Blogeeepc learnings
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008Well I’ve had Asus eeePC for several weeks now (maybe even a month). I thought it was about time to share what I’ve learnt so far:
Increase storage - the 2G Surf (700) only comes with a 2GB SSD, which has 300MB free space left out of the box. So the first major thing I did […]
Arduino: bathroom (night)light prototype mobile edition
Saturday, February 9th, 2008I finally acquired a battery pack, DC main connector and a few crocodile clips to make the prototype portable. I opted for a 4 AA battery pack, because I heard/read somewhere that the 9V batteries don’t last very long, where as the 6 volts my battery pack spit out will last longer. Not sure where […]
Arduino and Processing serial interaction
Monday, February 4th, 2008This is more of a reminder for me, when trying to turn Arduino inputs into something that is usable by Processing (a nice language to visualise data quickly, which is also what Arduino IDE is based on). The following Arduino code, reads input from an Light Dependent Resistor and sends the value out via […]
Arduino: bathroom light prototype
Sunday, February 3rd, 2008This is one of my first “useful” projects i.e. has a practical use. Our bathroom light triggers a fan (we don’t have any windows) when turned on, which is fine until you have to pay a nocturnal visit…
Cue the gentle bathroom night light project!
And before I get the comments, yes yes I know I could […]
Arduino: 4 button piezo synth (failed)
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008I had to give up on this project, I could get the LEDs to light up, but the most I could get out of the piezo speaker was faint clicks… The piezo was working cause this bit of code worked when it was just rigged up to power and the output pin.
