There are a bunch of folks here at NYCResistor learning to program the arduino in the arduino 101 class!
Space was limited in my room so I decided long ago to remove my bed and build a lofted setup.
I do a lot of tinkering so I built in a U shaped desk that extends more or less around the full perimeter of my room with lots of space to work on things. My desktop setup lies directly underneath my bed and on the opposite side I have a soldering/electronics station.
I recently underwent a few hardware upgrades for my desktop which include a liquid cooled 6 core, 64 gb RAM custom machine and 3x 27" Achieva Shimian Korean IPS displays. These are mounted to the wall with monitor arms and can be pulled closer to the edge of the table if needed. The setup works really well for my 3d modeling and coding work.
They are also backlit by a RGB LED strip powered by an Arduino R3 and Python based client on the desktop which changes color according to the color on the screens. I find that it helps a lot with eye strain and adds a great ambiance to the room.
Using two 4051 multiplexer ICs I am able to simulate the electric typewriter's keyboard matrix and can control the entire functionality of this machine via the Arduino board.
This example shows the result of a tool that tries to recreate an image with the available letters on the daisy wheel. It types several layers of type over each other and also uses half-letter spacing and half-line feeds to cover more paper with carbon. The principle of this is demonstrated here: incubator.quasimondo.com/DarwinCss.html

Quick proof of concept. Arduino accepting serial communication from Bluetooth Module. Created a bluetooth profile on Mac/OSX and sent data from mac to arduino.
I made an Arduino compatible board last night. Holtek's step-up DCDC converter generates 5v from one AAA battery. Good for stand alone projects.
"Sant' Arduino"
Descrizione: Salendo lungo la strada che da Macerata Feltria conduce verso il monte Carpegna vi è un complesso di fabbricati quasi sospesi su di un dirupo: un campanile senza campane, una chiesa sconsacrata, pochi edifici rustici da alcuni anni completamente abbandonati. E' tutto quello che rimane dell'antico castello e della CHIESA PARROCCHIALE di S. ARDUINO di Pietrarubbia. La dedicazione della chiesa e la denominazione del castello, derivanti entrambe da S. Arduino di Rimini, vissuto fra la fine del 900 e i primi anni del 1000, possono costituire un riscontro significativo intorno alla nascita di questo aggregato medioevale.Con ogni probabilità il castello di S.Arduino fu uno degli originari possedimenti dei Conti di Montefeltro, al pari del vicino nucleo fortificato di Pietrarubbia.La comunità parrocchiale di S.Arduino restò autonoma dal medioevo fino ai giorni nostri.Ciò che ha determinato una accelerazione nel processo di degradamento del contesto ambientale di S. Arduino è stato il mancato rinnovamento del parroco e l'abbandono delle case coloniche da parte delle famiglie di agricoltori che vi abitarono fino a pochi anni dopo (1963). Da allora in poi questo complesso rurale è stato oggetto di incursioni diurne e notturne da parte di predatori di oggetti sacri e profani.

My 3rd generation arduino Lego Controller. This one supplies true DC power out via buck converters (and a couple relays). It also supports 16 automated switches. An Android app can fully control this via bluetooth.
Lego + Arduino
3 modes
- Wait and shoot
- Search and destroy
- Remote via bluetooth
Hand is borrowed from Lego Wall-E.

My newly designed arduino-based flash trigger. I even gave it cool programmable status LEDs (all cool projects need status LEDs :-) ). So far, only a sound-triggered input has been added, but I've left room on the board for other detectors such as beam-break, lightning, etc.
I use this in my Stopping Time set.

A basic circuit for arduino mini. The power connections are to an arduino NG's +5v and ground, powered via USB. The LED connects to pin 13.
This is the same as circuit one but with a reset switch.
If you don't like the annotations, move the mouse cursor away from the image, or click "all sizes".
The reset switch takes the reset pin low. It is pulled up high through the resistor in top left (which goes to +5v) when the switch is not pressed.
Last night I had the pleasure of meeting up with a group of folks with Arlington Camera and attending and helping with a Light Painting Photo Walk they put on! There were people of all ages there! Some with experience, some without! But we ALL had a fantastic time! There was talk about going back and leading an advanced LP class in the future and I was also asked about getting together with a photography club as well! Looking forward to spreading the word about light painting even more!
LET THE LIGHT SHINE!!!! :-)
On another note... A new door opened and another one was closed and that is just the way things are sometimes. I decided yesterday that I was no longer going to be a part of a specific Light Painting group on Flickr due to a few egos running the group and thinking that they can make decisions on who does what with Light Painting and tutorials regarding Light Painting techniques and tools. It is really a shame to see but that is the path they choose and I simply do not agree.
I made this housing for an Arduino Pro that will control my waveguide relay in my 47 GHz radio. This housing is made from 6061 billet aluminum. The cover is held on with a dozen 0-80 screws.
A fully functional GPS receiver with the ability to display the current location, heading, speed, average speed and maximum speed, the distance traveled, the bearing, distance and ETA for a way-point, and the date and time.

Our third Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers went really well. I taught this evening course with co-instructor Donald Day on Thursdays, from June 16 to 30, 2016, at the woodshop in Tam High School in Mill Valley.
We worked with an enthusiastic group of seven students, including adults with diverse backgrounds, as well as a couple high school students. Our partner Geo Monley worked both as a mentor and as a student during the hands-on sessions.
We started the class at 6pm, by giving students an overview of how circuits work. We then learned how to use a multimeter, how to solder electronics, and how to control rainbow-colored NeoPixel lights.
Students seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. Several expressed an interest in taking intermediate and advanced classes in the future. This is one of our first maker courses at Tam Makers, and we’re really happy that it is going so well; we look forward to teaching more classes in the fall.

I am making an Arduino course for hipsters, instead of looking at what you learn, I am going to concentrate in what people think about themselves, establish an indie relationship to the world of electronics, portratit electrons as Emo-children, help the bohemian soul to embrace complex concepts that go beyond drinking wine while listening to Coldplay ... and all of this while only wearing B&W clothes.
This is the agenda for the course that will take place on April 28th at STPLN, in Malmo, Sweden.
Arduino controller with:
-Bluetooth control from Android phone
-Controls Canon A530 Camera
-Vex mobile base
Quick implementation of an inclinometer with a 3 axis accelerometer on Arduino. It's a 3g model, which is a bit of overkill for this application.
I'll combine this with the electronic compass to compensate for inclination AND get an absolute heading measurement. I don't think I'll need the gyros.
I've since combined this with my Arduino-to-RC-Transmitter hack to control two servos remotely based on the inclination of the Arduino. Aim? Head motion tracking to pan a camera remotely.
Arduino key tapper keeps VPN login from timing out. Taps keyboard every 4 minutes. Uses small servo motor to actuate arm that hits shift key.
Acrylic case from Pokono. Other parts/servo from Sparkfun.
There might be better ways of doing this by faking computer that arduino was keyboard or mouse, but this was the easiest. :^)
This one's about red light and movement and we both liked how the red plasma pattern kinda drew your eye across the shot.
I will confess to a bit of the photographer's version of con-crunch. Things have been weird and generally off the rails so I had a bunch of ideas floating around my mind but hadn't really managed to make them happen. I'd been meaning to set up both of my lightpainting staves with a Teensy 4.1 as the brains so I'd have fewer different divergent board versions. But I didn't really get cranking on actually soldering up the new board until a few days before the shoot. But, thankfully, it worked.
Lightpainting details: The Arduino Teensy 4.1 lightpainting staff with a red plasma effect on it, plus some red added in with the gen3piano board to make it all streaky.
