“Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this?” – Ash, Army of Darkness Each time an unsuspecting victim lifts the cover this disgusting book, a bloodcurdling scream pierces the air. This project uses an Arduino Uno, a light sensor and an MP3 player to bring the Necronomicon to life. If you already have an Arduino, […]
If you’ve even seen a fake candle you have probably noticed how it doesn’t look realistic. Whether you’re trying to add some atmosphere to a dinner or light up a jack’o-lantern, your choices are limited. A real candle has a fire hazard, but a fake candle will look tacky. If only there were a safe […]
In this project, I’ll show you how to make your own 8×16 RGB LED Matrix using Arduino Uno/ Nano. An LED Matrix can show scrolling messages, display animations, music spectrum analyzer … With integrating NodeMCU, it can be used as small screen to show weather information from internet or any process values when it connect […]
I was inspired by the cute Frankenbot papercraft, so I thought why not make it truly alive by giving it some blinking lights and sounds effect. Here is the plan: – Connect 2 LEDs for the eyes (different colours of course) and only one eye can be on at a time – Connect 3 LEDs […]
Charlieplexing. Aside from being a fancy word it is a technique for driving multiple LEDs with relatively few pins on a microcontroller. It allows you to drive N*(N-1) LEDs with just N pins without requiring any additional hardware, making it a quick, cheap and easy way to add multiple LEDs to your arduino projects. Throughout […]
Hello there! Fellow electronics enthusiasts, I am quite sure we all make some or other projects, as a part of our learning experience or academics. We sure would want to display some data present on our micro-controllers, from sensors or simply display some message, so here is a quick tutorial about OLED displays, in which we […]
Spooky teddy is a 2-part Halloween decor. The first part is the teddy bear that has a 3d printed mechanism that can rotate with an Arduino UNO and a solenoid. The second part is a self-rocking chair powered by an Arduino nano and a solenoid attached to the bottom of the chair. The two parts […]
Once I saw a beautiful box of chocolate in a store. And the thought occurred to me to make an awesome gift out of this box – an animated box with chocolate. What we need: Сlear plastic chocolate box 9V battery Battery cable adapter uSD 1GB Arduino Uno TFT Shield for Arduino Step 1: Step […]
If you are not familiar with ESP8266 micro controller, I really feel you have been missing out! These things are incredible: they are cheap, powerful and best of all have built-in WiFi! ESP8266 started their journey out as a WiFi add on board for more traditional Arduino boards but shortly after, the community realized the […]
Eyes on the prize, Violet. Eyes on the prize! Get ready for a candy-grabbing face-off with your family and friends with this classic arcade game – the candy claw machine! But this time, it’s going to be a bit different – first, it’s going to be at your home, and second, you’re going to make […]
