The Daily Duino

I am working on a few ways of taking seemingly random data (static, light) and turning it into some sort of physical representation with cool colors.  While looking at ways others were doing it, i found VandalSpray.  Here are some pics and video.

http://www.talk2myshirt.com/blog/archives/1266 This is super cool.  Its a band to be work over the womb to detect movement of the baby.  Then it bluetooths a computer which then posts the movement to twitter.  It almost makes me want to have another kid.  Let me see if my wife would wear this.

I wanted to see the range of my new distance sensor, so I hooked it up to some led’s. /*Distance Ranging to LED Bar*/ //this can be done better in a loop #define led1 2 #define led2 3 #define led3 4 #define led4 5 #define led5 6 #define led6 7 #define led7 8 #define led8 [...]

Morgellon had a cool idea to build a clone of one of these games.  ie press a button of the right color when you are told to do so, to keep the music playing. So we are both working on 2 totally different ways to build such a device and randomly i stumbled across this [...]

Morgellon and I met up last night and went over our talk, in the overall score he beat me 5 to 1, but we still have two more events.  Some of the watchers of our practice got into the grab bag early and ended up with a LCD and a few Freeduinos.  They promised to [...]

I saw this floating around the web and wanted to share with all.  Its free printable graph paper that allows you to scan your drawing without picking up the graph lines with your scanner. http://konigi.com/tools/graph-paper I also archived it on our site, http://dailyduino.com/graphpaper/ way to go konigi!

Arduino Floating Ball from droops on Vimeo. Arduino Etch-a-Sketch from droops on Vimeo. I had seen some similar things on the internet, but I wanted to make my own.  I took 3 pots hooked up to analog inputs on my Arduino and then sent a serial connection that looked like this: X56 Y378 Z5 X68 [...]

Anyone getting started in the “land of micro-controllers” will notice that there are countless different types.  Even among certain platforms, there are many variations based on tasks and conditions.  This is true too in the land of the Arduino platform. Landon Cox, recently wrote up a good introduction to the Arduino platform and a comprehensive [...]

We are a small group of friends that enjoy electronics and especially the Arduino. We are going to post our projects, guides, reviews, news we find interesting and others projects. We are all about some openness, so be prepared for videos and images and code. Here are a few images to get things started. Now [...]
