Lets Make It
This week I walk through modifying my Flysky 9X with an LCD back Light, A programmer so I can flash open source code onto it and also upgrade the RF module to a FR-Sky RF module which gets me better range, a failsafe option if I fly out of…
This is the first week in our multi-week series on building multirotor flying things (my wife calls them toys). The math we cover in this episode is the same if you a building a quadcopter, hexacopter, octocopter and even a tricopter.We decided to tackle the math part first because…
This week we take a look back at the doggie door button and show you the finished project working and talk about where we are going to take it.We also have an announcement for the upcoming new season of Let’s Make It. Downloads HD …
This week we give a little intro into the Arduino Yun. The Arduino Yun has 2 different chipsets, one running a small version of linux and the same chipset that is used on most arduinos. You et the best of both worlds and that also includes wifi. Using these…
This week we take a deep dive into the Intel Galileo that can run Arduino code. The Intel Galileo runs a small unix operating system and runs the Arduino code in emulation. This makes for some really neat integration between Arduino and a unix based operating system.We go through…
One of the most frequent questions we get is about getting a serial LCD to work with an Arduino. This week, we are going to take a look at a typical LCD, the backpack that is added to them to make them serial and then the most common problem…
This week we take another more in depth look at the touchboard mike showed us last week. We also look at some conductive ink pens that came this week. A quick look at some 3D Printing items as well. Downloads HD Apple…
This week Mike gives an update on the beehive project, some new touchboard items from kickstarter along with some conductive paint.We also talk about the 3d Printer Ridgidbot that we received from kickstarter.We take a look at the Raspberry Pi Model B+ Downloads HD …
This week we do an update on the hexacopter and walk through all of the parts on it. We also talk about some 7 inch touch screens for Raspberry Pi and the Udoo.
