Working my way up the arm and building the shoulder mechanisms….and more…"

RGB LED Ceiling Display

Posted April 1, 2016 by Chris

"When I was measuring out the dimensions of my current home in September 2012, I realized that the main room was 20′ by 32′ and that this would make a nice Tetris playing field if the ceiling were made out of 2′ by 2′ light up tiles. I figured I could use opaque suspended ceiling tiles with a single RGB LED pointing down on to each one. With that thought planted in my head, all I needed was the time to design the electronics and build it."

Raspberry Pi Zero Internet Connected Information Display

Posted March 29, 2016 by Chris

"After last week’s Pi Zero mod, I thought I’d try a slightly more useful project. Using an Adafruit OLED display, two push buttons, a wifi dongle and a Pi Zero, I made an internet connected information display. The information could be anything: time and date, weather, social media status, etc … The two push buttons are used to cycle through the data and trigger certain actions."

How To Make A PCB At Home

Posted March 11, 2016 by Chris

"We all are very familiar with Printed Circuit Boards or PCBs as they are easily found in television sets, computers and in every electronic device. PCB is widely accepted and most commonly used in Electronics industry. PCB is very cost effective, it assembles the complex circuits in small space and eliminates the risk of loose connections, it has pre designed copper tracks to connect the components in effective and clean way."
