Know How... 213: Arduino Controlled Lighting

Thu, 19 May 2016 14:59:29 PDT

We build an Arduino that can control, brightness, red, blue, and green LED's individually using potentiometers.

Lightduino Parts List

4 x Potentiometers $6.98
Favorite WS2812 Light
UBEC (For future use)

Assembly

Set 4 potentiometers into the breadboard
Daisy chain 5v and GND onto the outside pins of each potentiometer (MAKE SURE NOT TO CROSS 5V and GND!)
Connect the center pin of each potentiometer to Analog pins 0-3
Connect the WS2812 light stick to 5V and GND, and the data pin to Digital Pin 3

Practicals

We're running everything from on-board power for this small-scale experiment, but we'll need a seperate power source once we scale up our lighting
We're using an Uno for the prototyping stage, but we're going to use a smaller Atmel board for the final project
We want to run the finished light from a single 3s battery
We will get slight variations in our analog values because our jumper wires are slightly loose
This would be a good time to use digital rotary encoders Lightduino Programming https://www.dropbox.com/s/wpv3gpi40cyxoja/KH213_Lightduino1.zip?dl=0

Tech News Today 1512: Where in the World is Your E-Waste?

Thu, 12 May 2016 17:52:10 PDT

Tonight we chat with Owen JJ Stone (aka OhDoctah) about all the tech news that's fit to be trending. First, we talk about Gboard, the new iOS keyboard from Google. GBoard offers search, predictive emoji, GIF search, and more. But cycling through the keyboards to get to it can be a huge pain in our fingers. Next, we cover the ongoing saga of Facebook's trending news section. Documents leaked to the Guardian reveal that Facebook moved away from a pure-algorithmic approach to story selection in 2014, when Facebook was criticized for not including adequate news coverage of the situation in Ferguson, Missouri. As a result, the leaked guidelines reveal that human intervention exists with every stage of the process. After that, we talk about Google's rumored Amazon Echo-clone, Chirp, and a bug in iTunes that might be deleting your music. We also welcome Elizabeth Grossman to the show to talk about her research into e-waste. A two-year investigation from the Basel Action Network (BAN) has revealed that the toxic e-waste we think is being responsibly recycled might be exported illegally to low-tech workshops in developing countries.
