Hi. I’m Darren a 17 year old hobbyist, and this is the first Instructable I’m posting here, so I apologize if it kinda sucks! I hope it’s good enough… So how did the idea of a robotic arm come to me? Well, the first thing I remember is our chemistry teacher (!) coming to me […]
An Arduino is an open-source microcontroller development board. In plain English, you can use the Arduino to read sensors and control things like motors and lights. This allows you to upload programs to this board which can then interact with things in the real world. With this, you can make devices which respond and react […]
In this tutorial I will go over how to make a transforming chandelier. This project will be heavily CAD oriented (Solid works and Illustrator), made by laser cutting/engraving acrylic sheets, and a little bit of Arduino coding and soldering. Step 1: Choosing materials. All the pieces for the chandelier will be made out of flat […]
Hey guys, Today I would like to show you how to make a simple sentry turret out of household Items! You would only need to get an Arduino UNO or Mega, a Ping))) Ultrasonic Range finder, two servos, and an electronic water squinter! The rest of the project is things that you may find around your […]
Step 1: Check the materials you need. Below is the list of stuff you need to make it: 1. Arduino I used an Arduino Pro Mini 3.3V. You also need USB-Serial tether to program it. 2. A battery box I used a AA x 4 battery box with power line wires. 3. Breadborad I used […]
A shared-ground four-channel DC voltmeter reference: sequential ADC sampling, per-channel divider calibration, source impedance and honest accuracy limits.
As per an assignment in my digital multi-media class, I’ve combined two Arduino-related tutorials into a functional object! The result is a pair of infinity mirrors that flash red and blue depending on minute fluctuations in ambient temperature. This is my first experience with Arduino, and my first attempt at building an electronic device from […]
This instructable will attempt to show you how to make an animatronic doll controlled by a wireless nunchuk. This doll can only move its head though. I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who can take this and expand on it and make it much better, and I encourage that completely. 🙂 This […]
I frequent a blog called hackaday.com which featured a project by “Nikolai”, it was a 10cm LED ball that used shift registers. It seems like a really fun project to attempt but the cost of having the boards made & not having any experience sending eagle drawings to fab shops initially kept me from starting. […]
This instructable is a step-by-step assembly guide for the educational colorimeter kit we launched in April 2012 on Kickstarter. Assembly takes from 20-40 minutes. Once assembled the colorimeter can be used in a wide variety of science experiments to measure the absorbance and concentration of a colored solution. The colorimeter kit is an open source […]
