Working on an LED array, sometimes you like to see what’s happening to the signals bopping through the wires. In this case, trying to find out why the array was displaying everything correctly except that it was mirrored right-to-left. Being able to see these signals helped fix it! An oscilloscope displays voltage over time. If […]

Makerspace Phonetic Alphabet, MPA (Maker Pi Arduino)

Arduino Binary Conejo Diode Epic Fail Gif… In our weekly meeting we came up with this fun idea for a new phonetic alphabet. You probably know the one used over the air by pilots and others on voice radio, Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta… Here is one we can use for any Makerspace. We tried to […]
