Small stepper motors
For my clock project I needed to control the position of the hands. My options were continuously rotating servos or stepper motors. I found some small 28BYJ-48 stepper motors and gearbox with ULN2003 driver boards on the internet so I

Smart?
Back in Nov 2012 I backed a project on Kickstarter for a small Arduino like microcontroller system called “Smartduino” which I hoped to use for an internet connected humidity monitor. About this time last year I was expecting to see

Silly Clock
Whilst watching the Mr Silly, Mr Men episode on TV, I noticed he had a rather splendidly silly clock. Research I was having a think and concluded that such a clock could be made and could also be designed to

I2C Mini Shield
The proto shield I’d wired up for the LCD experiments was getting a bit full and I needed to wire up my rotary sensor board so rather than try and add yet another item to it I thought I’d make

Double Height Letters and a hidden hive of tech in Westminster
On Monday night I got to attend the London Arduino Meetup, this group is a mixed bunch of beginners and enthusiasts explaining and learning about using the arduino in their projects. The session was based at the Westminster Hub, a

A little venture in to electronics – Mechanical prototyping
Following the connection of the mouse and LCD to the arduino, I needed to have something physical to do further testing on. I wanted a design that would require the minimum of machining and would fit with my existing angle

Internet of things
With regard my temperature and humidity monitoring project I’ve been looking at using a small microcontroller to either log or publish the data to the internet. I’ve been looking at the Arduino and clones for this task. I’ve been trying

A little venture with electronics – Mousing
As per wiring up the LCD, the PS2 mouse should again have been a simple process. Again the libraries are provided and there are plenty of examples. I ripped up an old tablet (no drivers for that since Win95) to
