In a previous guide we talked a basic way to build a remote shutter release control for the DSLR cameras and other digital cameras. In this article, we will talk about Photoduino. Photoduino is a shield and a software library to setup Arduino based DSLR camera controller. There is also schematics to develop it yourself. Unfortunately, developer has no longer support for the project. Here is … [Read more...]
Creating Circuits With Wire, Resin (Tikka Kebab Circuit Design)
China invented fire making and of course invented various cheap basic electronic things for DIY works. And a Japanese discovered first version of Tikka Kebab Circuit Design. Here is how to around creating circuits with wire, resin, soldier and no PCB. Our previous ways were designing PCB at home, using wire wrapping with breadboard design perfboard etc. Inventor named the way ""0'baka" means … [Read more...]
Arduino 7 Segment LED Display Temperature Sensor (TM1637 & DHT11)
TM1637 is a great cheap module and we have some introduction to TM1637, and some TM1637 projects like TM1637 clock, traffic light timer with push button, a planned project to make cooking top digital etc. This glowing temperature sensor for air-conditioned car with Arduino 7 Segment LED display & DHT11 sensor makes a practical sense. Later we will add digital speedometer function with … [Read more...]
Create Own ATTiny 85 Arduino Based Wearables
ATTiny 85 is a programable microcontroller which is actually used in the smaller version of Arduino. If you search on Ebay, Amazon you will find that they costs lesser than $2 per piece. It is obvious, we made a list of components for creating bigger Arduino compatible LED watch with $8. Electronics is really cheap. Those official Arduino boards are development boards and not intended for real … [Read more...]
List Of Needed Things For Arduino Wearable & IoT Projects
This is possibly an important guide to get started and protect not to get ripped off with marketing of Wearable & IoT projects. Here is a cost effective list of needed things for Arduino wearable & IoT projects which practical for LilyPad, Gemma, Flora, Yun Mini etc. Of course one need the full setup of DIY electronics for normal development boards starting from breadboard, multimeter to … [Read more...]
Camera Remote Shutter Release Circuit (Basic)
The topic is old and we are not going to reinvent the wheel. We want to introduce readers to basic camera remote shutter release circuit. Not all of the readers and camera owners are aware that we actually can build pro grade remote shutter with Arduino, Raspberry Pi and display. However, basic electronic components can build remote shutter release and for your camera model, it is most important … [Read more...]
Analog Cooktop Knob To Servo Powered Timer (Arduino Powered)
Here is a project idea to convert analog cooktop knob to servo powered timer which is powered by Arduino. We have listed the Hardware components and explained the core matters, closely related projects. This is not a complete project because I lack coding capability with Arduino's library to control so much things. If you can not code yourself, you can ask someone to professionally help to get the … [Read more...]
Fool Doctors Hacked : Medical Device Vulnerabilities
We talked about WannaCry. Medical device vulnerabilities are no way theoretical. Fool doctors hacked is not exactly light matter for patient's data privacy and security of the hospitals. Orthopaedics, Dentistry is working and progressing on technical matters since Hippocrates era but that is not the way problems can be solved. Medical devices, imaging etc has existing IEEE, ISO … [Read more...]
DIY Solar Panel Power Bank : Trial For Home Solar Power
This guide is good before think about setting up home solar power system. Whole earth is quite serious about solar power. Here is DIY Solar Panel Power Bank building instruction & precautions. Most websites on this kind of DIY projects will not say that you can use this for powering DIY projects but not costly cell phone. Commercial good solar panel power bank costs very high, has passed … [Read more...]
Microturbine & Micro Hydro Turbine : Buying & Usage Guide
Possibly you noted that nowadays on Ebay, Amazon Made in China Microturbine and Micro Hydro Turbines are selling as DIY things. As they lack guide, here is a Microturbine Micro Hydro Turbines buying & using guide. The working principle is closer to our bigger DIY project real electricity generating with washing machine motor from flowing water. That project peoples seriously using, … [Read more...]
List of SMD Basic Electronic Components
