Have you ever wanted to make a line following robot but the infrared sensors were too expensive for you? Do you want to upgrade the robot in my other instructable? Well this instructable comes in two stages, Stage 1 is the prototyping stage, where you build the circuit on the bread board and debug it […]
At the place I work, we use xymon to monitor of our servers. All of the services monitored are important, but we wanted a separate indicator to simply show the overall health of the most critical systems. Furthermore, we came up with the following criteria: We wanted this visible to everyone whether or not they […]
A Binary Clock! I was recently looking at some binary clocks and I felt like Why not? I have everything to make one and I don’t have a clock in my room. So I decided to build one and here it is. Hope you Like it and maybe build your own. It’s a cool project […]
This instructable will show you how to make your own arduino based watch that tells time using a matrix of LEDs. This is my first instructable, so if something is unclear leave me a comment or send a message! I was inspired by all the cool LED watches that I saw on this website: http://www.tokyoflash.com/en/watches/1/ […]
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, […]
Displays are always nice. So far I’ve just been demonstrating how to use 7-segmented displays to display numbers using very few resources. But what if you want to display text? Or pictures? Or both? Well in order to do that, you’re going to need a simple LCD screen. Now there are simple led screens out […]
This instructable was designed for beginners in mind, but advanced users can easily adapt it to fit their needs and wants. It only uses a few common components, so you shouldn’t have much trouble putting this together. It’s a good waste of 5 minutes with a satisfying result (at least in my experience), and everything […]
Keyless Entry System Enter the correct code into the keypad and the servo will unlock the door. Enter the incorrect code and Sorry you stay out. There was a couple of stipulations i wanted in my Keyless Entry system: Helper Light. A light that would come on whenever a key was pressed. Then off after […]
I’m here to show you how to use a HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Range Finder with an ATtiny85 as well as programming the ATtiny85 using the wonderful shield that randofo created. List of materials: ATtiny85 Programming Library Arduino Uno HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Range Finder and Library Jumper Wires Breadboard ATtiny85 Step 1: Program the Arduino Before you connect your shield to the Arduino […]
