First Test using an Arduino (clone) board
Above is the image of my very first attempt of driving this nice little bi-polar stepper motor (M35SP-11HPK) that I had salvaged from a broken Canon printer a while ago.
I have quickly put together a L293D H-bridge with an Arduino board and using the Stepper library was quite straight forward
For the impatient you can see a (probably boring) video right after the break…

This is an unexpected project, that might prove one of my (very) few that are actually finished and useful !

Here I am again, less than 2 days after my latest post… this must be the shortest delay ever between 2 consecutive posts.
First of all I hope you guys will approve of my choice of face to follow ! The English title is “All about my mother” by Almodóvar, which I’ve never actually seen, but my wife tells me it’s a really good movie… !

It’s been a while since my last post, 4 months more exactly. If we consider that the last couple of posts weren’t that “involved”, it’s been more than 6months, since January, when I did my last serious project / blogg post …

Here’s a quick follow up to my previous post on this topic, to showcase the work of Frank, who inspired by my project (wow… I feel good ) went on and created a similar SPOKA light.

This is the story of my (failed ) attempt to automate my son’s bouncer…
The plan was to mount the circuits and the motor directly on the wooden frame of the bouncer.

I’ve been looking for a simple and cheap wireless serial data solution for quite a while now…
No specific usage, but things like every time you integrate your Arduino into a project and then 2 days later you want to update the code and you have to dismount everything, or simply remote control a project or more generally just getting tired of “all the wires”…

“Tractor”, what tractor… ? That’s what you must be wondering right now, as I don’t often blog about tractors… especially full scale agricultural ones…
This is a slightly different post for me, in that it’s about some help I gave to 2 guys in Germany, working on a hydraulic anti-roll system for a tractor.
Wow… I never though I would be working on “revolutionising the agriculture” as they’ve put it…
