstorming Process After selecting Kroeber Fountain as our location of interest, we began to notice that it was a place at which people would congregate without interacting with one another. The fountain’s shape – most notably, its tiered steps – affords it the ability to serve as a seat where multiple people can sit in […]
What are the paper instruments made of? Using Conductive Paint, we were able to create a paper piano & guitar that plays notes and changes graphics on a screen. Paper Piano Arduino Code Step by step – Paper Instrument Development Software needed Processing: https://processing.org/ Capacitive Arduino Library:http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/CapacitiveSensor?from=Main.CapSense 1. Draw paper piano Use conductive ink to draw […]
About this project Reasoning about time by printing onto the surface of a river Maybe you know situations when time’s running up. In German there is a metaphor for that and translated it would be something like “time trickles away“. Having this saying in mind and thinking of how to ‘imagine’ time the following idea […]
The principal behind ArduinoPi First a little clarification, the ArduinoPi isn’t really a library or a command set or an out of the box controller, its more a proof of concept using already know programming languages. If you want to use it be ready for some PHP, CSS, HTML, C++ and jQuery! The principal is […]
Preface There’s nothing nefarious here, nor is the information contained herein particularly helpful to thieves or the dishonest. A thief would just cut the dang thing open and be done with it. The story So I bought a fire safe to protect some documents that I wanted protected in the unlikely event of a house […]
