Finally it’s here, my first Open Hardware project, in which I have delayed some years to release due my lack of time to finish it and make it presentable.

For this project I’ve created a Project Page, in which I will be updating in a regular basis.

So I want to invite you to take a look at the
OPEN HARDWARE MOODLAMP PROJECT PAGE.

bookmark_borderOpen Source Hardware Association

Just want to share this cool Association that is being created:

The Open Source Hardware Association is Coming Soon! It will be a non-profit organization (status pending) working to spread the love of open source hardware. We’re working out details, and as soon as we know, you’ll know! Check back at oshwa.org for upcoming news.

They are asking people to fill a survey so they can know which path follow to make the association. You can help them by filling it here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/OSHW

bookmark_borderLiving in Italy

Hi there guys! Long time no see!

Well, since last September I’ve been living in Italy, I guess that’s the reason why I haven’t updated the website in a while, but I will make up to you, good things to come!!!

I moved to Milan on 16th of September 2011 for a “Erasmus” Program (it’s a exchange program, but here, saying Erasmus is easy to make people understand) at the Politecnico di Milano, which is one of the biggest universities in the fields of Engineering of Italy.

bookmark_borderArduino in HighDef Macro Pictures


Today I was having fun with a MacroLenses and decided to take some pictures of my Arduino Uno board, I got quite happy with the results that I am using them as wallpaper, and I decided to share with you.

You can find the original file ≈ 15mb, also 1920×1200, 1680×1050 and 1280×800.

bookmark_borderDotklok + LM35 Temperature Sensor

I got my Dotklok up and running some days ago, I am really enjoying it on my room.
But I want to do more with it. Too bad right now I don’t have much time to play with electronics and build cool things.

Anyway, today I decided to spend some time learning the Dotklok’s code and add a temperature sensor to it. The result was really cool, and now I am sharing the bit of code I added to the clock.

bookmark_borderArduino + Sound Sensor

I got a sound sensor on Ebay some days ago, and decided to give it a try!
Really simple, just made a code to light up the led when the volume was higher than the ambient sound.

Just for fun! 😉

As many people have asked, here goes the code:

Remember that there are many other ways of doing this, for example using the PWM function along with analogRead() and map().
