Oculus Rift: Step Into the Game by Oculus. RaspberryPi Powered Wearable Computer. I have been interested in wearable computing for a while. Until the RaspberryPi was released, there was no affordable and compact option for the computer part of a wearable computer. My original setup used a laptop in a backpack, but that is a little too big to be practical. I have seen a lot of arduino based wearable electronics, but they are not exactly what I have been looking for - a full power desktop computer that you can carry around at your side and use while walking, standing, sitting, or doing anything else.

As a linux guy for many years, the RaspberryPi is the perfect solution to my problem, and I'm already comfortable with the OS. Just so you guys know, this is my first instructable after being a lurker here for almost seven years. Update March 2013: I am now using a new (3D printed!) Update September 2013: Added a new video demonstration. Make a Mind-Controlled Arduino Robot. Makers Kimmo & Tero Karvinen, authors of Make: Arduino Bots and Gadgets, brought a very interesting project along with them to Maker Faire: Bay Area last year: an Arduino robot you control with your mind! The robot was a huge success and had a lot of people asking, “How do I build one?” Fortunately, Kimmo & Tero teamed up with Maker Press to bring you their latest book, Make a Mind-Controlled Arduino Robot (now available in the Maker Shed), so you can build one of your own. Mary Rotman, Publicist at O’Reilly Media, recently caught up with Kimmo & Tero for a quick Q&A.

Have you always been “makers”? Be sure to watch for other great Maker Press books in the near future. Michael Castor I am the Evangelist for the Maker Shed. Michaelcmaker@gmail.com Related. Arduino. My older son recently started school and needed his own desk for doing homework. I wanted to make something nicer than a simple tabletop with legs, and realized that I could also build in a bit of fun for when the homework is finished. Both my boys and I still had space travel on our minds from our summer trip to Kennedy Space Center. For this desk project, I decided to go with a NASA theme. I researched the Apollo Program as well as NASA's Mission Control Center, and designed my own console roughly based on those. I say "roughly" because the actual Mission Control does more monitoring than controlling, and isn't awash in the whiz-bang rocket noises young kids appreciate.

The desk resides under my son's loft bed (which I also built), and stays closed until the homework is finished: When playtime begins, the lid flips up to reveal the Mission Control console: As I mentioned in the video, I painted the underside of the lid with magnetic primer. Arduino. Λογότυπο Arduino Το Arduino είναι μια υπολογιστική πλατφόρμα βασισμένη σε μια απλή μητρική πλακέτα ανοικτού κώδικα, με ενσωματωμένο μικροελεγκτή και εισόδους/εξόδους, και η οποία μπορεί να προγραμματιστεί με τη γλώσσα Wiring (ουσιαστικά πρόκειται για τη γλώσσα προγραμματισμού C++ και ένα σύνολο από βιβλιοθήκες, υλοποιημένες επίσης στην C++ ). Το Arduino μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για την ανάπτυξη ανεξάρτητων διαδραστικών αντικειμένων αλλά και να συνδεθεί με υπολογιστή μέσω προγραμμάτων σε Processing, Max/MSP, Pure Data, SuperCollider. Οι περισσότερες εκδόσεις του Arduino μπορούν να αγοραστούν προ-συναρμολογημένες· το διάγραμμα και πληροφορίες για το υλικό είναι ελεύθερα διαθέσιμα για αυτούς που θέλουν να συναρμολογήσουν το Arduino μόνοι τους.

Το πρόγραμμα Arduino έλαβε τιμητική μνεία στην κατηγορία Digital Communities στο Prix Ars Electronica το 2006. Ιστορικό[Επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα] Η πλακέτα του Arduino UNO 3 Εκδόσεις[Επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα] Η πλακέτα του Arduino Lilypad. Arduino GR. Arduino - HomePage.
