Images and the frequency domain

lcamtuf’s thing revisits the frequency domain: a clever reinterpretation of everyday signals that translates them into the amplitudes of constituent waveforms. The most common basis for this operation are sine waves running at increasing frequencies, but countless other waveforms can be used to create a number of alternative frequency domains.If you take an image, convert ...

Turning audio or LFO signals into a clock

When last the AUDIODiWHY blog posted, they described a subcircuit that would take an audio signal from maybe 50K to below audible frequencies and turn it into a square wave–useful for turning audio into a clock signal for an MPU.It worked, but discussion ensued at my geeky audio meetup: is there an easier way to do this? Of course there is….Elton at OtterMods had a similar circuit, with lower parts count, based on an LM311 comparator. Elton’s design worked great, nice clean square waves regardless of a sloppy signal at the LM311’s inverting input. The BoB featured a low parts count–and, if going forward ...

Chef Light That Helps You Cook New Recipes

Super cute project from maker Shovan Mondal.Chef Light is a mini lamp that helps you add the right ingredient at the right time while cooking. It has a glowing Chef’s hat that can change colors. It has been programmed with a few recipes. When you begin cooking, turn on the Chef Light and select the recipe from a mobile app called Blynk. Every time the light changes color, all you have to do is pick up the container that has a matching color and add the ingredient into your dish. See more details here on instructables.

For the recent birthday party, Kauzerei had the great idea to build a DIY drum machine as a present, to allow them to play the bass without having to gather a jam session group. He recruited Thomas Buck for electronics design brainstorming and to write the firmware.The drum body consists of a tambourine with a 3D printed frame attached, with three hand-wound solenoids mounted on there. The positioning and different hammers create some (slightly) differing sounds. The electronics are made with a Raspberry Pi Pico (or Pico W in this case, although WiFi or BT are not used yet). This keeps ...

USB C plug breakout prototype testing

We finally got our USB C plug breakout prototypes put together and now its time to test! of course we love to use our own breakouts when verifying functionality so here we’re using our switchable USB adapter to check functionality: power, ground, D+ and D-. if a device enumerates we know its good! we tested the CC line by plugging it into an apple wall adapter: they’re picky about having a 5.1K resistor on the CC pin. that worked too – so now we’re good to book final PCBs – video.

UPDATED GUIDE: TRRS Trinkey – Adaptive Joysticks

The TRRS Trinkey guide has been updated with a new page on making your own USB analog joysticks for use with the Xbox Adaptive Controller.The Xbox Adaptive Controller (XAC) has two USB ports on the side for use with USB joysticks — these are designed to allow alternative hardware to replace the left and right thumbsticks of a typical gaming controller. Rather than be constrained by the commercially available USB joysticks, you can use the TRRS Trinkey to design custom solutions. In this example, a typical X/Y dual potentiometer joystick breakout is read by two analog pins on the TRRS ...

Code.circuitpython.org is a Brower-Based CircuitPython Editor and Serial Terminal

Would you like to be able to edit CircuitPython code, upload and download files to and from your CircuitPython board, and connect to its serial terminal, all from inside a browser? Check out code.circuitpython.org! It runs in Chromium-based browsers like Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera, so you don’t need to install anything. Code.circuitpython.org can connect to boards using the CircuitPython WiFi workflow, or over USB. If the board presents a CIRCUITPY drive, it will access files through that. But it can also read and write files via the CircuitPython serial connection, if you are using a board that does not ...

The Real (Weird) Way We See Numbers

Cool video from PBS’ Be Smart that explores the way our brains interact with numbers.Would it surprise you to learn that fish and birds count in pretty much the same way that we do? And that infants can do math? Our animal brains deal with quantities in very specific ways, from quick counts of a few dots to how we perceive larger numbers. This “number sense” impacts our psychology, history, and behavior in the most fascinating ways.
