A follow up from our how-to use a multimeter video… Here’s a resister calc dashboard widget for Mac OS X – “Resistulator – A resistor calculator. It calculates the value of a resistor from the sequence of colored bands painted on the resistor. It also displays the corresponding color sequence when a resistor value is […]
Mike writes – “MiniMechadon was designed/constructed from Nov ’02 to Dec ’03. Currently, the mechanics and electrical hardware are complete. I have written some test code to exercise the servos and demonstrate the flexibility of the robot and for basic walking. The main goal of the project is to experiment with learning algorithms that will […]
Here’s a neat weather station from some students @ the Oregon Institute of Technology – “The Remote Weather Station (RWS) is a computerized weather monitoring system using MINI-MAX/51-C micro-controller board from BiPOM Electronics and various sensors. RWS consists of two separate modules ( display module and weather module ) that are wirelessly linked together. RWS […]
