HOW ROUGH YOUR LAST MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDE WAS?
– May 25th, 2012
Using an Arduino board with a data logging shield that holds an SD card for storage, an accelerometer on the front fork and some method of recording wheel speed, it’s possible to collect data about your bike ride. Then, when at home, a Python script captures the data dump and graphs it.
Wdm006 also says:
I’m in the process of building an ABS and active suspension system for mountain bikes. The first task after initial modeling and design work was to gather a lot of data for more specific design.

REMINDER: OPEN HARDWARE SUMMIT SUBMISSIONS DUE NEXT WEEK.
– May 25th, 2012
The submission deadline for the Open Hardware Summit is next Thursday, May 31st. If you’re doing something cool with open-source hardware and would like to present it as a talk, demo, or poster, check out the call for submissions and send in your proposal! The submissions are fairly informal and short (only a page or two), so there’s still time to put something together. The summit itself will be held on September 27th at Eyebeam in New York City.
Here’s some more information from the call:
The Open Hardware Summit (OHS) invites submissions for the third annual summit, to be held on September 27, 2012 at Eyebeam Art + Technology Center in New York City. The Open Hardware Summit is a venue to present, discuss, and learn about open hardware of all kinds. The summit examines open hardware and its relation to other issues, such as software, design, business, law, and education. We are seeking submissions for talks, posters, and demos from individuals and groups working with open hardware and related areas. Submissions are due by May 31, 2012 BY 11:59pm (EST). Notification of accepted proposals will happen by July 8th, 2012.
MINIMAL ARDUINO-BASED WAVETABLE SYNTH
– May 25th, 2012
This instructable shows you how to create a very simple Arduino-based sequencer with nice features:
Multiple synthesizer projects has been done for the Arduino, but few has been able to utilize the full power of the Arduino processor. DZL from GeekPhysicalwrote a 4 voice wavetable synthesizer that is one of more advanced software based synths for the Arduino. It has wavetables included (sine, saw, square and triangle) and envelopes to create beats.

ARDUINO, GPS AND DISPLAY I2C…
– May 25th, 2012
En este nuevo tutorial Arduino by ARDUTEKA, estudiamos a fondo los módulos GPS, en concreto los módulos diseñados por LIBELIUM, para aprender a extraer y comprender todas las tramadas de datos que recibimos de los GPS y posteriormente, tratar esa información para mostrar en un display con bus i2Cdatos como la latitud, longitud, altura y hora UTC…

OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE CONVENTION 2012 MADRID: CALL FOR PAPERS
– May 25th, 2012
The Open Source Hardware, Electronics and Robotics Convention is a 3-day event organized by the Synusia collective. The aim of the Convention is to extend the Open Source Software and to promote electronics and the philosophy of “do it yourself”. The event will take place in Madrid at the Centro de Formación Padre Piquer, from the 21 to 23 September 2012. During the Convention, visitors will be able to attend and participate in lectures, workshops, round table discussions, and exhibitions of personal projects.The Convention is currently seeking submissions for papers and talks. Deadline for papers: 23 of July.

SOCIAL JUKEBOX: A PHYSICAL CONNECTION TO SPOTIFY
– May 25th, 2012
Social Jukebox is an Arduino-powered music player tailored to allow music sharing through tangible interaction. The device, based on wooden tokens, has the aim of bring back the physical aspect of music sharing and allow multi-user listening in a social environment. The tokens have RFID chips embedded in them, so the music player can read the link to a Spotify song. The device randomly selects tokens and tracks as it goes, creating a real-life, listening experience.

“YEARS”: PLAYING WOOD’S YEAR RINGS
– May 24th, 2012
“Years” is an artwork created by Bartholomäus Traubeck that translates wood’s year rings into sound. The record player uses a system that analyse tree’s years for their strength, thickness and rate of growth. This data are mapped to a scale defined by the overall appearance of the wood and serves as basis for a generative process that outputs piano music. The system is composed by arduino, ps eye, stepper motor for moving the tonearm, vvvv and ableton live, all connected via midiyoke and/or serial.

PORTABLE AND CLOUD-BASED HEART RATE TRACKER
– May 23rd, 2012
In his blog, Charalampos describes his experience with SeeedStudio’s Grove Ear-clip Heart Rate sensor and Cosm (former Pachube) cloud service. The employed sensor is quite cheap and can detect heart pulses from the ear lobe, by measuring the infra-red light reflected by the tissue and by checking for intensity variations.
By connecting this sensor with an ADK board and, in turn, with an Android smartphone, Charalampos implemented a portable heart-rate tracker, which is used to send the recorded data to Cosm cloud service.
For more information and sample code, see here.
