Secret Santa sent me a set of security bits.
I also was fortunate enough to get one of the Arduino Limited Edition Uno Minis for placing an Arduino in my Robot Santa project...
Thanks Element14 and Arduino!
Another Element 14 Project submission Time!
Around the various Holidays I enjoy creating little projects that match the theme of that specific Holiday, Spooky around Halloween, Spring/Life around Easter, Hearts/Candy/Love around Valentines, Star Wa...
Nothing is more fun and jovial than a happy Christmas Elf sitting on a gift, waving to you...except watching him lose his head when you catch him being naughty.
The story:
The naughty Elves like to peek inside very personal Christmas gifts.

"What brings you joy"
Well, certainly, I'd say dogs, since they're one of my favorite species.
In specific, corgis.
You gotta admit, they have great smiles.
Oh no I published it.
*smacks my head*
Oh wel...
Hello, It's actually my first time joining a contest here in Element14, let alone doing blogging as well. So the title sounds like a disco thing but here me out. I plan to submit a project that gamifies your moves in a way that can bring a...
This will be my final post for the Holiday Special 20 project. I was able to accomplish much of what I had planned, but failed to get the Christmas music to play from the external flash memory on the QT Py. I'll use this post to describe ...
In the previous post (links at bottom), I had used my Xiao Expansion board to play Christmas music stored on the SD card using the SamdAudio player. I don't have an SD card on my QT Py ornament, but I did add a 2MB GD25Q16 external SPI flash chi...
For the final element of my QT Py Christmas ornament, I'd like to add the ability to play some Christmas music. The SAMD21 has a single DAC output that I'll use to generate tones, but I'll also need to add an audio amplifier to drive a speaker a...
A project idea (and some dead ends)
If there's one thing that my kids associate with Christmas, it's Lego! More so than turkey, mince pies or a tree - it's often all about Lego. They tend to get at least some Lego as a present and they're currently ...
I know what I was doing a few years ago (2014 I think) as I was reminded by Facebook. See below. Here is Santa riding in on my mobile robot at the Raspberry Jam I organised, possibly Christmas 2014, distributing sweets to any passing young...
The SAMD21 processor that is used on the QT Py has a built in Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC) that can detect touch on external capacitive sensors. The PTC has a mutual-capacitance mode to sense touch on an x-y matrix and a self-capacitance m...
Having an interest in music and liking synthesizer music I thought it would be fun to create an analog version. My primary experience has been with digital designs and robotic controllers, but very little analog work. While there are many softw...
I am an Electronics engineering student from India as my country is one of the largest agricultural country in the world so I want to make technology for farmers for advanced farming. For this I used ESP8266 WiFi module,...
Once upon a time there was a girl who wanted a Christmas Tree for her doll house. So she asked her grandfather if he would help. They found stickers to use for decorations and tiny fairy lights to make it glow.
And the grandfath...
Me, I don't do the tree thing. I do Hanukkah we all have a blast and eat till we are stuffed. Then New Year In NYC my home town I love to shop Sax 5th Ave, Bloomingdales, maybe in Macy's? So here's a little of the holidays! www...
I was donated some non-working main boards from the old William's game Defender. Including several ROM sets. The biggest issues is the connectors for the insertable Ram/Rom chips are old and will not maintain good contacts. My proje...
Greeting cards are a simple symbolic way to convey a world of feelings to someone you can't be with.
They are even more important and powerful in the social distancing era.
I figure it is worth putting a little extra effort into creating the ultimat...
