Sharing Strange Ideas
This Arduino based gaming platform is rather intended for children, teenagers or adults with mental limitations. https://youtu.be/p7KceTKOyhQ A short presentation video I actually developed and built this game for our son Scott. But I put everything online on Hackster.io so that everyone who needs it, can benefit from it. The material was also selected so … Continue reading LED Gaming Platform For People With Special Needs.
I saw these sunset lamps on the internet. They create a round circle of warm coloured light on the wall and are also used in photography. Of course you can just buy one, but then where would the learning and fun be? As you can see you can light up a wall or set an … Continue reading Colourful Spotlights
Tried something.I wanted to power a 1 Watt Led chip, but I didn't have a Led driver or a constant current source at hand.So I thought that a constant voltage source could also do the job.I used a Dc-Dc stepdown converter MP1584EN which can regulate 4.5V-28V down to 0.8V-20V.It works perfectly and is still better … Continue reading DC-DC Module To Power A 1W LED
https://youtu.be/EadT8evTwEg Hello Makers, There are lots of illuminated picture frames to buy or to make yourself, but they all have the same disadvantage. If they are operated via a power supply unit, they will rarely make it onto a wall, unless you have a great idea to hide the cable. If they are powered by … Continue reading Light on 3D Frame
Since I've been on a bit of a clock trip lately, and these little things are really tiny, I decided to create a test board for these two chips, the Epson RX8900 and the RX8130.Now I have the opportunity to get to know these ICs better 🙂 The Datasheets rx8900ce_1Download rx8130ceDownload The PCB I had … Continue reading RTC Rx8900 And Rx8130 Testboard
https://youtu.be/tjXaxtLVo3o Intro This is my second version of the binary clock. It is square and also uses charlieplexing.This clock uses again the RX8900 from Epson with a +-ppm5 (+- 2,5min error per year).I am also working on version 3.0 :). The Soft and other Files can be found here (https://github.com/awall9999/Binary-Watch-Ver2.0) The Design As you all … Continue reading Binary Watch Ver2.0
Hello, I built another LED lamp and wanted to use a TTP223 capacitive switch as usual. But Led Stripes have 12V and there was my problem again, the available TTP223 boards are 3-5V and have only a small switching current. Besides, I don't need the LED on the board.So I built a prototype with what … Continue reading 5-12V Capacitive Touch Switch
Found this little floor lamp in the trash. After a 10min crash design on the computer and with the help of my laser cutter, it turned out better than I thought. The lampshade is made of 4mm plywood. I sprayed the whole thing black and glued it together. Then I applied a metallic look with … Continue reading New D.I.Y. Lampeshade
Hello,Due to the great demand how I created the dance show at Makerfaire, I am writing this documentation.First of all, the principle was used by John Henry Pepper in 1862 on a stage to make a ghost appear.There are many instructions on the internet on how to use Pepper's ghost effect. Often people talk about … Continue reading Pepper’s Ghost Illusion
Great weekend at the Makerfaire Luxembourg. I met great people. My projects were very well received. The children were thrilled by the arcade game and the eye-catcher, the Holobox, fascinated the adults and the children. https://youtu.be/lCOWykMPdzc The Holobox https://youtu.be/HQPdKviymPI Arduino Led Arcade https://youtube.com/shorts/BWbMm0uD6MQ?feature=share
