CubeSensors Extend The Concept Of The Quantified Self To Your Living Space. Sensors are quickly becoming a category of external hardware gadgets unto themselves, and Slovenia-based CubeSensors is creating a set that essentially monitors your living space to provide you with aggregate data about noise, temperature, humidity, light, air quality and more to provide clues about how your environment might be affecting you and those around you.

CubeSensors Extend The Concept Of The Quantified Self To Your Living Space

CubeSensors are small hardware cubes that pack a bevy of sensors within, at just 2-inches long, wide and tall. They’re powered by an internal rechargeable battery, so that they don’t need nasty plugs to work, and they stream their data over Wi-Fi to a cloud-based dashboard to track information and provide it to users in real-time. They can be set to provide alerts, and the data can either be made public or set to private access for keeping it within the household. living meeting sleeping header app_screen 3cubes.

It gives a very nice 3d effect. We made two box animation functions for the LED cube. Effect_box_shrink_grow() draws a wireframe box filling the entire cube, then shrinks it down to one voxel in one of 8 corners. We call this function one time for each of the 8 corners to create a nice effect. Effect_box_woopwoop() draws a box that starts as a 8x8x8 wireframe box filling the entire cube. Here is how effect_box_shrink_grow() works. It takes four arguments, number of iterations, rotation, flip and delay. To make the function as simple as possible, it just draws a box from 0,0,0 to any point along the diagonal between 0,0,0 and 7,7,7 then uses axis mirror functions from draw.c to rotate it. 1) Enter main iteration loop. 2) Enter a for() loop going from 0 to 15. 3) Set xyz to 7-i. 4) When i = 7, the box has shrunk to a 1x1x1 box, and we can't shrink it any more. 7) Do the rotations.

Here is how it works: 0xMach: Mind-controlled Nerf gun. Intro Before I start this article, there's something I have to admit.
