Imagine the ideal beach trip. The sun is shining, the skies are blue, the water is warm, and the humidity is low. You and your friends have everything you need to soak up the sun, sand and surf: a cooler filled with drinks and snacks, sunblock, flip flops, the coolest new swimwear, and the newest […]
What is it? This is an ongoing project that i’ve been working on to see the potential of interactive stereoscopic installations in examining the perceptual process. I use a setup that i’ve called a Diplopiascope to investigate this. The Diplopiascope has gone through a few changes but basically it is a stereoscopic viewer that allows […]
(Arduino Pro Mini Protoboard Version) Latest Release: http://code.google.com/p/dinocalc/ Development: https://github.com/WeaselJones/DinoCalc This is a calculator without a LCD that tells you if your math answer is right or wrong, without giving you the answer. This instructable will show you how to make this simple math checking calculator using “off-the-shelf” items. [UPDATE: A TUTORIAL SHOWING HOW TO […]
The FuzzBot is an awesome, fast, fully autonomous small Arduino robot that everyone loves!!! It uses the compact Pololu ZumoBot Chassis kit for a great drive system, and uses a Parallax Ping sensor to sense proximity, to make the FuzzBot fully autonomous. I like to think of it as a cheap & hackable “mini Roomba” […]
Have you ever thought of controlling your FuzzBot wirelessly? Do you want to make a real – life video game? Do you want to learn about the tech behind NFC and RFID? – the Qtechknow Robot Obstacle Course How – To Guide is for you! Please cast your vote for me (at the upper right […]
The idea of this dress comes from a series of tweets with online friends @shineslike and @arduinogirl. @shineslike and I had taken a half day Arduino workshop given by @arduinogirl at the MCN 2011 conference. I was immediately inspired creatively by the sensory and interactive opportunities. Over the next few months I struggled with the electronics […]
First off this project was a combination of of two great online resources. I had been looking into building an eggbot for a while and since I had a lot of ping pong balls on hand after one of my other videos the time was right for making my SphereBot that could write on ping pong balls. […]
Have you ever heard of TFT LCD screens? They are great ways to display information from your Arduino, or display pictures. The Arduino team just released an official TFT LCD screen with their new Robot at Maker Faire 2013. It’s very easy to get started with!! This tutorial will show you how to get the […]
Update 11/22/2013: Thanks to everyone who voted for this project in theMicrocontroller Contest! It was one of three first-prize winners. Update 9/17/2013: Thanks to everyone who voted for this project in the Arduino contest (I was one of ten “second prize” winners)! If you want to try this project with an addressable LED strip instead of an […]
This was a 2 hour project I whipped up in order to learn how to use a new Bluetooth LE 4.0 module I picked up at redbearlab.com, called a BLE Mini. I’ve since thought of several much simpler ways (and more dependable) to accomplish the same thing, such as simply lighting 3 LEDs behind weather […]
