Research Group: Ryan Mountcastle, Minh Trang Nguyen, Nathan Ranno, and Ryan Ward Launch: Whitworth Fall 2012 This experiment was designed to examine cosmic ray activity in the Earth’s atmosphere as altitude increases. The previous group’s project utilized three Geiger counters stacked vertically to eliminate false positives. This only accounts for rays travelling in the vertical
Finally! It’s been about 3 months since my last Arduino tutorial – I’ve been keeping busy as usual. I’ve been working on this one for some time. I got the parts months ago, made an outline a few weeks ago, prototyped the circuits and wrote the code last week, and did the filming over the

The one wire Digital Temperature Sensor – DS18B20 from Maxim (formerly Dallas) is a great chip for measuring temperature in your projects. Luckily, there is a Dallas Temperature library for the arduino which makes using this sensor very easy. The most recent version of this library can be found at http://www.milesburton.com/?title=Dallas_Temperature_Control_Library We used version 3.6.0

Multipurpose like a traffic light, this one keeps you warm and blinks to make you more visible in the night. Stop traffic with this fun scarf worn around your neck. Repurpose a dollar-store bicycle safety flasher to embed in the scarf. Simulates the light changing pattern and does other fancy sequences. No arduino needed. The

Background In this blogpost we’re going to deal with the Compass Module 3-Axis HMC5883L from Parallax and how to integrate it into an Arduino. The Compass Module 3-Axis HMC5883L is designed for low-field magnetic sensing with a digital interface. This compact sensor fits into small projects such as UAVs and robot navigation systems. The sensor

I am not a big fan of programming. I may like it but, I try to keep it down to a 555 timer like in this ible. However, when it comes to synths, well, I just NEED programming. One day, while exploring Synthesizers, I came across something known as chiptunes. I decided to listen and

Introduzione LilyPad Arduino is one of the many Arduino microcontrollers, but unlike the more well-known Arduino UNO, MEGA and Yun, this little board has very specific characteristics that make it unique. In fact, the LilyPad can be sewn on fabric. In fact, with only 19 € you can add technology to our garments, but also

improvise + harmonize + customize The airmonica is a easy-to-learn tweakable musical instrument that you can use to perform harmonic musical ditties by accompanying a tri-tone arpeggiator. There are endless opportunities to expand the airmonica in any way that will make it your your own custom instrument. The airmonica consists of three parts: 1. a
