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 […]
Sometimes I just have those days where I really want to make something neat with the Arduino I have lying around, but I know I don’t have the patience for a more involved project that’ll take more than a day or so. This is for one of those days. The premise is as follows: A […]
How to choose between ordering boards and low-risk home prototyping, with fabrication-file checks, inspection steps and authorized etchant waste handling.
This mod uses a custom designed encoder on one of the wheels to track where the longboard is on the ground and light up the LEDs so that the light pattern remains stationary on the ground as the board moves over it. To make doing this instructable as easy to understand as possible, you will […]
One day while exploring the bric-a-brac at the markets, I stumbled across an old, Bakelite slave dial from the 1950’s. Slave Dials are clock movements without the actual time keeping circuit. All they contain is the mechanism to drive the hour and minute hands, which can be advanced by an electric pulse. This pulse is […]
In this project we make electronic dice. Updated 18/03/2013 In this article you can learn how to make an electronic die (die is the singular of dice), using an ATmega328 with Arduino bootloader and a few inexpensive components. The reason for doing this is to introduce another object that you can build, learn from and be proud […]
This is a down and dirty prototyping shield that will work for Arduino Mega’s and there pin compatible clones. This is the first time i have made this board, but i have other projects i think this would be handy for. Limitations: I tend to build projects for megs that require multiple serial ports and […]
I love Ardunio. I love the things that people make with them and I love to make my own. Last August I published an Instructable on how to make your own postage stamp sized Arduino compatible. This Instructable will show you how to to make a rugged, versatile Ardunio compatible with basic components on board. It […]
Firstly, why would I make a music player when one can be purchased for so little and Apple iPods are so great? Well, I’ll tell you. After several cheap MP3 clones have died due to their Lipo batteries and my cracked, inoperable screen on my current iPod touch; I’ve had it with locked down devices […]
To all other teens (I’m 16) who have begun to pick up an intrest in robotics and electronics the following project will give you a great user-system to get started with. This is not for complete beginers, but after only 6 months of teaching myself to code and develop robotics I have developed T.A.B.U. What […]
