Nerds Unite: Prosthetics Inspired by Comics and Beyond!

Open Bionics is a company creating prosthetics inspired by heroines, heroes and the fictional worlds they live in. The designs emblazoned on their first set of bionic hands include ones drawn from Queen Elsa from Disney’s Frozen, and Marvel’s Iron Man. The best thing about what they are doing is they offer you, dear reader, a chance to lend your own super powers of design and engineering.  Open Bionics offers up 3D print files for several hand designs, hardware schematics and design files for their controller boards, firmware, and software to control the robotic hands with. Other than their website, …read more http://pje.fyi/QK2v5y

What’s the Best Way to Learn Electronics?

What’s the best way to learn electronics? It’s a pithy question to ask a Hackaday audience, most of whom are at least conversant in the field already. Those who already have learned often have just their own perspective to draw upon—how they themselves learned. Some of you may have taught others. I want to explore what works and what doesn’t. Hobbyists Learn Differently Than Students One thing I can say straight off is that students learn differently than people who learn at home. Hobbyists have the advantage of actually being interested, which is a quality a student may not enjoy. …read more http://pje.fyi/PnVjjX

China Arduino Nachbau (CH340 Treiber)

Falls Ihr wie ich ein günstiges Arduino Nano Clone von Aliexpress bestellt habt ist die Chance sehr hoch, dass ihr ein Board mit dem günstigen CH340 USB to Serial Chip bekommt. Er kann sich auf der Oberseite (wie im Bild) bzw. auf der Unterseite der Platine befinden.

Einfach gesagt: gekauft von einer chinesischen Webseite benötigt man einen chinesische Treiber für den Chip. Den Treiber findet ihr hier. Den Treiber runterladen, entpacken und dann für x86 für 32Bit Windows btw x64 für 64Bit Windows installieren. Vielleicht müsst ihr den Computer noch neustarten damit der Treiber funktioniert. Nach der Installation sollte nach dem Anstecken des Arduino Clones ein Serialport Jetzt sollte der CH340 USB to Serial Chip funktionieren und ihr könnt das Board ganz normaldie Arduino IDE verwenden.

Brute force robot cracks combination locks

Brute force robot cracks combination locks

Samy Kamkar recently published the blueprints and software code for a 3D-printable Arduinio-powered combination lock-opening robot.

Dubbed “Combo Breaker,” the ‘bot is capable of opening combination locks in under five minutes, although the cracking process can be reduced to just 30 seconds by determining the first number that offers resistance.

“The machine pretty much brute-forces the lock for…

Physical Computing - Arudino Update

Been checking out a few of the site below to gain some inspiration for my final physical computing project.

http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Projects/

http://www.instructables.com/id/Led-Cube-8x8x8/

http://playground.arduino.cc/Projects/Ideas

I liked the idea of the 3D LED cube for a project and feel like I would far more enjoy doing a project similar to this and create something with a really cool visual display and possibly adding some elements of sound to it such as a tempo with the addition of isolated instruments. Just and idea. Another idea I also had was to create a small keepsafe box that had a remote unlocking button /device that could send a signal to a small locking mechanism that could have a red/green - locked/unlocked display and possbily and unlocking sound in order to meet the criteria of the assignment. Just throwing ideas around at the moment and I play to prpoerly get started on this project ASAP.

Funny Arduinio

Lee 一張小小的裝置，我地只要寫上一d簡單的語言就可以用佢黎控制軟體或連接硬件做出互動作品。而且基於開放原始碼，我地可以免費下載使用開發出更多令人驚豔的互動作品。

係咪好有趣，mark低佢，有時間就試下玩 =p

MDB - 9 bit serial research

I've done some reasearch on arduino, atmel and 9 bit serial. Again my goal is to stay as much in the Open Source toolchain as possible so that I don't have to support any more than I have to, and so my result is as standardized as possible:

The arduino serial can not handle 9 bit transactions. :(

Atmel, however does support it. "1 start bit • 5,6,7,8,or9databits • no, even or odd parity bit • 1or2stopbits"

Looking at the existing Atmel serial library it is sadly hardcoded to 8 bits.

Theres a bitbang serial library for arduino called New Soft Serial.  It does not do 9 bit either :(.  It seems like it would be not too terribly difficult to alter that code though.

So my options are

a fresh atmel library, which arduino people wouldn't look at.

A fresh arduino hardware or software serial implementation which I may be able to get upstreamed to them,

altering the existing NSS product and attempting to get that upstreamed. 

For now I choose altering NSS as it will be the least path of resistance.  Here goes nothing.
