Arduino Temperature / Humidity Sensor
The projects I do tend to fall in one of two buckets - either proof-of-concept (so I can learn new stuff) or items that have some sort of functional use. The need for this project came about when my wife was prodding me about the humidity in the house and whether our humidifier was doing it's job correctly. Most people would just go out and buy a temp / humidity sensor and be done…
Adafruit Monochrome 128×32 OLED graphic display
I recently got my hands on the Adafruit Monochrome 128x32 OLED graphic display for my next project. This is a 128x32 OLED B+W graphics chip and it's tiny! Don't let its size fool you however. Being an OLED display, text/graphics contrasts well against the black background. My initial intent for this display was to use it to provide information to you GPS Red Light Camera project. It's job would be to provide key information such…
Nissan Juke – Footwell & Glove Box LED Lightning
Next on the block - adding LEDs to the foot wells and glove box. (Prev mods: LED Tails and Rear Passenger LED mods) This mod can be especially useful this time of year up here on the 49th parallel since we are pretty much in darkness @ 5PM during November. All to often I drop something down near my feet and have to go looking for it. The light that casts from the map lights…
Nissan Juke – Custom LED Tail Lights
I'm a sucker for not conforming to status quo when it comes to my This includes my new Nissan (2012) Juke. In this mod, I added a set of LED light strips to the tail lights with a twist - I wanted to also monitor and react to braking to enhance the effect. I decided to go with an ATTiny85 using the Arduino core. It only needed 1 input from the 12V brake power and…
Dual LED Desk Light Controller – Arduino
I've been involved in microcontrollers for some time - but of the LEGO Mindstorms flavour (and BASIC Stamp to a lesser extent). Lately, I've jumped on the Arduino bandwagon. I've always had the natural nack to fix pretty much anything that has batteries or a plug running out of it. As the Arduino revolution has picked up dramatically over the past few years, so to has my desire to do DIY projects around the house.…
