Newsflash

Hi there ! Last week I had final exams at my secondary grammar school, so I want to apologize for inactivity, but there was no time for that. Good news is that I passed, and I've been accepted to the Brno University of Technology, so I'll be moving to Brno during summer. Thing is that I have almost 4 months of summer in front of me, so I will try to build as many cool things as possible, thanks for your support :).

PF 2013 !

I want to wish you all a great year full of joy and happiness !

From my perspective year 2012 was really good, I feel like I moved to a next level with my skills and everything. I build my best project yet - Bracerbot, which is still not finished, but I am really happy that I was able to bring my ideas to real world. Good news is that for Christmas I got tablet with the pen ! At first I thought I wouldn't be able to fully use it since I'm not an artist, but then I sketched some things and here you can see some things that come out. So I will maybe create new category called concepts for things that I have in mind, but I can't really realize them.

So what's next in 2013 ? Well I hope a lot more projects that you will like (I will probably start with that Biped on picture).

Merry Christmas

I want to wish you all Merry Christmas !

Raspberry Pi

Hi ! First of all I would like to thank all of you, because I've recently hit 50,000 views on youtube ! It makes me proud and motivates me to do more and better stuff.

Next important thing is that my Raspberry Pi has finally arrived ! (it took 75 days) Original one that I've ordered got lost, so they had to send new one, on the other hand it's probably even better, because they've send me new model B with 512 MB RAM. I've already bought HDMI cable, Acrylic case and SD card. I want to make my raspberry fully portable, so expect some mods in near future, for that reason I've ordered this mini bluetooth keyboard with mouse pad from ebay. It's small, portable, wireless and uses only one USB port.

Servo Breakout Board

Hi ! I am currently working on something big, so I apologize for not being active for some time.

I can't tell you what exactly I am working on, because it's sort of a secret. Only thing I can tell you is that it uses 8 servos. Well I am a lazy person and I don't like to attach servos. So I've decided to make a small breakout board that will allow me to test up to 12 servos easily with separate power source. It's quiet easy project that I put it together in one evening but it is quiet useful. I also want to tell you that I've finally ordered my Raspberry Pi so after I will receive it there will be some projects using it, because I really want to learn to program in Python. So sorry for less posts and I will try my best to finish this secret project ASAP.

AR.Drone

Hi there. First of all, I would like to apologize for almost 2 months of inactivity. I had lot of other things, but I was working on a new project. Unfortunately it's not finished yet.

 

Awesome thing is that I get an AR.Drone for my birthday, to be honest quadrocopter had been in my mind for quiet some time. I'm really excited about working/playing with it. I also found a processing and arduino libraries for it. I'm considering to buy a wi-fi xbee radio to control this drone with arduino. And about that project I mentioned above, I hope that it will be finished soon.

Info

Hi there you've surely noticed that there has been no new posts, that's because I've got some health issues but don't be scared it's nothing serious. There will be no post for a week. So thanks for your support and please wait :}

Fritzing

Hi there recently I’ve found something very interesting it’s a program called Fritzing. Fritzing is actually program that helps you create your circuits and schematics. It uses three types of view : Breadboard, schematic and PCB. This program is very intuitive and also it has Arduino in the library so can use Fritzing to create Arduino schematics and then also you can upload them to the Fritzing server. I think that the best about Fritzing is that it is Free application it’s still evolving and online community is very huge.

Here’s the site of Fritzing : http://fritzing.org/

So when I’ve watched the video of what can Fritzing actually do, I’ve decided to make schematics of my project I’ve posted here earlier so everybody can make it.

Blog is finally here

So finally I’ve decided to create my own blog, where you will be able to find all of my projects, gadgets, videos and tutorials. I hope that you will like things you will see here.
