Old school nerd, new school nerdery. Proximity sensors with Arduino. Found a possible real world project to help focus my Arduino noodling. Arduino with Proximity Sensor on bildr. My wife has a new car that’s she’s sure she’s going to bash into the back of our garage. Add a proximity sensor to an Arduino with an LED and a buzzer and I might be able to rig a detector to let her know when she’s at the deepest safe distance in the garage. This is the sort of project.

Old school nerd, new school nerdery. Use DLNA to play movies on your Nexus 7. 27 March, 2013. I’m a big fan of the Nexus 7 tablet. It’s the right size, pretty much the right weight (lighter is always better, right? There are three problems to solve to make this work –. 1 How do I store my DVD’s to mpeg files on a home server? 2 How do I share those files so they can be streamed from the server? 3 How do I make my Nexus 7 able to see the files and able to play them? Ripping your DVD’s to mpeg files. IR...

Old school nerd, new school nerdery. Category Archives: Raspberry Pi. Real Life is Getting in the Way of My Hobby. Well, I knew this might be an issue, but I’m finding it hard to find blocks of time to work on any projects. I started working through the Make Magazine Electronics book. And even purchased the kit of components they sell (in a very nicely compartmented case, by the way) to work through the first few projects in the book. That’s been on backorder.

Windows 8 Roundup | Big Old Geek
http://www.bigoldgeek.com/2012/11/02/windows-8-roundup
Old school nerd, new school nerdery. 2 November, 2012. Windows 8 is upon us. I’ve installed it at home (hey, you have to learn somehow, right? The upgrade process was very well written and it didn’t take very long at all with my relatively modern year old i7 machine. It’s a little confusing since the interface is a bit new, but nothing that can’t be solved with a lot of education, right? So here is a list of all the best Win 8 resources I’ve come across so far –. For free for a period of time. This entry...

My previous post ended with me waiting for delivery of a surface-mount SWD connector so I could turn a Freescale Kinetis KwikStik K40 into a Segger J-Link compatible debug probe. I placed an order with Farnell UK for an appropriate connector, and it arrived the next day. Soldering the connector was surprisingly difficult. I had …. Filed under ARM Cortex. ARM Cortex-M...

Raspberry Pi from start to finish. Archive of posts filed under the hardware. The time is UP! 16 June 2016, 1:54 pm. Followers of this blog will know that I have an interest in the whole ecosystem of Raspberry Pi “compatible” boards. By now I have quite a selection. Mostly, the boards I have in my collection are ARM-based, often using a System-on-Chip (SOC) from AllWinner rather than the Broadcom devices used by the official Raspberry Pi ….

I placed an order with Farnell UK for an appropriate connector. And it arrived the next day. After reading up, it seems that I might have had better luck had I spread on some extra flux, rather than just relying on the flux core in the solder. Dependin...
