I’ve been visiting local convenience store (Dollarama, here in Montreal, Canada) and notice nice looking FM Radio, just for only $3. Why not to try to interface it to my lovely Arduino? Idea looks quite challenging, the same time what is the point in interfacing a DSP radio shield to arduino? I don’t need a […]
If you have read my first blog on the topic, than you already know what I’m experimenting with. Low price FM Radio, build with TDA7088 / YD 9088. It was obvious, that technology from the early 90-x is outdated. I mean, simple “search and hold” function of the radio. Scan function works only one way, up in […]
Hello everyone; I was looking for this project for a long time. Finally I it it together with a lot of effort. For this project you will need: There is a better explanation from the original project here (as well as other cool projects): http://www.multiwingspan.co.uk/arduino.php?page=bclock Step 1: The schematics Here is the design; mounted in […]
This will explain how we re-purposed a hand drill to re-spool solder using a roboduino (arduino compatible), two servos, and a DIY encoder. While one could use TRIACs to play with the AC power going into the drill, just using a servo to control the throttle is simple and avoids the pesky high voltage. Hand drills […]
This ible is for the building of my small, almost matchbox size, arduino compatable board. As seen in this ible.. http://www.instructables.com/id/Pocket-Ardiuno-kit/ I experemented with the one in this ible to see how it can be impreoved, but the consept is the same and so is the build to a degree. Origonally made as a pocket […]
You’ve bought your first Arduino or you’re planning to get this great little device? Obi Wan would say: “That’s good. You have taken your first step into a larger world.” Same thing for me! Congratulations! You’ll see, as soon as you master the basics, you’ll have so much fun with this little device. There are […]
This is my first Arduino project aimed at helping me with my other hobby which is growing oyster and shiitake mushrooms indoors. In a nutshell, the controller takes in two temperature readings, 1 Humidity reading and 1 Co2 reading and triggers a set of four relays connected to mains power. Intended to be connected to […]
This project uses an Arduino, a pair of speakers, and a laser pointer to create a laser projector able to trace out designs in a dark room. To power it, I’ve cannibalized a PC ATX power supply capable of delivering plenty of current for the speakers. Most of this project was directly adapted from the […]
This instructable will tell you how to make and connect a soft potentiometer to a microcontroller, in particular we will connect it to a Lilypad Arduino. In our case soft potentiometer means a potentiometer made of a textile conductive ribbon. What you need: 1. soft conductive textile ribbon. The important thing here is that the […]
As a part of being an artist in residence at Instructables, I took it upon myself to build of couple of noise machines / music boxes. My interest lies in designing objects that would enable people to explore the world of sound synthesis and for me to get a better understanding on how the different […]
