Adrduino Counter with lcd Display

Nikolaus Gradwohl2009-07-07T16:03:00+00:00

I made a small device that has 3 independent counters which are shown on a lcd-display. The device uses an arduino and has 3 buttons on the front that are debounced in software and used to increment a variable. The variables are printed on a 1x16 char lcd-display.

the red switch on the side is a power-switch.

i really like the "frankenstein"-look of the eclosure :-)

Arduino based Office-WTF-Counter

Nikolaus Gradwohl2009-07-03T08:37:00+00:00

As in any office, my co-workers and I experience several WTF-Situations during our working day. So we decided to implement a simple system to count the WTF's and use them as a metric for our working climate :-)

we use an "emergency stop"-Button which is connected to an arduino. This arduino sends the string "WTF" on the serial line a little python scrip writes them to a file, another processing app count's the lines in the file and offers the result via http, which is read by a processing app for visualisation ...
