The technology behind Enigma machines and the work done to crack them has influenced cryptography, cryptanalysis, and computer science in general. If you’re unfamiliar with Enigma machines, it’s a device that was developed near the end of World War I, then used extensively by the Nazi regime in World War II, to encrypt messages. The […]
THIS ENTIRE TUTORIAL IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON MY WEBSITE AT http://www.theparsley.com/arduino/diy/ To quote the Arduino website: “Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.” I got one a while ago and life has never […]
IP Control Car was launched in 2001. I make the similar function car utilizing commercialized products. The concept of Car No.02 is to utilize commercialized products, and I am an amateur in electrical. So, do not blame me that the system is not sophisticated, i.e. servo & speed controller control system and webcam system are […]
In some point in the life of every electronics hobbyist the need to make a clock is borned, in my case it was about a month after I soldered my first part on a board, but back then I didn’t have the right tools, parts and knowledge to do such a thing. But after about 2 […]
In this Instructable I am going to show how to make a program in Processing that analyzes sound on your computer and sends data to an Arduino that controls an LED matrix to show the spectrum analysis. I will be explaining where to get materials, explaining the coding and wiring needed and providing example programs […]
This summer I wanted to combine my two loves of plant science and engineering. Thus I am constructing my very own greenhouse in my backyard. I am an undergrad, and as any former student knows, this means I move around constantly, and I am not always around to take care of my vegetable garden. I […]
What is does: It searches for the brightest light source like the sun. Step 1: How it works How it works: I’d made a sensor of 4 LDRs with sheets between them The withe stips are the LDRs When the stick on top is righted to the sun or the brightest point the four […]
Wanted to make your own robot but couldn’t afford the fancy H-Bridge IC’s or etch your own PCB? Want a quick and dirty method of making your own wheeled robot? Then you’re in luck, but if you want to make your own wheeled robot AND have a quick and dirty wireless controller for anything then […]
The initial project, and certainly the one to which many were inspired is that of Doug Jackson. http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Word-Clock-Arduino-version/ also inspired by http://www.highonsolder.com/blog/2011/1/8/arduino-word-clock.html http://www.instructables.com/id/Sleek-word-clock/ Step 1: The Materials The list of materials for the board depends on how you plan to make the electronics, if you want an Arduino standalone or an Arduino UNO or 2009, […]
The wife is into raising chickens and now that the daylight savings is getting near she wanted a way to keep the egg laying production in high gear. According to the material that she reads, chickens will maintain their egg laying production if they get 12 – 15 hours of daylight. I thought to myself, […]
