Ever wondered how the chameleon changes its colour through the changes in environmental colours? There’s something called Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone or MSH. If you want to dig more into this please follow this Link. The stories apart, I wanted to build ambient lighting system or something like the chameleon. This looks cool and also it helps […]
I’ve been growing more and more interested in the idea of First Person Video (FPV) drone racing. I’ve recently acquired a small drone and wanted a way of timing my laps – this is the resulting project. This drone landing pad features an integrated ultrasonic sensor that detects a drones presence. When a drone departs […]
In this Instructables I want to show how to make a simple and cheap arduino plotter that can draw on eggs or other spherical objects. In addition, soon Easter and this homemade will be very handy Step 1: Watch the Video Step 2: Materials List of materials: -Arduino Uno -2х Stepper motor (28BYJ-48) -2x Stepper […]
This project is based on mostly items which are easy to find. The idea is to take two unused computer disk units and combine them to create an automated drawing machine which resembles a CNC machine. The pieces used out of the drives include the motors and railings from both of the drives and the […]
Let’s learn to adjust an LED’s brightness using one of the Arduino’s analog outputs. You’ve probably already learned how to use Arduino’s digital i/o pins to send HIGH and LOW signals to an LED, but some of these pins are capable of simulating a signal somewhere in between. These pins are labeled on the Arduino Uno […]
You’ve all probably had a chance to do that classic high-school experiment: pop bottle rockets. You’ve probably taped on some fins, a paper nosecone, and presto! You launch a “rocket” that is loads of fun- and watched it fall down from the sky. Why stop there? Here, I’ll show you the basics of building the […]
Hi there, This is my contribution to the Space-Contest. There are some ISS-Pointer around the WWW. Some of them use several PSUs and/or quite big motors. My goal was to build something cheap, looking cute and a little bit badass – all powered with only one 5 Volt PSU. If the GIF and/or the embedded Video don’t work, here […]
Yes, I know what you’re thinking, this does seem a little overkill but first of all, you’ll never have to worry about stubbing your toe again and second, it makes walking up and down your stairs so much fun, i found myself going upstairs for no reason just to watch the lights follow me. I mean it […]
In this Instructable I will be taking you through the basics of creating your own 6 keyed macropad, controlled by an Arduino. I will be taking you through what you need, how to assemble it, how to program it, and how to improve it or make it your own. After much research, I couldn’t really […]
The story of this clock goes back a long way – more than 30 years. My father pioneered this idea when I was just 10 years old, long before the LED revolution – back when LED’s where 1/1000 the brightness of their current blinding brilliance. A true innovator, he coded in assembly language and hand […]
