Fox hunting with bricks
ARDF: Amateur Radio Direction Finding. At the Foxhunting in the Berglwald region next to Munich, 10 foxes – distributed in a wood area- must be found. There are 5 larger and 5 small foxes. The “fox” is a small transmitter, using morse code to identify it. Within 2 hours all foxes need to be found. […]

Let’s build 8 Bit
Why doing ‘Let’s build’? Well, just because it’s such great fun and reminds us of our own childhood. It all started with a large box with Brick’R’knowledge RGB Bricks standing in the middle of our office. We racked our brains to figure out what to do with this amount of Bricks. We plugged creative designs […]

New sensorbricks
Since at the moment there is no faire or event, I decided to introduce two new Bricks. Both of them have a similar purpose, namely to integrate existing sensors for the Arduino as well as other components that require the assemble onto a coble, into our Brick ‘R’ knowledge system. Firstly we have the D/A Sensorbrick, […]

7 segment and incremental encoder
The arduino set contains a special building block, which is known from operating panels of instruments. In former time only potentiometers were available, for example to be used for audio settings, but when selecting a menue a different way is ncessary. In game consoles incremental devices are also used. The main advantage is that you […]

#IlluminateYourLife
Seven colors for countless possibilities. We’ve always known, that folks love colorful lightings. They feel so attracted to it, you can’t miss that fact. On every event or faire we’ve been visiting, it was obvious. The best example might be the Educamp in Stuttgart (April 2015), where not only our young audience but also lots […]

An Arduino Nano experiment
Using the Arduino Nano Brick it is possible to built very complex circuits using our brick system. At the bottom of the image an OLED is used for display and its connected at the I2C bus with a D/A converter bricht. The D/A converter offers a 12 bit resolution. The brick also has some options […]
