Gyromatrix

Gyromatrix

This is an octagonal LED matrix made of 213 LEDs. It features sand and PIC/FLIP fluid simulations, Conway’s Game of Life, and several interactive demos. Each LED can be dimmed from 0 to 100% in 1% steps using a logarithmic brightness curve that matches human perception.
Its main components are an STM32G441 microcontroller and a BMI323 IMU. The LEDs are driven by an IS31FL3763 matrix driver.

Master Simon

Master Simon

Everyone knows the slightly annoying Simon game. I made a very simple one around 20 years ago (here). I’ve now made a new one that adds several "annoyances" to the game. The outcome is that the game is almost unplayable for a human without going crazy. Just as I wanted it to be. This tests not only your memory but also your resilience to distractions and your concentration.

Digital Analog Clock

Digital Analog Clock

This is definitely one of my favorite projects and it is hanging in my living room (as of 10 years ago it is not hanging anymore as my better half did not approve of this "hideous thing"). Read more

Air: GameBoy Advance IR controler

Air: GameBoy Advance IR controler

There are many universal remote controls out on the market. None of them have the style of a GameBoy Advance fitted with a little infrared transceiver and a functional C++ program. The name AIR comes from Advanced IR. It was published in the Make blog. Read more

µServer: 8bit webserver

µServer: 8bit webserver

This is a little HTTP Web server and a FTP file server. It is built around an 8bit AVR and a Wiznet LAN module. Once a year I get it out of the box and connect it just for the nostalgia and the delight, that it still works. Read more
