Over the years as technology advanced and grew at a tremendous pace, so did the horizon of ideas and creation in our mind. If we look a few years back, a teenager like me would dare think about creating a robot that would operate listening to their voice and follow the given commands. All they […]
Welcome to my Mario 64 Cake Carnival Timing Game! The cake is modeled after the end screen in Mario 64. The active light moves around the cake in a circle. The goal of the game is to stop the light on the star by pressing the button on the cake cutter. The game gets more
After this Instructable you should be able to program an A Ttiny85/45 with an arduino. It may sound complex but it really isn’t. After doing some research I could not find to much info on how this could be done. I however did find http://www.instructables.com/id/Program-an-ATtiny-with-Arduino/. This Instructable is my interpretation of what I learned from Randy. Step
VO2Max is an interesting concept that proposes that there is a natural limited ability to extract Oxygen nutrient out of the air and consume it. It is like the IQ of sports activities–some algorithm that tells you how gifted you are in doing a variety of athletic contests. It was worked on at the beginning

Introduction Ever dream of having a darts game scored automatically without using those annoying plastic darts? We decided it was a dream most of us has had at some point, and so decided to implement an automatic scoring system for a “real” cork dartboard. As college students, we found darts to be a great way

This project originated from a request of a friend. He asked me to build a so-called smile counter for their college dorm – a segmented display which can show a number. This number must increment every time someone pushed a button and should be memorized even if power goes out. The counter was counting smiles:
Using a dual 7-segment display, a DS18B20 temperature sensor and a couple of shift registers I figured that I could build a digital thermometer. Step 1: Temperature Sensor The sensor I’m using is the DS18B20, it’s a 3pin sensor that just requires a single input pin from the arduino. Multiple sensors can be hooked together,
With 2020 being the year of COVID, having a toddler that was stuck at home (especially during the winter) presented the need for, well, stuff to do. So, my wife and I decided to turn our basement into a play place for our little girl. We started by designing and building an indoor slide with
The String comparison operators, ==, !=,>, < ,>=, <= , and the functionsequals() and equalsIgoreCase() allow you to make alphabetic comparisons between Strings. They’re useful for sorting and alphabetizing, among other things. The operator == and the function equals() perform identically. It’s just a matter of which you prefer. So if (stringOne.equals(stringTwo)) { [Get Code]
In this pandemic it is important to take reasonable measures to reduce spreading viruses. A paper from 2019 found that louder voices spread more viruses (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-38808-z) [Asadi et al. 2019]. This simple project aims to remind people to not shout unnecessarily. This can be used in classrooms, meeting rooms or any other setting where people
