Electronics Projects

Various electronics gizmos and gadgets.

Cuphead Wall Art

I took the spare Cuphead playfield and added addressable LEDs along with an ESP32 to make multiple lightshows. There is also a sound board that will determine the amount of ambient sound and make the bonus trees go up and down like a VU meter so that the art interacts with music.

Holographic Fan

Cuphead needed a topper so I programmed a holographic fan to display images to attract players to the game.

Pinball Clock

I had some spare Williams score reels so I designed this pinball clock that uses a real time clock, Arduino and MOSFETs to drive the reels.

Apollo DSKY

This is a cool project that I built and modified from an instructable to build a functional Apollo Guidance Computer. I modified it so that it has a GPS and can be used to actually navigate to a given location on Earth. It mostly functions as a clock with date, time and temperature. There are also simulations built in like this one that displays what the Apollo 11 LM showed during the landing with the radio voice track playing along.

Binary Clock

This is a pic84 based binary clock. There is no rtc so to keep accurate time assembly was needed to be able to know execution times. Everything is cooler in an Altoids tin. More details here.

Mobile Guitar Amp

This is a little headphone amp that can be plugged directly into a guitar and output to headphones for private practice. Click here for more details
