I was struggling with how to layout my workouts since I finished the TRX Force workout. I wanted to go gung-ho again and do a hour of cardio in the morning and at night and TRX at noon. I was already tired from putting that plan together. I seem to push things as though I …
12 weeks and continuing where I left off
It's time. I fixed my stationary bike so the seat doesn't hurt when I ride for an hour. I replenished the vitamins I just ran out of. Finally, I adjusted my workout space so I have mats for the floor.I've noticed in 12 weeks that I've gone from feeling great to feeling bloated, crappy, and …
Wii Nunchuck controlling ArduRover
ArduRover V1This is to connect a Wii Nunchuck to the ArduRover and then, by moving the Wii Nunchuck move the rover instead of just using Serial and WASDX to control it.The first thing to know is that I didn't document everything for the first two Wii Nunchuck demos.I am pretty sure I bought my wii …
RobotShop V2 Rover
Lucas (alright I as well) have had grand ideas of cool robots. This one, is cool, so far, but in the end will be too small for what we're going to do. However, that hasn't stopped this from becoming the beginning of a cool little rover.If you go to the RobotShop and search for the …
11 weeks
Eleven weeks is how long I've not worked out. For 10 weeks I didn't gain or lose any weight nor did I gain size. this last week I gained 7 pounds, I could barely buckle my belt, and my jacket was a little tight when I was zipping it up yesterday.It's time to get back …
Simple HUD (electronics) with Arduino + BLE + OLED – Part 1
UPDATE - 10/10/14: This may not work with the Nano. I've plugged everything in multiple times - the pin outs are both 40mA for the Mega vs the Nano. It is possible that I've fried the Nano. One Nano is connecting to the Arduino IDE where the other isn't recognized. When I'm done debugging that …

Arduino Mega put bootloader on different Arduino Mega
At one time I was attempting to upload TFTP bootloader to my Arduino Mega. Something happened during that upload (partially b/c the bootloader can't be uploaded via my pocket programmer) and the power went out on the programmer and I bricked my Mega.On your Master Mega -load the ArduinoISP sketch from the Exampleschange the Programmer …

BLE + OLED + Arduino MEGA + iPhone 4s
This is geared towards my iPhone 4s, but really any BLE (Bluetooth 4.0) enabled device will work.The first thing is to go out and read this: https://learn.adafruit.com/getting-started-with-the-nrf8001-bluefruit-le-breakout/introductionor this: https://learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/getting-started-with-the-nrf8001-bluefruit-le-breakout.pdfDone? Good.Previous tutorials have worked with the SainSmart OLED which uses a 1306 SSD (the code for this can also be found at Adafruit for their graphics - https://learn.adafruit.com/monochrome-oled-breakouts/arduino-library-and-examples).The nrf8001 …
HC-05 Bluetooth
VCC - 3.3VGND - GNDTXD - D12RXD - D11KEY - D13LED -That's it - Then you can connect to the bluetooth you desire. After you pair, the code is 1234 which may be changed by the AT commands.http://geekinc.ca/using-screen-as-a-serial-terminal-on-mac-os-x/http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-AND-Bluetooth-HC-05-Connecting-easily/?ALLSTEPS
SD Card and Arduino Nano
In a follow up to my last post I decided that since I was integrating these sensors on a Nano I should actually prove that as well.I took to the Arduino Nano schematic so I could figure out which pins are which.http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/ArduinoNano30Schematic.pdfI don't remember where I found this PNG (one of the Aruino forum posts), …
