For my physical computing class, I created a project utilizing the SparkFun Redboard. I’ve named it the Gameduino Snake, as it’s essentially a compact handheld gadget that enables users to enjoy a game of snake on an LED matrix. The game incorporates a basic 8×8 LED matrix, capable of displaying both the game itself and […]

The objective of the DSP Shield project is to enhance the accessibility of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) concepts and applications, particularly by introducing DSP as a teaching tool for signal education at the undergraduate level or even earlier. The project aims to bridge the gap between DSP being predominantly practiced at the graduate level and
The Arduino is perhaps the coolest thing on earth. There are many types, the Uno, the Mega, the Pro, the Pro Mini, etc. etc. But one thing that often can be a problem is that you only have a limited number of inputs and outputs. There are many solutions for that, ranging from multiplexers to
Extra inputs for Arduino with a keyboard Continue Reading
Paraphrased: “Arduino creates open source hardware and software, specifically focusing on microcontrollers, for educational and prototyping endeavors. Those familiar with me are aware of my passion for exploring Arduinos and Raspberry Pi. While I don’t aspire to be an electrical engineer, I’m primarily drawn to the coding and artistic aspects. However, the tangible experience of

Like many other electronic enthusiasts I need to have a constant supply of materials in order for us to keep building, hacking, or just playing around with electronics. However as probably any of us have come to realize we need a lot of space and storage to hold every thing. Enter the world of stack-able

For our project, we built a planar, 2 degree-of-freedom haptic device for educational use. The design is based on a 5-bar mechanism. We wanted to build a device that would have the versatility to teach various concepts, but would still be relatively affordable (as the goal is implementation in classrooms). For this reason, we designed

The Musical Bench is an exhibit which makes music when people touch, kiss, or hold hands. It uses a micro-controller to detect changes in resistance, via the copper armrests, and plays high or low notes depending on how much current flows through you and a friend. This exhibit is the result of messing around with

Mobile Phone There is a wide selection of mobile phones on the market. For our development, we chose Nokia 6210 Navigator due to its ability to run Java, accompanied by Bluetooth communication, and its small form factor. The phone mainly acts as a remote control for setting up the microcontroller. It provides the ability to
Portable Haptics System Hardware Continue Reading
Background This robot is one I built to learn. Before this project I did get my feet wet with a few small scale Arduino projects like an ultrasonic robot, (that would move backwards until it was a certain distance away from the wall,) and I did get to play with a few of the shields

This week I continued developing a device that warns of the potential of a knockdown – the process by which an over-canvassed sailing ship is lain over on her beam-ends during a squall. The potential for sinking at this point is high, especially if there are hatches open on the leeward side, so it is
Knockdown Warning Indicator (Redux) Continue Reading
