RPi Zero Timelapse
Designed and laser cut a small acrylic board to house both the Raspberry Pi Zero and HQ Camera module. At the moment it’s making a timelapse of sprouting basil plants.
Tomato/Potato Calculator v1
Finished and exhibited version 1 of Maija Demiteres Tomato/Potato calculator.
E-ink display // update 7
Made a new housing for the e-paper display. This time in portrait mode with mounting holes for the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Because of the limitations of my laser cutter I...
RPi Camera // update 1
Made a small casing for the Raspberry Pi and HQ Camera Module. It opens via a small latch and its i/o is still accessible. Oh and it’s transparent.
Tomato/Potato calculator // update 2
Got a bit tired of using breadboards and tiny resistors to program the T/P calculator so I designed a switchboard that lets me quickly select a tomato or potato. The video...
Tomato/Potato calculator // update 1
Designed a small prototype of the T/P calculator Maija Demitere has come up with. Needed a way to differentiate between different ‘puzzle pieces’ being laid down in a hexagonal grid. Decided to put...
RPi Camera // update #
Testing out the timelapse capabilities of the Raspberry Pi in combination with the HQ camera module (and a 6mm wide-angle lens). The subjects are some sprouting buckwheat seeds.
Brainwaves sequencer // update 1
Started collaborating with Ieva Viksne and her brainwave-scanning-performance. Below is a quick prototype where the intensity of incoming brain waves are translated into drum patterns.
E-ink display // update 6
The e-ink display needed a better housing solution. Designed in Fusion 360 and laser cut with my Beamo laser cutter. Looks great and has some space to hold the Raspberry Pi...
180 Camera Holder // update 1
Whenever I make a 180° stereoscopic picture with our Vuze camera, my fingers are in the frame. Hence, I designed a construction to hold the camera and made a little pull...
Garage domotica // update 3
Installed the Arduino powered relay modules and connected them to 8 LED ceiling lights. The relayboard is mounted on a laser cut piece of wood together with an Arduino Mega. And...
Garage domotica // update 2
Problem: install an Apple Airport in the electrical panel in the garage. The panel uses DIN-rails to mount electrical components. Solution: design and laser cut a mounting bracket.
E-ink display // update 5
Why not just use this cool e-ink display as the raspberry pi’s main monitor? Sure, the framerate is not e-sports ready but it’s great for picture viewing.
Garage domotica // update 1
We are renovating our old garage. Taking out the junk and building a workshop/makerspace/exhibition-room. We installed 16 ceiling LED lights which will be controlled from a tablet. Made a small prototype...
E-ink display // update 4
Created a small control website for the e-ink display. A Flask server hosts a website which allows for easy interface design.
E-ink display // update 3
Using both full and partial updates on the e-ink display. So far the modules I’m using seem to accept both .bmp, .jpg and .png. Next, I’ll experiment with text and shapes.
E-ink display // update 2
Slowly hacking away at the e-ink display. Found some useful python modules and got the partial updates working.
E-ink display // update 1
Bought an 9.7″ e-ink display from WaveShare. It included a HAT for the Raspberry Pi that includes the controller. WaveShare supplies a demo code that clears the display, shows the 16...
Internet controlled robots // update 1
In these Covid riddled times, an internet controlled robot using open source video conferencing tools is just what we need.
Aquaponics // update 1
Constructed an aquaponics setup. Made from simple plastic construction materials and cheap grow lights (LED) from china. Water gets pumped up from the fish-inhabited-aquarium (or a bathtub in this case) to...
