A Few Good Reasons Why Peter Knight Rocks
Peter Knight works with Massimo and Alex and co. at Tinker.it. He’s written some great AVR code, which is useful in Arduino. For example: Secret Thermometer takes advantage of the ATMega’s internal thermometer. Turns your ’328-based Arduino into a thermometer … Continue reading
Physical x Wonderfl
Shigeru Kobayashi, who made Gainer and Funnel, has made yet another nifty tool for physical computing: physical x wonderfl. It combines Gainer, Funnel, Firmata, Arduino, and Wonderfl.
Multiple time stamp checks on a microcontroller
Sometimes you need to manage multiple events with a microcontroller that all require different timing. For example, you might want to control a servomotor (which requires a 20 millisecond delay), blink an LED once a second, and read some sensors … Continue reading
Using an Accelerometer to Sense Which Way Is Up
ITP just got some nifty flat panel mounts that can rotate 360 degrees. They’re very easy to move, it takes only one hand. When I saw them, I thought, “what good is a rotating mount if the content on the … Continue reading
Sensorbase datalogger
Sensorbase.org is an open data repository run by the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing at UCLA. It’s a database of sensor databases. You can upload datasets to it, and you can browse other datasets as well. If you’ve never set … Continue reading
