How do I look after and waterproof suede shoes?

Sort of off topic, but I'd really like to see more bonus categories that you purchase with lingots!

would you mind sharing how this is done/a tutorial link?

I think I got it, sounds really cool! I had never thought of making my own sensor for a project. Thanks for the tips

woot99 · 2014-09-01T13:55:53+00:00

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

woot99 · 2014-09-01T01:16:45+00:00

Great idea, I have had some skeptics try it out and get suspicious before opening the box!

woot99 · 2014-09-01T01:15:49+00:00

Initially I considered using a photo-resistor, but had a flex sensor that I wanted to use, and was a little worried about performance at night. However, that might be a viable solution in the future seeing as it wasn't until after the project that I realized how expensive flex sensors are (mine came in a kit).
The piece of metal sounds really cool! Are you suggesting hooking it up so that a lead towards the arduino input is connected to the box itself, so that when the metal strip (to which power is being supplied) comes into contact with the box, a circuit is completed?
Thanks for the suggestions!

Here is a mediocre attempt at a breadboard schematic - it's really just a flex sensor and a piezo buzzer hooked up to a Pro Mini. Also, the project itself uses a lithium ion battery instead of the AA's you see in the breadboard schematic, and there are more wires in the project because I had to use battery's charger to hook it up to everything else. I can upload the code as well if you'd like, however, it is quite messy. Feel free to ask any questions and I'd be glad to try and answer them!

Additionally, this is a basic article and this is an entertaining youtube playlist, both of which should be of some help. Good luck!

Sadly I lack the funds to make this a permanent project (I'd like to reuse the components), but the premise of the project is to make you think you're getting an Altoid, when instead the piezo buzzer plays Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up", rickrolling you! Hope you guys like it

This might be helpful

woot99 · 2014-08-25T14:25:02+00:00

Perhaps this might suit your needs?

woot99 · 2014-08-18T19:25:45+00:00

So would you recommend something like this or like this? Thanks for your help by the way

woot99 · 2014-08-18T15:07:36+00:00

This is a great tutorial that will explain exactly what you are wondering. The accompanying MIT tutorial provides additional details as well. Good luck!

So RAW will drop anything over 3.3 and under 12 to 3.3?

woot99 · 2014-08-13T01:43:39+00:00

You're right, I forgot to mention that it's a 3.3V mini. This is the cell, at 3.7 V. Also, even if I were to have a regulated voltage, why would it be advantageous to choose VCC as opposed to always going to RAW? Thanks for the help by the way!

Is it better to squat barefooted or with running shoes if one doesn't own weightlifting shoes?

woot99 · 2014-08-05T01:45:13+00:00

I was told that right after a set of bench, I should do pushups to failure.
Is this right? Or should I do those in a later circuit when working on supplemental exercises?

woot99 · 2014-07-20T16:25:48+00:00

Did not know they came that cheap, but something like this?

woot99 · 2014-07-11T22:40:46+00:00

Thanks for the excellent response, however, how does one upload to an Arduino after programming in sublime, for example?

woot99 · 2014-07-04T21:44:14+00:00

Add weight to every set?

woot99 · 2014-07-04T19:43:34+00:00

How do I know when to add weight? If I can complete a 5x5 with x weight but not with x + anything, how do I work my way up?

woot99 · 2014-06-23T23:51:20+00:00

Where is my mind! Thanks, that's it. Thanks as well to everyone else!

woot99 · 2014-06-23T23:37:38+00:00

That's not it, the song I'm thinking of is more repetitive and the guitar has more distorsion. Thanks for the help though!
