Free professional wind turbine blade

Beware my friend, it's a loooong and detailed instructable since professional wind turbine have many parameters to take in account. After that we'll jump, and backflip like ninjas with file formats to land in 123D Make and finally build this blade. With all this you're (almost) ready to start manufacturing wind turbines :) My goal is to show that a high tech industrial product can be made with a few tools, limited material and some knowledge (tricks?) And I hope to physically help make this kind of development in some parts of the world where you can't afford to buy such high end products but need them to generate green energy for local community development.

Best RGB LEDs for any project (WS2812) When we're working with LEDs, we often like to control their state (on/off), brightness, and color.

Best RGB LEDs for any project (WS2812)

There are many, many different ways of going about this, but none are as compact a solution as the WS2812 RGB LED. In its tiny 5mm x 5mm package, the WS2812 includes 3 super bright LEDs (Red, Green, and Blue) and a compact driver circuit (WS2811) that only requires one data input to control the state, brightness, and color of the 3 LEDs. At the expense of needing only one data line to control 3 LEDs, there comes a demand for highly precise timing in the communication with the WS2811.

For this reason, a real-time microcontroller (e.g., AVR, Arduino, PIC) is required. Sadly, a Linux-based microcomputer or an interpreted microcontroller such as the Netduino or Basic Stamp cannot provide the sufficient timing accuracy that is needed. Circuits.io blog.

24 hour junk 3d scanner - LVL1

It is a little late but I hope it is still useful. All of the code used can be pulled from this github repo. The Idea: This project came out of the Hackathon LVL1 had in June 2012. The rules were minimal but had a big impact on the end product. The competition ran from noon Saturday till noon Sunday, so 24 hours. We had the weeks leading up to the event to look around the boneyard and think about what we thought we could make. Car computer (It is a low powered computer that runs a VIA x86 processor and runs off of 12VDC. That is all that is needed to build the scanner. Tapping into the button on the bar code scanner. The computer was hardwired into the PSU. Old ATX power supply no longer worked for powering a full computer but was still able to power the low power computer and the turntable.

Sure looks like it was made out of a pile of junk. The computer itself is running Debian Linux with Apache, PHP, and Python installed on it. Welcome - Bare Conductive. CommentReparer.com - Apprenez à tout réparer. Buy some sugru - the future needs fixing - sugru.

How-To: Shrinkify Your Arduino Projects. Ever since I started making projects with the Arduino, I’ve had a desire to shrink them down to a single, small circuit board.

How-To: Shrinkify Your Arduino Projects

One of my first projects, a customizable SLR intervalometer, was packed in a phonebook-sized cardboard box and used the Arduino Deumilanove connected to a breadboard with jumper wires. I brought the box out to Central Park at 5am to make a timelapse of the sunrise, but when I got to the park, I spent 20 minutes fixing the connections between the Arduino, the breadboard, and the components. Since then, I’ve explored a few different ways of shrinking projects down and making them more robust. For the intervalometer, I designed a circuit board that had female header pins to seat an Arduino Nano. It was a huge improvement on the design, but I knew I could do a lot better.
