This is the project that got Autodesk’s CEO Carl Bass a little extra attention from the TSA on his way to MakerFaire Tokyo. Here’s an article about that… We made this as way to demo a few things you can do with our apps, 123D Circuits and 123D Design : Design circuits. Simulate the circuits online. 3D Model online and prepare […]

LED Jigsaw Puzzle Light (Acrylic Laser Cut)
I have always enjoyed the various acrylic laser-cut night lights that others have made. Thinking more about these I thought that it would be great if the night light could also double as a form of entertainment. With this is mind I decided to create jigsaw puzzle that would fit into a thin box that […]
Time Delay Lock Box
Note from the author: In an effort to get this ready in time for the safe and secure challenge, I have had to make a few compromises to my box, but that doesn’t mean you have to! I have left my original ambitions in the text, as inspiration for you to make the best Time […]
Better LED as light sensor
As a result of the questions from lekirst on this ible of my hand: LED-as-lightsensor-on-the-arduino/ and the cleaner code made by hansc44 at: Arduino-Use-LED-as-a-light-sensor/ it was time to come with a better Ible. So here it is. (I didn’t solve lekirst’s problems yet so she probably is open for suggestions) What is the idea? You might know that a LED emits light […]
Arduino Mega-ISP Shield
Use this shield to re-burn the bootloader for any arduino. You can always make one on a breadboard, but having a shield is great. This is great for people who works with lots of arduinos. You can also use it with AVRDUDE. I will have a parts list coming soon… (this instructable will be under […]
DIY Mario Kart Balloon Battle Robots
There are some projects where you make a functional thing or practical thing. There are some projects where you make a beautiful thing. And then there are projects like this where you decide to slap a razor blade and balloon on some robots and battle them, Mario Kart style 😀 I’ll start this by saying […]
5X5 dot matrix on Arduino
With this you just type the text you want on your computer and your 5×5 dot matrix shows the message. Used: ~25 leds ~Arduino uno ~5x 100ohm resistor ~and a bit of skripting It took me a while to figure this all out but in the end it was quite rewarding. not really practical though. […]
Valentines PCB Heart
With Valentines Day approaching I thought it would be nice to make a project for the people who are special in my life; I thought the people of instructables would probably like it too! I’ve designed a ~100mm x 100mm or ~4in x 4in PCB heart. It uses the Attiny85 SMD microprocessor as the brain. […]
Input Pullup Serial using Arduino
This example demonstrates the use of INPUT_PULLUP with pinMode(). It monitors the state of a switch by establishingserial communication between your Arduino and your computer over USB. Additionally, when the input is HIGH, the onboard LED attached to pin 13 will turn on; when LOW, the LED will turn off. Circuit image developed using Fritzing. For more […]
The Ultimate Light Switch
The goal of this instructable is to explain how I made a wifi-connected light switch (also called remotes further). The goal of these remotes is to turn on and off several wifi-connected relays. The relays are not explained in this instructable. They are explained in a separate instructable that I made in the past: ESP8266 Wifi […]
