The Arduino is able to output sound through a library that has been developed called the Tone Library. By creating an interface and a program that can call certain values to be output to an audio out, the Arduino Synthesizer is a robust tool for making a rudimentary noise machine. It uses granular synthesis techniques […]
The MQ-3 is an alcohol gas sensor that is available for about $5 from Sparkfun, Seeed Studio, and others. It’s easy to use and has sparked the imagination of anyone who has dreamed of building their own breathalyzer device for measuring the amount of alcohol in the human body. I got an MQ-3 sensor a […]
This project started as many of mine usually do, as a honey-do. We have compiled an extensive list of our book and movie collections on our computer at home, but my wife wanted to be able to scan the list from the video store (yes, we still go to the video store). So I created […]
This instructable will help you to build an Arduino Binary Clock. The orignial idea for this instructable was designed by Daniel Andrade. My instructable uses surface mount components, but can easily be adapted to through-hole components if you wish. You can follow my other Instructable for Building Your Own Arduino to get started. I would […]
Quadrotors are the new Segway’s: a mesmerizing, somewhat magical, self-stabilizing platform that every tech person wants to have. You can’t ride a quadrotor (well, maybe you can), but they do fly, and you can build one yourself from scratch! I helped with a previous quadrotor build (Instructable here), and after flying it I decided I […]
Need more Arduino board? Do not spend more money for another one. Why not try to build your own DIY Arduino board? It is easy and simple. DIY Arduino Step 1 Get an Atmega328–PU or Atmega328P-PU (with bootloader inside). atmega328p A brief introduction on the Atmega328 chip: 8-bit MCU 32kB Flash Memory 1kB EEPROM 2kB […]
This electronic instrument allows you to sequence and loop audio and MIDI data. Most of the time I use it to sequence drum samples so I can play around with different beats and rhythms. The really great thing about this instrument is that it is very portable, it fits in your hands easily, runs off […]
this is a project which makes an android app, then configure it to use it with android debug bridge or android accessory development kit. for making the android app we use android mode of processing. For hardware, I always choose Arduino. Here I have a Freeduino ADK from embedded market. for the communication since ADK […]
I’m working on an Arduino clone. The Arduino is essentially an ATMEGA328P development board with a bootloader pre-loaded. There are a lot of custom macros built into the programming interface that make it really easy to use, and even easy to build some powerful applications. Arduinos have taken off and can be found everywhere, doing […]
I have loved making projects with Arduinos, but at $30 a piece your projects can get expensive. So I want to show you how you can make your own Arduino from scratch and save money doing it. Make your own Arduino for around $8. For this instructable I show you how to make one on […]
