This instructable shows the principles involved in making devices to control home automation over the internet. We’re going to construct a device (or several of them), that talk to each other over the internet to control lights, motors for curtains/blinds, power sockets etc. In contrast to devices controlled from a web browser or phone, these […]

iAndroidRemote – Control Android mobile using an Apple Remote
I love to integrate devices which are not supposed to be integrated and this guide shows you how you can control an Android mobile using Appleβs Remote. (Who said Apple devices work only with Apple products π ) Also this is my entry to the Sparkfun microcontroller context. If you like this guide, please do […]
Hookup an LCD to an Arduino
Adding an LCD display to Arduino projects can add real value but the cost of doing so can be significant. Not a financial cost – you can pick up 16 (characters) x 2 (rows) LCD for as little as Β£3.50. The cost is the pin count it can take to drive them. Using the built-in […]
Hookup an LCD to an Arduino in 6 seconds with 3, not 6 pins
Adding an LCD display to Arduino projects can add real value but the cost of doing so can be significant. Not a financial cost – you can pick up 16 (characters) x 2 (rows) LCD for as little as Β£3.50. The cost is the pin count it can take to drive them. Using the built-in […]

Daft Punk Coffee Table 5×5 LED Matrix using an Arduino
Yes, I know this has been done before, but I wanted to build my own, using as few parts as possible. Β I built this as a table top or wall mount model, but it can be scaled up to make a coffee table. Β I built it as a study for a more ambitious project, which […]

A compact, Arduino altimeter for RC Planes
Please vote for this Instructable if you think it deserves it! Thanks! The Ultimate Altimeter is a super-compact, Arduino controlled altimeter capable of measuring the altitude with an accuracy of 0.3 meters, and saving the highest and lowest values it has measured. It is powered by a 40 mAh Lithium Polymer battery, uses a tiny […]
CoaTracker Using Arduino
Has this ever happened to you? You wake up in the morning and realize that you’re terribly late for work/class/your weekly pedicure/whatever. You throw on a t-shirt and flip flops, sprint around your warm, heated house grabbing your belongings, and race out the door…where you suddenly find yourself surrounded by a cold, biting wind encompassing […]
Cell phone text using an Arduino
Arduino textβin. Key Features: 24 relays controlled by 4 I/O lines! Cell phone text using your Arduino. This project hacks a cell phone to text using normally open relays. After investigating cellular modules on the internet I decided it looks not only rather pricy, but also like a possibility that even after I had it […]
