someone who's doing some things
The incredible micro-controller board from Italy that’s inspired so many projects and spin offs and that I’ve been trying to master and use for ages.
I went to this talk last night about physical tech. Lots of stuff about Arduinos and prototyping and 3D printing and all of that kind of stuff. I really enjoyed it, especially because the guy giving the talk was so enthusiastic.
The evening did a lot to re-energise me into thinking about making stuff and getting on with some projects, or just having some fun playing with tech.
Yep, it’s time to get back to tinkering with an Arduino again. This time I’m hopeful that I’ll actually get something decent going with it. We’ll see how it goes.
At least something is going as planned.
I love LEDs.
These are some potentiometers I bought for use with my new Arduino Mega ADK. I got the code into the Arduino IDE and then hit trouble. It appears that with version 1.0 of the Arduino IDE a bunch of headers (or something) have been moved and as a result my code won’t work.
It’s a real pain as I was looking forward to getting this stuff working and talking to Android, but it looks like that might take a while longer now. What a shame.
I love oomlout, they’re brilliant and always seem to have good solutions for DIY stuff. If you don’t know them, then take a look, it’s worth it if you do any electronics stuff with Arduinos and the like.
I sat on the fence about getting one of these for a while, but I eventually decided that I’d love to play with Arduino and Android and Processing all together. So expect some more semi-mobile geekery in due course.
