Arduino TouchScreen Test 1

This is a simple test of a 4-Wire resistive touchscreen connected to an Arduino MEGA running a simple Paint application that I wrote in Processing.



The Arduino code was based on the code from this website:

(The website will need translation, however, the video and code are there)

The processing app I wrote is a derivative of the Virtual Color Mixer code found here:

Stay tuned for more shortly....

Interactive LED Test 1 - More than just a table!

A while ago I saw some Interactive LED table videos that kinda got me thinking "I should build one of these..." so I did some research and started playing around with IR LED's as sensors. The idea being that the table we use to play cards on could do with some spicing up...

This video shows the first test of a reverse biased IR led used as an IR sensor to power some green LED's. This is the first step to making an interactive LED table using a fairly simple circuit.



(Oh and sorry about the portrait video, I filmed it with my iPhone)

More tests to come...
