Note: this is a complex project with many details. For the short version, please see:Portable environmental monitor presentationProduction ready design documentIntroductionLast year (2014) I put my spare time to some really good use: I designed my first...
The STM32 board was just a hair bigger than the PIC, but the biggest pieces are still the power switch, channel button, & battery. The plan is just to print an L enclosure which scotch tapes around the hot shoe & sticks up. The antenna will...
So, part of this project will involve creating very fast light pulses (the photo-flashes), and part will be detecting fast optical pulses (the milk drop and bullet detecting photo-gates). The two, of course, are related in that a fast optical pulse generator...
The idea was quite simple. Buy a linear actuator from OpenBuilds with a stepper motor, attach a camera on top of it, two tripods below, assemble a control box with some Arduino-compatible, WiFi-enabled board and write an Android application that would...
See Update BelowContext being more that of the puzzle of cases not one case "to rule them all," but I digress. The past week I've been going through a few catalogs to find an enclosure for D-DAQ's mainboard. Previously, the PCB's form factor was based...
