2013-02-12Laser projector complete! Some kind of projector, at least… As you can see, it moves more on the Y axis than on the X axis. Tweaks are needed… Assembly notes: • Lens movement mechanism from DVD (see previous post). • Mirror also from DVD. Tiny! 5*5 mm or something. • Laser LED mounted on soft […] Read more
2013-02-11Laser project phase 2; now with a moving lens mechanism dissected from a DVD drive (inspired by Ljudmila’s instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/Micro-LASER-Show-with-a-CD-Lens-Mechanism/). Yes, now I’m rummaging garbage for spare parts… Read more
2013-01-26Finalized the casing for the ultrasound sensor project today. It’s designed as a small “robot”, with two red LEDs as eyes and the SRF02 distance sensor as nose/mouth. There’s a small reset button on the top. I found the casing itself in the wonderful store Material (http://www.materialbutiken.se) in Stockholm for just 15 SEK. It fits […] Read more

2013-01-24ardubotics: The Problem Are you also always short on jumper wires? And does it also annoy you that good, solid jumper wires are pretty expensive if you want to buy them? If you answered “yes” to both questions above, then this might be interesting for you. After experimenting with solid core cables to use… ArduBotics: […] Read more
2013-01-24…and the results from the soldering: a working distance meter using ultrasound! Currently it just prints the distance on the serial port, but will form the basis of a simple proximity alarm. I can recommend this SRF02 framework: http://www.grapelabs.org/arduino/libraries/srf02-ultrasonic-distance-sensor Read more
2013-01-24Just lost my “soldering virginity”! Pretty happy with the results. In case you wonder, that’s an SRF02 distance sensor. Read more
2013-01-23Now we’re talking – a friggin’ laser! Coupled with a servo. Feels too slow for a laser projector. Also, need to build some kind of housing for all the gear. Read more
