SAM
Simon has discovered this new tool called SAM https://www.samlabs.com and has been studying their free app for hours, creating a variety of circuits online and trying to write code. He would … Continue reading SAM

Hardware Development
Simon is fascinated by the prospective to develop his own hardware. This video is just a tiny piece of a “lecture” on the LittleBits proto modules and breadboard he gave … Continue reading Hardware Development
Infrared remote controlling littleBits
Simon was experimenting with changing sound frequency using infrared light today. The light sensor in his electric circuit reacts to any light, including infrared light. Different remote controls resulted in … Continue reading Infrared remote controlling littleBits
LittleBits are still around
When Simon wants some rest from the brainpower consuming Arduino he switches back to the simpler LittleBits. This is just one of the many little things he built over the … Continue reading LittleBits are still around
Two more Arduino Starter Kit projects
The Color Mixing Lamp project uses three photoresistors covered with colored film. The voltage is proportional to the ratio of their resistances (they act like light sensors). I had to … Continue reading Two more Arduino Starter Kit projects
Run, electron, run!
Last Wednesday our wonderful chemistry teacher John Maas was here again to give his monthly workshop. This time we asked him to take electricity under the loupe, talk about what … Continue reading Run, electron, run!
Arduino Uno!
Simon got his real Arduino tonight and sat down studying it until (way past) bedtime.
Simon studied prototype modules today
In this video Simon explains the use of the LittleBits proto module (a module that can be worked on to make your own new module) using a graph he made … Continue reading Simon studied prototype modules today
switch() case
This is a beautiful example of Simon’s first daring steps to create his own codes with Arduino. He wanted to make the computer (the serial monitor) say “Yes” once the … Continue reading switch() case
Secret box full of logic gates
Simon explains how to build a circuit for a secret safe, a LittleBits project he saw on the internet. He is very fond of logic gates (XOR, Double AND, inverter) … Continue reading Secret box full of logic gates
Simon wrote this code himself.
And it worked! It makes the number bit go up to 99.
