Concepts So you know what a switch is, but what can you do with it? One of the uses of a switch is to tell the controller to activate/deactivate different components. In this case we are going to use the switch to turn on and off an LED. We will do this by checking to […]

Nursery Rhyme Hat using arduino
I created the Nursery Rhyme Hat for a class on youth and technology. I’m new to instructables and e-textiles, so please bear with me! This is the first time I have used the Lilypad Arduino or any kind of soft circuit technology, so my coding is borrowed from several others (more on my code in […]
Rainbow Mega Pong Clock using Arduino
This is my take on the clasic Pong clock with an RGB back light that changes every time the date is displayed. A big thanks to mrnick1234567 and his http://www.instructables.com/id/Pong-Word-Clock/ I did want the light to change randomly through the day but it made a mess of the coding for the clocks. The latest version simply selects […]
Artist’s Machine
Tutorial 1 Part One Materials needed for tutorial Working BBB, RBBB, Arduino, or other Arduino compatible (BBB shown in photos) Solderless breadboard 22 gauge solid wire for use with breadboard 3 6mm momentary switches 8 LED’s, any color 8 1k resistors, (470 ohm or 220 ohm will also work fine if you want brighter LEDs) […]
LilyPad Arduino e-Reader Case
For a youth and technology class, we were assigned the creation of an Arduino LilyPad project. I liked the idea of connecting the LilyPad project to literacy, so I chose to make a Kindle case that would play music [Hedwig’s Theme from the Harry Potter movies] and display white LED lights—illuminating the word read—when the […]
NESBot: Arduino Powered Robot beating Super Mario Bros for the NES
This guide will take you through the steps to build an NES playing robot You will need: An Arduino Duemilanove (other boards will probably work, but you will have to adjust the steps for your device) Working NES Console Super Mario Bros. (Note: this must be only the single game, not the two- or three-in-one […]
Arduino V-Twin Flux Capacitor
I SHALL CALL HIM ” PEE-WEE ” Personal Electronics Entertainment With Embedded Education. Basically a project that is fun and I learn a hole lot of stuff from it. . This project started out as just a small robot so I could learn more about my Arduino and coding. And at first he was a […]
Tweeting Cat Door using an Arduino
Note: to see everything on one page, please go to: www.tweetingcatdoor.com After receiving many emails requesting Instructions and Kits for building the “Tweeting Cat Door “, I decided to make a version that is stand-alone and doesn’t need a computer to be run and that is easy to be put together by anyone with a […]
The Photometric Camera and the CCDs
The Photometric System The photometric camera for the SDSS consists of two TDI scanning CCD arrays, one, using 30 Tektronix/SITe 2048 x 2048 CCDs in a 5 by 6 array for five-color photometry, and the other using 24 2048 x 400 chips for astrometry and focus monitoring. We here discuss these arrays, the filter system, […]
Mechanical Led Matrix Display
First of all we would like to thank everybody that helped organizing the 2nd edition of Arduino Jam, and especially the Jo3ri, who supplied us with some quite cool goodies and kept us safe during the weekend. (Video will come soon!) This project is a contribution to the second belgian Arduino Jam (2012) at Timelab, […]
