Started by sewing the EL wire design onto the jacket. The wool was easy to poke a hole into and pass the wire through. The holes did not tear, which is very nice. I tacked the wire into place with a couple of loops of thread. To make square corners (see...
Step 6 - Get your top graphics printed, or if you can paint the top. Your choice. If you choose to do graphics like I did, you will want to have them printed on a latex inkjet, using a quality self adhesive vinyl, with a polycarbonate...
What you should consider when choosing an amplifier: First you should consider the number of inputs and outputs you want;Then after you should consider the output power;Power supply get quickly expensive when you want more than 100W output and you might...
Greetings fellow Enthusiasts Let me introduce myself. I'm Bones MacGyver. I like to make sparks.I'm going to do my best to help out the community with their battery woes.By no means am I a battery expert. But I have used and abused MANY Ni-Cd cells (and...
Solder wires onto the Blue, Brown, Orange, and Yellow wires, plus GND / VCC (Red and Gray). Solder to a 6 pin female header. (Or, if you have enough room inside the controller, you can use the last couple inches of cable, and just solder...
Solder up the AVR + regulator onto a perf board, according to the schematic. Include programming headers (MOSI / MISO / SCK / RESET) and a 6 pin breakout for the PS2 controller wires you soldered last step.The schematic for this is below:
Now that you have gotten some of the parts, and hopefully stocked your parts bins and caused some carnage in the process, we are ready to proceed. This is the end goal of this hullabaloo:You will wind two large inductors using the cores you salvaged...
Winding the inductors is easier than you might think! I used about 4 feet of 18GA Magnet wire to wind the inductors for this particular power supply. Each inductor has ~30 turns on it for an inductance of about 90uH. If you don't have...
Start drawing on Processing First lets create a code on Processing, which lets you draw freehand on the computer.Download Processing from https://www.processing.org/download/ .Here is the processing code:int prevX=mouseX, prevY=mouseY; //to record previous...
Make Processing control Arduino THE FINAL PROGRAM:So,you have started drawing on Processing. Now, you'll 'feel' the drawing!Imagine you are blind (remember, this device was invented for blind people to draw on computers):How would you feel a raised line...
Acquire the table.These things are mostly made of cardboard. Not joking.For that reason, when you start cutting apart large internal sections of it, it start to become VERY weak. Try to leave a large edge section to help with the structure of the table,...
