Digital Tic-Tac-Toe Using ATtiny85

Posted October 30, 2015 by Chris

"This project is an attempt to recreate the classic game in a digital format. To spice things up a bit, instead of using the regular 2 player setup it uses an inbuilt AI mechanism to compete against the player."

The Witch From The Well

Posted October 27, 2015 by Chris

"Every haunted well needs a trained demon-summoning witch. Our haunted well has just the thing. A witch standing nearby, outfitted with the latest electronics. She’s sporting a uMP3 MP3 playing card, plus a Scary-Terry audio servo driver tied to her skull-head. And of course she’s also customized with a pair of (diffused) green LED eyes that will also flash as she speaks."

Robotic Pet Project

Posted October 26, 2015 by Chris

"The Robotic Pet is an automated robot that can mimic common pets behaviours, like entertaining with a ball autonomously and interacting with human gesture freely. As the final project of EE 125 Introduction to Robotics class, the robotic pet is built on the UC Berkeley TETRIX robot platform."

38mm x 38mm Laser Engraver Build Using CD-RW on ATmega328p

Posted October 24, 2015 by Chris

"To build this tool I’ve used two old CD-ROM writer that lays around in my garage.
The X/Y positioning system it is build using the CD-ROM motor assembly. For the engraving laser i use the CD-ROM writer laser. With this hardware the engraving area are will be almost 38mm x 38mm."

Build A 3D Printable Toy Platform

Posted October 21, 2015 by Chris

"The modular robot or toy platform is essentially built off of a chassis that enables the user to add any number of 3D printed toy housings to it ranging from the aforementioned bulldozer, tank, digger toy or anything else that a user wants to program it as using the code that was generously provided by hobbyman."

Tutorial: Thermal Printer Hardware Setup

Posted October 18, 2015 by Chris

" It would be great if I could print out the time and ranking directly, so if there is no PC, the system can be small and tiny. So here is my next project and tutorial: Printing with the Freedom board!"

Raspberry PI Digital to Analogue Conversion (DAC)

Posted October 13, 2015 by Chris

"In this tutorial I will be detailing how to generate analogue voltages using a Raspberry Pi and an external Digital to Analogue Converter (DAC) to control the brightness of an LED. Although the Raspberry Pi can interface with various low-level hardware using it’s GPIO lines, SPI, I2C and serial UART interface, it does not have an DAC interface for generating analogue voltage levels. Instead the user must use an external DAC device controlled by one of the available low-level hardware interfaces, such as SPI and I2C."

Digital Stethoscope With Display

Posted October 11, 2015 by Chris

"At the highest level, the design of our project centers around an acquisition circuit, data processing in two MCUs, and the output on a TV screen. The first part of the stethoscope is the acquisition unit, which consists of an actual stethoscope mated with a microphone, and an amplifier circuit. The microphone captures the audible signal from the body that is acoustically amplified by the stethoscope."

DIY Temperature And Humidity Wireless Data Logger

Posted October 10, 2015 by Chris

"I will not go into details on how to control humidity. Instead I’ll describe what motivated me to design and create my own temperature and humidity sensor which reports its readings every minute to a central Linux server."

Arduino Radar Tutorial: Fading an LED With My Breath

Posted October 7, 2015 by Chris

"I built this Arduino radar project, where I control the brightness of an LED with my breath. In this tutorial, I will show you exactly how to do it. It was an experiment to get the XeThru radar to work with Arduino. I plan to expand on this later, and build more useful applications. And I will share with you how to connect the hardware, and how to create the Arduino code."
