The assignment for this week is to automate the machine assembled two weeks ago. For this Roxanna milled the Arduino’s shield for controlling the steppers, but Alejandro found that we haven’t all the components for stuffing, specially the A3982 – stepper motor driver, so as was impossible to get it locally, I decided to design […]

Are you a musician, music amateur, electronic bricoleur or maker who makes music by creating your own instruments and tools using Arduino? We are looking for your music tracks to be presented in a radio program entirely dedicated to (DIY) music made with Arduino based synths and instruments.The program is scheduled within the GwenFestival program,

This instructable was made as part of the CS graduate course “Tangible Interactive Computing” at the University of Maryland, College Park taught by Professor Jon Froehlich. The course focused on exploring the materiality of interactive computing and, in the words of MIT Professor Hiroshii Ishii, sought to “seamlessly couple the dual worlds of bits and

High Level Description: For part 3 of the lab, our group decided to build a “Simon” game. Our game setup uses 3 buttons and 4 LEDs. Each button corresponds to one LED and the 4th LED is used to indicate an error. The game starts with the Arduino flashing one of the 3 lights, chosen

People love listening to music while exercising. Music provides the motivation needed for individuals to keep exerting energy and get in shape. So, because people enjoy listening to music while exercising, what if an MP3 player only played an individual’s music while they are active? Using music as an incentive to continue exercising would encourage

While the field of robotics is continuously expanding at a remarkable rate and better performing robots are created every year, robotics still remains out of reach for many students and researchers. The main reasons for this difficulty are the high complexity of the hardware and software of robots, and their typically high cost. We believe

This spring, patches of the East Coast will turn buzzy and crunchy because of … bugs. Periodical cicadas (or Magicicadas) usually live underground but after 13 or 17 years, they emerge synchronously and in tremendous numbers to look for a mate. Radiolab launched a campaign to predict their arrival with a bit of DIY science and using an

This is a project to monitor the number of birds that visit my bird feeder, as well as record the amount of time spent feeding. I used an Arduino Yún and a capacitive touch sensor, Adafruit CAP1188, to detect and record the birds feeding. On a routine basis, the accumulated data is sent to a
Bird Feeder Monitor using Arduino Continue Reading
Introduction Our project, in one sentence, is an orientation independent 3D LED display. We were inspired by various videos on youtube of similar cubes but also by the idea of creating an interactive 3-dimensional display. We built a 5x5x5 LED cube display and controller board which interfaced the cube to a Mega32 microcontroller. We
