Arduino in HighDef Macro Pictures

Today I was having fun with a MacroLenses and decided to take some pictures of my Arduino Uno board, I got quite happy with the results that I am using them as wallpaper, and I decided to share with you.

You can find the original file ≈ 15mb, also 1920×1200, 1680×1050 and 1280×800.

DIY: Home UBUNTU NAS Server

Back in 2003, I used to connect my computer on the my old 32′ TV, those huge and heavy TVs, to watch stuff from the internet, at that time, eMule was ruling the p2p community (can’t talk about USENET right? :} ). Then in 2008 I decided to build a better HTPC (Home Theater PC), a full dedicated computer connected to my TV, with good MotherBoard/VGA/SoundBoard, well, a good computer, with gaming capacities. It was good while it lasted, but you know, it was huge black box below my TV, bit noisy, but it did the job.

Just having fun with TimeLapse video while studying for final here at my place.

The software I used is called Gawker really good!

My new PicPlz Gallery

Yesterday I was playing with the PicPlz API and decided to build a gallery for myself, so I can simply see all my PicPlz pictures in one page, and with the coolness of FancyBox.

You can also use to create your own gallery, simply by going to http://www.danielandrade.net/picplz/?u=USERNAME, changing the USERNAME to your own. And then you have it.

Ah, take a look at my gallery here.

Hope you like it, and use it!!
Let me know what do you think of it.

Dotklok + LM35 Temperature Sensor

I got my Dotklok up and running some days ago, I am really enjoying it on my room.
But I want to do more with it. Too bad right now I don’t have much time to play with electronics and build cool things.

Anyway, today I decided to spend some time learning the Dotklok’s code and add a temperature sensor to it. The result was really cool, and now I am sharing the bit of code I added to the clock.

Arduino + Sound Sensor

I got a sound sensor on Ebay some days ago, and decided to give it a try!
Really simple, just made a code to light up the led when the volume was higher the ambient sound.

Just for fun!

Using Arduino to calculate Quadratic function

This is a simple and quick code I made for teach variables with arduino programming,
where we enter the variable numbers a, b, c in

and we get the answer using the Serial Monitor..

I won’t get in details about this code, it’s quite straightforward. But if you have any question, just ask!

Gastronomismo – Isadora’s Sandwich

If you want a really good sandwich, you should check this video made by Isadora Becker Isadora and Leonardo from Porto Alegre, Brazil.

The video: “Specially made for Vimeo Weekend Project by Isadora Becker and Frederico Leonardo Dora, from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Soundtrack by NY-based jazz band Red Hook Ramblers via Free Music Archive”

And guess what, they won!!

In case you like the video (and speak portuguese, sorry), you should check GASTRONOMISMO, Isadora’s cooking online video project. I think they will add subtitles to the episodes in the future.
