Attiny45 current logger

My raspberry pi setup was meant to somewhat satisfy my needs for a computer on my vaccation while my macbook battery would be replaced in the mean time. But somehow it always fried and frustrated the hell out of me. I think that is because of my insufficient power supply - 1A could be a bit to weak for a b512 with wifi and a hub. So I googled on my tablet pc how I could measure amps with an arduino and found this site http://www.vwlowen.co.uk/arduino/current/current.htm - ordered some 0.05ohm resistors and plan on using the integrated gain of the analog to digital converter to get a better resolution and store the data on a rolling array.

RGBW Flashringlight

For my 29th birthday and christmas I got myself a dslr - with generating youtube videos and project documentation in mind (some nice sonic screwdriver long exposure pics are on the way). I would love to see how a ws2812b rainbow ringlight would look like, but i think the adafruit rings are too expensive. Ebay had some interesting leds, though /pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=261645486643&alt=web

Cypress Logic analyzer

Someday in 2011 there was a blogpost on hackaday [http://hackaday.com/2011/12/15/saleae-logic-analyzer-knockoff-hacking/ ] about a clone of the saleae logic analyzer and I bought a cy7c68013a dev board for under 10euros but never plugged it in. So with my raspberry working in console mode I fired up fxload and sigrok-cli but the ported versions were not the newest and compiling didn't work either so I wasted a lot of time on this... have to revisit that.

Game boy camera polaroid instant camera

this could get interesting - taking a printer module and a camera and merging it with an arduino to get an instant camera thing in a nintendo style. Ben Heck style maybe.

Since I would need a bit of RAM - the game boy printer instant camera would be a nice fubarino project, adding a little SPI LCD display and using its SD socket...

Attiny45 current logger - Nice find :)

RGBW Flashringlight - I also thought about buying some rings, but finaly you're right, to expensive (Although the prices are rather fair compared to single LEDs w/o pcb) :-/ But you can't compare those ebay LEDs to the WS2812b, they are not serial controllable. On ebay the WS2812b are not that expensive...

Game boy camera polaroid instant camera - Looking forward for your posts on this project :)

Don't forget to enjoy your holydays! ;)

Well i have to make it first.. while the arduino stuff helps - I think I have to add some bit toggling for the gain options and it is another opportunity for a new attiny board design ;)

Yeah, i wasn't able to explain myself :D while the rainbow stuff might be cool and the rings are reasonably priced, I think that having a mono but multi colored ring would be cool and maybe cheaper to recreate. Those LEDs are cool because of the extra white led in there, controlling 4pwms in software wouldn't be that hard ;)

I'm bidding on some game boy printers/cameras right now :)

I definitely do :)

The Rainbow Stuff is really nice. I didn't know, that you would prefer to use only one Color at a Time ;-)
A segmented ring with 1..3 LEDs and a µC each could also work out nicely ;)
