Internet Controlled movable Webcam

July 7, 2014 | ANDREW WIENS | 2 comments

I finally got around to putting this back up on my new site.  The following sections detailing this project were written when I actually built it and had it working in 2005 (before commercial swivel webcams became really cheap). The idea was to build a cheap, internet-controlled swivel base for a webcam without an analog to digital converter or any complicated logic circuitry. This writeup may be a bit confusing. Sorry, it was middle school ;)

Hardware

This project actually stemmed from an idea to build an internet-controlled robot. Figuring I should first familiarize myself with programming the Printer Port, I decided to start with something simple and cheap. Using a junked gearmotor and a cannibalized mini-tripod, I have built an internet-controlled swivel

Luckily it was a clear morning when I along with my other four friends (Ravi, Sumit, Ananda and Dipen ) started to move to our destined stop- GHANDRUK.

Talking about Ghandruk, it is a village situated at the top of hill, moreover its village of Gurung families. Someone may think that Ghandruk may be some old type village of hills.

How to improve reading habits

May 28, 2014 | Bodhi Tree | 0 comments

Before reading a difficult piece of writing, take a few moments to close your eyes and relax while taking two or three deep breaths.
