Tutorial 1 for CadSoft Eagle: Schematic Design
This is the first in a series of tutorials that will focus on using the very popular Eagle CAD program to design circuit boards from concept, to schematic, to board layout, to printed circuit board. In this first episode, I’ll show you how to get Eagle up and running, and how to design your first schematic.
Light-Up Mortar Board. Because I can.
This was one of those “Why Not?” moments. While sitting at dinner with family and friends the night before my graduation commencement, somebody mentioned that a light up Mortar Board would be really cool. Realizing that I had all the parts necessary to make one in my apartment, I went[…]
Hack the PopShop
In just 24 hours, my 3-person hack-a-thon team built the winning PopShop hack by building a gesture recognition system to control the lights and music within the PopShop.
SudoGlove Hardware Controller
As seen on TV!
The SudoGlove interprets hand gestures to control hardware or software. I’ve used it to drive RC Cars, synthesize music, and more.
Guest on the ZombieTech Podcast
Ever wanted to know how I would survive in a zombie apocalypse? What tools would I bring? How would I prepare food? Would I be able to survive without arduinos in a post-apocalyptic zombie-infested world? These are questions that I had never pondered, until tymkrs invited me to answer these questions on[…]
Open Hardware Summit and Maker Faire Wrapup
Yes, that’s me with the Arduino Team at Makerfaire! If you follow me on twitter, then you’ll certainly know that I spent last weekend in New York City for the 2nd Annual Open Hardware Summit and the 2011 World Maker Faire. I covered the Open Hardware Summit for element14 Electronics (hence[…]
Product Road Test: Lumex Backlit 16×2 LCD Display
This is a review of the Lumex LCR-U01602DSF/DWH 16×2 Backlit LCD Display. It was provided to me for evaluation by element14/Newark Electronics. You can purchase it or learn more here. I tested its performance by using it with an arduino and the excellent LiquidCrystal library. I will post an arduino[…]
MSP430 Wireless Weather Station
Contrary to popular belief, Arduino is not the only microcontroller I use for projects. I often program Atmega 8-bit CPUs in C for my research, I’ve played with PICs at various jobs, and I’ve also worked with Parallax Basic Stamp and Propeller chips. This semester, I added the TI MSP430[…]
e14 Blog Post: Engineering as a Collaborative Art Form
Time for another post on the element14 Do-It-Together Blog! I’ll assume you’ve already read my inaugural post. My latest post calls for continuing collaboration between artists and engineers. This is a topic that I’ve been exploring a lot over the last 2 years. I’ve started getting more interested in this since enrolling[…]

This project was featured on Hackaday.com on 3/26/2011 This project was featured on Synthtopia.com on 3/28/2011 I had to put “music” in quotation marks, since I’m using a pretty loose definition. I do not consider myself to be a musical person, but I do love music and I’ve always been extremely interested[…]
