random thoughts and ramblings
A while back a wrote up instructions on how to program an Arduino with an AVRISP mkII. Back then the current software for the Arduino IDE was set at 0022 and it required you to modify a file to get it work. Apparently enough people wanted a feature like that to come built into the [...]
Have an AVRISP mkII that you want to use to program your Arduino Uno and still use the Arduino IDE? Well this post will show you how.This post assumes you have an Arduino Uno, running Windows XP, and have the latest IDE software (version 0022 as of this post). The main reason I wanted to [...]
Enjoyed the post about my Arduino based digital thermometer? Today I’m going back to the basics. I’ll outline from start to finish how to get your first sketch up and running on an Arduino Uno using a Mac. This post assumes you’ve already ordered an Arduino Uno and you have it sitting in front of [...]
After playing around with my Arduino and learning how to blink LEDs, display stuff on an LCD and reading temperature I decided to build a home made DIY digital thermometer. So this is what I came up with. It shows temps in both fahrenheit and celsius and updates the temp every second. This thermometer is [...]
This is a pretty neat gadget. Shows time by playing pong! It’s pretty cool how the scoring is actually the time that is being displayed. For example, when it changes is when you’ll see one of the sides score a point. I may have to pick up the kit for this so I can build [...]
