Friends at Cytron Technologies are going to launch an Arduino compatible Maker UNO board at KickStarter. They send me an early production board for review. So here are my two cents worth. (This is NOT a paid review) This article from Wikipedia gives us a very comprehensive list of Arduino UNO compatible boards from "known" … Continue reading Arduino Redesigned – Maker UNO Review

FlappyDuino – Arduino Day 2014 celebration
March 29 2014 is Arduino's 10 years birthday, also the World's Arduino Day. In conjunction with the global celebration, SG Makers in partnership with IDA is organizing a whole series of events for Singapore Arduino lovers. And I was invited to showcase some Arduino projects. Being not too much dedicated to Arduino, I have to quickly put up something … Continue reading FlappyDuino – Arduino Day 2014 celebration
JTAG adapter for Arduino Micro
For the holiday season I get myself an AVR JTAGICE3. Holding the new shiny emulator and a bunch of Arduino boards, what shall I do? Of course to hop onto the all-hail Atmel Studio and ditch the toy-alike Arduino software. Reason being? Debugging Arduino code with serial console is no fun. I need my single … Continue reading JTAG adapter for Arduino Micro
Singapore Mini Maker Faire, 2nd year
Well I should have written this earlier since the Singapore Mini Maker Faire 2013 (#SMMF13) has passed for weeks. This is the second year of the event and the venue was relocated from the remote (to me) Science Center to Singapore's busiest Orchard area. And it is free entry for all 😀 If anything would … Continue reading Singapore Mini Maker Faire, 2nd year
Hacking a cheap LED voltmeter
I'm planning to build a EEVblog-ish constant dummy load for battery and power supply testing. Dave in his build used a LCD voltmeter for the display. In the senseless pursuit of difference, I tried other display solutions including character LCD, graphics LCD, OLED, TFT, AMOLED, IPS, which resulted in several previous blogs but nothing ends up … Continue reading Hacking a cheap LED voltmeter
Tutorial: 3.3V hacking for Arduino Nano
Hey I'm writing my first tutorial 🙂 During my recent OLED testing I wrote the software using Arduino Pro Mini 3.3 - the only Arduino board with 3.3V I/O (Lilipad may be the other one but not breadboard friendly). Originally I was using the SPI interface and everything works fine. But when I'm trying to test … Continue reading Tutorial: 3.3V hacking for Arduino Nano
Project Crystal (Part 2)
It took me a while but I've made some progress ... Here are the photos of finished board: [style-my-gallery css="max-width: 80%; margin: 0 auto 25px auto" options='animation: "fade", directionNav: false, pauseOnHover: true, slideshowSpeed: 5000, animationDuration: 300'] Working as a software engineer for ten over years, I did not initially consider Adruino programming is of any … Continue reading Project Crystal (Part 2)
Project Crystal (Part 1)
A small project I did while waiting for the Raspberry Pi - Arduino controlled RGB LED light. The initial idea was stolen taken from Luminch One I made several redesigns: RGB LED strip instead of original high-powered LED Use battery power. The journey for battery power ends up to be much more complex. The major concern is standby … Continue reading Project Crystal (Part 1)
