How to program your Arduino Pro Mini
When you want to program Arduino Pro Mini you’ll need an external programmer, because the Mini is so tiny it doesn’t have a programmer by itself… You can use something like a USB to Serial device, i.e. the FT232RL USB to Serial Breakoutboard from Sparkfun. Connect them this way: Now […]
Creating remotely controlled light-sculpture with glass object and ir-module
Lily Pad in a cuddle toy
Just squeeze gently in ear or tail and something magic will happen.To be continued, I’ll explain in a few days… This one is very important: a 750 ohm resistor:
Turn pages of iBooks app with just a hand gesture
[Updated january 2017] Project almost finished! Everything works, everything built in an aluminium case, 3d-logo on it. The only thing is that I have to construct a wooden standard… But very soon I will post more photo’s & code & video etc.
Less boring hand strength exercise with Arduino
CAUTION: Training too much with too heavy weight can cause serious injuries (as I experienced recently…) Since I am a kind of rock climber hand strength is a real important issue for me, so I have a lot of hand strength trainers, but they’re all so boring in use.Also people […]
How to hookup Adafruit VCNL4010 Proximity and Light sensor
I couldn’t find any image of the circuit to hook up my Arduino Uno to this Adafruit proximity sensor brakeboard on the internet… So I had to read it somewhere, and I don’t like to read, I like to watch. So here’s the fritzing/breadboard scheme: It’s very simple as you […]
Proximity values create graphics in Processing
Coming soon. Using the SparkFun RGB and Gesture Sensor – APDS-9960
Etch a sketch on the computer with Arduino
Trying to simulate this good old fashioned toy, the Etch-a-Sketch, on my computer.I had lots of difficulties, like the Serial port wasn’t responding right, I got this annoying ‘null point exception’ in Progressing, but in the end I succeeded!Many thanks to all the examples and help I found on the […]
Programmable Christmas LEDS with Arduino
This is one of my first Arduino projects where I’ll be using Fritzing software for designing and producing my PCB. Also I tried building a nice, open case for it. I wanted to create a sort of Christmas Lights Loop that loops in 6 different schemes. Like a random one, a […]
