In our latest PyroElectro tutorial, we show you how to make a basic optical encoder for any mechanical system. Our example setup uses a simple printer pully and motor system. The write-up includes all source code, schematics and parts lists you'd need to build it.

This drop-dead simple project uses a SR87 GPS module and an AVR to understand the data. Then that is output onto a simple 16x2 character LCD. The hardware schematic and software is all there!

The Weeboy is quite the spin-off of the Wiimote. It uses an accelerometer to detect tilt and has a built in game around this sensor. This means, no joystick or gamepad, only a box that you tilt in every which way to play the game. Software & hardware schematics are available for download.
