Work in progress / proof of concept.

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.

The three wires from the doorbell circuit are soldered to some pins which plug into the Arduino (barely visible here).
You can see the circuit more clearly here.
The hole for the USB lead is a bit of a mess. I used a drill and some wire cutters. I think I could do with a Dremel or something.
The brains of the sensor interface. This board communicates with all of the sensors and then forwards the processed information to the data server via a USB serial connection.
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.
Just trying to find an easier way to manage the connectors for the Arduino board so time to use a breadboard rather than mess about with lots of soldering.
The Arduino was doing a lot less work than I had promised it. I used some standard sample code to read the control potentiometer and send that to the motor controller.
Arduino clone with real-time clock, microSD socket, radio module and USB interface. The layout is designed for easy assembly and maximum compatibility with the Arduino Uno, with additional functionality being compatible with the Arduino Mega2560. The optional LM61 temperature sensor is not fitted, nor is the 5V regulator.
Version 2.1 features a few minor of improvements over version 2; the most significant is the addition of Microchip MCP2200 USB to UART converter.

This is something I had been meaning to complete for quite a while. I needed something that was portable, clean and easy to store random things in to prototype stuff on the fly.
The Proto Desk allows me to sit on the couch with my laptop and arduino and mess around.

An add-on Gilroy’s been toying with for everybody’s favorite Arduino enclosure, this makes it simple to change out a 9V battery when your project needs the base & lid to stay together.
Using Arduino to get the cost of probeware down (for science education).

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.
Finding the traditional USB Arduino a bit too big? This board includes everything the larger board does (except the USB to Serial portion) and does so in 1/6th the space (18 x 33mm). With the reduced size and cost it makes slipping an Arduino into almost anything possible. It also comes with the headers unpopulated letting you either solder in headers (for use in a breadboard) or your own wires directly to the board.
