My sensors have not been functioning too well with my computer, as every time I try to connect the hello.light or hello.mic boards and run python through my terminal, I either get the error “resource busy”, or my computer completely freezes! Therefore, I decided to try and program some sensors via an Arduino board and […]
This is a trial and error / design and development process which I followed in developing a camera slider for creating time-lapse video clips on my DSLR camera. The idea came from using standard Aluminium extrusions I have available at hardware stores, and create a slider chassis / dolly which is able to slide along […]
Often government data sets available to us online are taken from major nearby metropolitan areas or infrastructural centers. With an easy to follow introduction to new softwares and technologies the “urban sensor kit” allows anyone to obtain location specific information and share that information with a growing community of designers, researchers, and many others. This […]
The tutorials we used. http://www.instructables.com/id/Touche-for-Arduino-Advanced-touch-sensing/?ALLSTEPS http://www.instructables.com/id/Calm-Relaxed-Interaction-Plant-Plus-1/?ALLSTEPS Download arduino software and the processing software. From their respective websites. Processing.org arduino.cc All of the supplies we used: (we didn’t include the water bottle as a sensing object, and used an inductor instead of a coil) Arduino Usb cable Shield pin headers Resister: 10k, 1MOmh, 3,3k Capacitor: […]
Got an Arduino? Like parties / alcohol? Can’t be bothered to make your own bar quality cocktails? Make a Barduino! Its back, with new features in v2.0: Facebook integration – Facebook registration Page to track and graph drink consumption Touchscreen with gesture support RFID user login – sync with Facebook profile photo SQL drink database […]
In this lab you will be using a program to enter a schematic and lay out a printed circuit board (PCB) that will then be manufactured. At this point of the semester you don’t know enough to design your own circuit, so I am giving you one that we will use again later in the […]
Bingo! My granddaughter enjoys playing Bingo, so I went out and bought her a cheap set at a local discount store. The cards and the markers are fine, but the spinner disk for selecting the numbers is a piece of garbage. It flew apart about ten minutes into the first game. True, I could have […]
This instructable will show you who to build a rgb lighting system with an Arduino. You can also control it with an iPod/iPhone/iPad using touchOSC. In my previous instructable I showed how to control one rgb led in this you can control heaps with a single chip the ULN2003A. Step 1: Parts You will need […]
Goals Understand the Analog Signals and use your knowledge to program your Arduino and let it play music Get known of the Seven-segment display and use your Arduino Board together with the Shift Register to control the number. In the Second Week you will be asked to implement a circuit to combine these first two […]
Ever wanted a robotic liquor server? I purchased a Lynxmotion robotic arm last year and an Arduino (deci) to play around with. I had it serial controlled with a joystick and it was a great way to start in robotics. More recently I wanted to take on another micro-controller related project for a university science […]
