Cheap Keypad and Arduino

Cheap Keypad and Arduino

I just received a package of 10 flexible keypads I bought on eBay for 15.88$, shipping included. Having a keypad in your project opens so many possibilities, at 1.59$ each I think it’s a deal! I found a keypad library for Arduino on the Arduino Playground. I made some minor modifications to the sample...

Playing With The Beaglebone

I just received my Beaglebone and started experimenting with it. The Beaglebone is a low cost, single board Linux computer with tons of IOs to interface with the physical world. My objective is to make a Python Robot using the Beaglebone as the brain and my Makerbot to build the frame. I found an...

Atmega328 Vcc pin

A basic Arduino clone

Parametric Arduino Case

Parametric Arduino Case

When you make a project using an Arduino board, you often need a case to attach the Arduino onto your project. This small project is my first attempt to make such a case that can be adapted to all my projects. To make it parametric I am using the OpenScad application. OpenScad is an...
