My Wonderbox::Idea::Code::Programming::Design::Circuit Board::Function::Prototyping


The interesting thing about making technology to your own idea is that you end up with something unique and original. For me, learning the whole process from conception & idea, design & cobbling, to actually getting a prototype made is a pretty fulfilling sensation.




I learned to code
I learned to make Circuit boards
I learned to design

And it was all put together and a neat thing was produced.

This is my wonderbox. I wanted something to measure environment variables and have various options allowing me to display data & record in various ways - micro sdcard - bluetooth - LAN - wifi - cell network -LCD display.


Some great resources out there for data collection, and for the first time we can get the hardware and it does not have to cost a fortune. Parts are recyclable for other projects, there is no waste, no throwing away. Hacking for hardware.





This is my wonderbox and it's the only one.

Blueter Voice app

Hi, here is an app I developed which allows me to control a camera shutter using an android device and a bluetooth connection. I am using a canon powershot in this instance.

I am also able to control the camera shutter using voice control. As can be seen in my video:

I hope to develop this app more in the future and I will be grateful for your thoughts and ideas. Thanks.
