New York-based maker and recent Cornell electrical engineering graduate Jeremy Blum built a glowing LED cap for his graduation. The colors are crowdsourced via a website and controlled from a Raspberry Pi that Jeremy wears on his wrist.
Andrew Dawes is teaching our new Training Camp: Introduction to Arduino. By day, Andy is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Pacific University, where he leads a group of undergraduate research students in several fields of physics: atom cooling and trapping, pattern-forming nonlinear optics, slow- and fast-light, and the application of optical systems to quantum information science (I’m sure he will translate that in the Camp). By night, he builds robots, teaches himself 3-D printing and is a proud father of three.
Bored of your favorite Twitter client ? No problem, here’s the solution ! In this post we are going to explain how to control the awesome WowWee Robosapien with a wirelessly connected Arduino to trigger some actions on the robot through a specific Twitter hashtag.
Another cool wearables project from Adafruit Director of Wearable Electronics and MAKE alum Becky Stern. In this design, Becky is showing off the capabilities of Adafruit’s FLORA wearable color sensor. She’s sewn it into a circuit with a FLORA microcontroller and 12 FLORA RGB LEDs, on a ruffled scarf designed to diffuse the light and give a softer effect.
One of the projects to be featured at NYC Resistor’s 4th Annual Interactive Show is this cool vector display Twitter client, which scans for tweets with the word “I” in it and displays them on an oscilloscope. It’s a little known fact that during the 1940′s the premier Twitter client was a cathode ray oscillograph […]
