+ <p>[FlorianH] has all kinds of <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/fpgaandco/minimabl">new features to show off with this generation of his quadcopter</a> project. Just about everything has seen an upgrade or some other kind of tweak since we looked in on <a href="http://hackaday.com/2012/02/27/diy-quadcopter-for-around-200/">the last version of the aircraft</a>.</p>
201
+ <p>You&#8217;ll find some outdoor flight demo clips after the break. Right off the bat we&#8217;re impressed at the rock solid stability of the quadrotor while in flight. Even indoors the last version had a hint of a wobble as the control loop calculated stabilization. Here he borrowed some code from <a href="http://hackaday.com/2010/01/15/aeroquad-build-your-own-quadcopter/">the open source Aeroquad project</a> which helps account for this improvement. But the hardware choices lend a hand too. He moved from an ATmega32 up to an STM32F405RG processor. That&#8217;s an ARM chip which he programs using one of STM&#8217;s Discovery boards. The motors have all been upgraded as well (if you listen in the demo videos for both models you can hear a difference) and he redesigned the frame, which combines carbon tube with 3D printed parts to keep it light yet strong.

212
+ <p>This is a project to keep in mind for the kids next Easter. It uses <a href="http://www.apfelkern.info/index.php/2013/03/show-osternest-mit-arduino-und-lindt-hasen/">electronics to light up your eggs instead of dying them</a> (<a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&amp;tl=en&amp;js=n&amp;prev=_t&amp;hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;eotf=1&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.apfelkern.info%2Findex.php%2F2013%2F03%2Fshow-osternest-mit-arduino-und-lindt-hasen%2F">translated</a>).</p>
213
+ <p>The project still has one foot in the old tradition as it starts by blowing out the eggs. The larger hole on the bottom, which was used to evacuate the yoke an albumen, ends up being just the right size to insert an LED. You could simply hook these up to a battery and resistor, but [Rene] decided to add some functionality by hiding an Arduino board in the fake grass of the Easter basket. This way the way the RGB LEDs can glow, blink, and rotate through different colors. And the foil covered chocolate bunnies aren&#8217;t just for show. He wired them up to the I/O pins of the Arduino to use as a switch. When they&#8217;re both placed on the same piece of foil it completes the circuit and starts the light show. See for yourself in the clip after the jump.</p>
214
+ <p>Of course for the older kids you&#8217;re going to need <a href="http://hackaday.com/2013/04/04/turning-an-easter-egg-hunt-into-a-fox-hunt/">something more complicated to keep their attention</a>.</p>

+ <p>We figure we have to start off this week&#8217;s links post talking about PETMAN. Boston Dynamics <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFrjrgBV8K0">shows off the humanoid robot donning a full chemical suit</a>. It&#8217;s a lot scarier than <a href="http://hackaday.com/2009/10/27/bigdogs-bipedal-brother/">when we first saw it</a> as a couple of legs a few years ago [Thanks Joshua].</p>
226
+ <p>Seeing something like that might drive you back to smoking cigarettes. But since that&#8217;s pretty bad for your health perhaps you just need <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoBGau9623I">a mechanical chain-smoking machine</a> to take the edge off. That thing can really suck &#8216;em down! [Thanks Mike]</p>
227
+ <p>Last week&#8217;s links included a bit about the Raspberry Pi 2.0 board version&#8217;s reset header. [Brian] wrote in to share a link for <a href="http://usedbytes.com/misc/pi_reset/">adding reset to a 1.0 revision board</a>.</p>
228
+ <p>Speaking of RPi, [Elvis Impersonator] is using it to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpBG9m3LDqI">automate his garage door with the help of Siri</a>.</p>
229
+ <p>In shop news, [Brad] needed to sharpen a few hundred pencils quickly and ended up melting the gears on his electric sharpener. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ilLumnNLxI">Transplanting the parts to his drill press</a> gave him more power to get the job done in about six minutes.</p>
230
+ <p>And finally, you can forget how to decipher those SMD resistor codes. Looks like <a href="http://www.soselectronic.com/?str=1265">surface mount resistors might be unmarked</a> like their capacitor brethren. We were tipped off by [Lindsey] who got the news by way of [<a href="http://dangerousprototypes.com/2013/04/05/will-the-smd-resistors-marking-become-a-history/">Dangerous Prototypes</a> and <a href="http://www.electronics-lab.com/blog/?p=21437">Electronics Lab</a>]</p>

268
+ <p>We&#8217;ve thought of doing a project like this ourselves as the dehumidifier we ordered online runs the fan 24/7 no matter what the humidity conditions. But it wasn&#8217;t that [Davide Gironi] was unhappy with the features on his unit. It&#8217;s that <a href="http://davidegironi.blogspot.it/2013/04/avr-atmega-dehumidifier-controller.html">the dehumidifier controller stopped working so he replaced it</a> with one of his own design. The original humidity sensor was mechanical and simply broke. He used an AVR along with a humidity and frost sensor to get the appliance up and running again.</p>
269
+ <p>A DHT22 humidity sensor is polled by the ATmega8 chip and compared to the user-adjustable trimpot value. If it is above that threshold the unit is switched on using one of the relays seen in the image above. The one problem you have to watch out for when using compressor cooled appliances is ice accumulation on the radiator. [Davide] uses a thermistor for temperature feedback, switching the compressor off when it gets below 7C and turning it back on again when it is above 12C.</p>
270
+ <p>The replacement still uses the reservoir sensor and indicator LEDs. We, however, would recommend using the watchdog timer on the chip to ensure that it is reset if something goes wrong in the code.</p>

+ <p>Some people know [Tom Murphy] as [Dr. Tom Murphy VII Ph.D.] and this hack makes it obvious that he earned those accolades. He decided to see if he could <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom7/mario/">teach a computer to win at Super Mario Bros</a>. But he went about it in a way that we&#8217;d bet is different that 99.9% of readers would first think of. The game doesn&#8217;t care about Mario, power-ups, or really even about enemies. It&#8217;s simply looking at the metrics which indicate you&#8217;re doing well at the game, namely score and world/level.</p>
281
+ <p>The link above includes his whitepaper, but we think you&#8217;ll want to watch the 16-minute video (after the break) before trying to tackle that. In the clip he explains the process in laymen&#8217;s terms which so far is the only part we really understand (hence the reference to voodoo in the title). His program uses heuristics to assemble a set of evolving controller inputs to drive the scores ever higher. In other words, instead of following in the footstep of <a href="http://hackaday.com/2012/12/24/how-to-write-your-own-minesweeper-solver/">Minesweeper solvers</a> or <a href="http://hackaday.com/2011/07/30/bejeweled-blitz-bot-makes-your-high-score-look-just-sad/">Bejeweled Blitz bots</a> which play as a human would by observing the game space, his software plays the game over and over, learning what combinations of controller inputs result in success and which do not. The image to the right is a graph of it&#8217;s learning progress. Makes total sense, huh?</p>

+ <p>We like the look which [Emmanuel] achieved with <a href="http://www.emmaanuel.com/SqueezeBerry-a-Music-Player-based">his Raspberry Pi based Squeezebox client</a>. It&#8217;s got that minimalist slant that makes it seem like a commercial product at first glance. But one more look at the speakers without grates, the character LCD, and the utilitarian buttons, knobs, and switches tips us off that it&#8217;s filled with the hardware we know and love.</p>
293
+ <p>Since Logitech announced that it was terminating the Squeezebox line we&#8217;ve seen several projects which take up the torch. We&#8217;ve seen <a href="http://hackaday.com/2012/12/26/raspberry-pi-used-as-a-squeezebox-server/">the RPi used as a Squeezebox server</a> and several <a href="http://hackaday.com/2013/01/11/building-an-inexpensive-squeezebox-client-replacement/">embedded Linux systems used as clients</a>. This follows in the footsteps of the latter. The RPi is running Raspbian with <a href="https://code.google.com/p/squeezelite/">the squeezelite package</a> handling the bits necessary to talk to his server. The controls on the front include a power switch, rotary encoder and button for navigating the menus, and a potentiometer to adjust the HD44780 LCD screen&#8217;s contrast. The speakers are a set of amplified PC speakers that were liberated from their cases and mounted inside of the wooden box that makes up the enclosure. The in-progress shots of that case look pretty rough, but some sanding and painting really pulled everything together. As you would expect, we&#8217;ve embedded the demo video after the jump.</p>

+ <p>Most 3D printers use stepper motors to control the movement of the extruder head. If you could actually print those motors it would be one more big step toward self-replicating hardware. Now obviously [Chris Hawkins'] <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paT63-8DLbs">working 3d printed stepper motor</a> wasn&#8217;t built 100% through 3D printing, but the majority of the parts were. All that he had to add was the electronic driver pieces, magnets, wire, and a few nails.</p>
305
+ <p>The coils are made up of nails wrapped in magnet wire. The rotor is a 3D printed framework which accepts neodymium rare earth magnets. The axle is pointed which reduces the friction where it meets the cone-shaped support on either side of the frame. The IC on the upper right is a transistor array that facilitates switching the 20V driving the coils. The board on the lower right is <a href="http://hackaday.com/2012/08/13/teensy-tiny-arduino-board-with-an-attiny85/">a Digispark</a>, which is an ATtiny85 breakout board that includes a USB edge connector for programming and a linear regulator which is how he gets away with feeding 20V as the source.</p>
306
