DIY Musical Lights for Beginners #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

With just a few bucks of extra material, I walk you through converting your regular Christmas lights into a whole-house light show. The goal here is to go from scratch. Although this guide is intended for people who don’t know how to use linux at all and those who do alike, the focus is for people for whom linux and the raspberry pi are a complete mystery. There is much more that can be done with the lightshowpi software and more sophisticated hardware, but this is about just getting started.

Microsoft Azure IoT Starter Kit w/ Adafruit Feather HUZZAH: In collaboration with Microsoft, Adafruit’s releasing IoT Starter Kits with boards, sensors, and components that are ‘Azure Certified for IoT.’

Azure is Microsoft’s cloud solution for IoT projects that’s a comprehensive and flexible program from the Microsoft team that they’re extending into the open source hardware world. This starter kit includes a pre-soldered Adafruit Feather HUZZAH with ESP8266 WiFi and some sensors and components to get you started on your IoT journey.

Feather is a development board from Adafruit that, like its namesake, is thin, light and lets you fly. We designed Feather to be a new standard for portable microcontroller cores.

This starter kit contains the Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 – our take on an ‘all-in-one’ ESP8266 WiFi development board with built in USB and battery charging. Its an ESP8266 WiFi module with all the extras you need, ready to rock!

At the Feather HUZZAH’s heart is an ESP8266 WiFi microcontroller clocked at 80 MHz and at 3.3V logic. This microcontroller contains a Tensilica chip core as well as a full WiFi stack. You can program the microcontroller using the Arduino IDE for an easy-to-run Internet of Things core. We wired up a USB-Serial chip that an upload code at a blistering 921600 baud for fast development time. It also has auto-reset so no noodling with pins and reset button pressings. (read more)

Arrow Presents: Advanced Internet of Things Pack – Back to School with LadyAda: So maybe it’s not “back to school” season any more – but here at Adafruit, we like to think that it’s always a good time to learn something new, which we guess means that everywhere we go is a proverbial school that we’re perpetually going back to.

To celebrate the continual season, we partnered with our good friends at Arrow Electronics to release custom packs of goodies called Arrow Presents: Back to School with LadyAda. This pack’s designed for more advanced users.

For the student who’s mastered Arduino and soldering and is ready to take on more! This pack contains everything you need to get started in the world of the ‘Internet of Things.’ Centered around the Feather HUZZAH – our flagship IoT board based on the ESP8266 WiFi-enabled chip – this pack contains sensors, components, servos, and more. (read more)

Huzzah! Adafruit.io Internet of Things Feather ESP8266 – WiFi Starter Kit: OK you’ve signed up for Adafruit.io and you’re ready to build something cool and Internet-connected. All you need is this starter kit which will get you going with lots of parts that go very well with our service and are the most common sensors and actuators you may want. Sense light, motion, humidity, temperature, and more, then send it for storage on Adafruit.io! Light up LEDs, make noise, and move a motor when a trigger is detected.

This pack is designed for people who want to use the new low-cost Adafruit Feather HUZZAH with ESP8266 WiFi microcontroller and are comfortable with that platform to explore IoT. A Feather HUZZAH development board is included. An Arduino or other microcontroller is not required.

This pack DOES NOT include a standard USB micro-B cable (use any cable you have as long as its sync+charge not ‘charge only’), a solderless breadboard, or a Lipoly battery (take your project on the go!) – you will need a USB cable to program and debug your HUZZAH & either USB or a Lipoly battery to power the Feather HUZZAH. You may also want a full size breadboard and some prototyping wires. Some soldering is required to assemble the Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 and HDC1008 sensor. (read more)

Researchers have managed to connect a human brain to the internet #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

Researchers are using a Raspberry Pi to turn the brain into an not device! Via Ghana News Agency:

According to a release available to the Ghana News Agency, published on Medical Express, for the first time ever, researchers have devised a way of connecting the human brain to the internet in real time. It’s been dubbed the “Brainternet” project, and it essentially turns the brain “…into an Internet of Things (IoT) node on the World Wide Web.”

The project works by taking brainwave EEG signals gathered by an Emotiv EEG device connected to the user’s head. The signals are then transmitted to a low cost Raspberry Pi computer, which live streams the data to an application programming interface and displays the data on an open website where anyone can view the activity.

Adam Pantanowitz, a lecturer in the Wits School of Electrical and Information Engineering and the project’s supervisor, said: “Brainternet is a new frontier in brain-computer interface systems. There is a lack of easily understood data about how a human brain works and process information.

“Brainternet seeks to simplify a person’s understanding of their own brain and the brains of others. It does this through continuous monitoring of brain activity as well as enabling some interactivity.”

Pantanowitz said this is just the beginning of the possibilities of the project.

He added that the team was now aiming to allow for a more interactive experience between the user and their brain. Some of this functionality has already been built into the site, but it is very narrow — limited to stimulus such as arm movement.

“Brainternet can be further improved to classify recordings through a smart phone app that will provide data for a machine-learning algorithm. In future, there could be information transferred in both directions – inputs and outputs to the brain,” Pantanowitz said.

Future applications for this project could lead to some very exciting breakthroughs in machine learning and brain-computer interfaces like Elon Musk’s Neural Lace and Bryan Johnson’s Kernel.

Data collected from this project could lead to a better understanding of how our minds work and how we can take advantage of that knowledge to augment our brain power.

“Hundred kids” pen holder #3DThursday #3DPrinting

icefox1983 shares:

“A hundred kids celebrating new year” (百子嬉春) is a classic Chinese art subject. “A hundred” is liberally used in Chinese literature to mean “many”, not necessarily exactly a hundred. The subject embodies prosperity, happiness, and fertility.

The original art piece was a fan painting (on a hand fan, not by a “fan”) by Su Hanchen (苏汉臣), circa 1150 CE. The “hundred kids” pen holders are typically bamboo carves of the same subject. Stronghero3d made a highly detailed 3d sculpture in the style of a bamboo carve (thank you!) but it was only a surface and prints solid. I remixed it into a proper pen holder.

A Dragon Ball Z Costume That Will Make You See Green

For some cosplayers, body paint and/or prosthetics can be a turn-off or a dealbreaker for costumes. But Takatsuki didn’t let either element stop her from becoming Dende from the Dragon Ball franchise. She made a prosthetic head extension — kind of a helmet really — and covered her face in green paint to become the Namekian healer.

She shared a look at the crafting process on Twitter. She showed a close-up look at the gloves, which she dyed to make the right shade of green, and a makeup test:

どういう手つきをしたらピッコロさんっぽくなるか模索してたんだけど、指が4本じゃ無いので無理でした😇

Cosplay light up ring #3DPrinting #3DThursday

Bogus shared this project on Thingiverse!

This was made for a Panto in the UK,

There is space inside the hollow gem to take two led’s in series I chose to salvage a couple of white ones from a cheap torch/flashlight.
All of the parts should fit together as shown in the pictures.

The part labelled switch stopper is optional and simply prevents the switch pushing back inside the ring body when the button is pressed.

The battery contacts are simply made from the legs of a capacitor quite thick, 0.8mm 0.03in and should be bent to fit, with a slight hump where the contact with the battery is made, I think the pictures show this.

The wires can be super glued in place as should the non contact parts of the battery contacts.

I found the best orientation for the batteries was positive down and is wired accordingly.
Ignore the orientation of the batteries in the picture with the ring showing IKEA on the top, they should be IKEA side down.

I used a switch salvaged from an old monitor control panel, you may have to find something similar, The printed power button simply glues onto the switch when it is place.

The printed layer immediately above the switch may not print at all, it’s very thin, but is not important.

Super Mario Brick Cartridge Case #3DPrinting #3DThursday

ethanfel shared this project on Thingiverse!

Yet another remixe of the cartridge case.

i had a lot of fun doing this one. It was quite hard to do properly with my actual level of skill.

To keep the original design and colors, i’ve separated the inside and the outside decors. It made it a bit tricky to print since there is a lot of parts.

The result was worth it.

Tolerance and Fittings Gauge #3DPrinting #3DThursday

NPG3D shared this on Thingiverse!

The Skware

About

A small traditional test for determining the amount of compensation required for engineering parts with 3D printers.

What’s special about it?
Sharp corners are notoriously difficult to create perfectly, especially on a 3D printer and this often affects the final fit of the parts negatively. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce this effect.

By utilizing a similar strategy used in the top row of the test, or by chamfering a part’s corners, as seen on one of the pegs, considerably closer tolerances can be achieved!

Use this test to discover what that potential is.

How to Use

Print the test and the pegs.

Some cleaning of the test or pegs may be required. Printing slower will make for a much better first layer which is critical here, and less clean up.

Insert each type of peg across each row, starting from the left and working your way right until the peg is first capable of being inserted fairly well without slippage to determine a minimum compensation amount for printer inaccuracy.

The holes represent a width of 10MM plus whatever number found at the bottom of the column.

Each peg represents a width of 10 MM. If the 10MM peg can only fit in the 10.4 hole, for example, then touching parts in an assembly must subtract the total extra amount in order to ensure fit.

If engineering a part with a designated fit, be it a press fit or a loose or sliding fit, that dimension is subsequently added or subtracted to the number debugged above.
