The Daily Duino

So our little talk was the first one at the con and it was the bees knees.  Here is the video from the talk, slides will be up soon. The Extraordinary Journey from Fundamental Electronics to Fabulous Enchanted Systems with Arduino’s and Magical Potions from droops on Vimeo.

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 [...]

BEHOLD!… the Arduino USB board has evolved from the old “Decemilia” to the new “Deumilanove”!  Just like a fine wine, the Arduino keeps getting better over the course of time. The new Deumilanove offers a few improvements over previous Arduinos including: automatically selects the appropriate power source (USB or external adaptor), eliminating the need for [...]

I am working on having processing read and act on data from the ardunino, this is a simple test and code should be up soon, i am working on a code repo for Morgellon and I to share projects. Arduino / Processing Color Selector from droops on Vimeo. This is for our talk at Phreaknic, [...]

So here’ s my little version of the drum kit.  I’ve just used sample code from arduino.cc, but it’s more than enough to get the project up and running.  Expect to see it evolve over time, and if you plan on being at Phreaknic you can play with it there! Arduino Knock Sensor Drum Kit [...]

Metamorphosis from Glenn Marshall on Vimeo.

I totally ripped this off from Morgellon, but it sounded fun and I wanted to try it. He is going to build his own version of this that I am sure is going to be cooler.  I had to call him and ask some questions as he is most definitely the hardware end of our [...]

Recently, I posted about using a solar panel as a method for charging a battery that powers the Arduino.  Although using a solar cell as a power source is the most obvious use, it is not the only use! I found a post over at little-scale that shows how to use a solar cell with [...]
