This wasn’t so much a useful project as it was an experiment with some technologies I’ve wanted to play with. Capacitive Touch sensing LED Multiplexing PCB Art I thought I could combine them to make a stylized Turkish “Evil Eye.” It would: Sense when you […]
This project was a prototype replacement for the transmitter on my long distance pico balloons (link). The pico balloon flight computer uses APRS which: Takes 5 seconds for each location transmission Has a range of 150 miles The duration is good. Short messages […]
I set out to take photographs at an altitude where I could see the curvature of the Earth. The premise: Float a balloon to an altitude where you can see Earth curvature Have a camera rig suspended below it, taking pictures continuously Computer system […]
I wanted to make a PCB with some nice lights on it to flash and be animated, so I looked into how to do it. The LEDs would be driven by a microcontroller and all powered externally. Technologies PCB Layout software (Eagle) AVR Atmega328P […]
