“Craft is a demo running on its own minimalistic demo platform. The demo platform is based on an ATmega88 microcontroller. Having successfully built a soundchip out of a microcontroller together with my friends in kryo, I wanted to tackle the greater challenge of generating a realtime video signal along with the sound.”

“Last year, before the holidays, my friend and I had an idea to make a device, which will notify police via GSM if someone breaks into the house….This description has the resulting device which is tested and works well, and it is also relatively inexpensive, as compared with similar products on the market.”

“The purpose of this project was to design and implement a debugger for the ATmega644 that communicated through its JTAG interface and was capable of controlling program execution by setting breakpoints and accessing registers and memory.”

“If you ever wanted to integrate touch sensitivity into your project, this board could just do the trick. It’s a capacitive touch sensor. These sensors are used in our everyday consumer electronics like notebook trackpads, video game consoles, touchscreens…just to name a few.”

“This is a simple sequencer machine which uses Capacitative Sensing Code for input to the Arduino. It is is a combination drumpad and sequencer. It has just two modes, record, and playback, and needs very few components; an Arduino (of course), and just 3 resistors and a piezo speaker. If you’re feeling decadent, you can add an LED (with a resistor) for more “ooomph”.”

“Our final project in ECE 476 is a mobile robot with a developed neural network such that it evolves to avoid collisions into a circular vertical white wall while traveling at the fastest speed and straightest line possible without human intervention or external computers.”

“In February of 2007 I spent a little while prototyping a board that turns any bicycle wheel into a moving display billboard using a single string of LEDs. The idea was to do something that would be very visible, turn itself on and off automatically, have enough processing power to dynamically generate bike computer style displays, and have enough memory to store full resolution bitmaps.”

“ In this article we will go through the process of building this Arduino Waveform Generator Shield whilst simultaneously reviewing the bugs and features found during the construction and usage. This article will focus mainly on the hardware side of things since the firmware was pre-written for the Arduino.”

“Most people would just go out and buy a temp / humidity sensor and be done with it….Instead, I decided to build an accurate temp / humidity sensor with a Sensiron SHT11 to read the values, a RBBB Arduino kit to process everything and an Adafruit 128×32 OLED to display the results – all wrapped up in LEGO!”

“The accelerometer om the watch controls the vehicle. Tilt the watch forward and the robot moves forward. Tilt the watch to the side, and the robot turns. The left top and bottom buttons control the grabber.”
