As a motorcycle rider, I’m all too familiar with being treated like I’m invisible on the road. One thing I always add to my bikes is a top box which usually has an integrated light. I recently upgraded to a new bike and bought the Givi V56 Monokey box since it had lots of space […]

Color Instrument
This a simple Arduino/3D printing project about colors and sounds. I made this device or as I call it ‘color instrument’ for activity for kids. It’s fun and it’s a good conversation starter about physics of colors and sound. The most interesting fact about colors, in my opinion of course, is that pink color doesn’t […]
Air Quality Sensor: Concept to Production
This is the full documentation of the Autodesk University Air Quality Sensor project. Attendees at several events have participated in assembling their own air quality sensor over the past several months. The Concept to Production page will give you more information on how you can use Fusion 360 and EAGLE to create your own products with ease […]
TTGO T-Watch
This instructables show how to start playing with TTGO T-Watch. Step 1: What Is TTGO T-Watch? TTGO T-Watch is watch shape ESP32 based development kit. 16 MB flash and 8 MB PSRAM both are top specification. It also built-in a 240×240 IPS LCD, touch screen, micro-SD card port, I2C port, RTC, 3-axis accelerometer and a […]
FM Radio
Recently, I came across RDA5807 module which is an FM Radio Tuner in a very tiny package. It is very cheap and uses I2C protocol for communication which means that only two wires will be required to talk to the IC. Less wiring! My mom used to listen to the radio every day while cooking food before […]
Cowboy Toy – Arduino Laser Target
In the lesson I will show you how I made a toy on arduino that will suit beginners. If you start working with sensors, then this toy will suit you as a homemade product. Step 1: Watch the Video Step 2: Material: – plywood – PVC tube – arduino – servo – photoresistors – power […]
Bicycle Speedometer Display
What Is It? As the name suggests, in this project you will learn how to create a display for your bike that consists of both a speedometer and an odometer. Indicating real time speed and distance travelled. The total cost of this project comes to around 15 USD (not including the bike or the Arduino) yet the effort spent is worth […]
Escape Room Decoder Box
Escape Rooms are awesomely fun activities which are highly engaging and great for teamwork. Have you ever thought about creating your own Escape Room? Well with this decoder box you can be well on your way! Even better have you thought about using escape rooms in education? We have and students love using them to […]
Weather Based Music Generator (ESP8266 Based Midi Generator)
Hi, today I’ll explain how to make your own little Weather based Music generator. It’s based on an ESP8266, which is kind of like an Arduino, and it responds to temperature, rain and light intensity. Don’t expect it to make entire songs or chord progressions. It’s more like Generative Music people sometimes make with Modular […]
