Introduction: On one of my weekly pilgrimages to Lowes (as any devout Kansan does), I found a sad little plant in the Gardening Department: a Janet Craig Compacta. The poor little guy looked lonely and dehydrated. We clicked right away and immediately I knew I had to take him under my wing. There was one […]

The Brachistochrone Curve
The brachistochrone curve is a classic physics problem, that derives the fastest path between two points A and B which are at different elevations. Although this problem might seem simple it offers a counter-intuitive result and thus is fascinating to watch. In this instructables one will learn about the theoretical problem, develop the solution and finally build […]
DIY Geiger Counter With an ESP8266 and a Touchscreen
I designed and built a Geiger Counter – a device that can detect ionizing radiation and warn its user of dangerous ambient radiation levels with the all-too-familiar clicking noise. It can also be used when scouting for minerals to see if the rock you found has Uranium Ore in it! There are many existing kits […]
ARDUINO PH METER
In this project, we will be making a benchtop pH meter using the gravity analog pH circuit and probe from Atlas Scientific and an Arduino Uno. Readings will be displayed on a liquid crystal display (LCD). MATERIALS 1 – Arduino Uno 1 – Gravity analog pH sensor 1 – pH probe 1 – 20×4 LCD module 1 – 158x90x60mm Enclosure […]
Berry Racer – a Game Programmed in Arduino and Played on a Custom PCB
Berry Racer is a game that I came up with and programmed using Arduino’s Software. The game is run on a Teensy microcontroller which is connected through a custom PCB (Printed Circuit Board) to a Screen, a Joystick, four buttons, and a piezo speaker. The board can be powered through the micro USB port on […]
Upright Laser Harp
Laser harps are musical devices with laser beam “strings.” When the beam is blocked, a note is played by the instrument. Usually laser harps have the beams travel vertically in the shape of a fan or vertical lines. In this project, I built a laser harp with stacked laser beams that propagate horizontally. The beams […]

Arduino Bluetooth Car Controlled by Labview
This is a Arduino RC car, originally based off of a project made by Owen_soo. It is very maneuverable, able to do quick turns, go backward and forward with just a flick of a switch. This was originally just going to be a very basic RC car that can go forward and turn right or left. […]
DIY Smart Follow Me Drone With Camera (Arduino Based)
Drones are very popular toys and tools these days. You can find professional and even beginner drones and flying gadgets in the market. I have four drones (quadcopters and hexcopters), because I love everything that flies, but the 200th flight isn’t so interesting and starts to be boring, so I decided that I will build […]
RFID Door Lock With Arduino
Here we are with the classic RFID door lock. It’s classic in that whole, “We live in the future and take it for granted at this point” sense. In this tutorial, we will set up a door latch that can be opened with the swipe of an RFID Tag! We will program a list of […]
