Welcome to the starmice.net website!
Here we will keep you up to date, and will let you comment on, all projects we have finished and are working on!
Finished projects will get their own pages, work in progress will be posted in their respective fields.

Just got a new toy, a microscope :)
wondering what to put under it, I came across a 3W RGB LED, kinda stunned about the artwork in there :)
Wonder if the different patterns have functions or that its just for “show” ;)
ADDED: LED turned on! very very low power…
Long time ago I wanted to make a portable iPod speaker powered by the mighty sun!
So far I never got around to actually finishing it, so I picked it up again this weekend.
Still a work in progress but here are some preliminary pictures:
Stereo amplification using two lm386′s a Li-po Rider from Seeedstudio for charging a battery with the use of solar panels, and a USnooBie as a controller which currently doesn’t do much but I’m getting there ;)
More details will follow!
The latest arduino project involves a rainbowduino!
More a proof of concept then anything practical, some pieces of wood a lens a rainbowduino and an arduino.
It is pretty dim, but works well in dimly lit environments, it also lacks a focus function as the distance of the lens is fixed. However it does seem to work :)
Default rainbowduino firmware is used for now, the lens does mirror the image projected so when displaying characters keep that in mind (it should be fairly simple to mod the firmware to mirror the char in software).
Not yet sure if I can do anything practical with it, but it could be made as a scrolling information display.
