Our biosensor array team worked late into the night on Saturday at Pumping Station: One. With the hackerspace challenge build deadline on Tuesday night, it's definately crunch time! Thankfully we've got a nice array of working sensors (in ...
Greetings, Here is a quick update on last week's activity on our Biosensor Array project for the GGHC. During our meeting on Saturday (Bill, Drew and myself), we performed the first integrated tests of 2 sensors connected to the same board (EKG ...
Tonight I was able to mount the Parallax CO2 sensor and my homemade "flow sensor" on the repurposed respirator mask. The flow sensor is small biscuit fan from an old Sun SCSI tape drive. To make this all work, I first removed the exhalation cage...
Basic connectivityI was able to calibrate the carbon dioxide sensor earlier today. In the process, I also learned that the sensor is much simpler than I originally thought. For our purposes, the sensor will require a total of three ...
This week, I began work on the body temperature sensor. Since putting the sensor in the user’s mouth would be an annoyance and present a possible choking hazard when performing physical activities, we decided to aim for locating the sensor unde...
Howdy - For the Great Global Hackerspace Challenge, our Pumping Station: One team is building a biosensor array. The array consists of sensors placed around one's body connected to an Arduino also attached to the body. Software runnin...
Howdy - At Pumping Station: One, we're luckly to have several talented photograghers as members. Here's a flickr photo sets featuring our hackerspace: Anne Petersen (current President of PS:One)http://www.flickr.com/photos/opacity/set...
When your heart beats, it generates an electrical current, or signal. The range of that signal can vary from .05 Hz to 150 Hz. Anything outside of that range isn't coming from your body, so to the first step in building our EKG sensor is ...
Welcome everybody to the home of Pumping Station: One's GGHC team. We'll be posting here regularly with updates, so stay tuned! We're a fairly young space located in Chicago, just finishing our two year anniversary of moving into our curre...
Rear seat entertainment for vehicles is a big thing right now. But what happens when one of these systems fails? Does the owner take the car into the dealer when the car is mechanically sound and works well, except for the entertainment system? Perha...
