homemade arduino printer

Image
If you want to make your own high resolution printer (maybe not so high res), you are at the right place. This Instructable will show you how to do with two dead cd/dvd drive and a pen (pilot, whiteboard marker, whatever you have) at the best lego-printer style.Here is how our printer will work: we type any message in terminal then the message will be printed (as dot matrix) and after the message is printed the program will wait for another message. For this magnificent printer you will need:1) 1 x Arduino (I've used the Duemilanove)2) 2 x H-Bridge (SN754410)3) 3 x small dc motors from any cd/dvd drive4) 3 x switches from the same cd/dvd drive5) A pen or marker6) Wire7) Rubber string8) Sheave9) Stick with round rubber like the rollers in a real printer, the wheels from a toy car should work.10) Acrylic, wood or whatever seal you have to build the structure.11) 5v and 9v power supplyIf you have an old printer you can use its structure and save some time to build one. Once you have ...

incontinence toilet talk.

Image
You read last month's article in EP on potty training and were totally motivated to start the process. Then you realized you had no equipment, were not sure how to transfer or position your child, and didn't know what to do about inaccessible clothes. Well, here we are to help you out! We spoke with many parents scoped out different trade shows, and researched options and strategies to make potty training and toileting a little bit easier. We hope packaging you find some helpful tips in the following article. Transfers Transferring from wheelchair seat to toilet takes time, so plan ahead! If you wait until it is urgent, you cannot take the time needed to perform the safest, most independent transfer possible. Use a schedule to decrease the urgency of the transfer so you feel successful and continue toward independence The ultimate goal is for the child to be as independent as possible. At home, there is lots of space as well as privacy and you know it is clean. You wil...

arduino light following robot

Overview This instructable will use three photoresistors (light dependent resistors) and an Arduino to control the motion of a robot. Any common robot chassis can be used for the robot. The light sensors will be mounted on the left side, right side and front of the robot. When light of sufficient intensity falls on a sensor, the robot will respond with a left turn, right turn or forward movement, corresponding to the location of the sensor that is activated. The instructable will also pass along some electronics tips that I have found useful and, hopefully, will prove useful to others. List of Materials: 3x Light Dependent Resistors 3x 250K trimmers (potentiometers) 3x Three pin sensor cables 1x Duemilanove or compatible Arduino board #. UzImtdhOWM8 1x DFRobot motor shield shield&product_id=69#.UzInGthOWM8 1x Arduino proto shield 1x Robot Chassis 2x 4"x6" Proto boards Various standoffs and hardware. A good kit can be found at#.UzIrrNhOWM8 The standoffs used...

a day in the life of a creative renaissance woman

Image
(Oprah.com) -- At the small worktable in Anna Rabinowicz's sunny Manhattan office, smooth slices of agate -- some as small as coins, others as big as dinner plates, in swirling shades of sapphire, rust, and olive -- mingle with wrist-thick hunks of faceted crystal, three knobby yellow gourds, and a dried version of Anna's latest muse."A neat thing about sea fans," says Anna, 39, who is wearing silver sea-fan-shaped earrings, "is how they move." She imitates the door meshlike creature's undulations with her hand. "They're at the whim of the current; they get their nutrients from whatever happens to pass through." She lifts the stainless steel colander/fruit bowl she recently designed based on her sea fan research, its sides veined with silver tendrils. If a sea fan mated with a Rolex, this would be the result. I'm spending today dipping a toe into the ocean of Anna's creative output -- and the colander is just one of the creatures ...

Shooting in the dark?

Image
Bang bang he shot me down,Bang bang I hit the ground,Bang bang that awful sound,Bang bang my baby shot me down…"I know I have been shot. It's pitch dark, except for a flurry of lights whizzing past. There's another gun trained on me. I grip mine tighter, position my finger on the trigger and just when I feel life seeping back it's my turn to shoot — this time, at my best friend. Ten minutes later the lights come on, we high five and walk out grinning from my first-ever game of laser tag.So, what's that, you ask? It's the game Barney made popular cable in the series How I Met Your Mother and involves teams of players shooting each other with radio frequency and infra-red emitting guns. "Phaser, not gun," corrects an amused 14-year-old who can't seem to get over the vast difference in our totals. The opposing team scored 52,750, and my team…well, lets not even go there. 15,000 points too short, and my individual score, a paltry 4,125. (But hey I ...

wimi hologram ar cloud display exhibits stunning effects and high ai algorithm simulation other article from business

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CHINA, (June 17, 2019) /ACN Newswire/ - Gorgeous stage lighting, realistic visual experience, whether it is the paradise of the petals or the fighting scenes of lightning and thunder, the use of holographic projection technology allows the audience to travel freely in different virtual scenes, and taste the magical stage drama contained Chinese folk culture in the ultimate sensory experience. The holographic stage drama created by WIMI Hologram AR is in full swing. With the burst of exclamation, the effect of the entire AI holographic cloud display is very choking. The character simulation effect is consistent with the real person, ultimately showing the simulation effect. Holographic technology, also known as virtual imaging technology, is a technique for recording and reproducing real three-dimensional images of objects using interference and barrier diffraction principles. It is a three-dimensional imaging technique that uses coherent light interference to...

By Lydia Slater for The Mail on Sunday Published: 18:45 EDT, 7 October 2013 | Updated: 18:47 EDT, 8 October 2013 As the courier van pulls up outside her front door, Kim Searle jumps to her feet with a squeak of excitement. The driver hands her a white package. Holding her breath, eyes shining with excitement, she eagerly rips it open. Out pops a printer cartridge in its dull grey plastic shrink wrap package that she'd ordered few days metal earlier. Kim heaves a disappointed sigh. 'Oh well, better luck next time,' she smiles. And there's a very good chance she will have better luck next time, because Kim has been winning competitions — for all sorts of prizes — for 25 years. Barely a day goes by without some freebie being delivered to her door. She's won prizes to the value of £100,000, including a lavish trip to Disneyland and a canteen of gold- plated cutlery. Yet she still gets the same adrenaline rush whenever she sees the postman, wheth...

How Much Does It Cost To Start A Business?

Building a business in the modern world can be hard due to the fierce competition in all industries. This competition often forces small-scale businesses, who lack funding, to shut down. We all know the commonly told statistic that around 90% of startup companies fail within their first few years. Although this may sound daunting, it does not mean that all innovators need to abandon their business dreams—quite the opposite really. Those individuals who are interested in the business world simply need to understand how much it costs to start up a business. By knowing the relative costs, they will be able to spend their money wisely and hopefully turnover more profits. This, in turn, ought to allow them to survive in this harsh business climate. Quite often we see businesses failing as they have failed to pay attention to the finer details. As such, I would like to explore the protective costs of these finer details which, more often than not, can determine the success or failure of a...
