This year my daughter has a keyboard playing in the school. We have a Yamaha keyboard at home. As the rehearsals progressed during the school year a need for a sustain pedal occurred. I have checked what is offered on the Internet and found out that there are different kinds of sustain pedals. Their design could be very different, but...
This is my son's new achievement on the way of i-products restoration.
Done by my son. Because of the big surface of the glass the replacement was very difficult and time consuming. But not impossible (-:
Among the other free time activities I love, is the kite design and its flying. I usually use natural materials only. For example when I need ribs for the sceleton of my kite, I simply go to the forest and take some old and dry stems from a shrub I know. One day I have desided to do my hight...
This project was started with one main purpose - to meet certain technical specifications, required by my son. The purpose is using the electronic parts we have at home and to build a precisely working digital wall clock. Because I am going to use a microcontroller, I could add some extra features as some "animations", temperature measuring,...
This is a project using PICAXE-14M2 processor. The original purpose was to build a very bright Christmas decoration for a window. This decoration must be seen from about 200 m or more. Using different source codes, you can have a big variation of lighting effects - from the easiest to the very complicated. This is a good HW for check...
One day, when I was preparing my diving equipment, I found out that my GoProHERO3 camera case is not 100% tight. Unfortunately, even though the camera itself is super, its plastic case is more or less a garbage. After a year use, the case's lock cracked. It took a little more time and the case's hinge cracked too. So, I...
The purpose of this project was a robotic arm controlled by 555 IC. Sometimes it is possible to avoid microcontroller.
This project uses the special features of the PICAXE microcontrollers to communicate through IR beems. They use a standard communication protocol, used for TV.
