This is the part where I’d link you to the code, but alas, I wasn’t using version control, and have completely overwritten the original code with ~73 iterations. I’ll post the new stuff with all the relevant
Sometimes Apple stuff is just “magic.” But when the magic fails, it can send you endlessly searching for a solution online. I am placing this post here so search engines can be find it in case someone else is having this same issue. Normally, I can take a photo on my iPhone and s...
I have come to the realization that I miss this. I miss laying out PCBs. I really miss the old ArduinoBoy project. I miss building stuff and sharing it. It also appears that I’m a bit rusty when it comes to writing blog posts. This is taking a bit more thought and effort than I...
Arduino is a microcontroller board that makes it really easy to program electronics. It’s an easy way to get started with microcontrollers that I highly recommend since it lets you jump right into the code and do stuff from the start. You can use it both for building simple things likea ...
I’ve taken some time to turn the work into a consumable library that should make it much easier for others who want a turn-key way to drive the display. The library is available in the Arduino IDE as well as the PlatformIO registry and comes with examples to get started. When added ...
Honey, I Shrunk the Arduino: Moving From Arduino to ATtiny and Writing Your Code in Pure AVR-C: Arduino is a great hard- and software platform, but with all its features it is also a bit bloated and often you only need a small part of all the features. S
PID control goes that bit further to reduce errors and provide accuracy and stability in a process. It does this by using the integral action and derivative actions toeliminate control deviation errors and to manage rapid process movements. ...

Once everything was wired up, I needed to do some testing. Since my Teensy board from Adafruit was delayed, I decided to use a Arduino Mini Pro. I knew that bouncing would be an issue. It seemed like the simplest debouncing solution was just to make a basic time filter by using a co...
Things Halloween costumeI knew I wanted to make things simpler with addressable LEDs. A strip ofAdafruit’s NeoPixelswere great for this. The strip has only three pins to wire: 5V, ground, and data. The data line connects to the controller chip inside each LED to command brightness and ...
