This project and instructable were made as part of an assignment at HKU ( University of the Arts Utrecht ), during the module: If This Then That. In this instructable we’ll be making a small game console that plays an inverted version of pong. In this version of pong you’ll be dodging the balls instead […]

Emotidora: Hats with Emotions using Arduino
This project, Emotidora, will help a user express his/her emotions about events in day-to-day life. Weve all been in situations where something very exciting or unfortunate has happened to us and we want to share it with other people. This usually involves the expression of some emotion through visual cues, and when prompted by a […]
Pseudo Perpetual Spinning Top
You must have seen many magic tricks and wondered how it works so, here’s another one but you don’t have to figure out how it works. I will show how it works (Spoiler – It uses magnets and some electronics) and how you can make one yourself. This magic Spinning Top rotates forever and you […]
WAVEbuoy using Arduino
The WAVEbuoy is a arduino lamp connected to the internet that displays the current wave height of any of the National Data Buoy Centre’s wave buoys. This lamp is currently connected to the Sevenstones Lightship buoy that gives an indication of swell approaching Cornwall in the UK. The lamp can also be connected to any […]
Arduino Keyboard and Mouse Control Code
This example illustrates the use of the Mouse and keyboard libraries together. Five momentary switches act as directional buttons for your cursor. When a button is pressed, the cursor on your screen will move, and a keypress will be sent to the computer. Once you have the Leonardo programmed and wired up, open up your […]
Remote Controlled Car Using Cardboard
Every maker at least once make or tries to make RC Car. RC Cars are widely available yet the joy of playing with the one you made yourself can’t be compared with the bought one. So I decided to make a Wireless RC Car with the easiest available material i.e. Cardboard. No need for a […]
Arduino ADK LED Lighting
Have you ever wanted to control electronics with your smartphone? The Arduino ADK (Android Development Kit) is the Arduino Mega with a built in USB host device, ready for your smartphone to be plugged in! We’ll make a simple introductory project with a few LED strips and a relay (to control the high voltages of […]
Marblevator, Perpetual?, Cradle.
“Marblevator, Pertual?, Cradle” like “Marblevator, Perpetual?, Version 2” and “Marblevator, Perpetual?” is not perpetual at all as it is simply another illusion. And like its predecessors it is a very quiet illusion with the only noise being that of the marble as it rolls back and forth in the cradle. I’ve incorporated an Arduino Nano […]
Pixel Drop Ceiling using Arduino
In our living room we have a small patch of drop ceiling right in the middle of the room, basically a giant piece of duct tape to cover up bad carpentry. It was constantly getting water damage from what looks like a giant hole in the ceiling above the drop tiles. After roughly a year […]
Audio Visualizer With an LCD Display
People love listening to music. It is as they say, music reflects our mood. And it is a spectacle to see music become ‘alive’ right before our eyes. Well, that’s what music visualization does. According to Wikipedia, music visualization “generates animated imagery based on a piece of music. The imagery is generated and rendered in […]
