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...

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....

First custom PCB

This is my first working printed circuit board. I used the toner transfer method to draw the traces on the copper board. The purpose of this circuit board is to drive a stepper motor. This is a proof of concept for the final board version that will complete my equatorial mount project. The equatorial mount...

Keypad & LCD Display

While I was still trying to figure out what to do these 10 keypads, I received an LCD Display I ordered on eBay. It’s friday, I have no better idea than plug them both on an Arduino and  code something. I started from the circuit of the Keypad article and moved the wires connected...

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...

Twitter Controlled Robot

I presented this project at the 28th Montréal Python meeting. I posted the slides of the presentation in my previous post here. The objective of this project was to demonstrate the use of  pyserial and XBee to wirelessly control a robot. This project was also my first attempt at using the Tweepy library. The...
