Simple toy projects based on the Fritzing creator kit and some additional parts.
Contains the Arduino, Processing and Fritzing sketches.
See my Google+ album for demo images and movies.
Use a seven segment display to show digits. The buttons toggle between different modes.
Show a countdown on a seven segment display and start a motor. Combines parts from the Fritzing creator kit with others from the Kosmos Easy Electronic box.
A photo sensor in the head of the Fritzing Cardboard Bot is used to find the brightest spot. This can be used to track a flashlight.
A Processing sketch which uses the Arduino firmata firmware. Uses a webcam and OpenCV for Processing to detect faces. Makes the Fritzing Cardboard Bot always look at you.
Uses the photo sensor to build a light barrier to measure lap times of a slot car racer. Lap and race times are shown on a 16x2 character display and printed on the serial port. The Arduino can be used standalone. You can additionally use the Processing sketch to overlay a webcam capture of your race with the race times.
Switches at the start and end of the track of a Fischertechnik Dynamic marble run measure the run time. A motor controller stops the motor when the marble reaches the top and starts the run when a button is pressed. The processing sketch overlays a webcam image with the run time. In true IoT style, the marble run also has a ThingSpeak channel.
