In order that the MonomeSerial software `sees` the monome clone, it`s necessary to change the serial number of the arduino`s EEPROM to resemble the serial number of a real monome. I successfully followed Melka`s instructions that have been posted on the bricktable blog (update: the bricktable blog instructions have been updated, you should follow

those instructions rather than my version here). I installed the D2XX drivers on my winXP laptop first, following instructions in this PDF. This part requires you to have the arduino plugged into the PC via the usb cable. NB. while following these instructions the `found hardware wizard` will run twice, this is normal, just point it to the directory that contains the drivers you downloaded both times. There is 2 protocols described on the monome site, and the 64/128/256 seems to be more complete (15 message IDs, 9 for the 40h protocol), so maybe you`d better use m256-xxx I`ve been adjusting the MAX test code, to gets the lights moving in different ways. While doing this I noticed that if a row is asked to light seven or eight of its LEDs at once, all the lights go out and I have to reset the arduino to get it going again. I`d like to find out why that is. The button pad PCBs are all soldered up and all the components are in place in the breadboard version of the controller. To test that the MAX chip was working and wired up correctly, I uploaded this code to the arduino. The MAX7219 has `DIG` pins and `SEG` pins, corresponding to the two axes of the LED matrix. The SEG pins supply voltage to the grid, and the DIG pins act as ground sinks. The SEG pins are named A to G and the eighth pin is called SEG DP. The DP pin should come first in the sequence, not last (the way I wired it first). So I used a chisel and hammer. Which...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
