Objective: build a monome – a complex electronic music instrument – using easy-to-learn, inexpensive components and a process that’s so easy a kid could do it. Gist: This touchscreen music instrument is essentially 4 parts: MaKey MaKey (or Arduino) Neopixels copper tape cardboard Sound is produced in either Scratch (visual programming language for kids) or […]
Match a stepper motor to external driver hardware: unipolar versus bipolar wiring, supply and current budgeting, and verifying coil documentation first.

A standard facade panel […]
In this project I will show you how to build a very simple security system for all kinds of rooms. It might be simple but still effective. It is based around an Attiny85 and uses a reed switch and a key switch as inputs to see whether an intruder has accessed the room. A buzzer […]
This instructable will show you how to create a game using littleBits. The game will start with a sound trigger. Each player will have to press a button repeatedly. The first person to press their button 25 times wins. A buzzer will sound to end the race while the winning machine will do a victory […]
So I was a bit bored this weekend (actually I wrote this some months ago) and since I had ordered a bunch of Attiny85 chips the week after I decided to make a quite random project with them. This is a decision box, it takes decisions for you by showing a green or a red […]
In this project I will discuss how you can make a cheap wireless home security system.Though during starting of this project the main objective was only for security alarm but later I found this device can be used to solve several problems.These are the few practical problems which I have faced in the past : […]

Here’s a little show and tell of my Android controlled home automation box. It’s a small extension box that’s controlled by an Android smartphone. You can turn the individual outlets on by tapping a button from the app or use the speech recognition app, found from my previous tutorial. I’ve teamed up with my friends […]
