Hello ! I've just received the distance measuring sensor 8''- 60'', I couldn't find this one in the cookbook are there any guidelines how to hook these up ?...
Hi Stan, No problem. Check out our datasheet on it. http://www.makingthings.com/products/acc_datasheets/acc_ir_dist_001.htm Hope this helps. David. ... From:...
Hi can anyone help, I'm looking to develop a physical user interface that allows control signals to be generated by the hand as it passes over various sections...
Hi Dave, We've found that one of the most effective sensors is a simple photocell. I've built any number of Theremin-like interfaces just using a pair of ...
The tutorial that comes with the Flash components is for digital in and digital out. I can get it working fine. However, I have been unable to make the ...
Hi Jed, Please find below an example of a pair of analog inputs moving a symbol around the stage. I've added some comments around the critical analog in...
First of all, I am new to electronics. I just got a starter kit, and am playing around with it with the Flash library. I want to make a simple example that...
hey mike, i'm not sure i understand what your doing there but one wire from the LED needs to be connected to the 5v source the other wire from the LED needs to...
Hi Michael, Cheers for your response. What I'm looking for is a sensor or combination of sensors that can detect the users hand proximity ranging from about...
Hi David, I'm having a little trouble visualizing the setup, but it sounds like our infrared sensor might work well. It has a very narrow beam. If you need to...
I'd like to interface my Intro Teleo Module with an LED display/grid. Nothing too fancy at first--just say, a 50x50 display. I'm pretty new to this, but I'm...
Michael, Is there a way to tell the stepper controller to reset itself so that the current position becomes zero? I need to be able to run a sort of ...
Hi Tim, It's amazing how often we get asked about grids of things. Grids of sensors, grids of motors, grids of lights, you name it. Unfortunately we don't...
... A 50 by 50 array is pretty fancy. You are talking about 50*50 or 2500 LEDs. At that quantity you end up with lots of problems, from power, to wiring real...

They're there as of today, Alexander. Check them out. Please feel free to email us comments, requests, etc. ... translated into ... components have...
Hello- Firstly a big Thank You to all at Makingthings for making things which are such fun to play with. My setup is an Introductory Set with Stepper...
Hi Vince, If you're using Max then both the t.step.auto and t.step.low objects have inlets (second from the right) called Positioncurrentset, which you can...
Further to my previous post I thought I should mention that the motor i'm using is rated at 12v 0.6A and was being driven directly off the network V+ line with...
Hello Henry, First of all, the red light on the Power Module does not blink under normal operation: it should remain lit constantly. If it was blinking, that...
Hello Michael, thanks for such a clear walkthrough. I have what I hope is some good news. All power connections are secure to the system and the polarity input...
Hi Henry, I'm sorry the red LED on your Power Module has behaved erratically ever since you received it. Perhaps there is a bad solder joint or LED. Either...
Hi Michael, No worries about the red power LED. The solder connections seem secure so I guess it's just a little unsure of itself. Not really a problem at all....
Hello Henry, I'm pleased to hear that reports of the death of your Stepper Motor module are greatly exaggerated :-) I'll cut to the chase: What kind of power...
Michael, no one will be more pleased than I if it turns out that the stepper module is unharmed! Please forgive me for leaping to the conclusion that it might...
Hi there, I'm a new user attempting to utilise Teleo to measure changes in the electrical signals present in plants. These voltages are between 0 and 200m/v so...
Michael, I have finally gotten my motors working using Cocoa, and have been experimenting with the basic function calls in TeleoStepper.h, but still cannot...
