This project is designed to help you construct some relay boxes for controlling power from your wall socket using an arduino or microcontroller. The inspiration for writing an instructable came when I decided to build some relay boxes for my personal Garduino project. For safety concerns I started designing my own relay circuit and outlet until I came […]

Hi. I’ve just got myself an Arduino Uno R3 and I’m really new in the world of Arduinos. There’s so much to learn and explore 🙂 One of the first shields that I’m tempted to buy is the Prototype Shield. I think building a prototype circuit right on top of the Arduino is pretty slick.

This tutorial will show you how to create a garment that changes its behavior depending on how conductive you are. It detects conductivity through iron-on conductive fabric that we will use, and it will light up and sing different notes depending on how you touch the conductive fabric. We’ll be using sewable electronics (the LilyPad

In this Instructable, we’re going to be making a Tic Tac Toe or Noughts and Crosses shield for an Arduino that allows you to play against another person or an AI player running on the Arduino. The game board is made up of a 3×3 grid of RGB LEDs that light up green or blue

I love my Arduino. It got me into, and hooked on, microcontroller programming. I also like the expandability that shields provide. My Arduino can be a GPS Locator one minute, and be connected to the web the next. There’s also a kit that lets you make your own shields. That last option always bothered me.

This project emulates a trumpet by playing notes using the three buttons (valves). This is easy to make and fun to play with, though it can only play one octave and no sharps/flats. Step 1: Code Load this into your Arduino: int speaker = 9; // Hook up speaker to digital pin 9 int sw1

The Twittering office chair “tweets” (posts a Twitter update) upon the detection of natural gas such as that produced by human flatulence. This is part of my commitment to accurately document and share my life as it happens. For more in depth theory, please see the next step entitled Theory. See the results of the

This instructable will be about using arduino to control the revell vexplorer. Later you can add as many sensors you want. If you don’t have most of the parts already this will cost you about $200 dollars. Most of the electronic bits you can find at radioshack and vexplorer at amazon, also arduino at the

An all-in-one tutorial to getting started with the Arduino open-source electronics prototyping platform. This guide is meant for the beginner but should be also be useful to you if you already tinker with electronics but want to get started with the Arduino. I’ll cover: – breadboarding LED outputs from the Arduino – creating and reading

For my 30th Birthday I decided to have a D-Themed costume party, my girlfriend Kylie and I decided that we would go as Daft Punk. The costumes were quite involved to make, but we had lots of fun and they looked great! We used a lot of resources from the internet, including a great article
