Show ideas

e14 Contributor

Heya y'all,

 

Just a few ideas for TBHS that I need to release the kraken on:

- LCD panel salvage - panel is good, maybe it can be used for something else?

- Arduino device addressing - having multiple sensors that are addressed through arduino so they can be identified and sensor details shown.

 

That's al I have.

 

LOve the show, wish it was longer.

  • Fish feeder: A friend of mine is building something like that, perhaps we could use his ideas on a later episode. It even has a web server and sonar to detect water levels!

     

    Laser stencil cutter: I agree it would be easier to just build a 2 axis machine from scratch. But yes, some sort of mill or device to help with PCB creation could be very cool!

     

    Re-using old LCD. I assume you mean from a laptop? While it's possible, the effort required is greater than the cost of just buying a $150 LCD from Best Buy or Tiger Direct.

     

    Arduino Device Addressing: To connect multiple sensors on a single bus, look into I2C. (google it) It is an interface protocol that, while not incredibly fast, is very common, has libraries written, and you can connect up to 64 devices on a single 2 line bus (clock and data)
