Pixel_k needed a simple remote shutter for his digital reflex camera, which had to be usable even in low-light situations, so he decided to build his own controller by exploiting an Arduino Pro Mini and a small LCD. The result is “MiniCom”: The interface is limited to a single rotary knob you can push to […]
While browsing Hacker News, I came across this interesting account of Andrei Pop [blog, twitter] which tells about how he won a recent Facebook hackathon using an arduino hack. It is a recent trend that hardware too has entered the hackathon scenario. Here are interesting excerpts from his honest account! A few months ago 3 […]
Touché is a capacitive-sensing technology, developed by Walt Disney Research, which aims at providing touch and gesture sensitivity to a great variety of objects. From this research paper: The technology is scalable, i.e., the same sensor is equally effective for a pencil, a doorknob, a mobile phone or a table. Gesture recognition also scales with objects: a […]
Comunikino is a box, connected to a PC which runs a script in Python. When receiving a mail, the subject will be printed to its LCD. You can then use one of three Comunikino’s buttons to send a mail back to say “Yes”, “No” or “Readed” (this button can also to be used to say: […]
Nice tutorial about how to make pencil drawings reactive to touch using just pencil, some resistors, paperclips, wire, Arduino and tape.
“On Journalism #2 Typewriter” is a typewriter installation of Julian Koschwitz, which purpouse is to remember journalists who got killed in the past 20 years. The installation writes generative stories about all journalist who have been killed worldwide between 1992 and today based on the existing data on their life as well as their published work. The individual […]
Make your own DIY motion alarm using an Arduino, a motion sensor, a few wires and headers. The code can be obtained here. Oh also, its been featured on Hacker News, so you can read the thread for pleasure! Via:[Lifehacker]
This IR based Arduino programmer works from Arduino IDE using ATK500V2 protocol. Construction details: For infrared link it uses standard 38kHz modulation – as as in TV remotes. One part of the circuit utilizes FT232RQ module that talks to Arduino IDE. It has a also a circuitry that enables sending and receiving IR signals using […]
In this instructable, Dustin Andrews shows how to make a custom Arduino board, equipped with a lcd, a buzzer and a solid enclosure. Dustin’s goal has been to design a rugged Arduino version, that can be employed “as is” in many practical project, in place of a less solid breadboard-based solution. The project is released […]
Libelium, with its open source hardware division of Cooking Hacks has come out with a new 3G module for arduino. The new 3G shield for Arduino enables connectivity to high speed WCDMA and HSPA cellular networks allowing transfers up to 7.2Mbps (20 times faster than with GPRS technology). The module also counts with an internal […]
