Here’s a fun Golf POV (Persistence of Vision) application you can make
and learn about LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) and basics of electronic
circuits. The CUBLOC CB220 and CB220 Proto-Board is used in this
example.
As you can see in the above pictures, a simple golf swing
can produce desired letters or images. You can modify this app to
work on a tennis racket, motorized POV, or anything that moves faster
than the eye can see.

You can also check out the Nike ad using this golf POV.

Internet Controlled Security Robot

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

http://cubloc.com/image/app/security-bot-cool.jpg

Wow, here’s a cool internet controlled security robot using CUBLOC
CB280
, CuBASE 32M, CLCD420B, and a MAXPORT. Thanks Shelato!

There are two components to the interface. One a Visual basic program that sends and receives commands to the cubloc. Two, the cubloc program that receives the commands, controls the cubloc and turns the outputs on and off.

The fully load version on the test stand. It runs wireless!!!!!!!! However, I’m tethered to the power supplies for the Linksys router and Cubloc power supply. Next weekend we go to full battery power.

The Maxport is sticking out the backend of truck connected to the Linksys router through the blue ethernet cable. 2 Green lights can been seen on the Cubloc. The LCD display is in the passanger window.
