[Arduino] Multitasking example clock

by | Feb 8, 2016 | Arduino

Multitasking example clock Instead of using the delay() function we use the millis() to find the right point in time to trigger the next steps. The idea is to have four thing to display: a display for the 1/100s of a second we use a filling circle, which alternates...

Clap Trap for Arduino

by | Jan 11, 2016 | Arduino

I hacked a little sound trapping setup with a spark fun microphone and a LED on the Arduino Uno. Connect the LED to GND and Pin 13. And the microphone VCC to 5V, GND and the AUD to A0. The program triggers when a +/- threshold from the average is peaking. Have fun,...

[Weatherstation] Part II — the hardware

by | Jan 5, 2015 | Arduino

This is part II of the weather station. Part I shows the LaTeX code for the scales. Part III talks about the arduino code. This the step by step build-up. You need to get at teabag containment, I got a wooden one, which has four compartments. I used thin plywood and...

BubbleSort vs. HeapSort on BlinkyTape

by | Dec 31, 2014 | Arduino, Mac

How to visually show the speed difference between BubbleSort and HeapSort? I used the BlinkyTape and implemented it in Processing (aka Java) with the help from BlinkyTape library. The 60 LEDs where stored in an ArrayList of the class, which contains the position on...
