There is a short video for this Arduino fingerprint lock here: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjIxNzQyNzY4.html I live in a small apartment in Shenzhen with my wife and baby, 5 months old. Sometimes, I need to go out, for example, to go downstairs to buy candy or diapers for my baby. But always I forget to carry my keys, so […]
This sketch blinks the Esplora’s RGB LED. It goes through all three primary colors (red, green, blue), then it combines them for secondary colors(yellow, cyan, magenta), then it turns on all the colors to create white. For best results, cover the LED with a piece of white paper to see the colors blend. Circuit Only […]
mo.momi Led strips are amazing! Firewalker-led-sneakers(http://learn.adafruit.com/firewalker-led-sneakers) by Adafruit inspired me. I wanna change a way to control it, instead of “pressure-sensitive”, I use a accelerometer sensor judging the motion of slipper. It’s simple, I complete this version only calculating the acceleration on “z” axis, weather i’m speed up or slow down. Led will “flow” if […]
What it is: An Arduino-based light-sensitive switch for turning on a desktop computer. Why its cool: Use a Sonic Screwdriver to turn on your computer! Story: This project started, as I’m sure a lot of them do, as a result of boredom and the thought “Wouldn’t it be cool if…”. I am a fan of […]
An Arduino based Ambient Orb designed explicitly for monitoring Source Code Autobuild systems. This orb can easy be repurposed for monitoring really anything that can have alerts from time to time. Step 1: Purpose Some time ago a co-worker passed me an article about “Extreme Feedback” devices that could be attached to your autobuild system […]
I recently dug up my old RC transmitter and receiver and thought “How can i control my arduino with this?” so i powered on my scope to see what was going on at the receiver. Sure enough, it was sending out the standard PWM signal that servos use. Now I just needed something to control. What’s easy […]
We use them every day, but has no one got bored of pressing buttons on a stick, it’s far too much effort pressing buttons! Surely there are better ways to control a device? After doing some work with my Nikon camera using IR to control it, I wanted to do the same with other devices. […]
Last year, I have made this ball balancing robot.It can stand on a ball stable by the balance system of itself. There is only one connect point between the robot and the ground, so it is more flexible than the traditional wheeled robot. It can move to any directions without turn. For the traditional wheeled […]
www.ArduiNIX.com presents: ArduiNIX Nixie driver shield assembly The ArduiNIX shield is a user programmable platform for driving multiplexed Nixie tube or other high voltage displays**. The ArduiNIX is open source hardware Welcome to the assembly portion of the site. Here we will take you step by step through the build process of your ArduiNIX kit. First, […]
I created this Theremin like device after seeing this article in Make magazine: http://m-cdn.dashdigital.com/make/vol15/?pg=69#pg67 While this looked pretty straight forward it turned out to be a bit much for me at the time. But after much effort, I got it to work pretty good. I had trouble getting the laser to aim correctly so I […]
