I'm sorry i was really lazy the last time but i promise i will add some new pages or Project/Logs soon. I had to do a little project on the behalf of my comrades. It is a Lantern which resembles the coat of arms of the town where i live. I got the Lantern and had to "hack" it.

I just returned from my vacation... at least i read Andy Weirs "The Martian".

I just take my time at the beach and read the book in about 4 days ^^

Many thanks to the HaD team for this recommendation.

The best part is, that Marc Watney is in fact a MacGyver who refuses to die, although he nearly kills himself a couple of times.

Respective to the Movie I'm looking forward for it. Did you notice, that the cast has at least 2 matches with Interstellar (2015)? (Which was also a great movie) I'm curious how close they can keep to the book... I think they could do a triology with all the content of the Book ;)

On 27. June i visited the Maker World and the HAM Radio trade fair. I didn't take the time to share some impressions until now ;)

I Hope you like it!

Maker World and HAM Radio Signs ;-) Find more Images after the Brake.

Feels like they are laughing at me :-(

Too sad my skills may be to limited to use one...

Yesterday i visited europes biggest tuning car fair.

Most of us don't tend to optically tune vehicles. But i found some gems, which you may like ;-)

Still not confident enough about new projects (especially for the HAD Prize) or continueing old ones :-/

wool-gathering [fig.] of new projects

• Decorative Garden Hydrogengenerator - Generates Hydrogen from unused Solar Power. Project cost about 150€ in Parts

• Decorative Garden Physical Solar Energy Storage contraption. E = m * g * h; with m=100kg, g = 10 m/s², h = 2m ==> E = 2000 Ws which probably equals 46 Ah @ 12V (My Solar Power Battery has 9Ah!) Costs? Uncertain :-/ In my mind is something like a small scale hydroelectric power plant
• Warp Core :-P

Is there also an unsunk cost fallacy? :-/ hmm...

Update 2024-06-13

To give you people some service, here is the updated Schematic as i used:

Wow over 9 Years ago and i can still find these files :D

Update 2015-04-29 see below!

Hmm... LEDs are always worty a new PCB ^^

What i found is, that i have one http://de.farnell.com/texas-instruments/tlc59116ipwr/led-treiber-16ch-i2c-bus-tssop28/dp/1647815?jsValue=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.farnell.com%2Fcad%2F1671248.zip&jsAction=cad&skipCache=true

left... so lets create a PCB ^^

I just wanted to thank you for all the great hours of Thinkering and Discussion.

Lets hope we find this new Year even more interessting Ideas and Projects!

Lets Enjoy this Holliday and have a great start into 2015!

Hmm.. sometimes the simplest solution is the best solution. But i have a disbelief, that it can be that easy.

The Task is: If The Supply Voltage is above a certain level AND the Light Level is below a certain level, light up a LED or an other load.

Theory of Operation: If the level at Pin 3 of the LM324 is higher than 0.7V (Diode Voltage) Output at Pin 1 will raise to V+. If the Level at Pin 6 is lower than the Level of Pin 5 the Output at Pin 7 will drop to GND. If those two conditions are true, the Optocoupler will get conductive ant LED1 will light up. The Parts are not the final decision, i just took some from the EAGLE Library ;-)

Hmm... what about creating a small scale Flux Kompensator for my car? ;)

After seeing some at kickstarter and an other page, i think i really need that :-P

(They don't ship outside the USA anyhow :-()

Welcome to the e!

After visiting the HaD Munich Event i also had the chance to attend the Electronica. As followed there are some impressions :) In reality there was much more to see and do and loot ;-)No electronics but impressive construction site vehicle ;-)

Really nice bench power supply, but i think nobody will effort it for home use :-/

Nice decorative lighting :)

Display glass, 1mm thick.

nice pcb ... dresses ;)

Emerging VR :) To sad i had not taken the time to get into the que :-/

That was a nice booth :) i like the american style.

Nice electric BMW car ^^

Nice race track :)

Neat Airbus A380 modell :)

Phoenard :) As seen on the HaD Event and on kickstarter :)

Nice IOT Kit :)

... Complete with Marlyn Monroe and Michael Jackson (Not pictured)

Industrial Robot :) Always nice to see moving around, even if they don't do anything usefull ;)

Neat Drone :)

Micron 25nm DDR4 DRAM wafer

Nice people recocnition demo with the BBT Characters :)

Neat Gear Shift Selector :)

Neat electronics in Fish Tank ^^

A rather creepy robot, but nice to look at ^^

Neat profile enclosures :) (My favourite brand ;-D)

Some other colorful enclosures

Neat chinese (?) Dashboard ^^

If you are in need of colorful front plates, At ELMA you can get them made ^^

Neat Small monochromatic displays :)

There are some more trade fairs worldwide :)

Hope you enjoyed this short overview, comments are always welcome :)

As you could have heard on 13. November 2014 (Thursday) there was a big Hack a Day event in Munich. For me it was something like Christmas and Birthday ;-)

Just check out some Impressions...

Workshops

Workplace :)

People screwing together the #meArm s

Some Kind of Overview of the Workshops

The Workshop time was in fact to short ;) could have hacked away a few more hours, but the show had to go on ;-)

Projects

Below a few project, please feel free to add links to the comments section!

One of my favourites, very nice sound effects ;)

Not an actual project but a very neat gadget ... http://motrr.com/

Nice ambient lightning...

Lightning Talks

Sorry, can't really remember what that was :-/

Phoenard :) Awesome developement Platform, currently on Kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2080282237/phoenard-the-arduino-compatible-prototyping-gadget

(Already >50% founded since thursday! (on Sunday))

I have a few more pictures, but they are made at the elektronika.
There was also Mr. Frake who invited us to see the computeum :) http://coole-seite.de

BTW, there is also a Blog Post about this: http://hackaday.com/2014/11/16/the-computeum-one-of-the-biggest-computer-museums-in-germany/#more-138274

And a Youtube Video:

Another one or two talks (Sorry for my bad memory!)

Here a talk about the M.A.R.S 3000, a very neat Mars Rover model

http://hackaday.io/project/740-mars

Computeum

Now lets dive into the lost treasures of the computeum :) What a great tour by Hans Franke!

Never tell a hacker not to touch something ...

It says "Endlospapiertrenner" (engl.: continuous paper cutter) Somehow funny ;)

Somehow a bit sad, that all those gems have to stay in a Storage Hall. Some people suggested a kickstarter for a more museum like presentation of the Stuff.

Outside

Follow the white rabbit ;-) nice peace of artwork ;-D

The Technikum, where all the magic took place.

Sprite_tms talk about hacking a Keyboard to play snake --> Mind blown.

The Hack a Day Prize

First Price a circuit board vice with signet :-) and well there was also availibility for a space flight or an nice pile of money ;-)

The lucky winners: http://hackaday.io/project/1340-satnogs-global-network-of-ground-stations

The lucky winners and the HaD Staff :-) BTW: Would be interessting if the rumor is true, that the event took place in Germany because the Winners stay in Berlin ;-)

The Party

The DJ Muallen :) I think he made a good job, i liked the tunes and you could also talk easy to other people.

My fancy POV device, swung a bit too fast.

Fancy sorting LED Hat :)

Really nice event, thanks a lot!

I'm also looking forward for Brians Video ;-)
