Pushbuttons or switches connect two points in a circuit when you press them. This example turns on the built-in LED on pin 13 when you press the button. image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page Connect three wires to the Arduino board. The first two, red and black, connect to the […]

Soft Squares – Chisel Away With Arduino in Unity
For this project, I created an Arduino-powered chisel which can communicate with a game I made in Unity, Soft Squares. You can paint over a 5 x 5 x 5 cube and chip away cubes you don’t need, to create a miniature sculpture of whatever you’d like! You can even add colour to your creations. […]
Create an internet controlled robot using Livebots
Here you will learn how to create an internet controlled robot or other installation using Livebots. Livebots is a project I’m working on which consists of an easy to use website for all the robots that people can interact with through the internet. As an example I will be using a simple Arduino UNO with a LED […]
The “Rare Vogel” Birdhouse Controller
A birdhouse controller for a bird based game, why? I saw this birdhouse in the store and felt instantly inspired! Going from something big and grand with a shortage of time for the school’s deadline to something small and cute. It inspired an entire game around it! It was an interesting project, I learned how […]
Using the Arduino Uno to program ATTINY84-20PU
Using the Arduino Uno to program ATTINY84-20PU (Newark item # 68T3783). This Instructable shows how to use the Arduino platform to work with physically smaller processors, such as the ATtiny84 (84/44/24), ATtiny85 (85/45/25), and ATtiny2313. This example is specifically for the ATtiny84-20PU processor (Newark item # 68T3783) but can be adapted for the others boards […]
3D Printed Timelapse/3D Scanning Turntable
An affordable Arduino Turntable designed for Time lapse photography. Changing the gearing and code it can also be used for Photogrammetry/3D scanning or Video. The turntable operates on the move shoot move principle in the Timelapse and Photogrammetry modes where the camera is triggered via the sync cable. The electronics can be adjusted based on […]
Home Made Bezel / Window for LCD, LED, TFT Displays.
I’ve been working on a project that used a 16×2 LCD display and wanted a nice finish that also allowed me to seal against water and other liquids. I also needed impact resistance, low cost and the ability to be changed easily if worn or broken. I considered many different ideas:- 1) A full sheet […]
MaKey MaKey Monome using Arduino
Objective: build a monome – a complex electronic music instrument – using easy-to-learn, inexpensive components and a process that’s so easy a kid could do it. Gist: This touchscreen music instrument is essentially 4 parts: MaKey MaKey (or Arduino) Neopixels copper tape cardboard Sound is produced in either Scratch (visual programming language for kids) or […]
Custom NanoLeaf Lights! DIY, Wireless, Modular, Arduino, 3D Printed!
I am very excited to share this project with you because it looks absolutely beautiful and is super easy to make! It’s a NanoLeaf inspired wireless Arduino RGB LED lights project that not only allows you to create any custom NanoLeaf shape you want but also use the same identical segments to create a 4-digit […]
Arduino and Xbee wireless setup
The Arduino Wireless shield allows your Arduino board to communicate wirelessly using Zigbee. This documentation describes the use of the shield with the XBee 802.15.4 module (sometimes called “Series 1” to distinguish them from the Series 2 modules, although “Series 1” doesn’t appear in the official name or product description). A Simple Example You should be able […]
