Bike Flasher Light – Part 1

Today I will talk about another little project I working on, that is a simple flash light to put on my bike and in my inline skates. The project consists in a few parts:

  1. The circuit of flasher;
  2. The case of the circuit;
  3. Instalation.

You may think, why I don’t just buy a flasher light ? Well, I’m a nerd and love to build things, and build a custom flasher light is a little project where you can learn about electronics, and you know, it’s just fun, :).

Self Controller Android-Arduino Car – Part 1

Hello guys, today I show a new project I’m working on. It is still in early stages, but when something more advanced I will make new posts.

The idea is to pick an old remote control car, replace your controller by an arduino and integrate with a android phone. The phone will be the brain of the car, which can perform some tasks, such as locating by GPS or based on a destination coordinate, control the car to reach this point.

Welcome Back!

It’s been awhile that I don’t write anything on the blog, fortunately for good reasons. Many things happened in the past months, and the blog was left out, but I never forgot it. I was at the end of my undergraduate course, numerous tasks to finish, some projects, both personal and work… Well, many things.

In July of last year I asked to get in the University of Minas Gerais, to enter in Masters of Computer Science in the field of Robotics and Computer Vision, and was with great happiness that I knew about my approval. All was novelty since then, new city, bigger and full of possibilities, with new challenges and a entire world ready to be studied and experienced.

Well, the intent here, and from now, is talk a little more about the new life, about my studies and everything that this can be involved. Hope you enjoy.

[Bike] – Life Style

This blog was just to put my projects and studies, but, it can be more than that and show some other parts of me. And now I’m starting to talk about one of my loves, the cycling.

Today was special, because was the first time I was cycling with my father, we see my mom, in your rest place. We did around 47 km in 2:24 h, what is really nice, with my new bike e he with your Speed.

Skeleton Viewer

After weeks of development, a new version of Skeleton Viewer was released, and various features was added, like limits and the possibility to save the captured data. And finally, the system can be tested in a clinical center to check your capabilities.

Skeleton Viewer is a system that can gauge angles and stability with help of sensors, to be applied in some physiotherapy treatments and physical tests to help them in a few necessities, like the mesure the range of motion of joints or if a movement was made without tremor.
