In this episode we take the TB6612FNG Dual H-Bridge motor driver and connect it to an Arduino & Raspberry Pi. We run two small gear motors that are great for small robotics.
DIY ATX Bench Power Supply
We build a bench top power supply from an ATX computer power supply. These bench top power supplies can provide quite a bit of current at 3.3, 5, and 12 volts. We 3d printed a panel that houses a switch to turn the unit on, a switch to silence the fan, an indicator LED and three sets of terminals for the three voltages mentioned above.
How to connect the MCP21017 GPIO Expander to an Arduino and Raspberry Pi
In this episode, we take a look at the MCP23017 GPIO Expander IC. With this IC, we can add 16 GPIO pins to the existing GPIO pins on an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or any micro controller that has an i2c bus. They can be “stacked” for up to 128 additional GPIO pins! Bring on the LED’s!
How to connect the MCP3008 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) to a Raspberry Pi and Arduino
In this episode we take a look at the MCP3008 Analog to Digital Converter IC. With this chip we can add Analog inputs to a Raspberry Pi, or extend the analog ports on an Arduino.
DIY 3d printed Drill bit organizer
For Christmas I got some awesome new drill bits. But I want a different case for them. In this video, we design and 3d print a custom drill bit case for my new Norseman metric set!
3D Printing Star of Life
My son is now an EMT and I thought I would make something for him to celebrate. I found an SVG of the “star of life” and imported into fusion360, made some tweaks and printed it in 4 colors. The model will be available on Thingiverse on 12/27/2018. I just created a thingiverse account for MD, and its making me wait 24 hours before I can publish. Check the link on the 27th if you want the models!
DHT11 and DHT22 Temp & Humidity Sensors on Raspberry PI and Arduino
Learn how to connect the DHT11 and DHT22 Temperature & Humidity Sensors to a Raspberry PI and Arduino. We cover all the connections for both sensors on both hardware platforms as well as provide and review the code to get them working!
How to connect a servo to a Raspberry Pi and Arduino!
Learn how to connect a servo to a Raspberry Pi AND Arduino! In this episode we show you how to do just that. As well as provide all the code you need on GitHub.
Behind the Scenes – Audio Quality
Some behind the scenes footage of me making a cable for the audio rig and talking about my audio workflow when creating new videos. It was lacking a little in previous videos, and there’s no excuse – I’ve been an Audio Engineer for 20+ years!
3d Print Diorama Part 4 – Sloth
Part 4 of the Diorama Series. We are going to print the sloth. Very small and quick print. Join me as we locate, setup, print and clean up this last animal for the diorama project!
