My goal for this project is to make a watch with selectable dials, stopwatch and millidays. This idea started with an Aprils fools prank about metric-time. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K35xG1buyFA) First I wanted to make a metric clock but soon this idea evolved from a metric watch into an open course watch. I knew that it would be …
SEGGER just released Ozone V3.10, a major update to its full-featured graphical debugger and performance analyzer. The new release includes support for custom instructions, allowing disassembly of application-specific instructions added to the CPU core to tailor it for the particular application. Custom instructions are defined in plug-in scripts, which can be easily edited by the user of Ozone or …

Before i start this AMAZING tutorial on how to build a physical windows volume mixer, i want to apologize for my bad written English. Now, let’s get started. For this project I would like to build a sound mixer, but with a tft screen so i can see what I’m doing. I know there is a lot …
This is my first time using Arduino, or any microcontroller. I’m glad it worked out so well but my wife may not be, due to the stacks of microcontrollers that will being showing up on our doorstep soon for future projects. Any feedback or questions are welcome, as are votes in the Arduino Contest. Why (Problem) …
Michigan State University researchers have came up with a new method for harvesting energy from human motion using nanotechnology. They designed a low-cost film-like device, a nanogenerator, than can power a LCD display, keyboard, and some LEDs without any source of electric power, by only using some human touching or pressing. This device called FENG, …
ePaper displays (EPDs) are becoming a trend in application, just like the display used in Amazon Kindle, for their low power consumption due to the to the underlying ‘bistable’ display technology. These displays can continue to show information without any power at all. It is only required while updating the display with new information, otherwise …
In this tutorial, I’ll explain how to set up an LCD on an Arduino and show you all the different ways you can program it. I’ll show you how to print text, scroll text, make custom characters, blink text, and position text. They’re great for any project that outputs data, and they can make your project a lot more …

This two person project was completed through the course of Embedded Systems at the University of Thessaly, Department of Computer Engineering. In the context of this game we implemented the classic space invaders game using a zedboard fpga. The code is in Verilog and you can find it on github . The project consists of 3 parts. First the connection …
This tutorial is going to teach you the basics on using Flux Sensor of 2.2 inches. Step 1: Introduction Description: It is a flex sensor which is 2.2 inches in length. This sensor works by bending the sensor itself. As the sensor is being flexed or bent, the resistance across the sensor increases. The greater …
What is this ? This project is a “real size” speedometer for miniature trains, cars and anything you wish to measure. It can calculate the speed of the object between 2 measuring points along the track (or road) by counting milliseconds between passages at the start and end gates. If you enter the distance between …
