Bass preamps: Bartolini MK-1 vs. MarkBass MB-1

MK-1 vs. MB-1 I compared the inner electronics of two bass guitars made by Cort from the Artisan series: a B5 Element and a B4 Plus AS (Fretless). The 5-stringer is equipped with Bartolini MK-1 active electronics, while the fretless sports the MarkBass MB-1. SPECIFICATIONS B5 Element B4FL+AS Construction Bolt-on Bolt-on Body Mahogany (Ash top) Swamp Ash Neck 5pcs Walnut & Panga Panga Maple/Wenge, 1F 20.5mm, 12F 22mm Fretboard Roasted Maple Panga Panga Fretboard Radius 15.

PikrellCam Motion-detection plus temperature Logger

PiKrellCam Reborn Motion Detection with Sensor Data Logger One of the most used motion detection and surveillance software for the Raspberry Pi with additional temperature and humidity logging and graph panel. Sensor Logger UI panel. This fork introduces an additional web-dashboard driven by a sqlite database to keep track of temperature and humidity readings coming from a HDC1080 sensor. This dashboard is accessible by the main page of the camera preview bringing in some statistics of the collected data.

Data Logger for Electrical Power Measurements

Foreword Measuring power (consumption or supplied) in certain electric (and electronic) appliances or projects sometimes requires very long running times. Some might even last for days or more. Having a software tool that can reliabily take care of storing the measured data and plot some nice graphs and even export the whole data-set is a great deal of help. Especially when such software can be customized to fulfill any kind of requirements.

KAYABOARD - mag-lev organ keyboard (POC)

KAYABOARD This is a Proof-Of-Concept of an organ keyboard using magnets instead of springs to obtain a nice upward release action and a decent downward counter-pressure when playing. Designing a musical-instrument keyboard confronted me with some ergonomics considerations and material choices. I did some research on magnets as well, to have a better understanding of their force irradiation and how to select them to save space, weight and achieve the best feeling when playing.

Restoration of an old open-air cinema PA

GELOSO Geloso, founded in 1931 by Giovanni Geloso, was an Italian manufacturer of radios, televisions, amplifiers, amateur radio receivers, audio equipment and electronic components. Its headquarters were situated in Milan, Viale Brenta 29. In 1931 the company started the production not only of radio sets but also most of the electronic components with which they were built and, over time, also developed and patented many others. After the Second World War, Geloso expanded and expanded his production, becoming from 1950 onwards, a point of reference for enthusiasts of consumer electronics and hobbyists.

Analog Radio

ANALOG RADIO! being a fan of old analog radio sets, I decided to collect these related projects starting from a Galena radio receiver that does not need power supply to operate, up to some Arduino experiments… Some analog but digitally driven audio transmission and analog modulation (mostly amplitude). Have fun! The first is an audio transmitter over LW radio band (734 kHz) in amplitude modulation (AM) which might be easily picked by a once-common radio set.
