My new project, is a simple led-strip which shows CPU load. 9 led’s are used for this, could have used more but my tiny breadboard couldn’t hold more. Anyhow, it uses serial communication to receive how much the totalcpu usage…
Look at it?! I just fell in love with it 😛 Also, 24$ isn’t bad. So if you’re considering the Arduino Nano, why not try this one instead? Features: ATmega328 running at 16MHz with external resonator (0.5% tolerance) On-board FTDI232…
Made a followup to my light tracker, except this one can go up and down. So it follows light in more directions than the other ones. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fw6ausjl9o&w=425&h=344] Made of some cheap plastic-foam, wont last forever but long enough for me…
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEhX27ahreI&w=480&h=385] This is how to make a simple light tracker/follower with the Arduino. The components you need apart from the Arduino is: 2x Photoresistors: “PHOTOCELL2 Miniature Photocell”. 2x 470 Ohms resistors. 1x Servo. And of course some wires, and a…
It’s always good to have servos that works like a geared motor. That also can go in both direction and speed is adjustable, it’s very handy in robotic project or general vehicles. The servo I’m using is a Mystery Micro…
This is a beast compared to the old Diecimila, well I’ll let the specs speak for themself. Diecimila specs in parentheses. Arduino Mega specifications: Microcontroller: ATmega1280 (ATmega168) Operating Voltage: 5V Input Voltage (recommended): 7-12V Input Voltage (limits) : 6-20V Digital…
Well, some months ago I bough a Arduino Diecimila. To put it simple it’s a little programmable electronic board, which has some inputs and outputs. Or to be more specific: The Arduino Diecimila is a microcontroller board based on the…
My latest small app, the easy timer. It’s a simple timer application, with alarm sound when the time runs out. Can be minimized to tray, and pops up when times over. But it got a advanced set of extra features:…
Just bought me a Asus EEE 1000H, and tought it would be interesting to test it against the older 701. Infact the 701 was the first ever EEE! All benchmarks where done while both of eees plugged into the adapter,…
Now, this is small. And so extremely cool 😛 It’s around the same “class” as the 5#6, 5G6 series. Which makes it even more suitable for using indoors. The ufo 4 also got a update, the ufo 5. Which is…
