The main purpose of this project was to build a robot that would differentiate itself from already existing robots, and that could be used in a real and innovative area. Based on personal experience, it was decided to build a car-shaped robot that would be implemented in an Escape Game. Thanks to the different components, the […]
Hi everyone, this is my second instrucatable! This time we are going to build a wooden clock with temperature and humidity display. Like shown in the picture, our the time will be displayed through the “wood”. Since light isn’t strong enough to pass a piece of wood, we are going to use wood texture vinyl stickers […]
Turn your NES controller’s START BUTTON into an ON/OFF switch for lights with this Instructable – Other versions I have seen either gut or modify the electronics but in this project the electronics are intact so the controller can be used for retro gaming after the lights go out… I used an LED for the light in this Instructable because […]
Using the magic of Arduino, I revived an antique Bell model 202 telephone and added Bluetooth capability to it. There are two parts to this. On one end I have an ancient phone from the 1930’s. On the other end, I have one of a dozen “name tags” with hidden LEDs. When a person dials […]
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single cat in possession of good fortune must be in want of a laser toy. As with single gentlemen in want of future wives, some precautions must be observed. But is that not true of anything really worth having? If you do have concerns about pets and […]
In this tutorial we’re going to play with a gesture sensor (APDS-9960) and a neopixel ring to learn how to combine them both using an Arduino UNO. The end product will respond to left – right gestures by animating led movement right or left, and to up-down gestures by changing leds color. In the next […]
C-GM firmware last update on June, 10th 2019 with new 1.3 versionA-GM applicationlast update on Nov, 25th 2019 with new 1.3 version This D.I.Y low cost (50$/43€) C-GM Counter project provides hardware and firmware for building a Geiger-Müller counter device aka G.M. counter for continuous measurement of the radioactivity level. It is based on an Arduino Nano, a 20 chars x 4 lines LCD display, a W5100 […]
I recently built a simple 8 key piano using an original NES controller and Arduino UNO board.Unlike conventional Arduino piano projects which require one digital pin for each key / button the NES controller piano used only three digital pins (D5 for nesClock, D6 for nesLatch, D7 for nesDataIn) leaving 5 extra digital pins available for experimentation. […]
Ever felt the need to have a tiny, yet functional, RGB backlit keyboard, no bigger than the size of a single key? No? Who cares, make one anyway! This instructable will guide you through the steps you need to make your very own, slightly useless, one button keyboard. Step 1: Parts and Tools To make […]
Rather than just giving an off-the-shelf toy gift, I wanted to give my nephews a unique gift that they could put together and (hopefully) enjoy. While the Arduino code for this project may be too difficult for them to understand, the basic concepts of input, output, loops, and conditions used in this code could be […]
