Continuum is a light art display that is continuously in motion, with options to move quickly, slowly, or incredibly slow. The RGB LEDs in the display are updated 240 times per second, with unique colors calculated each update. A slider on the side of the display controls if the LEDs play back the content – currently Animated GIFs – in realtime, 1000x slower than realtime, or anywhere in-between.
During the preparation of this year FabJam, Luciano Betoldi, the FabCar coordinator from Barcelona, announced a great project: “In collaboration with HP, OpenSourceVehicle and 5 other FabLabs around the world (Garagem FabLab (SP. Brasil), FabLab San Diego, FabCafe Tokyo, FaLab Manchester and Vigyam Ashram in India) FabLab Barcelona is setting out to design a concept car…
In this tutorial, we are going to learn how the seven-segment displays work. We will then discuss the interfacing of the 7 segment display with the Arduino Uno. More info Build it yourself Boards, sensors and kits for projects like this one. Browse the shop
While some people love that the Raspberry Pi can help them build an awesomely far-fetched device that’s perfect for showing off (but sits on a shelf after the build), others would prefer to make devices that they can use every day. In this article, we’ll discuss some things you can make out of a…
zeeSoc campaign on Indiegogo is started few days ago and is near to 50% funding. The solution proposed helps anyone who wants to build its own SoC board, from only $35. Here is the description on Indiegogo: The zeeSoC is a cross between a micro-controller, FPGA and precision analog chips. It contains a 80MHz ARM…
This project consists of an interface window where we can control up to 8 dimmable lamps and create any effect with them without having to reprogram the Arduino. This can be useful, for example, to create the lighting of a mini disco. It is possible to have a lamp flashing while another is fading…
