Sharp IR on Arduino, color feedback
2008-06-03 23:56:50
TheOther1 writes:I bought a Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F Distance Sensor to use in my robot. It was very easy to see the data returned in a serial console window, but I thought it would be cool to see the distance in zones represented by colors from a tricolor LED. Then you would not need to be connected [...]

Serial LCD Interface
2008-06-01 00:50:03
One of the first things people want to interface to a design is an LCD display, both to help with debugging their programs and as a way to provide results to the outside world. Unfortunately LCD’s require both a lot of I/O lines (7 at best) and require precise timing and command structure that sometimes are [...]

A 16×16 LED Matrix
2008-06-08 22:21:26
John writes:I read some articles on LED arrays. They described using arrays of 64 or more LEDs as crude oscilloscopes and other interesting things. I decided I’d make one myself - a really big array, 256 LEDs arranged as 16 columns by 16 rows. In 1983, while I was in my final semester of electronics [...]

Controller for the Compass 315M-100 DPSS laser head
2008-06-08 22:16:23
The Coherent Compass 315M-100 is a small and sweet DPSS laser head that is relatively cheap to get on the surplus market and ebay and offers approx 100mW of single mode output at 532nm. Running single longitudinal mode is crucial for holography and this sets the head apart from generic DPSS lasers, like tuned-up laser [...]

Lightning Trigger for a Camera
2008-06-13 01:30:17
This is a relatively simple approach to lightning photography using a trusty blueboard. The circuit I used to detect the light from the lightning was a very simple circuit that looked like the above circuit diagram. I used a cheap infrared photo transistor because that’s what Radio Shack had. I noticed that the sun, my house [...]
