ICU2 is going to Pavilhão do Conhecimento in February and we are finishing the hardware and software. Some servos needed to be swapped and I needed to print a suport for a standard servo, this video shows a bit of the printing process and the printed thing assembled. There will me more updates very soon.
No último sábado, 5 de Fevereiro, o altlab organizou o Arduino Hack Day. Participaram no evento perto de 40 pessoas, entre entusiastas em electrónica, artistas, programadores, arquitectos, fotógrafos, amigos. Para muitos, foi o primeiro contacto com o Arduino, a descoberta da simplicidade desta plataforma para o desenvolvimento de projectos de computação física. Distribuídos por quatro [...]
Here’s another way to hack a servo motor. This time Njay shows us how to do it, and it is quite easy. The code to use is the same for a normal servo, when you point it to the center (90 degrees) it will stop, than if you increment the angle it will start moving [...]
I’m happy to introduce the paperduino :D This Tuesday AltLab had its first public session and we did a mini workshop on “paperduinos”, a new generation of cardboard arduinos. We had lots of fun and have many more ideas we’d like to try: different layouts, colored papers, and other materials. More info soon at AltLab.
Just finished another walkthrough about hacking a HiTec servo and make it spin continuosly. Follow it on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/guibot/sets/72157617531839610/ Instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/HiTec-Servo-Hack/ HiTec Servo Hack – More DIY How To Projects
The new hacklab located in central Lisbon will start soon. To know more visit: http://www.altlablx.org/
I vandalized an RC toy and connected the motor wires to Arduino digital pins. It only gives us 1´s and 0´s which means low control, but can be handy someday :)
