Making an Electronic Phenakistoscope Pt 2

When I last left off I had just received the hardware and ordered my laser cut pieces. The next set if components I needed were the electronics. For this I headed over to Adafruit.com. I picked up a Trinket 5v microcontroller, and a 4-pack of the RGB Neopixels.

Making an Electronic Phenakistoscope

I've started a new project over the past few weeks creating an electronic phenakistoscope. This is actually a project I started many years ago and failed, so I'm giving it another go. I will have a few videos on my YouTube channel once I get this completed, but I can get into more detail here...

Robotic Drawing Arm - Part 1

This is going to be the first post of an ongoing project of a robotic drawing arm. For a little bit of background, I've been working on a fairly complicated robotic project over the last few years, basically a 16 servo, 4-legged walking robot...
