If you need a Function Generator, this DIY Function Generator project is a simple way to get one built. If you would rather build a kit version take a look here. It uses a LM324N quad OpAmp at the heart of the project. “The box I put the generator in is an old radio transcever box that already had the BNC Bulkhead attached, this was good for me as I
Remember the Nixie Clock with LED Accents that we featured last year? Well our friend Muris has made a new version with lots of updates. “Important hardware changes between this new version and the previous one are: – Timekeeping is more accurate and is done by DS3231 (or DS3232) RTC IC – There is no DS18S20 temperature sensor – the internal one of RTC IC is used instead – Backup
If you like LED projects as much as I do you will love the Aurora RGB LED Ring Project from The LED Artist. For so many LEDs the color changing is very smooth, the board layout is very nice with just a small center area left for the few surface mount components needed to run the show. Aki has been kind enough to share the schematic for the project but
This Pool Playing Robot is one heck of a project! Not quite a robot that you could walk into a random pool hall with since the cameras are mounted above the pool table but I still think you would be able to win a few wagers with it. “Thomas Nierhoff, a masters student at Technische Universität München (TUM), used a human-sized mobile robot with dual 7-DOF arms that’s able to
I had never heard of the term Bokeh before but I have seen the effect. I had no idea that the Bokeh Photography Effect was so easy to achieve. Thanks for the great video Matt.
The guys over at Super Touch have made a Dodgeball game that uses the Kinect, an iPhone and an iPad to play. The game uses a bunch of technology starting with the way the game modes are selected. There is no start button on the controller, the team has opted for a cube with modes printed on it to select game modes. The cube has an accelerometer, an Arduino and
If you are wanting to jazz up your simple coffee table why not make an LED Table? We have seen other LED tables before but this one is made up from very simple parts and might be a great intro project to electronics. Nice thing about this design is since there are no controllers used there are no parts that need to be programmed, this means that once you solder
