One of the goals of Movable Party is to provide an interactive experience for audiences/participants. Since power will be generated from a hub motor attached to the rear wheel of each bike (see this post), the speed of the rear wheel directly translates to the amount of power generated. Detecting how fast the rear wheel […]
Simple digital cameras can produce remarkably good quality photos and are now cheap enough that it doesn’t hurt the wallet too much to buy one with the intention of modifying it for use in a project. You may even already have an old digital camera that you don’t mind sacrificing for a good cause! Modifying […]
In order to “visually” highlight the behavior of Arduino programs you must connect a device to the I/O pins, which gives you tangible signals. Normally, if you want to check if a program changes a level of an output pin, answering a command or executing a check routine, or event, you must check it by […]
This summer, my hackerspace LVL1 (in Louisville, Ky) got an awesome laser cutter http://fslaser.com/40w-deluxe-hobby-laser-engraver-and-cutter. LVL1 is an awesome community of creative folks that like to build stuff. You can always check out what we are up to at http://www.lvl1.org. If you like instructables and making stuff, you should see if there is a hackerspace in […]
There are many electronic devices that use the SPI bus, or Serial Peripheral Interface bus, for communications (e.g. various sensors, LCD displays, digital potentiometers, D/A and A/D converters, wireless transmitters and receivers, audio volume controls). The devices receive data serially from a microcontroller using a 3-wire set-up that includes a chip select signal (usually titled […]
This instructable primarily shows how to control the charging voltage from a solar panel to an energy storage device (capacitors in this case). I showed how to construct the light previously http://www.instructables.com/id/Human-Powered-Light-from-my-book-Doable-Renewab/ Step 1: This solar panel can produce up to 18 volts, but my capacitor bank should never receive more than 15 volts. I […]
I developed the camera trigger unit in order to synchronize various events and actions during free-flight experiments with hawkmoths in the wind tunnel described in a previous post. More specifically, the goal was to trigger multiple high-speed cameras and have LEDs that indicate the exact timing of electrical stimuli delivered via a miniature stimulus chip […]
This is an arduino controlled project and uses leds, jumper wires, and a breadboard. This is one of my first attempts on programming arduino and I am pleased with the outcome. I’m ten years old and I just started programming 2 weeks ago. Step 1: Parts Check Step 2: Placing the LEDs on the breadboard […]
In this tool-assisted education video I show how to program an Arduino Atmega2560 board in C++11 to dump a ROM chip, such as a 386sx BIOS or a Famicom cartridge ROM. I also make a ZMODEM sender and a LED blinker in this video. Sorry about the bad dub / lipsync in the beginning. I […]
Last month, Elecrow have left from the original office and moved to a new office. We will miss our original office where we worked so hard for more than two years, we will miss everything here, the desks, the windows, and those potted plants, that we cared for more than two years with our neighbor. […]
