My inner geek is always bubbling to the forefront of my life. My latest thing: Arduino
Currently in the post are:
Arduino Duemilanove
Power Supply
An Arduino sensor shield
Sound sensor
Temperature sensor
Breadboard
Jumper cables
5 button shield
I also have an ATX PSU converted into a bench PSU, a handful of 5.4" LCD screens and some bits and bobs.
There are 2 things I want to make:
1/ DJ controller - midi-outputting - 16x potentiometers controlled using 4051 ICs to control 4 channels of volume/high/mid/bass, 1x slide potentiometer for master volume, 5 buttons assigned to various functions and a recovered laptop touchpad converted to PS/2 (and then into USB)
2/ a baby monitor/alert/mobile - with the addition of a PIR sensor, it will a) monitor the room temperature and alert if too low or too high, b) monitor sound and movement in the room to determine if baby is awake and if so, play an animation on the attached 5.4" screen, play music and flash some soothing LED lights while alerting me to the fact that baby is awake
When it all turns up - out comes the geek :)
