Digispark RGB LED Fader

Digispark RGB LED Fader

Forward: This instructable was originally posted at http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-LED-Fader-using-Digispark/ My students and I developed it into this exemplar, for which they received a very good mark. Viewing the following video may leave you with a sense of too much too fast. Please continue to read this Instructable which documents my students’ Tanner and Amanda’s culminating math

DIY G force measurement system

DIY- G-force measurement system

So this time around, it’s another fun and functional microcontroller based DIY, a g-force measurement system with data logging to SD card. HARDWARE USED: 1) Arduino UNO w/ATmega328P 2) 3-axis accelerometer breakout 3) SD card 4) SD card breakout w/level shifting circuit 5) LED HOW IT WORKS: Basically, the system uses an accelerometer to measure

Arduino Laser cut gear clock

Laser cut gear clock with ChronoDot using Arduino

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
