Arduino Seismograph V2.0 (Concept)

noreply@blogger.com (Arduino HN) — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 12:50:00 +0000

This is the Arduino Seismograph V2.0, this is just the concept of one idea, it's no longer use an piezo buzzer like my previous seismograph, this one use an optical mouse as the input sensor, of course this idea has some pros and cons.

The Pros:
-It has a high level of sensitivity to the movements.
-Capable of detect the Vertical and Horizontal movements.
-Only use 2 digital inputs.

The Cons:
-The installation problem, since it will be hard to desing the way that the ccd sensor of the mouse sense the moves of the ground, I'm thinking leave the mouse static and some sort of plane with an stripe or square pattern that will move up and down with an weigth above (check image).

-The possible friction since the sensor needs to be very close to the plane to detect the movements.

After all this is just an concept, so it can be or not built.

I leave you the video of the test #1.

Just add water, some color paints, an steady hand, some imagination and amazing painting skills.

10+ to this artist for originality.

Electronic symbol online search tool

noreply@blogger.com (Arduino HN) — Thu, 13 May 2010 12:25:00 +0000

Don't know what is the symbol of an electronic part and you have spend alot of time searching on internet, well ElectricalWhat come to the rescue and online search tool that help you find the schematic symbol of any electronic part.

WHAT IS ELECTRICALWHAT?!
Frustrated by the difficulty of searching schematic symbols through long lists with little information led to the creation of Electrical What !?, a database of electronic components. Electrical What !? displays all electronic components in a easily scanable and cataloged format. However what truly sets Electrical What !? apart from your average reference book is the ability to search by appearance. Using these tools Electrical What !? hopes to make looking for electronic symbols a breeze.

Take a look and let me know what you tink about this free and helpfull service.

How about this... the robots getting into circus business..., well not really but close.

The director of the robot development engineering laboratory in the Tohoku Gakuin University of Japan the Dr. Masaaki Kumagai created this ball balancing robot the video shows the posible use for him. but I thing the nemesis of this little and interesting robot like any other of this kind are the STAIRS.

Arduino and SheevaPlug together

noreply@blogger.com (Arduino HN) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:59:00 +0000

Ken Shirriff from Arc Language Blog has finaly (with hard work) communicated the Arduino and the Sheevaplug mini server, giving to the Arduino strong abilities of home automation, surveilance, monitoring and also log archiving.

He started doing an little example of home monitoring, recording the ilumination on his room by reading the light in a photocell conected to the Arduino who then sends the data to the sheevaplug through a serial conection, the sheevaplug generates graphics that can be check by accesing it through a web service.

The WII Motion Plus decoded!!

noreply@blogger.com (Arduino HN) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:37:00 +0000

That's correct the WIIM+ was decoded, and we expected that because this device like the Wii Nunchuk communicates through the I2C bus, making it easy to interfaze with Arduino.

knuckles904 wrote in his BLOG how to make the connection with the Arduino and the scketch to establish communication, the code is well commented so it will be easy to follow, for those who want a device with 6 sensors at good price, and only use 2 Arduino's analog ports without the need for conversion from analogue to digital because the WIIM+ do it for you.
