The 2019 Christmas Card
Ho ho ho! Is that time of the year again, and we have made a new Christmas Card. As you might see, the Card is rather influenced by our services and what we have made previous years. Electronics The Schematic are…
How to go from an irregular form to a technical illustration
A common challenge is how you can go from a free hand drawing to a more technical correct illustration. In this blog post we are going to show you a process you can use to go from a simple hand…
Measuring Frequency With a Digital Multimeter
We have written about using regular Digital Multimeters (DMMs) to measurements common things such as Voltage, Current, Resistance and much more. Those post can be checked out here or here! But in this post we will look deeper into an…
SNMP Temperature Monitoring System – Hardware Update
1 Comment
As written about earlier (Do It Yourself: SNMP Temperature Monitoring System) we use the SNMP monitoring nodes in several use cases here at Norwegian Creations. However the blog post does only a minimal hardware setup with a temporary connection method…
Arduino as a Stepper Motor Controller – Jogging with acceleration
As we have written about earlier: Jogging a stepper motor with an encoder can easily be accomplished with an Arduino. In this post will we show how a simple “stepper motor jogging-system” can be enhanced with acceleration and de-acceleration. Introduction…
Using a simple Arduino to measure capacitor value
As you probably read in this post, capacitance is a measure of the ability to store energy. They are among other things used in rectifiers, as bypass devices and in analog filter circuits. They are super-important components and critical for…
Arduino as a Stepper Motor Controller – Speed and Position Control With a Potentiometer
Not long ago, we published a blog post related to this topic. The difference is that the previous blog post used a rotary encoder to jog the stepper motor. This time we’ll swap out the rotary encoder with an ordinary…
Arduino as a Stepper Motor Controller – Jogging Using a Rotary Encoder
In this post we’ll show you a simple example on how to use a rotary encoder to move a stepper motor in real time, aka. jogging. This will be done using a standard stepper motor driver, but without any shields…
Arduino FFT pt. 2: Improving the Hardware for Real-time Analysis
One and a half year back we wrote an introductory blog post about FFT and Arduino, which today is one of our most popular blog posts. This time we’ll upgrade the hardware to a Teensy 3.2 and see which advantages…
Avoiding Coincident Face Rendering Artifacts Using Dielectric Priority in Autodesk Fusion 360
This is a short tutorial on how to avoid unwanted rendering behavior for coincident faces in Fusion 360. However, this is a principle that probably will work elsewhere as well, given you have access to similar dielectric priority options. One…
How to Easily Model Wires and Tubes in Autodesk Fusion 360
In this blog post we’ll show you how to create wires and tubes in different ways. We’ll start with laying everything on a flat surface, then on an uneven surface and lastly mix things up a bit more. These methods…
LED Matrix with Rolling Particles – Technical Insights and Finishing Touches
In our latest blog post we wrote about the enclosure on this “LED Matrix with Rolling Particles”. But how is it to use? And what happens on the inside? Continue to read this post to find out! What Does It…
LED Matrix with Rolling Particles – Overview and Enclosure
Making a device with an LED matrix is something we have wanted to do for a while now, and now we’ve finally gotten around doing it. The way we usually do it with these kinds of quick-builds is to use…
The 2018 Christmas Card
Last year we made a Christmas card heavily influenced by our fields of expertise and what we deliver. This year was no exception! What’s new this year, among other things, is the different design, and that there exists several variants…
A First Impression of Tinkercad Circuits
We have written about Tinkercad on our blog before. This is a free CAD-platform for beginners which is very easy to use, but doesn’t have many features. Recently, we became aware of something called Tinkercad Circuits (“TC” henceforth), which is…
