The breadboard circuit has been attached attached to the end of a rotating arm and it’s streaming data back to a PC. So just as a recap, the breadboard contains a teensy 3.6, a BNO55 9DOF IMU sensor and a serial bluetooth adapter. At the moment the only values streaming to the computer are linear…
Some decent progress has been made since the last blog post. See the image of the breadboard below which shows the current state of the electronics: The small blue pcb with the four mounting holes is the BNO55 breakout board from adafruit. The vertical standing pcb is a serial bluetooth adapter and the green pcb…
Post #1 (2nd February 2019) This blog post will document the process of developing a wave sensor which I’m calling OpenWave for use on data buoys such as the one shown below: Ocean wave measurement has a wide range of applications including weather forecast model validation, warning systems for extreme weather events, testing a locations…
This circuit diagram was designed in Inkscape with all of the electrical symbols taken from the WikiMedia commons electrical symbol library. It’s got transistors, voltage sources, LEDs, resistors etc all in SVG format. There are a few steps in Inkscape to convert a circuit diagram to something that can be laser cut. Step 1: Convert…
