| Projects |
|
|
| HD44780 library |
in process |
must supports ALL functions, many connection methods and support many displays at once. |
| BIG LED Tetris |
searching for light cell materil |
one pixel should be 4x4cmì, RGB. Must be event lit! Field is 24x16 pixels + maybe extra small led display for data. |
| Unified USB small display infrastruture |
on hold |
thinking about architecture, must get to know libusb for windows |
| Analog temperature sensor intefacing |
|
i switched + and -, i was hot like hell and now it is off by 3C. Need a new one. |
| AVR Video signal generator (PAL?) |
|

Capacitive sensing does not work as needed here.\ |
| USB Dance pad (mat) |
DONE! (2008-10-19) |
wow! |
| hand detector (proximity)) |
1/2 done |
done capacitive version, need to do IR version (pyro) |
| Human detector for light controller |
|
|
| Radio hand held game |
|
maybe sea battle or snake |
| Wall mounted LED clock with meteo station |
