Infrared Proximity Sensor – Sharp 2Y0A710 At this point I see everyone is looking at proximity sensors, I’m particularly looking at this type of sensors to measure proximity of an object, to increase voltage on a circuit, to change the … Continue reading →

Finding a using the best sensors for a project seems like it can be a bit challenging.  In order to do so I think it very important to make sure you understand exactly what you want to accomplish.  After all … Continue reading →

The sensor I wanna use is most specifically the Leap Motion Sensor technology. Product Dimensions: 0.5 x 3 x 1.2 inches ; 1.6 ounces Shipping Weight: 2 pounds ASIN: B00E3CP9UM Item model number: LM-010 Throughout most of this week I … Continue reading →

Mission:  Equip a Pententiometer (Sensor) to an Arduino board and test the output of voltage to the computer and the board itself. Then, attach an LED light to the Arduino board and manually adjust the brightness with the Potentiometer. Materials: … Continue reading →

I, too, have been fascinated with the 3D LED cubes. They look very cool cool visually, but…. they’re lacking somewhat in interactivity. You look at them, but you don’t touch them (perhaps for fear that they’ll collapse). But taking a … Continue reading →

Tesla famously said: The enigmatic genius with whom I share a common birthplace (the former Yugoslavia) ushered in the electrical era and revolutionized many aspects of modern day life, including radio (usually credited to Marconi but actually derived from Tesla’s … Continue reading →

I’ve been browsing in the web for something doable and practical, using Arduino. There’s thousands of projects, but so far what really catches my eyes are the LED displays that have been built using the Arduino. I’m focused on Installation … Continue reading →

Well, the most underlying thread for me ever since I started learning about Arduino has been about Arduino Servo’s. For me as a beginner, it is like a beacon of hope and achievement because it lets you know that what … Continue reading →

Week 3 Journal Entry An ugly truth. When Professor Baker told us to learn and write more about the technology we started with last week I didn’t anticipate a problem, after all I choose two projects I am genuinely interested … Continue reading →
