Hey interwebs ain't it a good ol' day to start a project? This is the type of day I should be out playing frisbee or playing hopscotch but NOOO I am inside my house squinting at a circuit design. Well I came up with a little light show for my fish "Serra", short for Serrasalmus which is a type of piranha species. Anyways I used a 555 timer circuit which creates intervals that the lights should be on and off. This is followed by a large CAP that makes the LEDs phase in and out. I grabbed the high lumen LEDs from Radio Shack which cost me three bucks a pop! These are the types of sacrifices I make for Serra so he/she can have disco parties...sometimes you just gotta splurge. I got a video that shows how I did it. Take a look!
You are not a real person. Beautiful creation my friend. I'll have to try and top that before the end of the summer.
ReplyDeleteYour description and about me are very interesting. I really have no idea about anything with technology but this is all very eye opening. Your first blog is very creative, I love the use of video. I learned a little bit from visiting your blog which is a great way to get people to keep coming back. Good work!
ReplyDeleteI can't help but admit I loved the end of the about me and am slightly envious I hadn't included something of the sort. I think you did an awesome job in your about me and first post introducing yourself and your goals. The video was a great addition, filled with your own touch that made what was already a pretty cool sounding post even more interesting. I really enjoyed the break down about how specifically you managed to construct the disco light show as well as the demonstration.
ReplyDeleteI am really impressed. Your fish tank looks incredible good job! When you was explaining about how you created it, I was so lost. Just because I don't know anything about technology and getting things to work like that :) I like how you made a video to showcase your work and also you displayed your personality in it as well and also in your "About Me".
ReplyDeleteFor those who don't know about electronics and etc just like me would come to your blog a lot because you present it in a cool way. Good job!
