Went on a shopping spree the past few days as preparation for two projects.
First project will be based on arduino. I got inspired after reading about a ballbot, so I will be doing a simpler version, a two wheel balancing robot. I did not get any battery pack for the robot, hopefully can find something lying around else will have to go down to sim lim tower. As for the body of the robot I will try to use two plastic sheets. Will visit one or two labs and check out their waste materials.
Second one will be a raspberry pi arcade gaming machine. The parts for this were rather expensive. I found a gamepad made for PS1/PS2 on Carousell for cheap and wanted to try and use parts from it but the seller did not reply for a few days. Only after I ordered the joystick he replied. Will not be getting it although I was looking forward to opening it up. I will be using my old monitor as the screen as it even has built in speakers. However it only has VGA input hence I ordered a HDMI-VGA adaptor.
