I’ve had an Arduino Duemilanove now for a couple of weeks. If you’re not familiar with the Arduino, it is “an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software”. It has a small microcontroller, a USB port to connect to your computer for programming, a power socket for providing power when the […]

Generate Random Number using Arduino
A random number generation is very important in computing devices which helps them to do task in random manner. The applications of random number generation can be found in shuffling the audio files in an audio player, in almost all kind of digital games, generating passwords etc.There are so many algorithms which can generate the […]
Augment a Moog Etherwave Theremin
I’m going to go through my process of hacking a Moog Etherwave Theremin. I created a new acrylic top, partially sanded to be translucent in certain areas, and created my own circuit around an ATMega168 Arduino Bootloaded microcontroller which is stealing a control voltage from the theremin’s board and is driving 2 RGB LEDs which […]
Project Suite Bros: Voice Activated LED Friendship Photoset (Arduino, Bluetooth, Crafts)
(and partner-in-crime, Abbie). Now, I’m off to the next stage of my life, so I decided to build this friendship photoset for Kevin and Briton to remember our golden era. We called ourselves: “The Suite Bros”. This project is actually an extension of the “Voice Activated Arduino (Bluetooth + Android) by ASCAS. I highly advise […]
Arduino Garage Controller
Although there are many garage door projects on Instructable using Arduinos, I needed/wanted something different. Last year, we had a warm summer and when I would come home after work, I would leave the garage door open about 1 foot so it could cool off. The trouble was that several nights I left the garage […]
Arduino based Drone Quadricopter
arduino based Drone Quadricopter It’s a tiny quadrotor helicopter! Update Feb 25 2012: Warning, I may have discovered a bug inside the CadSoft EAGLE 6.1.0 software that may make the PCB look slightly different. My design files are meant for 5.11 so use that instead. You have been warned. arduino based Drone Quadricopter Main Features: […]
Project: Cleaner robot using Magician Chassis, Arduino, distance sensor and hand sweeper
This is a cleaner robot so you can give to your mommy or just use to clean your bedroom =P. Material List: 1x Arduino UNO R3 1x Magician Chassis 1x Shield Motor Driver (Shield 4Power) 1x Distance Sensor 1x Servomotor 1x Hand Sweeper 1x Battery 1. How it works When the robot is on, it moves […]
Arduino-Based Shadow Alarm
Arduino-Based Shadow alarms are usually used for protection against theft. A shadow alarm is a device that sounds an alarm when a shadow falls on it. Described here is a simple circuit of an Arduino based shadow alarm. This compact shadow alarm unit is capable of sensing a moving shadow in a restricted area, and […]
Arduino Bicycle Alarm and Lights
This alarm is a good way to alert you if somebody messes with your bike. I had a bicycle stolen a while back and decided there had to be a better way to keep my bike secure. When I searched for bicycle alarms, all I could find were alarms that responded to sudden movement or […]
How to Use IR Remotes with Arduino (Current and Updated)
I’m tired of these complicated tutorials on how to use certain things. I like simple, easy to understand, step by step instructions. My biggest problem was with IR and POV*. I’ve finally mastered how to control my project with any TV remote in a few minutes. In this i’ble I’m going to show you simple, […]
