My New Base4 Clock In Action
Hacking The Fibonacci Clock
Many people write me asking if it would be possible to add/modify the clock color palettes or change the lamp mode display. Of course it is possible, it’s open source! OK but, what does it mean for a clock to be open source? Why would you care? The short answer is, being open source...
The Fibonacci Clock In The Classroom
Here is an awesome story from England involving my Fibonacci Clock project. A few days ago I received a message from Mr. Elliot Malkin, a mathematics teacher at Churchill Academy & Sixth Form in Bristol UK . He decided to offer his 13 years old students some questions regarding the clock. They had to watch the videos, read about...
Fibonacci Clock on Kickstarter
UPDATE: The Fibonacci Clock is now live on Kickstarter! I have 30 days to fund this project … head up to Kickstarter to support me! I present to you the Fibonacci Clock, a clock for nerds with style. Beautiful and fun at the same time, the clock uses the famous Fibonacci sequence to display...
Making a Fibonacci Clock
Soon I will launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund the Fibonacci Clock project. This clock uses the Fibonacci sequence to display time using a colored tiling representation of the number sequence. The following video is the making of the clock, from woodworking to electronics. All the code and schematics will be published under the...
Wobbly Circles – CNC project
I just finished building a CNC kit from Shapeoko and started cutting stuff. I needed a simple project that would be a bit more challenging than engraving my name on a piece of scrap wood. I decided to give a try to the Wobbly Circle presented by Matt Parker on the Numberphile Youtube channel....
Score Display Box
A few years back I built a Quiz Buzzer System for my mother. She loves it but she is still keeping track of scores using a pencil and a piece of paper. I decided to fix that using an Adafruit Trinket microcontroller board, a 4 digits 7 segments display and two arcade style buttons. You...
Motion Detector Box
The initial goal for this project was to build a project enclosure out of wood. I initially had no idea what project I would do with it. I designed the dimensions so that an Arduino could fit inside the box and allow for some space on top for a shield, some sensors and buttons....
The hack a day effect
On November 24th of this year I published an article on my blog on how to build an RGB lamp controlled by RFID tags. I first announced the post on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Because of my very limited number of contacts in these social medias, the effect was unnoticeable. I then published the...
RGB Lamp Controlled by RFID Tags Built As An Arduino Shield
Making the Scary Monkey project with my son has been a lot of fun so I decided to make another project for the kids. I built an interactive RGB lamp. The lamp has no switch and no dimmer, it’s entirely controlled with radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. The RFID reader is hidden in the...
