Let's Make It (HD) - Tech-zen.tv episodes
- LED Light Strips and the Arduino - Tech-Zen.tvAs Christmas is coming near and the time for lights for the holidays are coming close. We look at how to control an entire 50ft roll of the RGB LED strips using an Arduino. It is much easier than you probably think.39 min
- Remembering Arduino Settings By Using The EEPROM - Tech-Zen.tvThis week we show you how to store data in the Arduino EEPROM so that it is available after the Arduino loses power and restarts. We show you how to write to the EEPROM and then how to read it back later.35 min
- Countdown Timer With An Arduino - Tech-Zen.tvThis week we create a countdown timer that can control a relay. The time is entered via a keypad and an LCD display is used for feedback and programming.We also talk about why Mike is not shaving for the month of November, it is MoVember. Also, how bad his face is going to get by the end of the month. No Laughing please.... :)34 min
- The RainbowDuino Woes - Tech-Zen.tvThis week we discuss some viewer emails, talk about the Udoo that mike got this week.Then Bob shows us the rainbowduino from Seeed Studio and talks about some of the problems he has had and also some of the things that he has still not gotten to work.44 min
- Smart Buttons In Action - Tech-Zen.tvThis week we take one of the NKK Smart Switches we showed you last week and make it do stuff. Making it work is pretty simple, we show you just how simple in this video.We also take a look at the Arduino Due and Arduino Ethernet. Also, an update on the Udoo. It is shipping and mine should be here soon.42 min
- NKK SmartSwitches and a Script Scroller - Tech-Zen.tvThis week we show you the different options that are available for the NKK Smart Switches. We have all of the different versions that are available to purchase and show you each and describe a little about each.We also show you a controller that was built over the weekend to control a script scroller for a live show Mike did the sound engineering for. I used 2 of the NKK lighted switches that we are using in our switcher.We also go back a few episodes to when we made an Arduino Leonardo emulate a keyboard and a mouse.37 min
- Motorized Faders - Tech-Zen.tvhttp://tech-zen.tv/episodes/shows/make-it-work/episodes/motorized-faders-episode-38This week we do some demonstrations on how to make a motorized fader move to where you want it to go.29 min
- Arduino Adventures And Surface Mount Soldering - Tech-Zen.tvThis week we take a look at a book specifically written to teach kids the Arduino. The book is called the Arduino Adventures. We look at a kit of parts put together specifically for this book.Then, we take a look at my adventures in surface mount soldering with some time lapse video I created while doing some flowing of solder on boards with surface mount parts.1 hr 6 min
- Stepper and DC Motor Control With Arduino - Tech-Zen.tvThis week we use an Adafruit shield to show easy it is to control a stepper motor and a DC motor. We use the rotary encoder from last week to control both the stepper motor and DC motor speed and direction.45 min
- NXP Semiconductors Interview and Rotary Encoders - Tech-Zen.tvThis week we have a jam packed episode, we have John Hull from NXP semiconductors who talks about the i2c, the protocol the history and much more. We also show how a rotary encoder works in preparation for next week's show.1 hr 9 min
About Let's Make It (HD) - Tech-zen.tv
From the publisher's feed
Let's Make It is a show that is all about making things, in particular electronic things. During this show we will be using things like Arduinos, PIC chips and Raspberry Pie's to make all kinds of electronic gadgets.
We are making these gadgets to learn how they work. Not technical, not to worry, we are going to start really simple and teach you as we go along. All it requires is a desire to want to learn some programming and electronics.
This show is hosted by Mike Myers of Genius Idea Studio. Mike has many years of designing hardware and developing software for the hardware.
If you have ever followed the Maker Community then this show is for you. Want to learn some basic programming and electronics? This is the show to get you started.
