As a long time lurker I finally decided this project was worthy of a write up (also I’m killing for an instructables tshirt). I love this site and hope you enjoy this project. IMPORTANT!Just a quick heads up, there are optional steps in this build. Your horn will be fully functional by step6 however I have included […]

How to Control Home Appliances With TV Remote With Timer Function
Even after 25 years of its introduction to consumer market, infrared communication is still very relevant in recent days. Whether it is your 55 inch 4K television or your car sound system, everything needs an IR remote controller to response to our commands. There are many technologies available in the industry, say Bluetooth, RF or […]
Arduinoflake – PCB Version
A few weeks ago I made a freeform Arduinoflake. Lot of you loved it. But its magic is not only being freeform but also in the pattern of the LEDs. So I decided to create a PCB version which would be really easy and cheap to make for everyone! It’s the same beauty in a different […]
Simulated Sports Scoreboard
I am the theatrical technical director for a local high school. Their winter production was “Disney’s High School Musical”. During meetings with the director, he said it would be cool if he could have a scoreboard. I excitedly replied that I could make one that worked by remote control. Warning: be careful what you promise. […]
Ciclop 3d Scanner My Way Step by Step
I’m going to realize the famous Ciclop 3D scanner. All the step that are well explained on the original project aren’t present. I made some fix to simplify the process, first I print the base, and than I restilize the PCB, but go on. Step 1: Printing and Assembly Part For assembly part the best solution is to refer […]
Connect 4 Game Using Arduino and Neopixel
Rather than just giving an off-the-shelf toy gift, I wanted to give my nephews a unique gift that they could put together and (hopefully) enjoy. While the Arduino code for this project may be too difficult for them to understand, the basic concepts of input, output, loops, and conditions used in this code could be […]
Controlling a Neopixel Led Ring With a Gesture Sensor
In this tutorial we’re going to play with a gesture sensor (APDS-9960) and a neopixel ring to learn how to combine them both using an Arduino UNO. The end product will respond to left – right gestures by animating led movement right or left, and to up-down gestures by changing leds color. In the next […]
NES Controller Piano / Ultrasonic Theremin Mash-Up
I recently built a simple 8 key piano using an original NES controller and Arduino UNO board.Unlike conventional Arduino piano projects which require one digital pin for each key / button the NES controller piano used only three digital pins (D5 for nesClock, D6 for nesLatch, D7 for nesDataIn) leaving 5 extra digital pins available for experimentation. […]
RGB One Button USB Keyboard
Ever felt the need to have a tiny, yet functional, RGB backlit keyboard, no bigger than the size of a single key? No? Who cares, make one anyway! This instructable will guide you through the steps you need to make your very own, slightly useless, one button keyboard. Step 1: Parts and Tools To make […]
Radioactivity Counter (IoT) and Monitoring Eco-system
C-GM firmware last update on June, 10th 2019 with new 1.3 versionA-GM applicationlast update on Nov, 25th 2019 with new 1.3 version This D.I.Y low cost (50$/43€) C-GM Counter project provides hardware and firmware for building a Geiger-Müller counter device aka G.M. counter for continuous measurement of the radioactivity level. It is based on an Arduino Nano, a 20 chars x 4 lines LCD display, a W5100 […]
