Hi fellows,
Here is the source code of the OpenCV Homework.
Each line on the source code commented with the explanation.
A Pdf doc. added to explain :
I have been interested in electronics and especially in robotics since i was a little kid.I used to salvage electronic parts of toys and re-create different things with them. I used to make cranes with little motors and magnets.I always had a dream to make something fly some kind of a helicopter or a plane like thingy i remember when i was a kid , i was trying all kind of propellers and engines little ones , big ones.But i couldnt succeed.Nevertheless it has always been fun & entertaining to me to play with electronic things.
Later on i guess when i was 15-16 i started reading Make:Magazine and some other related hacker sites.It was fabulous to me to see people making homemade D.I.Y style electronic gadgets and everybody was sharing instructions & tutorials on how to build such stuff or even to get started in electronics.That’s when i heard about Arduino Dev.Boards. It was what i have been looking for , it was a great opportunity for a beginner.I have been in search of something like that like for 2 years those years i encountered NXT Mindstorms , PICAXEs but arduino seem like the best solution.
Actually i was thinking about whether buying and NXT Mindstorm of Starting to study PIC programming.PIC stuff looked so hard to learn to me those days and – the other option for me to start physical computing – NXT Mindstorm was really expensive i remember it was like 600$ or so here in Turkey.
So basically Arduino was a choice that combines Mindstorm’s modularity & PIC’s capability of physical computing and it was real cheap.
So i started electronics.
Hi my fellow readers,
Here’s a little summary of the projects i’ve been working on lately…
Algoritms&Programming 2 Homework :: OpenCV Character Position Detection :
With OpenCV’s built-in Computer Vision Functions it has been very easy to develop a character position detection application.
Here is a screenshot from the application i made.
Algoritms&Programming 2 Homework :: OpenGL 2D Drawing & Mouse Input Handling with GLUT
Last week we were asked to make a simple application , using OpenGL & GLUT , that draws a 2d house and movable circle onto the screen.But that’s no fun for a real programmer.So i decided to make it a little bit fancy.Here what i’ve done.
I made a movable head instead of a circle and added hair.And i implemented a relation between hairs & mouse movement.If mouse moves more than a pixel at a render cycle.It calculates the projection of mouse movement on X & Y axis’ and uses those values to create a wind like effect on hairs.
I also implemented a relation between movement of the head and orientation of grasses.I also used the distance value , between head and each grass , which is already calculated to set color the color of each individual grass.As you move head closer to lawn it brights up the grasses with inverse propotional relation between h labelled distance and Green color value of the grasses.
Personal Interest :: Comet Programming with ORBITED & TWISTED

Hi fellows,
It’s been quite a while since these projects first appeared on Make:Blog but i didnt share those on my blog.So i decided to have them on my blog. :)

Hi everybody,
Here is a photo of my homemade shields for arduino.
Upper-Left:Narduino2.0 – L298 Motor Driver Shield
Upper-Right: MIDI Controller with 3 LEDs for feedback
Lower-Left:Narduino1.0 -Same Functionality with Narduino2.0 except Veroboard.
Lower-Right: IR-Liqard – Data Monitoring Shield with IR receiver.
visit my flickr page for closer photos.
MIDI Controller Shield is the latest one i made.I used to play with FLStudio just for fun and i thought it would be fun to control pitch , modulator and volume controls with potentiometers. I used LoopBe1 and S2MIDI softwares to convert incoming serial data to a virtual midi port. I recorded a video demo. of the MIDI controller.I’ll upload it asap.
