Robert Brauer :: random walks across computer science and procrastination shred: Hacking Expedit. Recently we decided to beef up our bland ikea furniture a bit. The victim was an expedit rack that we use as a hi-fi rack in our living room. I am a huge fan of pixel art and would cover my whole appartement in 8-bit if I could. Anyhow, as we wanted it to be something that is functional and nice to look at, we decided the only reasonable thing to do is to cover the whole rack with a curtain of dice.

From a functional perspective, this had two benefits. First it stabilised the rack by making it heavy and rigid, which makes it a perfect base plate for a vinyl player. Secondly it hides the mess in the rack. We finished it for quite some time now and are really happy with the results. Step 1: At first, we chose an appropriate image. Step 2: Using the Pixastic library we built a javascript based prototype (that you can find online here). Step 3: In a final step, we replaced every grey pixel within the image with its counterpart symbol for the face of the dice. Our final rack: And this is it: NUD Collection. Snoerboer - Home page.

Материал из LicrymWiki Сделай сам проекционные часы. Захотелось мне обзавестись проекционными часами в комнату. Удобная вещь – просыпаешься – смотришь в потолок, а там время огромными цифрами горит. Пробег по магазинам показал – дешевле чем за 1000 рублей мне сие чудо техники не найти.

Вторая немаловажная деталь – источник света. 300 рублей за светодиод мощностью 3 ватта в принципе терпимо, да и прокормить этого монстра (ток до 1 А) можно, проблема встала где достать у нас в городе. В качестве источника питания был куплен универсальный (1,5В-12В 300мА) китайский блок питания. Ну и в закромах были найдены 2 выпуклые линзы, вытащенные из какого-то проектора.

Шлейфик в кадре тоже был найден в закромах, он кажется был вытащен из cd-rom привода. Приступим к модернизации экранчика. Далее вторая проблема – как подвести сигнал к экранчику. Припаяем шлейф к часам: И соберем всё вместе: Как мы видим у нас всё получилось. Я решил делать корпус из толстого картона. Склеим первую часть часов: Digital projection clock 2 — LicrymWiki. Материал из LicrymWiki Самодельные проекционные часы (вариант номер два.) Cтатья практически дублирует статью по первым проекционным часам, но прочитать всё же стоит. Начнем с материалов. Основная конструкция часов выполнена из толстого плотного картона, такой картон используют для корочек книги или вставляют для жесткости в обложку папок. Линзы правда были куплены и обточены под заказ в оптике — 2 стеклянные линзы на +25 диоптрий. В качестве окуляра мы будем использовать обычный люстровый патрон для ламп, он имеет наружную резьбу и специальную гайку. Дисплей Первым делом нужно сделать дисплей цифр работающий на просвет.

Если пленки матовые, то желательно их удалить и заменить на глянцевые, иначе будет теряться ощутимая часть светового потока. На место платы установим изготовленную нами платочку. Разделительные канавки прорезаны канцелярским ножом. Светодиод Обычно ток через светодиод 20 мА. Оптика Оптика у нас довольно проста — всего 2 линзы. Цифры даны приблизительные. Сборка.
