The iBass (intro)
by Gregg on May.28, 2010, under diy
The prebuild process has been completed, the design is planned out and all coding/prototyping is complete. It will work as an attachment for the isnare. It’s casing will be of course in an altoids tin. It will be using the same technology as touch lamps.
If you are wondering how this works, touch lamps use a component called touch capacitive sensor, which it uses very little electricity to check the capacity of whatever is roughing it is. Imaging a sink turning a faucet on, when it is turned on it is streaming directly onto the bottom on the sink, this is just like a touch circuit when nothing is touching it. But say we put a cut underneth the faucet and now It begins to fill up, an nothing is touching the bottom. This is just like a touch circuit when it is being used. It works simply by testing to see if capacity has changed and this is the technology the iBass is using. Check back for the finished iBass and the build process. Until then keep rocking your isnare and send and solos in if you got something good.
Glowing jewlrey box gift

This weekend my ex’s gf’s birthday was coming up and I wanted to personally make her a present. The first thing I did was go to the craft store and got a wooden box, after that I gut the top apart and got the dimensions of the hole I made. Next I went to home depot and got a sheet of plexiglass to match it’s dimensions. After all the hardware was finished next was my favorite part, the programming. I wired up 6 jumbo red LEDs to the arduino and put a fade program on the arduino.
