This projected stalled, OpenCV is hard who knew. Also the pan/tilt mechanism was kind of a fail due to the stiffness of the wires fighting the servos/preventing them from returning/going to the right position. Also no positional feedback.I have another...
The usual disclaimers apply here: Don't try this at home, I'm not responsible if you burn your house down, etc. I don't leave the heater running when I'm not there. It wouldn't do any good anyway. It's a radiant heater meant to heat you directly,...
Image showing wiring relates to the following:1. Cricket WiFi module2. Wakeup trigger from button3. GND to Cricket4. VCC to Cricket5. VCC from battery to button and Cricket(4). I solder the three cables to a thin cut strip of veroboard and heat shrink...
There are 4 screws holding the colored backing plates to the stand, but those are inside the frame, and the whole frame would need to be dissembled to remove it that way. Even after that, the pad would need to be removed anyway to access the piezo, so...
An Adequate receiver coil is needed for this mod, go for the slimmest you can find, 2 pin and don't go super-cheap. need around 800ma (rated).It's good to test the coil first with a multimeter if you have one, mine was 4.92V(good) I removed the outside...
The project has its roots in the SMD soldering station by Martin Kumm(http://www.martin-kumm.de/wiki/doku.php?id=Projects:SMD_Solderstation)Some years ago I got a tray full of ATMEGA168's and since then I've always wonderes why people made shields for...
The situation with the software is this:There isn't much of it yet. I have verified the proper functionality of the entire hardware, seen a nice video output of a demo picture on the display, and that's pretty much all of it so far. I was originally...
So what you see here is Schematic and PCB and example Arduino sketch of clock implementation with external RTC module. There are also Gerber files for Seeedstudio Fusion PCB service so you can easily produce PCB only for 5$ (not including shipping)Generally...
We're putting some of the trickier stuff, like the LEDs and capacitive touch buttons, on the ATTiny88 and providing a simple Library interface for you to use to talk to them, making this badge easier to hack yourself.The goal is to make something that...
This is an ellipse trammel machine with a motorized wheel to drive the operating shaft. I used a couple of bearings for the shuttles and curtain tracks for the tracks. It is crude but fun to watch for a few minutes anyway. This is often called a bullsh**...
This is my dream controller for Kerbal Space Program. It is a hobby project, and I am a PhD student, so expect slow progress. My focus is on quality inputs. I don't expect to be able to fly with just the panel, and I'd rather be looking at the screen...
Rogue-Like Not being much of a computer game player, it took me a while to identify the game genre. It is a text based "rogue-like" game. Wikipedia defines Rogue-Like as: Roguelike ... is a subgenre of role-playing video game characterized by a dungeon...
First part of the system could be data collector of solar panels status.There are two possible solutions how to collect the data:1. Measure solar panels status directly.2. Use invertor data available on RS 485 interface. They use Modbus protocol.I prefer...
Unfortunately I had no place in my kitchen to put my vacuum cleaner. So I had the idea to position it under the kitchen unit. The space is unused anyway, so why not use it for something useful. There are already some similar projects out there,...
Some things I'd do differently next time: Include a programming header for the ATtiny85. I had to solder it some 30 awg wire-wrap wire to existing PCB pads to program the ATtiny before adding any other components.Use regular 0603 resistors instead of...
