AlphaPOV: An alphanumeric persistence of vision display. You have probably seen persistence of vision (POV) toys at some point– little LED dot-matrix displays that, when waved around, display a picture or a message that seems to hang in mid air.
We’ve been playing with 16-segment LED displays lately, and it some point it occurred to us that we’d never seen an alphanumeric POV display. So, we went ahead and tried it out, and hey– it works! AlphaPOV is the result. It’s a neat effect since the clearly defined segments– designed for text– introduce a certain degree of legibility into the display. The starting point for building this project is our LED Micro-Readerboard. In any sort of technical context, persistence of vision is a slippery term. In any case, it isn’t our intent to delve into the mechanisms by which we perceive things. There are a lot of good DIY POV projects. Amongst the commercial offerings (which all seem to be derived from efforts of the DIY community), this LED Art Fan stands out.

It isnt Real its just because your so awfully slow!!! ;-) based on an afterimage phenomenon, ie the reaction slowness of the retina, the illusion of reality our brains are "lying" DejaVu. LilyPad Wrist Band POV. Wii Remote IR Camera Hack with Arduino Interface. You'll need a Wii remote or "Wiimote" to start with.
Normally they are about $40, in the end that is not too bad for a pretty awesome sensor. Otherwise you can check out ebay or elsewhere for used or broken Wii remotes. You'll need to rip apart the case. It has some crazy three pronged screws. I didn't want to completely trash the case so I made a small tool to take it apart.
Now you need to desolder the 8 pins and the 2 struts holding the camera on the board. How to use desoldering braid: You might want to keep the rest of the parts. Arduino Guay - Proyectos Arduino, Electrónica y Micros. Arduino. Arduino is an open-source software and hardware electronics prototyping platform intended for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
Arduino projects are a popular and well supported way to get involved in electronics design. Arduino Robot The Arduino Robot is the first official Arduino on wheels. The robot has two processors, one on each of its two boards. The Motor Board controls the motors, and the Control Board reads sensors and decides how to operate. Both Motor and Control boards are microcontroller boards based on the ATmega32u4 (datasheet). Programming the robot is similar to the process with the Arduino Leonardo. As always with Arduino, every element of the platform – hardware, software and documentation – is freely available and open-source. Make: Arduino. Notifying Doorbell with PushingBox.

Lilypad Arduino « Medical and Health Related Projects with Arduino. Anirudh Sharma, an IT Engineer from Rajasthan Technical University has developed a system that offers non-obtrusive navigation for the visually impaired .
Calling it Le Chal (Hindi for ‘Take me there’), Sharma conceptualized and demonstrated the system at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Media Lab Design and Innovation Workshop 2011. The Le Chal system comprises of a pair of shoes, one of which is fitted with Vibrators, proximity sensors and a Bluetooth pad which is connected to an Android phone that calculates directions and real time location using Google Maps and the phone’s built-in GPS and compass module. How It Works The user simply needs to speak the final destination before the start of his journey and the Android app formulates the route, calculating turn by turn directions which are sent to the shoe wirelessly via Bluetooth.

Video Sniffin' is way to turn these security devices into your own environmental television studio by plucking the wireless signals from the air and capturing them to your own recording device. Why bother to buy a camera when there are so many already within the environment? Wireless receiver electronics store The key piece of equipment is the wireless receiver. Arduino « MA Visual Arts: Digital Art. Isaac Cordal. This week we had a workshop on arduino with Leon Barker.
I am interested in using Arduino to drive multiple LEDs, making it “fade out” and “fade in” with a different time. My idea is to create a projection with the meshwire shadow from the abstract to figurative. The distance of the LEDs with regard to meshwire is very important, approaching and receding the LEDs with engines you get a totally different effect of the same object. This is the code that I´ve used to manage 6 leds.
Silicon Republic. Hexbug: Bichos robóticos con movimiento real. La compañía Innovation ha estado produciendo desde hace algún tiempo su línea de insecto-robots llamada Hexbug, capaces de sacarle un grito a la mayoría de personas que teman ver insectos moviéndose por el piso de sus casas.
Ahora han ampliado la línea con la llegada de la pertubadora araña robótica Spider. ¿Quieres darle un vistazo para saber como funciona? La compañía de juguetes, que es en realidad una división de otra compañía que se especializa en aplicaciones complejas de educación sobre robótica, es responsable de la creación de Hexbug. Algunos de los insectos poseen funciones como sensores y controles de movimiento remoto. Pero el más interesante de todos ellos es el nuevo Spider, que como su nombre indica, asemeja a una araña real, y también se mueve de la misma forma que hará poner los pelos de punta a algunos. Para darte una mejor idea, mejor mira el siguiente vídeo de demostración: Top 10 DIY Arduino Projects and HOW-TO Tutorials! Arduino has been widely popular among hackers and DIY-addicts out there for modding/hacking things.
Top 10 Arduino Projects. Below are some videos/links/descriptions to the Arduino projects that have really impressed me, the idea is that I’ll try them myself when I secure the correct components: This video inspired my current project, pulling the GPS data off an inexpensive safety camera alerter from Maplin, and storing it to SD Card.
Then taking the idea further, using the (quite expensive ) GPRS module and the following code, send the GPS data by SMS to allow ‘live’ tracking of a car. I like this video because it give lots of good tips about laying out your prototype board. Top 40 Arduino Projects of the Web. Arduino Projects.
