A Project by: ShuChuan Yao, Jeongwoo Jang, Zijie Tan Arduino Uno Servo Motors x4 fishing wires pins (cotton buds stem, thread rod, toothpick) Gyro Sensor 9V Battery Pretty Scarf/Bandanna Do you ever feel the need to express […]
Arduino LifeClock
This unique clock reminds you to appreciate every single day, by displaying your current age in days (or weeks) on a seven segment display. Step 1: You Will Need Electronics: Arduino Pro Mini 5V (or any other arduino with >= 12 GPIO Pins) 4 Digit 7 Segment Display DS3231 Real Time Clock Module 4x 200 […]
HRV (Home Air Exchanger) Arduino Controller With Air Economizer
HRV Arduino Controller with Air Economizer So my history with this project is I live in Minnesota and my circuit board fried on my LifeBreath 155Max HRV. I didn’t want to pay the $200 for a new one. I always wanted something with an air economizer since our springs and falls here are perfect times […]
DIY Cheap and Sturdy Laser Engraver.
In this instructables I will show you how I made my own DIY laser engraver for very cheap. Also most of the parts are either salvaged from old things or are very cheap. This is a very interesting project for any electronics hobbyist. This engraver will be able to engrave wood, cardboard, vinyl stickers etc. […]
Dutch 8×8 Neopixel Word Clock
A friend introduced me to neopixels (WS2812) programmable LED’s. That would be great for my word clock, so I re-did the clock. It is very much a mixup with a slightly different size and code. The 8×8 WS2812 modules are also cheaper than the colorduino, I used before. Check out my previous Ible if you want to […]
Portal 2 Turret – Master Turret Control
This project is an extension or remix of my original Portal Turret on Instructables (Portal-2-Turret-Gun). It can also be used as a cheap controller to control anything that uses the nRF24L01 radio chip. The LCD screen is particularly useful when customizing. (It turns out to be quite useful in checking when my radios establish and […]
Cooperative Multitasking on Arduino – With Pretty Blinky Lights!
In my first Instructable Motion Activated Automatic LED Stair Lights with Arduino I mentioned the use of “Cooperative Multitasking”. So what is it and why is it helpful? This Instructable attempts to answer the “what is it” and “why is it helpful” question with a simple example that step by step builds up into a more complex […]
Ring of Fire [REMIX]
After building some of these: https://www.instructables.com/id/Matrix-LED-Light/ i’ve decided to bring the candle onto another level. While the first one looks good, it does look a little bit too much like the original. Nothing against the first design. It looks cool and modern. My new approach is a little bit warmer and uses different materials. Still […]
The Chug-O-Meter
Isn’t it nice when you can hit two birds with one stone? That’s exactly what we’ve done as we approach both Arduino Day and Saint Patrick’s Day with our version of the Chug-O-Meter! We absolutely loved what the circuit.io team did with their Chug Meter but thought that we could add more to its survivability […]
