Make Your Own GPS Transmitter with the HC-12 Transceiver
The initial part of this series, titled Understanding and Implementing the HC-12 Wireless Transceiver Module, demonstrates using HC-12 for long-range data exchange between two Arduino Unos. This article utilizes two HC-12 transceivers, a GPS module, an Arduino, and Google Maps in order to develop a basic tracking device. Item Cost More Information HC-12 transceiver (x2) […]
The Santa Cam! An Arduino PIR Motion-Activated Camera System
The Santa Cam is sure to catch who is stealing your milk and cookies this holiday season! You can even use it for a photo booth this New Year’s Eve! BOM: Arduino Uno DSLR camera with remote shutter jack 2.5mm TRS cable Rectifier diode Milk and cookies Why? You see, when I was little, my […]
DIY Arduino Tutorial: How to Automate Your Curtains
This Arduino Curtain Automation project will let you automate your curtain blinds using just an Arduino and a stepper motor. I just moved to America pursuing my higher studies. Because my dorm is very dark, I wanted to brighten up my room when I wanted to. Since I would be there for only for a month, […]
Arduino Servo Catapult: DIY Catapult using Arduino
Use an Arduino and a servo to shoot food to your cat! (Also works with other animals). Check out the video below to see how this Arduino Servo Catapult works. While maybe not the most practical application, this project will teach you the basics of servo motors and analog inputs, which can be implemented into more practical […]
Arduino Wheelchair Project: Motorized Controller Mount
This was an Arduino wheelchair project we developed for Principles and Practices of Assistive Technology (PPAT) in Fall 2016 at MIT. We made an Arduino-based motorized wheelchair controller mount for our client, Lisa. She lives at the Boston Home, a center for people with progressive neurological diseases, and has Multiple Sclerosis. With her old controller […]
Amazon Kitchen DRS
The Project This project is a combination of the many smart fridges and pantry’s of the past. The idea is to combine all of them while also introducing Amazon’s DRS system through Alexa and the Echo products as a bonus feature. The process will be simple: As you put the item you purchased via Amazon […]
Build A Speech Controlled Quadropod Using Arduino
This is my first post on Instructable and I am super excited to share my knowledge! My original robot post is here: Spryo SpoonTail which is just my robot showing some tricks but with a tethered control. In this Instructable I am going to show you how to make a quadrapod of your own and […]
Daox’s diy arduino thermal differential controller
We have a great thread that contains lots of info on thermal differential controllers here. However, I wanted to start a thread dedicated to my own development of a thermal differential controller that I’ll be using for my attic heat reclamation project. Tonight I setup a simple circuit that tested the operation of the differential […]
DIY Thermal Differential Controller – Part 4: Building Your Own
In our last episode, I explained how I redesigned the controller from what I first thought I was going to do. Now, I am going to explain how to make your own thermal differential controller based on mine. As it is, this setup will only control an AC load, but it would be fairly simple […]
