Audio Output using an Arduino
Generate sound or output analog voltages with an Arduino. This Instructable will show you how to set up a really basic digital to analog converter so you can start generating analog waves of all shapes and sizes from a few digital pins on an Arduino. (This article is a companion to another Instructable I’ve written […]
DIY Arduino Motor Shield
Today, I’m going to show you how to make an Arduino motor shield (driver) at a low cost. It works splendidly, its posses almost all the characteristics of the original Arduino motor shield. It’s almost considered as a clone. The original Arduino motor shield has the same motor driver chip (L298), the only difference with it, […]

Spinning or Rotating LED Display using Arduino POV
Designing a Spinning/Rotating LED Display In this project, we will demonstrate how to create a basic “Rotating LED Display” (commonly referred to as Spinning LED Display) using Arduino. The idea to start this project sparked in my mind after I noticed a product in the market that featured a clearly visible text message on a […]
How to make a LED 7-segment display with or without Arduino
I will demonstrate how to create a 7 segment display using LEDs. Use Arduino in conjunction to make countdown timers, basic text displays, and additional features. I enjoy creating unique projects. I looked through all of instructables and couldn’t find anything similar to this. Actually, I looked on Google but found no results. This idea […]
Internet Radio Using an ESP32
Dear friends welcome to another Instructable! Today we are going to build an Internet Radio device with a big 3.5” display using an inexpensive ESP32 board. Believe it or not, we can now build an Internet Radio in less than 10 minutes and with less than 30$. There is a lot to cover so, let’s get started! […]
How to Make a PIP-Boy using an Arduino
You may be wondering, what is a PIP-Boy exactly? If you don’t know, a PIP-Boy is a tool used by the main character in the well-liked Fallout video game series for navigating, detecting radiation, storing/playing data, and managing inventory.
