This instructable describes how to upgrade your globe to a motorized version. It looks amazingly better on the shelf when it is slowly rotating, and any demonstration with your kids (to explain the day/night cycle or the seasons) will gain in interest. No need to rotate the globe by hand while painfully holding the flash […]
Nothing is worse than loosing the controller that came with your remote control car. Replace that sucker with an Arduino and the one remote that always seems to be around, the TV remote! Step 1: Materials The materials for this project are pretty straight forward. You’re gonna need… – A remote control car. The one […]
ENGLISH VERSION HERE Dans ce programme nous allons voir comment capter une température et afficher sa valeur sur un lecteur LCD en choisissant si on veut l’afficher en°C ou °F grâce à une télécommande infrarouge. Dans ce tuto j’utilise: -Une carte SainSmart (similaire à Arduino UNO) -Un lecteur LCD QC1602A -Un variateur -Un capteur de […]
What does a smart snow globe do? It tells you if tomorrow’s going to be a snow day! Is it snowing tonight? Will you have the day off from school or work tomorrow? Put this snow globe next to your bed when you go to sleep to find out. Then when you wake up in […]
CLICK HERE FOR THE UPDATED INSTRUCTABLE: http://www.instructables.com/id/IR-Rainbow-Cloud-ver-1/ This is a project I created for a Digital Art and Installations class. The class covered basics of several types of programming, and our projects were meant to be an interactive cross between art and technology. This was a fun and easy project with really impressive results (if I do […]
The world’s first completely open-source Bitcoin ATM for Education and Experimentation. http://openbitcoinatm.org for more information. Step 1: Fabricate Box and Faceplate Out of a piece of 12″x12″ aluminum sheet metal, cut two rectangles and drill six rivet holes and four holes to attach the bill acceptor. Cut aluminum angle into two 11 1/2″ lengths. For each […]
As the nights gradually lengthened in autumn 2011, I discovered the joys of Arduino and thought that it would be a great way to implement something that I have wanted for a long while – a gentle way to wake up on a winter’s morning. Sadly, it has taken me over a year to find […]
Now that you’re up to speed on using Arduino’s inputs and outputs, this Instructable will give you everything you need to get started using sensors to trigger MIDI notes from Arduino. This post is the last installment in a series of workshops I led at Women’s Audio Mission. The first two classes are Intro to […]
The watch The Texas Instruments eZ430 Chronos is a cool gadget. It has bidirectional radio communication, and a whole bunch of sensors: temperature, pressure, acceleration.In fact, it is a development kit for the MSP 430 (a low-power microcontroller), that TI packaged as a watch (pure genius!), and delivered with plenty of tools. Its firmware can […]
Not too long ago, I made my own version of the popular Wing Shield out of some spare parts and scraps of perf board I had laying around. Instead of the screw terminals that the regular wing shield uses, I used some female headers that I soldered to some Arduino stackable header pins. This time […]
