As with so many other people, I’ve always been a massive Harry Potter fan. One of the coolest magical items in the series was almost certainly the Weasley family clock that had a hand for each family member, and moved to reflect their location. I had wanted to make my own version of the clock […]
This Instructable will show you how to build your own FM radio receiver shield to be used with an Arduino board. The radio chip we are going to be using is the AR1010 on a breakoutboard found at Sparkfun or Electrokit and there will be code to get you up and running provided later on. We are going […]
Adding touch interfaces to your projects might seem difficult at first, but it really isn’t. In this Instructable I’ll show you how to do it using an Arduino or ESP32 development board. What you will need: an Arudino* or ESP32 development board a wire some tinfoil some sticky tape *It should work on pretty much […]
HEY KID, GIVE ME BACK MY PENCIL! As a teacher, one problem I face every day is losing my pencils. Now pencils don’t just disappear, they walk away in the hands of my middle school students. I know this may not seem like a big deal to you and that’s because it’s really not. But […]
Cap’n ArrDrownHo! is the lovechild of Ardweeny and Boarduino and he’s here to commandeer your AVR ships. ArrDrownHo! inherits pros of both and cons of neither. Pick up an AVR chip and start prototyping instantly on a breadboard! Want to replace that costly Arduino in your project with a cheap AVR, but don’t know how? Use the simple plug-and-play […]
This project is a part of experiments done while doing an artist in residence at Instructables. You can see the other projects here. Inspired by Korgs Kaossilator I took it upon myself to build an opensource version of it. This way people can design new ways of interacting with the touchpad. The basic principle is creating […]
I have been shooting water drops for a while now…. since 2017. I still remember how excited I was when I got water drops bounce from the surface with my first setup I made with Littlebits… With these setups (Mark I and Mark II) I became inspired to give it a go and finally I […]
Control cyborg technology and revolutionize your PowerPoint presentations – build a wearable mouse! So you converted some video glasses to a heads-up display glass. You built a wearable Raspberry Pi, pcDuino, or BeagleBone Black. Now, how do you control your cybernetic augmentations? You make a wearable mouse, of course! The Point Shooter turns your hand […]
Hi There! We all are familiar with Smart Glasses like the one named E.D.I.T.H. made by our beloved character Tony Stark which was later passed on to Peter Parker. Today I am going to built one such smart glass that too under $10! They’re not quite as subtle as the ones in film, they do […]
Want to play Pong on your computer with your Esplora? This example shows you how. This example is designed to be used with a Processing sketch. Processing is an open source programming environment. The Esplora reads the slider and buttons and sends data to the Processing sketch serially over USB, and Processing uses the incoming […]
