Working on my communication
I’m beginning to realize that most of the big electronics projects that I have right now are going to require a more serious level of inter-device communication than most of my previous stuff. Any kind of UAV/quad is going to … Continue reading

Networked Arduino
I picked up two separate Ethernet solutions for Arduino while I was at Maker Faire; an Arduino Ethernet Shield, and a Nanode 5. Once I got them home (and got the Nanode soldered together), it turns out that they use … Continue reading

Spring projects
Maker Faire comes at the perfect time each year. I’ve worked my way through all of the winter projects, and starting to think up new ideas. The projects that are on my mind at the moment: – home automation (start … Continue reading
UAV design
After much reading and re-reading, I think that I’m finally starting to understand what’s necessary in order to build a UAV. First, let’s talk about a regular RC airplane. You have a transmitter in your hands that has some number … Continue reading
Wireless Arduino programming
That was really cool. There are times when you end up doing something hardcore and not realizing it until it happens. There are other times when you set out to do something hardcore, and you are just amazed when it … Continue reading
More bathroom scale madness
I got the bathroom scale circuit logging data to an SD card tonight. The Adafruit logging shield came in handy again. I had to work through a number of issues; in particular, the sd card in the shield was dead, … Continue reading
Hacking a bathroom scale
I decided to keep closer track of my weight. As a geek, that means some kind of spreadsheet or database, and as a programmer, the thought of having to enter day manually seems wrong somehow. So the obvious next step … Continue reading
Eye-Fi — easy Arduino internet access?
The Arduino has multiple ways to get online, from ethernet shields to ones with built-in RJ45 jacks. Then there’s all the Xbee / Bluetooth type stuff or even the USB-to-serial bridge, if you are OK involving a PC. But “easy” … Continue reading

Don’t let this happen to you
The world never looks quite the same once you’ve started using Arduino. … but you could change from “whip” to “puree” from your computer! Change speeds based on how mixed up the contents look… no, stop. 🙂
RFID and other proximity sensing
So, I finally got the RFID kit (originally purchased at Maker Faire 2010) working. The original kit came with an RFID tag incompatible with the reader. This is why I hate buying things from MakerShed. I am interested in experimenting … Continue reading
