Repairing a Sigma 24-70 EX Lens
I acquired a free Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 lens that had a few issues–namely, autofocus was broken and the zoom was incredibly hard to turn. After using the lens in full manual for a while, I determined that I would attempt…
DIY Cheap Reservoir Irrigation
When you’re trying to grow a bunch of plants in a field where a water source is lacking, things can be a bit tough. Hauling water on-site is a very arduous process, even with a tractor/trailer full of buckets. After…
MNL: Networked LED Lighting
MNL is a multi-node high-power RGB lighting system. It consists of a controller (PC or embedded system) and multiple light nodes networked with RS485. The first prototype nodes are up and running, and we will be developing the second revision…
PCB Desktop Background
Want a nice hearty printed circuit board desktop background? Well, here you go (right-click, save as). The PCB is an older Arduino NG board placed on top of one of our 10W MNLC lighting nodes (still under development, more information…
tinyRGB – an i2c LED driver
tinyRGB is a minimalist blinkM-compatible high-current i2c RGB LED controller consisting of only 10 basic components. The board is small and inexpensive, can be fabricated for as little as $1/board, and can easily be assembled by hand with a total…
ZonCoffee PCB
The ZonCoffee espresso PID controller board has been fabbed!
RGB Multi-Node Lighting
This project uses the open-source i2c RGB LED controller firmware “cyz_rgb” to create a modular high-power lighting network. The network is controlled by an Arduino, which scans the network for nodes controls them autonomously with onboard scripts, manually via serial…
SlatePermutate
SlatePermutate is a PHP and Javascript-driven interface for college class scheduling. SP parses course identifiers (such as MATH-2500) and autofills all available sections associated with the course. After submission, SlatePermutate presents a tabbed interface of all possible schedules, course conflicts…
Downloading wget Without wget: Use bash
There are many ways to download and install wget without having wget itself installed. For example, one can use curl, a sort of competitor to wget, or a package manager with libfetch or some other library-level downloader integrated (such as…
