One Arduino Handheld to Rule Them All

There’s nothing quite as annoying as duplicated effort. Having to jump through the same hoops over and over again is a perfect way to burn yourself out, and might even keep you from tackling the project that’s been floating around in the back of your mind. [Alain Mauer] found that he’d build enough Arduino gadgets that were similar enough he could save himself some time by creating a standardized piece of hardware that he can load his code du jour on.

He’s come to call this device the Arduino Nano QP (which stands for Quick Project), and now it’s part of the 2019 Hackaday Prize. [Alain] doesn’t promise that it’s the perfect fit for everything, but estimates around 85% of the simple Arduino projects that he’s come up with could be realized on QP. This is thanks to the screw terminals on the bottom of the device which let you easily hook up any hardware that’s not already on the board.

The QP board itself has the ubiquitous 16×2 character LCD display (complete with contrast control trimmer), seven tactile buttons arranged in a vaguely Game Boy style layout, and of course a spot to solder on your Arduino Nano. All of which is protected by a very slick laser cut acrylic case, complete with retained buttons and etched labels.

We’ve seen no shortage of handheld Arduino devices, but we have to admit, something about the utilitarian nature of this one has us intrigued. We wouldn’t mind having one of these laying around the lab next time we want to do a quick test.

The oscillator accessory comes in a separate bag, which you can slot over the telescopic handle for carrying around. The telescopic ball collector that holds 20 balls when extended is strapped to the side, and at the rear of the Slinger are two wheels with a telescopic handle for wheeling it around.

Yann Guidon / YGDES wrote a reply on project log #007 - TinyDice - Dice on an ASIC.The Slinger Bag has a unique luggage-like design, and alongside the ball machine firing section, it has storage for around 144 tennis balls directly above it.Īt the rear of the bag, there is a top loading racket compartment section that holds three rackets and then several accessory compartments on the sides to store the charger, the remote key fob, the phone holder and other bits and pieces.

PROLEVEL RC PROFESSIONAL

This complete user experience gives TestLogger a very professional feel, and we can’t wait to see where takes it from here. But for those who are more interested in driving than delimiting, there’s also a very slick website that will let users upload and compare their data. There’s also support for a trackside IR beacon that allows TestLogger to record lap times.Īll of the data is stored on TestLogger’s SD card in standard CSV files, which makes it easy for us hacker types to parse and analyze. Right now, says TestLogger can record not only obvious elements like battery level and throttle, but also more esoteric variables such as steering input, individual drive wheel speed, angular velocity, and even g-force in three dimensions. So what kind of variables are there to record on a 1/8th or 1/12th scale car? Don’t be fooled by their diminutive wheelbases, the modern RC car relies on an impressive amount of technical wizardry that benefits from a close eye.

PROLEVEL RC DRIVER

The gadget allows the driver to easily record a wealth of data about the vehicle during races, giving them valuable insight into the vehicle’s performance. His entry into the 2019 Hackaday Prize, TestLogger, aims to bring that same kind of technology to the world of RC racing. But even in less dire circumstances, the complete record of the aircraft’s performance versus what was commanded of it by the pilot can be used to fine tune performance or detect faults before they become serious.Īs a data engineer for professional motorsports, knows similar recorders can be just as useful for vehicles stuck here on terra firma. We’re all familiar with the “Black Box” used on commercial aircraft, the flight data recorder which captures the minutia of each and every flight on the off-chance that it’s needed in the event of an accident.
