Arduino based data logger

HexiLogger, an Arduino based data logger

The purpose of this project was to create a simple, portable device that would periodically read sensors and then store the sensor data so it could be retrieved later. The result is the HexiLogger, “hexi” because it can support up to six different sensor inputs and “logger” because it will store the input data on […]

Arduino Room Monitor circuit

Open Source Server Room Monitor using Arduino

This server room environmental monitoring system is a low cost high performance device with the same onboard features as commercial devices costing hundreds of dollars more. In addition to a low cost platform we will provide low cost sensors for many important devices to insure your equipment stays safe and sound. Full instructions are available […]

Arduino iTime clock

iTime clock in a Mac Mini box using Arduino

After the untimely death of my Mac Mini (the last thing Apple I never buy), I recycled her limping in a clock display LEDs. Technically, there is not rocket science: an Arduino reads the time from an external clock and displays a matrix of 8×6 colored LEDs for hours, minutes, seconds and a linear array […]

The UCube

The UCube: Design & Print 3D Objects by flipping switches

This instructable goes through how to design and print a variety of 3D models using a system called the ‘UCube’. Note:  I would love to eventually publish detailed instructions on how to make your own UCube, but since the design is still changing and improving, this post will gloss over a lot of those details […]

Arduino Hearing Impaired Alarm Clock

Open Source Hearing Impaired Alarm Clock using Arduino

Activities of daily living (ADL) are self-care activities that are usually taken for granted, since as the name implies they are performed on a daily basis. If you have ever ended up in a cast, or on crutches you can empathize how menial daily activities can suddenly be very difficult to perform. Waking up in the morning and maintaining a schedule […]

DIY Mod an Omnibot 80s Robot

DIY Mod an Omnibot 80’s Robot with Voice, Camera, Servos, Bluetooth

*Check back for more updates on this build 🙂 So, have you heard of the Omnibot? Well! Any kid from the 80’s will remember how amazing this robot was. For you young kids, this robot was released in the early 80’s by Tomy. The robot was “programmable”, in the sense that the actions were recorded […]

Arduino Sensing Squeeze

Sensing Squeeze using Arduino

I’m researching squeeze sensing as a mode of tactile interface. Here I will cover the process of developing a squeezeable sensor and the firmware/software concerns associated with interpreting the data from the sensor. This fulfills the “sensor project” for my class called Computational Principles in Media Arts taught in AME at ASU by Todd Ingalls […]

Spring Aided Machining

S.A.M. Spring Aided Machining (CNC with adhesive remover)

S.A.M. Spring Aided Machining (CNC with solvent) is a school project designed by three architecture students at CCA, San Francisco: Matt Boeddiker, Abelino Robles, and Tim Henshaw-Plath. (www.cca.edu) The machine is capable of rapidly prototyping and creating subtractive formwork that can be used to cast material. The machine was designed with the instruction of Jason […]

A Beginners guide to making an Arduino Shield PCB

A Beginner’s guide to making an Arduino Shield PCB

(This tutorial has gotten really popular recently, and I’m very pleased that so many people are interested. I learned all of this stuff while working on my first PCB. If you’re interested, I’ve started to sell the most recent version of my Arduino ProtoShield. If you’re making a shield, have fun and good luck!. If […]
