I designed and built a passive infrared trigger for my Canon EOS 5D camera (will work with any camera with a remote shutter release socket) to take pictures when something (an animal) sets off the PIR sensor. This will allow me to set the camera up to automatically capture anythng that moves in front of the sensor. I used a microcontroller to control the camera wake up and shutter release relays. This gives me the ability to control the frequency and number of shots. For the prototype I trigger the wake up relay for 300ms then the shutter release relay for 300ms followed by a 300ms pause before checking the input again to see if there is still movement in front of the PIR sensor. I also put a long delay (1 second) after 5 continuous shots. Depending on results I may replace this long delay with a wait until the PIR is no longer being triggered to prevent too many pictures of one event if the animal stays in range of the PIR sensor for a while. The cool thing is that the camera can go into sleep mode allowing the battery to last for days as the circuit wakes the camera up when movement is detected.
Found this in an old dot matrix printer and I wanted to use it. The pinouts weren't listed but the grouping was suspicious, and I was able to guess this was a nibble wired HD44780 class controller -- I was right!

Hide and go seek with a radio signal, converted to GPS signal, a VHF radio, and a couple of geeky fruit cakes driving around following a giant arrow and you have our Friday night.
USb demo interface board using pic18f4550 Microcontroller
PIC18F4550 allows me to control 8 led’s through my laptop USB port, a small application made on C# can control the glowing of the led’s on board on Mouse clicks. With this project you can Create your own USB control from your laptop computer. An application written in C# on you computer will control few LED's on a Circuit board, the circuit board will connect to your computer via a USB port.

LPC-P2138 by Olimex based on the LPC2138 microcontroller by NXP that is an ARM7TDMI architecture.
This uses the LPC2138/01 revised version of the LPC2138. Namely, this has the "fast GPIO" capability.
My new toy in the lab.
The PmodCLS is a character LCD module driven by the Atmel ATmega48 microcontroller. With a display size of 16x2 characters, users may display any information on the screen by communicating via SPI, I2C, or UART.

The Basic I/O Shield is designed to provide a range of input/output devices suitable for beginners learning about microcontrollers and various types of I/O devices, or for use by more advanced user to provide inputs or outputs for their own projects.
The Basic I/O Shield provides simple digital input devices such as switches and buttons, and digital output devices such as discrete LEDs and high current open FET drivers. It provides more advanced devices such as an I2C EEPROM, an I2C temperature sensor, and organic LED graphic display. A potentiometer is also provided for use as an analog input device.

The vero-board becomes ever more complex as circuits are layered on top of each other in the different coloured wires. This circuit still needs the big power transistors on the left fitting, and some extra circuitry to drive them, so space is premium.
At the moment the software on the PIC microcontroller is causing problems. Assembly programming is not without its challenges.

Jennic is a market leader in ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, IEEE802.15.4 wireless microcontrollers, modules and evaluation kits.
The Network Shield provides a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PHY to allow connection to an Ethernet network. It provides the connectors and load switch to support use of the USB 2.0 OTG controller to implement USB device, USB host or OTG operation. It also provides two CAN transceivers and connectors to allow connection to two independent CAN networks. Connectors are provided to allow connection to two of the I2C busses supported by the Max32.
In addition to the communications features, the Network Shield also adds a 256Kbit I2C EEPROM for non-volatile data storage and a 32.768Khz oscillator to allow use of the Real Time Clock/Calendar (RTCC) peripheral in the PIC32 microcontroller.

The installation uses 2 Arduino microcontrollers as input only devices. Sensor data is received and processed in MaxMsp via the Maxduino patch. LDRs, piezo film sensors and flex sensors are used as both analogue and digital inputs to produce effects.
The purpose of this machine is to inspire our staff to create interesting prototypes from acrylic, Delrin, or anything else we can easily cut in this 75W laser. The laser engraver can cut and etch a variety of materials with consistency and faster productivity. Because it works like a printer and doesn’t require any CAM tools to make tool paths, anybody with a drawing and a dream can use this tool!

I thought it would be fun to have some kind of interactive costume. This was the idea I thought I could get done in time. It was pretty fun to wear. I got a lot of poking and prodding (and who doesn’t like that?) plus won a prize. It was fascinating how many people don’t actually know how to play Simon. A note to some: Simon is not whack-a-mole (maybe next year’s costume…) I was surprised how well the buttons worked since they were made of duct tape, aluminum foil, and strips of fleece. The costume survived an elementary school party, the Dietz’s fabulous party with people of varying degrees of sobriety, and trick or treating.
The features I had to cut in order to be ready were sound and more interesting win, loose, and attract animations. Good scalable project :-).
Hard drive platters panted. Inner surfaces are panted white for better light diffusion. Outer surface of top platter is painted black for better contrast.
This has had a "new coat of paint" to misquote the Rev R.W. Awdry, and a few software revisions since the earlier photos.
Revisions to the Arduino IDE required some tweaking of the code to allow the compiler to run without errors.
I caused the original 60kHz receiver to go faulty inadvertently whist "fault" finding - this had stopped working, but it turned out that the problem that was the Time Code transmitter (MSF itself) was off the air for maintenance.
I replaced it with a different type of module (A "Canaduino" unit from Canada), and have since managed to get the original one working by running it off a much reduced supply voltage. The orignal module is now back in my "test bed" with some supplementary circuitry to allow it to work in that environment.
The UART crossover cable is a 6-inch, 6-pin crossover cable that connects newer UART-interface Pmods (PmodBT) to older microcontroller boards (Cerebot 2, Cerebot 32MX4, etc.). The UART crossover cable also connects older UART-interface Pmods (PmodCLS, PmodRS232, etc.) to newer microcontroller boards.
