DIY intervalometer for Nikon DSLR cameras

DIY intervalometer for Nikon DSLR cameras

Etharooni designed this wonderful intervalometer to help him take awesome photos with his camera. He writes: Entry-level Nikon DSLRs don’t have many built in features that the higher-end cameras do, like an interval timer, for instance. It’s an exceedingly useful feature. If you want to take star trails, time lapse, repetitive self-timer shooting, or whatever, […]

Introducing the Concertinome

Introducing the Concertinome

Anonymous reader points out this squeezebox gone digital, incorporating a 16-button monome pad – the Concertinome is a custom made instrument combining the concertina accordion with the monome style keyboard and electronic air pressure sensors. It was made by Espen Sommer Eide 2009 and demonstrated in this concert at Visningsrommet USF, Bergen, Norway. Seems like […]

Arduino aquarium controller

Arduino aquarium controller

Aquariums can be a lot of work, especially the saltwater variety. Why not have an Arduino handle some of the routine tasks like temperature monitoring, pH, and water levels? I had an aquarium for many years, and I would have really appreciated a little Arduino automation. More about the Arduino aquarium controller In the Maker […]

Arduino in space!

Arduino in space!

Soon to be deployed as part of the Atmospheric Neutral Density Experiment test program, the Pollux satellite carries student-designed payloads built with Arduino – Westfield High School accelerometer payload: This payload uses the Atmega16 microcontroller and measures the voltage of three SCA610 accelerometers made by VTI Technologies. The accelerometers will be used to detect rotation […]
