I have always been a burger fanatic! After spending three months in the United States, I decided to start my own side project where I will write a small review of all great burger places I have been to. (Can’t wait to go to Australia and try kangaroo burger).

This is an old project that I found on my computer and decided to share with you guys. It’s that famous line following robot, made the simplest way possible, using only basic components such as LM358 OpAmp, LDR, Resistors and Transistors.
The LM358 comes with two Operational Amplifiers and I used it as comparator to make the robot stay on the right path.
During the past few days I have been playing with ProtoStack’s Atmega32A Dev Board and have been very happy with it. Along with the Atmega(8/16/328) dev kit, so far it’s one of my favorite boards.
It comes with everything you need in order to have it going , the big IC-ATMEGA32A-PU µC, 10-pin connector (you can also use a 6-pin ICSP header), capacitors, resistors, voltage regulator for an external power supply and more… You can check the complete list and manual here.
If you are looking for an Atmega32A Dev Board, I would recommend this one for sure!
This work presents an urban intervention using interactive technology. Located within a pedestrian and small vehicles tunnel below a busy road, that connects two parts of the Federal University of Santa Catarina Campus, the intervention creates a new relationship between tunnel and road. It operates as a displacement, transposing the sound of the traffic above to the pedestrians below. A sound sensor captures the sound of cars on the road and transmits a signal to the Arduino board, bringing a sense of chaos into the tunnel from above. The installation was developed as part of the discipline of Interactive Technologies and Creative Processes of the Architecture and Urbanism department at UFSC.
This is the final project from an architecture class project that I helped with.

Ten years ago, when I was living in Finland, I signed up for my first Flickr account (thanks Cemre for the invitation). Today I decided to build a photo gallery using Flick’s API and Miro’s Justified Gallery.
You can check the gallery working here.
I released this code on Github, so you can fork it, use it and submit patches.
December 15th 2013, 7 AM, me and my beloved started a 35 day car journey to the end of the world. From Florianópolis, Brazil to a city called Ushuaia situated at the very tip of Argentina, the last city in South America before Antarctica.
We drove a total of 13500 km or 8400 miles, the same distance from New York to California and back in our Peugeot 307 which we called “Poverello,” on every kind of road imaginable.
After this amazing trip, we decided to build a website to share our experience. We hope that it is useful to future adventurers…
