GoalsThe goal of this project is to emulate the Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite (via it's IEEE 802.15.4 protocol) and interpret the commands from Canon transceiver so that the Paul C Buff - Einstein light can be controlled with the Canon gear.CyberSync CSXCV...
Interactive Disk SpinThe Interactive Disk Spin was born one fateful night when Paul took the cover off an old hard drive, started compulsively spinning the shiny platters with his finger, and then wondered "how fast am I really making it go?" Two late-night...
This project has several components, each of which might potentially be its own project:1) The modded monocular head-mounted display/goggles2) The haptic glove interface3) The dehumidification mechanism for the goggles4) The software stack for implicit...
This was a project a few months in the making. I originally started it while I was still at SpaceX but really got to focus on it right before burning man 2013. I really wanted an 8 ft long carbon fiber staff with a ton of full bright white capable RGB...
Typically, a user should create a pointer to a cfg_struct, initialize it with cfg_init(), and then perform actions on that object (lookup, add, delete) by passing the pointer to the functions here. At end of use, call cfg_free to clean up the object....
Two weeks ago, I set off to a business trip to Germany, which is also my home country. I always try to have a few days of vacation included in such a trip in order to be able to visit my family. And what does a father with his son living in another country...
There's an old hard-disk which I stripped down so that the front only has spindle coming through. I used a mill to face off some of the protuberances and other features which held the read/write head-arm in place. At the bottom there is a PCB I...
The Smart Poi: uses the accelerometer in many ways. One way is to translate the sensor data into RGB LED values, printing the colors into corresponding points in the rotational arc. Wirelessly the accelerometer data is transmitted to a computer using...
The Red Alert Alarm features a 3 pronged attack on your unconsciousness. First a 1000W flood light will turn on to help simulate sunlight. Shortly there after a 120db siren will go off for 2-3 seconds. This is enough to scare the bejesus out of a lot...
I've wanted to build my own amp for quite a while. For bass guitar, the selection of amplifiers you can buy is pretty lack-luster, and mid-volume studio amps are hard to find. It seems like most of what's available is either a practice amp or a stadium...
When a visitor to our site requests to control Sid our Node.js server adds them to the queue. When it's their turn they send movement commands and receive feedback in realtime using socket.io. These commands are relayed from Node.js to the Rapsberry...

I bought an XMS amplifier from a friend years ago and although it was serving it's purpose I got quite frustrated with having to toggle the loudness feature every time the input was changed. This was the beginning of what has now become my network enabled...
So, where I stand now. I ended up using a Mesa 5i25 PCI card and a 7i76 step/dir control card. The Yaskawa servos have pretty good auto tune so I decided to leave the PID loop up to the servo drives.Speaking of servo drives, that and the servo motors...
I picked up the vacuum system from Portland State two weeks ago from a professor I know. It was too big for the little things they do and by the time it warms up and pumps down there is no time left. So they decided to get rid of this system and build...
