This project will guide you through the steps to make an Arduino based 360 degree rotating foam ball turret with full joystick wireless control, and first person view camera and headset. This is a moderately complex project for hobbyists looking to try something a little extra. Parts of this project were limited by component availability […]
Build a simple Arduino powered Traffic Light with us! This instructable is meant to walk you through almost every step, but there are a few assumptions. Read over the intro and the first step to make sure you are fully prepared! This is the breadboard version, a more realistic traffic light will be generated soon. […]
This is my first in a series of more advanced Arduino tutorials. Now that we’ve covered the basics in tutorials 1-10 (you have watched them all right!?), it’s time to start pursuing some more complex projects! In this episode, we’ll utilize an SD card shield from cooking-hacks.com to create a datalogger. First, I’ll walk you […]
Hello Everyone!!! In this Instructable I am going to show you how I converted my (Commercial) RC drone that uses an RC radio system into a drone that is controlled by your Arduino using Bluetooth Why would I want to control my drone from an Arduino? I wanted to control my drone from an Arduino […]
This time on the show we continue coverage of Toorcamp 2012 – the American Hacker Camp. This time Darren speaks with Rob Eby about packet radio as an extension of the Internet. Plus what could be better than flexible individually addressable RGB LED strips? %1 controlled by Arduino! All that and more!
A bumper-sticker sized L.E.D. matrix that displays images in sequence from an SD card, to produce an animated sign or “window sticker.” Arduino controlled! Also includes Windows, Mac, and Linux code for converting .xbm image files into Digital Window Sticker files. Perfect for a shop or home window, or a fun desktop sign! Step 1: […]
Robopod is a simple arduino robot that uses antennas to detect obstacles. Robopod’s motors are controlled by an H bridge and powered by a nine volt battery. Robopods circuit is based on a breadboard for easy modification. Step 1: Tools and Materials Material Arduino uno Breadboard H Bridge 9 volt battery 9 volt battery […]
Hi everyone! In this Instructable I will show you how to make a LED Mask. This Mask has an incorporated microphone that will make your mouth move as you speak. What you are going to learn from this Instructable: Select the right components for this project Sketch a LED grid that fits in the mask […]
Not even Zombies are exempt from a good pat-down. Scanner security wands are used at the most exclusive nightclubs and venues. Does not detect metal to indicate a presence of weapons but will indicate the lack of a soul which means a more rigorous body cavity search to remove any last shred of dignity you […]
Every summer, Qualcomm hosts a Battle of the Schools competition, which gives employees the opportunity to represent their home universities. This year, entries were to be homemade contraptions, and they were judged according to how cool they were perceived to be. Virginia Tech’s cannon project tied the University of Michigan for first place. The project […]
