Re: What's Your planned Project for 2024 ?

Well, I finally finished my Clock and it's great.. Had a few bugs to contend with, but minor issues.. I'll never have to set the clock ever again .. The clock has a RTC as well as a GPS Module. If the GPS can't get a signal, there is an additional led that will be on to indicate signal loss.. The cl...

HD Radio

I see that some cars have HD radio tuning capabilities.
Does anyone know if there is such a tuner/radio for home use ? I haven't been able to find anything..
I did find a stand alone streaming web radio. but not the same thing.

Re: ASTC 3.0 or NextGen TV..........

Just like sci-fi tv show predicted..One day in the future tv and radio will be obsolete. you never see tvs in the future. ( Star Trek, deep space9 and other such shows..) Soon they will make it so that you can't watch free tv at all.. I gave up cable because of the cost, I gave up my C-Band when the...

Re: Send Sound Across Livingroom Wirelessly

Maybe check out Rocketfish they have wireless audio transmitters. Rocketfish also makes a BT receiver that you also can connect to your stereo, I found that alone was really handy. Now i can blast jams using my tablet. They do also make wireless speaker systems. I bought a set of these for my aunt i...

UpDate >> I started populating the clock face this weekend, and since it was too cold to work outside, I spent most of the weekend wiring up the leds. did a few test runs with a simple sketch to make sure all the leds were working. I have to still wire in the hours section. the seconds is a single r...

Re: What's Your planned Project for 2024 ?

i know aboot leds.. there's even a current control on the chip driver, red leds use less current than the green or blue.. so if anything the leds should have been dimmer. Maybe my form of a matrix and the 8x8 weren't compatible. the 8x8 doesn't have any resistors in it. or maybe not using all 64 led...

AC from the w...
