In May I moved into a new office with the great guys of The Future of Everything. The office has really nice big windows and we thought about what we could do with them. I remembered hektor, this super cool 2D drawing machine. What if that thing could draw directly onto the window?
So, here is [...]

TweetsOfWaste in Weave
January 23rd, 2011 · No Comments · Arduino
A couple of months ago Martin came up with the idea to build a dustbin, that would take pictures of people using it and then send them to Twitter. We tried some different approaches and finally used an Arduino, a WiFly-shield and a c328 serial camera to build it. It worked really well and was [...]

Palo Altonale Workshop
November 20th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Arduino
End of October, Marcus and I gave a two day workshop on sensors, Internet of Things and Arduino. It was for people who had small to no knowledge about electronics and programming, so not for the average geek. The aim was to show how easy it is to build things that interact with the physical [...]

TwitBalloon
September 13th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Arduino
Last weekend, Marcus of interactive-matter and I, gave a small introduction into internet of things and ambient devices at the Good School. The idea was to have two devices that show the current volume of two terms on twitter, e.g. love against hate. The demo should show how easy it is to connect the physical [...]

Mega328 Header Kit
March 11th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Arduino, avr
It took a while since I first posted about the new ATmega header board but finally, here it is.
The board is great for prototyping on a solderless breadboard. It is compatible with the common 28-pin AVR controllers like ATmega48, ATmega88, ATmega168 and ATmega328. On plus it is Arduino compatible.
Some of the features:
Space efficient, occupies only [...]

Remote Accelerometer
February 7th, 2010 · 20 Comments · Arduino
What is a remote accelerometer? It’s a tiny device that has a three axis accelerometer and transmit the acceleration values to a remote host. And what is it good for? There are various uses for it. One is you attach the sensor to someone and let him jump around. On your remote machine you can [...]
Palo Altona – Tinker drinkup in Hamburg
January 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Arduino
If you’ve missed Marcus post, here is another on the same topic.
Nearly every other Thursday Marcus and I are hanging out together for having a beer and chatting about all things geek, especially electronics, CNC, 3D-printing, micrcontroller and Arduino. But there’s no limit, everyone interested in tinkering and making is welcome. It takes place at [...]

A retro twitter wall (twypper)
November 20th, 2009 · 11 Comments · Arduino
A couple of weeks ago Jan came to me and asked me if I could build a special kind of twitter wall. At our company CoreMedia we do an Open Space every 3 months or so. This time we had a Hacking Day as well, so we needed something special. After throwing some ideas around, [...]

Arduino introduction in c’t
July 21st, 2009 · 11 Comments · Arduino
Here is my very first article. It is published in c’t, one of the best known computer magazines in Germany. wOOt!
It shows some basic Arduino examples and how to build a Wiimote-like controller. The controller consists of an 3-axis accelerometer, a push button and an Arduino nano on a breadboard. This combination is used to [...]

Microcontroller cheat sheet
June 18th, 2009 · 22 Comments · Arduino, avr
Often, when I am tinkering with a controller on a breadboard, I have to open up the according datasheet, only to look up the pinout. So I designed a simple page with all of of the pinouts that I use most. It has:
8-pin AVRs, ATtiny25/ATtiny45/ATtiny85
20-pin AVR, ATtiny2313
28-pin AVRs, ATmega48/ATmega88/ATmega168/ATmega328
Arduino to ATmega mapping
ISP header, 6-pin and [...]
