The Electric Giraffe Project

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Frank Lindsay Lawlor

Home: California, United States

Just a big fun loving robot giraffe that loves to have his nose petted, his chin scratched, and is happy to say hello to you in return! Russell is now well into his 'teens' and still going strong and very much misses his bay area friends! He is still a big huge robot, who can carry 6 adults or 9 kids quite easily, (where insurance companies allow!) and just loves to play music and walk about county fairs and music festivals, etc. He remains a star attraction wherever he appears! Though he is huge by many standards, he is very slow and gentle, his motions are strictly controlled and methodical. Having been to the first Maker Faire in 2006, Maker Faire at the White House and Burning Man, Russell continues his adventures and is happy to be back!

City Vibe

Faire: Rome

Maker: ITS Academy Meccatronico Veneto

This project is a hardware-software platform that aims at optimizing street lighting through the use of LoRa (long-range) communication technology. Electronics and sensors detect the passage of vehicles on a road section. A central computer determines the optimal light intensity that a road section should receive during low-light hours. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to enable dynamic street lighting according to traffic, with evident energy savings, especially if applied on a large scale. (Collaboration of ITS Academy Meccatronico Veneto and GDS spa)

Wi-Fi Enabled Stratum-1 GNSS Time Server Built From Scratch

Faire: Rome

Maker: Cristiano Monteiro

My hands-on approach to dissecting IoT from the inside led me to fulfill a long-time dream of having an on-site Stratum-1 Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. NTP is the decades-old synchronization protocol that keeps networked computer clocks accurate. The best-case scenario for an NTP server is being fed from a Stratum-1 time source, that is, for instance, connected to the source of a VERY accurate time, usually an atomic clock (also called, Stratum-0). A good amount of Stratum-0 time sources is constantly floating over our heads! The GPS satellites, each one carrying at least two cesium atomic clocks (accurate up to 1 second every 300 million years). The idea of using GPS as a time source is not new, there are dozens of commercial products available doing precisely that. But my goal is to make it cheap, accurate, self-contained, dual-powered (mains and batteries), wireless-enabled, and portable to use on the field in my HAM Radio activities. Powered by the ever-expanding universe of microcontroller units, this goal is closer than ever. Current functionalities: - Internal RTC synched from GPS satellites constellation (backed by CR2032 battery) - Dual voltage powered - Backup battery for the whole unit (18650) - NTP and RDATE (RFC868) protocols supported - WiFi functionality as a client or access point - Syslog logging - Configuration webpage for WiFi and Syslog, saving to persistent storage (LittleFS) - Informative display with a timestamp, satellites in view, accuracy, wifi server, IP address - Dual function button, short press switch information on display, long press disables WiFi - Status at a glance, with dedicated 5mm LEDs for GPS lock, PPS signal, and WiFi status, as well as visible internal LEDs for charging and GPS module statuses
