I’ve got my new breadboard for prototyping few days ago and since I’ve had few transistors and LED’s laying around I have decided to try to make a very simple light show with LEDs powered by USB (5V DC). I turned out pretty awesome and it’s very very easy to make. Embedded video below is posted on YouTube so you can check it out and also I’ve posted a simple scheme for those of you who want to try to make their own LED light show. If you succeed, please let me know how does yours look like and also if you have questions about this project feel free to email me.

Here is the short video of LED light show in action

And here is the schematic.

Connect your negative side of LED to D- and positive to D+
VCC is 5V (red wire from your USB cable)
I’m using blue and white LEDs, so the Rd for them is 100 ohm, if you intend to use other type of LED please
recalculate your Rd.

While drinking my morning coffee I’ve red the article about the meaning of unique 13 numbers that people from former Yugoslavia have as their unique citizen identification number (called JMBG). I bet that more than 95% of people know what the first 6 numbers of their JMBG mean, but the other 7 numbers remain the mystery for most of them. I have developed a tiny application “Znacenje vaseg JMBG” that allows you to “read” information from your JMBG, like the day of the week you were born, political region/location of your birth, your gender, your uniquer number and your verification number. If you are citizen of former Yugoslavia, you can check out what your JMBG tells about you.

JGSP NS is a very tiny Android application that brings time schedule for public transportation of Novi Sad to your fingertips. Application is very simple and plain to use, on start it asks you to pick a public transportation line that you would like to use, after that, another screen appears where you can see the time schedule for work days, Saturdays and Sundays. If you find yourself using a public transportation a lot, this tiny application might come in handy. And did I mention that it’s completely free and with NO ads. Below are some screenshots of the application and links for download.

The idea behind PlusPon project is that you don’t have to visit hundreds of daily deal sites just to find what you are looking for, instead you can visit PlusPon.com that lets you search thousands of daily deal sites at once and lets you filter offers by region, category, price or any other way you want. All deals are displayed on the map where you can see how far from you they are, how long will they last and how much discount you get and ofcourse, option to buy that deal. The project is still in beta phase but you can take a peek at our Test Server to see the idea how it’s going to work when it’s done. If you have questions about the project please feel free to contact me or leave a comment.

JGSP Novi Sad – Red Voznje i new and improved version of mini-program that fetches data from official JGSP Novi Sad site and show you only the relevant data about the Bus Line you have selected from the menu.

I have created a PHP script that connects to weather server and retrieves real-time data about weather (temperature, pressure, humidity and wind speed) in Novi Sad, Serbia.
Data is processed and stored in my DB for later parsing and presentation.
You can see real-time charts displaying weather changes in last 8 hours in Novi Sad on my MrdniSe Lab website.

Update: 08.06.2011. – New section that shows average data for the past 7 days has been added.

JGSP Schedule software is, as its’ name suggests software for letting you know when does next public transportation bus starts and when it will be at your station.

It is very simple software that downloads official schedule from JGSP Novi Sad, and it doesn’t use almost any resources.
Also it has auto-refresh interval of 1 hour in case JGSP Novi Sad publishes new schedule.
Also if you minimize this app it will “sit” in you sys tray, waiting for you to click on it to show you when the next bus is coming.

I hope that with this software, my collegues and fellow citizens of Novi Sad won’t be late again… or at least not that much

You can download JGSP Schedule here!
