2018-09-01 Stop Plagiarizing And Be Self-sufficient

From FB group Arduino projects, 2018-09-01 Attilio Volpe This group is moderated and if you cause problems, you can be banned. But on Usenet newsgroups, where all this ‘social media’ stuff started decades ago, the groups were not moderated. If you made a mistake, you had hundreds of replies telling you to Shut the F***

2018-06-20 Don’t Ask To Share Software!

From FB group Arduino Projects Marcos Tulio Junior I think it is unethical for others to expect the coder to reveal his IP (intellectual property). There is nothing wrong with asking the coder for a link to open source software. But you are out of line when you expect others to do for you what

2017-09-19 Giant ‘Analog Meter’ For Clock Display 

FB comment “Brilliant!” Preet Sangha said, and I agree, but since I have a hard time seeing small meters across the room, I thought up another, bigger meter.  How about this? Instead of meters, use a printout of a meter face, full page size.  There will be one for each hour, minute and second.  These

2017-09-10 How Long Can An Arduino Circuit Last?

My answer to a FB Arduino group question on Sept 17 Dan Rogers has the right idea.  The protoboard, with all the holes in it, was never meant to be permanent.  The contacts in each hole lose their springiness as they are used to hold wires.  The contacts can become intermittent after awhile.  As time

2017-09-01 Automated Gallows – Arduino 

Suggestion for project on FB group Arduino Projects – Sept 17 Automated Gallows! A motorized winch adjusts noose. Asks for three officials to each press confirmation button. Has an emergency abort button. Counts down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Pulls the trapdoor latch! Monitors heartrate until no sign for 5 minutes Lights up sign “Execution

2017-08-06 Seeing Digital Signals

From FB post about Arduino driving a ‘HC595 chip. You don’t need an oscilloscope to see digital signals.  If you slow down the speed, you can see what’s happening by looking at LEDs.  Everything is digital, just on or off. Plug two red LEDs, transistors, and current limiting resistors for LEDs (330 ohms), and for

2017-07-12 It Worked!  Arduino Pro Mini Programmed

This homemade PS is smaller than an ATX PS, but the best thing is it’s quieter, because no fan is runningThis homemade PS is smaller than an ATX PS, but the best thing is it’s quieter, because no fan is running.
