If the Peltier elements are placed much closer (5 mm = 0.2 inch instead of 15 mm = 0.6 inch) the illusion is not stronger. It seems a little weaker.If the skin is more sensitive, then the burn sensation should be stronger, right? Not always. For example,...
This project presents several challenges but the first one I grappled with was a good way to cheaply sense the distribution of body weight to the ground through the different parts of the foot. I was sent this paper which is a good literature review...
Rishi: We started working on the base plates We are making base plates so the posts can stand upright without falling. The width of the base plate is 9.247" and the length is 8.018" and the height is 0.4" I also started learning how to...
MakerMod is a connection interface for electronics projects that breaks you free from your development platform and lets you branch out as needed to the right environment for your project.What do all of these development systems have in common? At...
I always like when I come home and have packages on my doorstep. Now that my other project for making the tank tracks is starting to grow I can use some of the funds from that to pay for parts for other related projects. The main reason that I need these...
I am the proud owner of a hardware neural network chip, the NeuroMem CM1K, which is what the NeuroMem Brain Card is centered on. Problem is, when I first got it, there was very little documentation on how to use it. That was in 2015, and NeuroMem ran...
So I built this hardware ages ago but it was up to the software to do the heavy lifting. I finally decided to pick this up again after finally getting around to figuring out the software platform I was going to use for my projects (updates for my other...
HardwareThe device needs to be portable and durable if it should be used while under the influence. The 11.1 Wh/hr lipo battery provides about 8 hours of continuous use. All the components are stuck to the battery pack with thick double sided tape. I...
IntroductionFirst off, let's briefly explain a circuit board is assembled. To aid in the explanation, let's take the analogy of baking a pizza. First of all you'll need the crust, which for us is a bare printed circuit board (PCB) made with different...
I soldered 15 LEDs today, and I soldered them backwards. I wonder how and why this is always happening to me, but I guess that is due to my laziness to check my own sketches... nevermind, some arduino code later I had this little mockup prepared. You...
The next step is the communication. Not the main protocol, that will come later. This is for determining position. There will be metal plates between the rails and a contact on the bottom of the engines. When these touch, the engine's AVR will sense...
Where do i start? So, i decided i needed to start somewhere. I didn't want to buy a reflow oven, because there to expensive for my liking (like €440 here). And i didnt trust the ebay or amazon import type of oven's. So i was willing to try and...
The clock is based upon an Arduino Uno using a RTC module. The display is a 16x9 Charlieplexed LED array. The 'nixie tube' consists of a machined aluminium base that is matched to a glass tube. I laser cut a couple of cirular plates that...
Overall structure Building a complete robotic frame is an interesting challenge but could be really time consuming. In order to focus on project's goals, I decided to use TurtleBot3 plates which present many advantages: numerous holes offer good modularity...
It's not completely reliable even when I play it and.....it doesn't work for old people or people with thick skin at all. The skin conductivity is too low to trigger the resistive sensors. I couldn't make them more sensitive since sweat would cause false...
