CODEMOTION THE EVENT OPEN TO ALL LANGUAGES AND TECHNOLOGIES

17 febbraio 2012 - Fonte: http://ilblogdidami.blogspot.com/
Codemotion is the event open to all languages and technologies. It is the evolution of Javaday Roma, which after four editions has become the event of the art of programming.
The first edition of Codemotion has been in March 2011 and over 2000 people, 25 communities and 22 sponsor firms have become members.
During Codemotion 2011 there have been 65 talks on: gaming, mobile, hacking,  os, tools, what’s hot, language and innovation.
The second edition of Codemotion will be held on 23rd and 24th March and there will be two main innovations: the lengthening of activities from one to two days and the fact that two events will be held simultaneously in Rome and Madrid.
Codemotion’s program will be defined through Call for Paper which is open to everyone. The proposals’...

Easy Arduino POV

10 febbraio 2012 - Fonte: http://ilblogdidami.blogspot.com/
This is a simple project about making a simple POV project using arduino.

What is POV?
 POV stand for Persistence Of Vision and here is a simple definition from wikipedia:
Persistence of vision is the phenomenon of the eye by which an afterimage is thought to persist for approximately one twenty-fifth of a second on the retina.
The POV can be used to write letters simply blinking LEDs.

About the project --> hardware
In the hardware side we only need to connect 7 LEDs to the pins from 2 to 8.

About the project  ---> software
First of all we need a array that contains the matrix of the font that we will write using POV.
This is a simple matrix that we're going to use for the...

Driving a polygon motor

31 dicembre 2011 - Fonte: http://ilblogdidami.blogspot.com/
Hi, today I have a project for driving a polygon motor that use an NBC3111.
I made a this video about the project:


The arduino code is really simple:

void setup(){
 pinMode(2, OUTPUT);

void loop(){
 digitalWrite(2, HIGH);
 delayMicroseconds(50);

Arduino and processing led blinking following music rythm

28 ottobre 2011 - Fonte: http://ilblogdidami.blogspot.com/
Hi,
Today I'm writing about a simple project with Arduino and Porcessing to blink 5 LEDs following the music rythm.
To do it we need an audio librari for processing called minim, (created by Damien di Fede) and we need the Firmata library for communicating to Arduino.
For this project you need:
-Arduino board
-5 LEDs (1,8-2v)
-5 220ohm resistors
-breadboard
-some wires
-arduino library for processing (http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Interfacing/Processing)
-minim audio library(http://code.compartmental.net/minim/distro/minim-2.0.2-lib.zip)

First of all prepare the simple connections...

Hi,
I'm creating a new javascript library to return the user position (state, city).
If you want to join the project, send me an e-mail to damianoandre@gmail.com or comment.
To have more information visit http://code.google.com/p/geopos/ (the project page).
I hope you enjoy this idea :)

Arduino and Processing serial communication

3 ottobre 2011 - Fonte: http://ilblogdidami.blogspot.com/

This a tutorial about serial communication between processing and arduino.
There are two way to communicate from processing to arduino:
-Using "arduino" library in processing and "Firmata" library in arduino
-Using serial library in processing and arduino
In this tutorial I will use the second way because so you haven't to use any extra library.
First of all connect a potentiometer to arduino like in this image:

Processing

30 luglio 2011 - Fonte: http://ilblogdidami.blogspot.com/

Processing is a programming language based on java, created to manage interactive files and media.
This is the official site http://processing.org/.
You can download the IDE from the official site and you have not to install it.





To run Processing's program you only have to install JVM (Java Virtual Machine).
With the IDE you can export your program to .exe or to an html file that include the program...
