#1. Augmented Newspaper

Little experiment with the Vuforia Augmented Reality SDK to create a different experience with a classic newspaper.

Date: June 2014.
Used technologies: Android, Vuforia Augmented Reality SDK.

#2. Augmented Painting

Little experiment with the Vuforia Augmented Reality SDK and the painting Cafe Terrace at Night by Vincent Van Gogh.

Date: July 2014.
Used technologies: Android, Vuforia Augmented Reality SDK.

#3. Makey Makey + Protocoder

Experiment using Makey Makey and Protocoder to create an instrument.

Date: July 2014.
Used technologies: Android, Protocoder, Pure Data, Makey Makey.

#4. Protocoder + Arduino + RGB led

Experiment using Protocoder, Arduino and a RGB led.

Date: August 2014.
Used technologies: Protocoder, Arduino, RGB led.

#5. Voice controlled MiniSkybot 2

Voice controlled MiniSkybot 2 (Protocoder + Arduino + Bluetooth)

This experiment shows an easy way to control a MiniSkybot using voice recognition in Protocoder.

Protocoder recognizes the voice commands: Go, Back, Left and Right, and sends simple commands to Arduino using Bluetooth.

The source code can be found in GitHub.

Date: August 2014.
Used technologies: Android, Protocoder, Arduino, Bluetooth.

#6. Unity + Arduino + Ultrasonic Sensor

This is my first experiment with Unity, Arduino and an Ultrasonic Sensor.

This experiment try to show how to control a GameObject of a 2D Unity Game using Arduino.

Date: September 2014.
Used technologies: Unity, Arduino, Ultrasonic Sensor.

#7. Toy Hacking with Arduino

This is the result of an afternoon with my nieces and nephews experimenting with an old toy, an Arduino Micro and a roll of tape.

Date: May 2015.
Used technologies: Arduino, Servo motors, Roll of tape.

#8. Simple DIY line following robot

This is the result of an afternoon with my nieces and nephews learning how to create a simple DIY line following robot using servo motors, infrared sensors, Arduino UNO compatible board and a roll of tape.

Date: May 2015.
Used technologies: Arduino, Servo motors, Infrared sensors, Roll of tape.

#9. Hard Disk speaker

This experiment uses an old hard disk as a speaker.

Date: March 2018.
Used technologies: Arduino and NanoPlayBoard.

#10.Bluetooth Low Energy remote control for Spotify

This project allows you to configure your micro:bit to work as a Bluetooth Low Energy remote control to control an instance of Spotify running on macOS with Node.js and AppleScript.

Date: August 2018.
Used technologies: Micro:bit, Bluetooth Low Energy, Node.js and AppleScript.
