Ask/Show HN: embedded projects

7 pointsby nikmobialmost 10 years ago
I like to work on small embedded projects using AVR microcontrollers. Currently I&#x27;m working on enabling RFID entry for my front door, and the last project I created a remote for my Ubuntu desktop computer to control nextflix while in bed.<p>So, since I don&#x27;t often see things like this on HN, how about we share our embedded projects, interesting resources, or anything related. Arduino included!

Hi, as people say, the best is to do a detailed writeup (for your future self, when you want to fix your project a few months down the line and realize your forgot all the pinouts and such...)<p>For this you have a bunch of options:<p>Blog: having a blog is great, and that would be my first recommendation. Set up any kind of blog (roll your own, or Tumblr&#x2F;Blogspot&#x2F;Wordpress&#x2F;Github pages...). This definitely have a long term benefit, and you are pretty much independent of any platform. An example, here are the maker projects from my blog: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gergely.imreh.net&#x2F;blog&#x2F;category&#x2F;maker&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gergely.imreh.net&#x2F;blog&#x2F;category&#x2F;maker&#x2F;</a><p>Instructables: It&#x27;s pretty good for sharing projects, especially hands-on stuff, even smaller, bite-sized instructions of a particular thing you did, or full projects. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.instructables.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.instructables.com</a><p>Hackster: One of the newer platforms, it&#x27;s great to see that it&#x27;s aimed at hardware, so you can see for example &quot;what other things people made with Arduino?&quot; or any other platform. This looks like more of a place for detailed project, and besides your blog, this could be a good place for showing off your learning, and learn from others (they strongly encourage sharing schematics &amp; code too, not just description) <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hackster.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hackster.io&#x2F;</a><p>Hackaday.io: this could probably be a very inspiring environment. A lot of projects are shared there, can get other people to collaborate on something you are making, can see a lot of really hard-core designs - perfect to learn from!! <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hackaday.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hackaday.io</a><p>I&#x27;m sure there are more than these, I kinda use these ones, for personal projects, for things that we do at our local hackerspace, and for work as well (an embedded hardware company).<p>Good luck, and have a great time!

The best way to share it is usually a write up explaining how you did it. Include the source code, some pictures, explain the progress and just try to share your excitement.<p>If you just drop a link to a Github repository with a very minimal Readme file only a few people, usually the ones already familiar with the topic, will even click through to see the source code.
