Schuyler St. Leger presented an “Arduino 101” session at the Desert Code Camp software developer conference, held in Arizona last weekend. A 12-year-old maker and member of HeatSync Labs Makerspace in Mesa, AZ, Schuyler is a quite simply a prodigy. Schuyler does a remarkably good job explaining Arduino and walking through the basics. His pacing […]
Michael Ciuffo of Ch00ftech built this tiny persistence-of-vision (POV) display, based on an Attiny24, to fit on his longboard’s 72mm wheels.
Alberto Panu’s ArduPower is a 6-port power strip controlled with an Arduino Uno and ethernet shield.
Sean McBeth of Philadelphia’s Hive76 hackerspace built this audio-based video game:
Check out this cool Janne Kyttanen-inspired 3D-printed iPhone sweater case from Shapeways’ Design for iPhone 5 Contest winner ArtizanWork. It’s a prime example of the sort of object that can only be produced with a 3D printer. The unibody construction with both hard and soft surface attributes combined with a novel presentation ultimately won over the judges.
This recent post at Hack a Day, about Utah-based Adaptive Computing’s 163 LED All Spark Cube, spurred an interesting comment thread about the current world record for voxel count in 3D displays using a spatial grid of LEDs. Of course, once you start talking world records, questions start coming up fast: Do monochrome systems count? What about arrangements that are not cubes? Should hobbyist builds be in a separate category from commercial products? Right now, the title holder seems to be…
With humble beginnings of strapping an Ipod to the bottom of a skateboard, Theo Watson and Emily Gobeille of Design I/O have created a method to visualize skateboard tricks in real time.
