element14 Presents

Clem likes to hear Podcasts and Music while working on element14presents videos but he’s not keen on using headphones and does not want to pump the volume to max to hear his speakers across the room. So he turns the ceiling of his workshop into a giant speaker, by building Studio panels. These Panels also reduce room noise for better audio recordings and by adding small LED lights act as soft lightboxes for filming. Dragging around big lights with softboxes is not needed anymore for a lot of shots and the right background music helps keep the groove. All in the name of better, faster project videos! Praise the everlasting Din5_180 Connector for its versatility!

Ever have someone barge in on you while you are recording? Well, I have a solution for that! In this episode, we are going to build a DIY wireless Recording light that mounts outside your studio and you can trigger it from the remote at your desk. Utilizing Particle Mesh technology, this device can be expanded to trigger other devices such as your camera, or audio recording device

What would virtual reality be like if flat panel display technology were never invented? In this project, Andy uses a pair of CRTs and the Raspberry Pi 4 to build a VR headset with stereoscopic 3D, 3DOF head tracking, and custom, browser-based software. It may not be practical but it's definitely unique and guaranteed to have no screen door effect

Everybody loves a 16-bit retro gaming Sega Megadrive / Genesis handheld, but that hardly justifies possibly wrecking an old original console for it. Clem encounters a random fake clone console in his storage and has nothing to lose for ripping apart a device that should not exist in the first place. By reverse-engineering the pinout, and fabricating a slick case, he builds a slick retro handheld that plays and feels much better than the clone console before the conversion! Thus, possibly saving a lot of old consoles while removing knockoffs from the market!

A child of the hyper-consumerist 80s and 90s, Matt grew up on a steady diet of sugared cereal and UHF television. As such, his sense of nostalgia is driven as much by advertising trends of the era as it is by music or other sociological elements. This leads to an interesting relationship with the winter holiday season, where seasonally-themed television commercials hold as high a place in tradition as any carol, tree, or gift exchange. To celebrate this odd bit of seasonal nostalgia, Matt builds a retro-television-themed ornament from a Raspberry Pi that plays those magical commercials from his youth and is powered by a strand of holiday fairy lights!

Although we mostly rely on smartphones to take photos, portable Photo Booths are a convenient alternative at events like parties and weddings. Building one from scratch in 2019 is easier than ever, particularly using a Raspberry Pi board and camera, along with a Touchscreen Display. In this video, we go over the steps on how to assemble the hardware and setup the software to run a Pi-powered Photo Booth for taking selfies with your besties at the next gathering! http://bit.ly/2S2hRZH

In 2016 Clem built a very annoying synthesizer in the form of a wristwatch. After showing it around at various Maker Faires it broke, so he decided to rebuild it better louder and more annoying than ever before! It is user-programmable thanks to the Arduino MKR and a haptic interface with satisfying sliders!
