I buy a lot of these stackable Arduino header sets because they are handy for a lot of things. I make some breakout boards with them, I use them to add some clearance between a taller shield and the next shield that I am stacking on top, and sometimes they are necessary when a shield […]
The project A polar plotter is a plotter with a rotating, extendable arm. Its characteristics differ greatly from those of a traditional plotter, which in most areas have a superior design. You could say the polar plotter is more portable or something, but mainly I made this one because it was more of a challenge. […]
Bobble-heads!!! Every sports fan loves em, but they’re kind of boring, just sitting frozen on your shelf 🙁 I thought it might be fun to create an Automatic Bobble-head Bobbler something that can wake that old bobble-head up and get him nodding away. I finally found time to get one working just in time to be […]
There is a saying: “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”. Well, when I see a display, I think of clocks 🙂 I will show you here how to easily make a simple digital clock by hacking Meggy Jr RGB. This is an Arduino-programmable device, featuring an 8×8 RGB LED […]
Ever wonder of copypaste method, usable in real life, not only in virtual reality? Me too. It is 21th century, and those are nearer than most of all can imagine! This is possible thank to 3d scanners and printers. So let’s try to scan something! First of all, sorry for my English skills. It is […]
I have always wanted to make something with my LED dot matrix display, and so when I found a old alarm motion sensor I knew just what to make, a Motion Sensing Eye! This instructable will hopefully finish with you having a working dmd, that will display an eye that opens if something in a […]
A 24-hour clock with hour, minute, and second indicators. Here’s the catch, despite being a digital media (LED’s) it is still displaying using an analog method (circles!). I finished making this clock months ago but did not bring it with me to school so I wasn’t able to take pictures and all until now. I […]
In this project using only an Arduino with an Ethernet shield. I’ll be controlling one LED and a servo, but you can apply this method to control a DC motors, buzzers, relays, stepper motors, etc.. Overview: When you upload the the code provided in this tutorials. it creates a webserver in your LAN and you […]
Ever wondered what goes on under the hood of your car? Wish you could peek inside the engine management system and read values from it? Annoyed that your dashboard displays a cryptic “Check Engine” light (yep, the engine is still there) but gives absolutely no explanation what the problem might be? You don’t need a […]
The incredible popularity of home weather stations shows that it’s not just farmers who are interested in the weather. Many people want to be able to track and record weather events within their local environment rather than relying on a state or national weather service that may not have adequate local details. Home weather stations […]
