{This instructable was created in fulfillment of the project requirement of the Makecourse at the University of South Florida (www.makecourse.com).} Inspired by the Wind powered machines built by “Theo Janse” I’ve come up with a design of my own, but with a twist. This design houses two 12volt motors to provide the power, an Arduino, […]

Open Grow Light
Exactly a year ago (February 2020), James’ wife wanted to expand her plant growing setup in the house. This included a bigger, larger, taller plant growing area AND the need for more lighting. BINGO! The seed for the Idea was planted. After an exhaustive market research, not able to find the product that we had […]
Predator Count Down Box
This is a count down timer with some flair! This project was made as part of an assignment for an online engineering course. The purpose was to have a timer with a set time which would then prompt the user to some action. The timer is activated when the button is pressed, and the LCD […]
Carnival Lights Game
Welcome to an Arduino beginner project. It’s a simplification of my previous instructable; it’s designed to be easier to reproduce. This is a timing minigame where the active light moves back and forth across a row of lights in order. When the button is pressed the light stops. If the light stops on the center light […]
Toy Camera Using ESP32 + OV2640 Camera and 3.5″ TFT Touchscreen
This project is for educational purposes. I made this for teaching engineering classes for my kids. It helps to describes how the camera works. It consists of three main parts : Brain : the microcontroller Input : camera module Output : TFT display That parts are need to be easily assembled and disassembled, so our […]
Ultrasonic Occupancy Counter (2-way)
This simple Arduino project can be placed in the doorway of a shop or other venue to count the number of people inside. Limiting the number of people inside a space can help to maintain social distancing. A demonstration of this project can be found here. There is no soldering required in this project, since all […]
Automatic Arduino Pet Feeder – 3D Printed (With Stepper Motor)
Hi guys, I made an automatic 3D Printed Pet Feeder (or just dispenser, but I use it to feed my dog). I 3D modelled all that project. U can print it by yourself. All parts are down there. Basically how it works, is u type in two Feeding Times, for example 8:30 and 17:30, then […]
How to Make Smart Obstacle Avoiding Robot Using Arduino Uno
Hi guys. In this instructable, I will teach you how to build an obstacle avoiding robot. The robot will be a small and simple 2-wheeled car which will move forward until it detects an obstacle in its path. Upon doing so, it will stop, move a little back and then look towards its left and […]
Tree Tidy – a Functional Desktop Decoration (Prototype Build)
Everyone loves a good desktop decoration. We can also agree that keeping our desks clean is great. So why not combine both? In this Instructable I’ll show you how to make a desktop item that combines aesthetics and cleanliness to create (in my very biased opinion) the best desktop item ever conceived. Just like the […]
Arduino Basics With Night Light
Recently I have been playing around with Arduino. Arduino is really cool and is a great way to learn electronics. In this Instructable I will teach you the basics of Arduino including: LED’s Buttons Potentiometers Resistors Tinkercad And a project with this knowledge. Step 1: The Board The controller can be broken down into a […]
