II. ISA Blog — Making a blog from scratch takes work, and I’m considering using
some standard framework (like Bootstrap used by...

Some Random Ideas
Haven’t checked tumblr in a while… (my computer was broken, quite frankly) so much for the excuses. I was thinking about what would be sort of a cool start-up idea.
1. how about creating a program/online social media that translates video into letters. (poor description)
Think of it as having a transcript of what you are saying in the video, except, you don’t need the...

Again from Sparkfun.com;
Hope to see and participate in some of these events in 2011-2012!!
(EDIT— August 10th, 2012) It’s amazing that I’m currently working at Media Lab!
I’ll work more towards visiting Hackerspace and pursuing the area of electronics (a.k.a. MITERS)

AirHarp →
As a musician (bass guitar player), I am deeply impressed by this instrument and wish I could learn how to play!! Also, the original article about AirHarp (from Sparkfun.com) talked about Theremin, which is the first electronic instrument that could be played without actually touching the instrument.
If you are interested in Theremin, here’s a Wikipedia link:...

A Link to Rolling Robot Transformer →
I found this video on CNN and thought this project was quite interesting.
However, the sheer cost of this project (about $20,000, I need verification on this information) surprised me.
But still, enjoy!

College Admissions made me think...
It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted!! (I wonder what I had been doing for the past month and a half :( )
My project hasn’t proceeded significantly (other than fixing some errors that occured when I turned the permanent rotation mode indefintiely) but I am preparing to present the Project Clu to the Independent Studies Committee at my school!
I will upload a powerpoint of...

The Start of a New Era: Open-Source Electronics →
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
True to the definition on the arduino.cc website, Arduino garnered worldwide recognition (at least from my perspective) for its versatility,...

WatchFinally!
January did prove to be a far more productive month than before!
Although still quite rudimentary, controlling only one servo, I cannot be happier that my AX-12 is working with the Arduino Duemilanove!
Some major issues that I faced while on the way to make it work
1. Communication issues: Arduino cannot fully execute serial communication at 1Mbps, although the ATmel 328...

WatchAnother Video of the Transformers…
Still working on making the robot move with Arduino. Currently it’s moving with CM-5, a MCU that came with the kit that I’m using.
Ultimate Goal: make the “brain” of the robot with a MCU platform with Arduino.
Current issues: Arduino runs on full-duplex, whereas the servos, AX-12 use half-duplex. (full-duplex means that serial...

WatchMy Transformers Project under action
There are four buttons, U, S, P, and R on my robot.
Pressing the “U” button, the robot will transform from a quad-ped gorilla-like robot to four-wheeled vehicle.
Pressing the “S” button, the robot will travel forward when in vehicle mode.
Pressing the “R” button, the robot will move forward in the quad-ped mode.
