There are quite a few geiger counter instructables. The difference with this one is that I wanted to give it a modern interface, similar to smart phone touch screens, that anyone would feel comfortable using. The reason for this is that I want to use it as an educational tool to teach kids (and interested adults!) about […]
Hi, so me and my pal are setting up so we can make PCB´s. We are currently making a UV exposure box (possibly another instructable) and for this box, we needed a timer, so this is what we have done so far, and what we are going to do. This project is based on the […]
Another project I’m working on required a good timer, but the more I read about Arduino, I realized that I couldn’t make an accurate timer using an Arduino that was already devoted to other tasks. The Arduino will always lose time if you perform other tasks. The solution was a Real Time Clock module that keeps perfect […]
This simple device simple plays a small tune at a random interval, between 5 and 30 seconds when the lights in a room go off. It can be cleverly disguised inside a tissue box, or inside or under any number of household objects. This is a vary simple project (my first audio project) and requires vary few materials, most of […]
This project and future projects can be found at my website http://revoltlab.com/ where you can also find my blog. UPDATE LOG: NOW SUPER SIMPLE TO REPROGRAM! Easy FTDI USB interface hardware explained in step 10 Easy FTDI USB interface programming explained in step 13 NEW code uploaded works perfectly with speaker output! see step 13 […]
For my Digital Multimedia class final, I created a treat dispenser that is activated by pulling a chain, which starts a servo motor that spins a wheel to dispense treats to my to African Grey parrots. Step 1: Gather Materials Step 2: Construct Button 1. Cut two strands of wire around 6in long. 2. Solder one of […]
This is my second instructable. i want to share some of the basic things i made using the arduino i am so busy lately. then i got the chance to have this spare time… inspired by my former student and a fellow co league to share this arduino based wireless automation. this automation was done […]
In this tutorial you learn how to make a blinking clock with a difference! Updated 18/03/2013 Followers of my website would realise that I tend to make too many clocks in those tutorials. Well, I like making clocks… so here is another one. However this time I have tried to make the most simple version possible. […]
We are three students from California College of the Arts in San Francisco in the Architecture program. This studio is called Creative Architecture Machines and is taught by Jason Johnson and Michael Shiloh. Webster is a geometric pattern weaving machine that takes inspiration from Islamic tiling, geodesic dome construction, weaving machines, and conventional 3D printers. […]
Arduino Powered Micro Aquaponic System with Pi Camera and Twitter Feed We are creating an automated aquaponic system with mobile updates via Twitter. Sensors and motors will be controlled from an Arduino while the entire system, including mobile updates, will be orchestrated by a Raspberry Pi. Tweets include pictures, sensor data, and system-critical updates. Original […]
