Serial and pixels for breakfast. Arduino + pygame. 11 Apr 2013 | 01:58 pm

Taking a byte of bits of Serial, along with Green screen with Sam, pygame, and an Arduino hooked up to a light sensor and a motor thing. Coffee too?  Naturally. Where do we begin?  At the end of cou...

Touchless UI with a Light Dependent Resistor, and the Arduino. 9 Apr 2013 | 05:03 pm

Touchless UI?  This is the next step in my little adventure into the world of Arduino... It can sense light, from which the Ardunio reads an analog signal and then drives a Servo Mototor.

Arduino Servo motor, and a Potentiometer 9 Apr 2013 | 04:28 pm

Moving a servo motor(vrmmm vrommm) based on the analog input Linearly interpolated (LERP'd) from the Potentiometer (turny thing).
