Power Quality Meter ( PQ Monitor) using Arduino
Arduino UNO project, Power Quality Meter, someone would call it’s PQ Monitor or PQ Analyzer. I had already published one blog devoted RMS voltage measurements on full band 20 – 20 000 Hz audio signals. ( Following my own style, I’d refer to already published materials whenever it’s possible ). This time measurements performed on […]
Dr Blinkenlights… (or how I learned to afford the BlinkM)
I love the idea of the BlinkM (individually addressed RGB leds controlled with 2 pins), but not so much the price (nearly 15 quid each!). Luckily, the hardware is open source and somebody has brought out an alternative firmware (although if you know where to look, you can find the official firmware). This is the […]
Arduino wall avoiding robot
This instructable assumes very little with respect to prior knowledge. If there are any areas you feel could be improved or clarified, please feel free to message or comment and I will update. Here are all the details you need to produce a simple wall avoiding robot. Along the way you will have the chance […]
Dot Matrix Printer from a CD/DVD Reader with Arduino
Hey! Some time ago while going through the pages here in Instructables, something catch my attention, a printer made of a CD reader, and i was amazed. I thought: “This is incredible, I have to make one!” I know that these kind of projects don’t always receive a “I made it”, because of its degree […]
Arduino powered hangman giftbox/lockbox
A medium sized box that requires the user to succeed in a game of hang man in order to gain access to the contents of the box. Great gift Idea!!! my Arduino sketch will be included in this instructible sorry for the poor quality pictures! and keep in mind this is my first instructable, and […]
Measure RPM – Optical Tachometer using Arduino
This Instructable will show you how to make a Portable Digital Optical Tachometer using an Arduino Uno. This project is inspired from This instructable and is an enhanced version of it with an LCD display and a modified code. Instead of a slotted sensor , it has a reflection based sensor. So : 1. You […]

Adding CV inputs to the Auduino granular synth
When I first got into the Arduino I went looking for audio projects. One of the first things I built was TobaTobias’ Auduino granular synth. I was so impressed I built a permanent unit in a heavy duty enclosure and incorporated it into my occasional sets and demos.. This simple project makes really impressive sounds- […]
