Dorm rooms are notorious for their dreadful lighting, so I wanted to make a cool alternative light source for my room at school. I made it phone controlled so there would be an easy and wireless way to change the color of the lighting. The lighting consists of Tricolor LED Strips and are controlled by […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
Micro controllers are great, but have you ever wanted to control something bigger then, lets say an LED? If you have, look no further (unless you want more then 0.6Amps for 4 channels, or 2.4Amps for 1 channel), unless you don’t mind spending more money. This instructable will be all about building your own, preferably […]
So this Lazy Old Geek (LOG) gets bored sometimes and wants something to do. Actually, sometimes I get tired of trying to solve hardware problems, which are sometimes software problems. So I decided to do a tutorial on Arduino sketches. What is a Sketch? I’m not sure where the term Arduino sketch came from but […]
The Need: Occupational Therapy Device Occupational therapy is used in treating Traumatic Brain Injury during many phases of recovery and rehabilitation. As the patient’s condition improves, occupational therapy helps them regain skills ranging from basic self-care, to complex cognitive skills such as memory and problem solving. Occupational therapy can be helpful for individuals of all ages. Source: http://www.head-trauma-resource.com/occupational-therapy.htm According to numerous […]
A Smapler is a circuit dedicated to the production of generative sound created by David Cuartielles and Ino Schlaucher from BlushingBoy.org. The Smapler v0002 -aka Singapore edition- is nothing but an Arduino shield to be used for playing funky stereo sounds. As an extra add-on the Smapler v0002 circuit includes a PS2 connector for you […]
